Gather round Meks and BigMeks alike and see what the Orks have been up to for the past thirty years.
The 3rd Generation Buggies
In 2018 the Ork buggies multipled into a series of carzy Mad-Max contraptions varying from food trucks to dragsters. Every one really gives that sense of speed and danger. Just the thing for a Kult of Speed Warboss. Can you believe it’s been a year?
Crashed Dakkajet – no problem, just add tires.
SQUIGS! GET YOUR TASTY SQUIGS!
There is no ork word for too fast.
More DAKKA!
All fire all the time.
2nd Generation Buggy
But before this guy came one of the longest living kits in the 40K range. Of course I’m talking about the 21 year old Warbuggy most of you knew and loved:
The image below is from the 1997 citadel catalog when the mini first came out:
We of course will take a quick aside to 1998’s Gorkamorka which gave us the Rokkit Buggy, one year after the original was released:
This kit added a handful of metal bits for the rokkit, “safety cage”, front armor, spike and the gunner.
1st Generation Buggy
Now we’re going waaaaaaay back to Rogue Trader for the original Ork buggy. This guy came out in 1988 and was one of the earliest Ork minis in 40K.
Here it is in the 1991 Citadel catalog, with a closeup of the bits.
And here it is in the 1989 catalog with the other small attack vehicles:
Finally what you’ve been waiting for – here are it’s original Rogue Trader stats, and the closeup of the rare “small buggy” variant:
~We’ve come a long way in 30 years. Anyone still have some of the old metal ones still roaring across the tabletop?
