~Hey Ork players, prepare to blow the bottom outta yo pants!~

Forgeworld is doing two new vehicles, a bigger dread, and a new ork tank!

The Tank....Meh....not that cool.....

The super dread.....that is FRICKIN' COOL!!!! I want one!!!

Paz, is there any reference to scale? I think i see an ork poppin outta the head there, but I am not sure. Is it bigger then the Stompa?

Ohhh....I was looking at the "rules" on the forgeworld site......Paz's pics are unforetunately missleading a bit....but in a good way. I thought the dread was HUGE....but it is not.

The tank is a Super-Heavy......but exceptionally versitile in the shots it can fire.....it even has a Hellstorm Template if can fire outta the main gun.

The Mega Dread is just a "big" dread. It can be played in a normal game and it is not all that crazy.

175 points
WS 4; BS 2; S 8(10); F 13; S 13; R 11; I 2; A 3

Weapons:
KillKannon (same as battlewagon)
Ripper Claw (Dreadnought Powerfist with +1 to Damage Table rolls)
2 Big Shootas
Extra Armour
As well, it is a Ramshackle Monster --> Give it a 5+ invulnerable save.

There are some options you can add to it. One gives it fleet for 1 round for 15 points, and you can have 2 CC arms or 2 cannons (counting the cannon as TL)

So, it is tough.....but I dont think it is really overpowered.....especially considering Killkannon is 24" range. Plus, it will be a fire magnet. I dont think any cover would be able to hide it.

When's the next forgeworld order... I need that... *drool*

Considering I have 3 dreads and 9 kans already what's 1 more? lol

I am looking to buy some Manticores from FW, so If people want to get one together soon, I'm in.

Does anyone know any ork players who use stock kits for their vehicles?

I like the dreadnought thing, but I think most of the armies I see use either sctachbuilt stuff, looted stuff from other ranges all convertified and stuff.

I am seriously considering ordering it, but I wont know until after the weekend. If I do decide to order it, all I will need is about another 120 pounds to make the magic 250.

I will post on here later this weekend to let others know if I am going to do an order

hey Ryan, let me know when, and ill pitch in for an order

I havn't seen any on the table here yet, but they do look extremely good and if I played vehicles I would use the GW/FW vehicles over scratch built, and not just because I'm =I=censor=I= at building things either lol.
