There's a rather huge dreadnought and some very nice designs of vehicles on the FW site these days, with their next upcoming supplement being an ork one. Go have a look if you've not seen them.

Wonder if we'll ever see anyone make epic versions of any of these?

What with the eradication of the AV sized Stompa from the background (all 40k 'Stompas' are now DC4 War Engines, effectively what we know as Supa Stompas), this new Mega Dread seems to fill that niche.

It even has similar weapon options to the Epic Stompa.

Looking at the experimental rules for it, it looks it'd be pretty damn similar to an epic stompa if converted to epic.

Aaargh! We've been Retconned!

And there I was thinking that Glyn had painted some of his Orks!...;-)

Needz moar bukkets wif teef. That thing is way, way too humanoid (orkanoid?) for an Orky warmachine.

Not that it isn't pimp, mind you. The right arm revolver cannon specifically kicks nine kinds of ass.

It looks good until you see it next to the FW Dreadnaught. Then you get an idea of the size of the thing - it is huge!

It really is the size of what Epic calls a 'Stompa'.

It is a tad on the large side, but with the right kind of modifications it could make a rather interesting Mega Gargant proxy..and a gargant design that looks like it might just actually be able to walk.

I quite like that Killcrusha tank as well. Very orky! The most interesting news is those weathering powders though. I think I might have to try those out.

Tank looks awesome!

I personally dont like that Mega-Dread much. It is obviously Stompa sized, but looks like a too big jawed Dredd. But then again, maybe if you take that jaw-gob away it could look like helluvabig-dredd.

Damn, that's real nice. If it was 1/3 the size I'd definitely pick one up for a great gargant.

Ooooo, a return to the true Orky tanks of yore! :O  I hope they follow up with some more Ork Armor.

Could maybe buy two and make a walking Big Krawler Gargant too (OGBM transporter submarine converted for land travel).
