After seeing the neat image of a Rogue Trader era Battlewagon at From The Warp, I was overwhelmed by memories of the oldschool Final Liberation game. This PC game from 1997 was a faithful recreation of Epic Armageddon for Windows, and I loved it back in the days.
What I really liked about the game was its encyclopedia with computer-generated images of all Imperial and Ork units. I've searched my harddisc and found out that I still have them around - so I thought I could share some:
This, ofcourse, is the Battlewagon, armed with Autocannon. While I don't like the old 40K Battlewagon at all, this one looks pretty cool.
This is Bonebreaka, armed with a Deathroller and a more powerful Battlecannon...
...And this is Bonecruncha, replacing the Battlecannon with twin-linked Autocannons.
Third tank is my personal favourite - Gutrippa, armed with Battlecannon and klaws, a specialty of the Goff clan.
Finally, this is Giblet Grinda, the only Ork super-heavy tank available in the game, armed with five turret-mounted Autocannons and a Deathroller.
While the modern-day Battlewagon certainly looks great, I miss "real" ork tanks like these. The good thing is, it shouldn't be hard to convert a Bonebreaka or Gutrippa out of a Rhino chassis! I'll have to try that one day.
Well, that's all for now, but I can certainly post more of these oldschool images later. So see you soon!

Yeah, old Epic Ork stuff is great. Final Liberation was very fun, just prone to crashes and some odd moments.
OdpovědětVymazatsonsoftaurus: I wonder what odd moments do you have on your mind? :) That game was indeed fun, pity no datadiscs were ever released for it!
