This week the Meks in the Design Studio bring to bear their latest death-dealing inventions, the Mek Gunz, along with a bold and brilliant new interpretation of an evergreen favourite, the shokk attack gun. I’m still painting up my army of Imperial Knights (I‘m getting a bit obsessed with House Terryn heraldry) , but I can feel my hobby focus wavering as the call of the Waaagh! grabs me in its big green grip and refuses to let go… I’m not the only one, either. Adam, in particular, has been countin’ his teef and proclaimed himself rich beyond measure – to celebrate, he has written features on the most notable Ork Waaaghs! and the fact that you can now build a properly shooty Ork army, thanks to advent of the Mek Gunz, Gorkanaut, shokk attack gun and Flash Gitz. More dakka is always a welcome thing.

With batteries of these at their disposal, th e Gretchin can tear, smash and crush the enemy from afar while the Boyz get stuck in with choppas. Above-The bubblechukka projects a wide orb offorcefield energy around its victims, before contracting it to crush them to death. Ork Mek Boys are responsible for making all the weird and wreckful wargear the greenskinned hordes unleash on the battlefield. With nothing more than a mismatched pile of scrap, they can build guns, armour or even war machines, just as long as you give them enough time. Of course, the number one item that any Warboss wants his Meks making is things that kill the enemy in as noisy, explosive and messy a manner as possible and thus, in Ork camps everywhere, the mekshops resound to the clangour of industry, a
