Fogou's GORKAMORKA

[Zaheer]

Gorkamorka was always 'the game that got away' from me during my childhood, games observed at GeeDubs as I peered over the table edge, mysterious miniatures in a thumbed-through Roolz Book... However it happened its always been the project I wanted to return to. Something about Angelis and the orks and the snapshot of an open world in the 40K universe with good 'bones' to hang your own stories on. Well here we are.

I'm probably unlikely to find an opponent any time soon (and because I just want to) I'll be adjusting the fluff a little bit, and homebrewing some of the existing factions and perhaps adding more.

I'm perhaps starting this log a bit late as I've already managed to finish most of my first mob, but better late than never. Here's what I have so far, I need to finish the metal on all of these but I'm currently engaged in a one-sided dialogue on ebay over a pot of Vallejo silver that never turned up... Here they are as-is just so that I am committed publicly to this.



Spanner + two boys.



Boy with shoota + yoof.



Nob - Not entirely happy with this, he actually looks better in the photo! For now he'll do.



"Here we are now, all the lads..."


Truck #1 "AGE OF QUARREL"


Truck #2 "ROUGH JUSTICE"

Thanks everyone!

Looking good so far ,liking the skin tones 👍

Very nice. I like the non-GW skintones on your greenskins orks, and also the use of the older miniature ranges.

The truks look good too; very reminiscent of the original 2nd ed and Gorkamorka ones, but suitably modernized. I lke the use of the 'modern' ork truk parts in the first one. And did you use the original model as a base for the second one?

And this reminds me; The Voivod once made me a deal; he would paint up a Necromunda gang to oppose mine, and I would build a Gorkamorka mob to fight his. My gang was built and undercoated black, but never made it further, and I have yet to play a game of Gorkamorka. Perhaps it's time to dust them off and sling some paint at them...

Thank you, where Red Orks came from I've no idea, but it's been lodged in the brain box for a while!

Cheers! I am mostly inspired by the original models and illustrations, and less so by subsequent ork stuff, so I was conciosuly trying to evoke that style of vehicle. First one is a whole new chassis with the buggy bits you can see. The second one is an OG truck yes, I want to use a more or less unaltered original truck at some point so hope I managed to make it look different enough!

Never enough Orks, sling!

I really enjoy a bit of GM. 

I think there is a bloke that goes by the handle Flamin' Kebob that put together a bunch of resources for GM and put them online somewhere.  Things like alternate rules, warbands, and Klan rulez.

Love it! These are cracking. Gorkamorka is where I carry my love for smallest bases possible from. I keep meaning to look at the rules for some 20mm gaslandsy-fun. Following this one closely!

Looks awesome!

The flesh tone is gorgeous! Reminds me of the Pinkies from Doom

Is that the unnamed Gorkamorka site? https://gorkamorka.co.uk/

Always small bases.

Thanks folks.

Really nice Orks. The trucks are amazing. I hope for more soon 

[Genghis]

Some really nice work there, I like the different skin tone.

[Zaheer]

Cheers! I fear I may have accidentally peaked with the spanner boy skin-tone wise, but I am trying to stick by a 'make do and move on' policy.

Just the driver for Rough Justice today. Uncompromising photo shows that I need to re-do his bionic eye in direct contravention of the above policy, hah!

Gorka Morka! Keep it coming.... now I need to find my stuff and freshen it up..

[SotF]

GorkaMorka was the first actual wargame I played...

Only thing that is a real pain is the bases used because those things do not mix well with ork construction due to instability. Most people I know that play off and on tend to just use the 40k bases and allow bases to overlap rather than deal with them and models falling all over the place.
