I'm interested to see what they do with the AoS side of things largely for background material. The Old World version is a lot less appealing.

I like that there's an option. AoS doesn't appeal as much to me, but I'd give it a crack if given the option.

Is that the old old kit with the tiny driver?

Yeah. They repacked old models - from Assault on Black Reach for instance - with stickers instead of decals and sell them at toy stores instead of model shops. But at insane prices, at least here in Portugal.

Depends on what you think is old  ;) this looks to be the Trukk from the Gorka Morka game, so mid to late 90's and the driver was in line with the orks from that era, but tiny compared to anything nowadays

Sorry to brake it to you, but yes, that is considered old these days.
Not judging, I'm right there with you  ;)

Wondering if they'll be available here and if it would be worth it. Well, maybe more the marines, but still...

Lol Gorkamorka is 20yrs old, meaning I was playing it on my mum's living room floor when I was 14. I remember being wowed and by Brian Nelson's brand new metal figures but worrying that they didn't fit with my collection of Adams/Perry Space Orks from 1st/2nd ed.

The more things change, eh?

Invert this completely, and I agree.  lol

I am excited that they're still acknowledging the Old World.

Interested to see how they flesh out the AoS fluff.

Good times!

Indeed.
Which bodes well for a possible re-release of Mordheim.......maybe.

I'm a Goldenstorm Lightningcast type! Although I haven't completely given up my old f*** grognard card. I bought some pre-slotta skellies at the weekend...

How are the AoS Skirmish rules? One thing that struck me when I tried AoS was how it had potential for smaller, skirmishy games.

...with a healthy amount of houseruling, of course.
