The Unnamed Gorkamorka Site

Random bit of GoMo trivia for today – Jay, as in Jay and Silent Bob, painted Gorkamorka stuff back in the day.

According to Jay and Silent Bob Get Old (a podcast with Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes), Mewes used to paint a lot of wargaming miniatures, and Gorkamorka gets a mention (around 1hr 20min into the first episode). It’s not much, but I can’t think of any celebrities that have ever been remotely associated with Gorkamorka, so it’s a little bit cool.

I got the tip-off from Mighty Beardtrix, where you can also find stuff about other famous wargamers.

So, it’s nearly the end of 2010 and the chances of finding an unopened original Gorkamorka box set are virtually non-existent, right?

Well, yes, but skarnir found one, and even filmed the unboxing of it for your enjoyment:

So, that’s what those of you who got their mitts on it back in the day saw; there’s not really that much else to say, it’s just pretty fantastic.

Rabtar has been in touch on the Waaagh and requested a complete PDF of the current iteration of the rules for the Dust Rats. This seemed pretty reasonable to us, so Flamekebab was shackled to a copy of MS Word 2007 (too many tables to do it in Scribus right now, don’t ask). Several hours later and a louder tirade of obscenities than usual, the following PDF emerged.

As before, feedback on the rules can go in the comments, or over on the relevant topic on The Waaagh.

If you’d like to different components and Tagz, there’s links to them all here.

It’s taken a month and a half but we’re pleased to announce that The Wall is back up and running. Sorry about the issues there, it seems we forgot to put a suitable meta tag in its template, breaking things when we upgraded to WordPress 3.0 a while back, or at least that’s our best bet.

Shorter version: The Wall is back, head over there and post a comment!

Remember Flamekebab’s Seekers of Slaanesh kitbash article last month? Well, between him and Midnight they’ve finally got a painted Mutie:

There are a few additions to the model, like the Space Marine scope (which dates back to 1998, a gift from Laurence K, back in the old country!) and a few accessories from some Space Marine Scouts. The goggles are made from green stuff.

You might have noticed the rock beneath the mount’s right foot is unpainted, well the model isn’t finished yet – it’s going to be based at some point for the sake of stability, but there hasn’t been time yet. More photos:
