Hey guys,
My FLGS is starting up a Gorka Morka summer campaign! I'm really stoked.
Been going over the rules and can't figure something out. Is there any real difference between a trukk vs buggy or trak (besides that traks move a little slower)?
The rules seem to say that as long as you can fit a model on a vehicle it can hitch a ride. So what is the distinction between say, a Trukk and a Buggy, exactly? Anything? Or can I just make whatever vehicle I want?

>Is there any real difference between a trukk vs buggy
According to Da Uvver Book; no. They are the same thing.
>trak (besides that traks move a little slower)?
Can go over rough terrain I think.
Gorkamorka's "any models that you can balance can fit" is based on using guys with very slim special bases. If you plan on using 40k round bases, model extra planks on your Trukks to fit your guys.
>based on using very slim bases
not only that but ork infantry models are considerably chunkier than their 2nd edition counterpart, the same goes for their vehicles.
If you wanted to make a trukk/trak/whatever bigger, then do so. It doesn't change the points costs, because it makes you an easier target. A larger target is easier to see, shoot, chase and ram, so mention that if anyone kicks up a stink,
Bikes, for example, pretty much have to be modified if you want more than one person to sit on it, otherwise you're paying 10 teef for a vehicle that can only hold one guy.
If you have access to the Gorkamorka line of Orks, they make great Yoofs. 2e proper....kind of suck; really bad proportions.
Aye, the metal gorkamorka models (nobs, spannas yoofs) are well sized compared to the original plastics that came with the boxed set
2nd edition plastic orcs are thinner (but taller) than a cadian
You can even put multiple models on bikes? I kinda assumed those were one-ork machines.
I haven't read all the rules yet, but can drivers, gunner and bike riders dismount and fight on foot? Should I have spare models for them?
>multiple models on bikes
Nothing says anything against it, and plenty of the artwork depicts someone riding on the backseat with a shoota or kannon, so our group allows it, though I don't think it's too drastic a thing to expect.
The previous Ork bike had a long, rectangular seat that had room to plonk another model onto it. If You wanted a passenger for a bike, the easiest way is to just lengthen the seat with some plasticard/greenstuff. If you can find a PDF of Da Uvver Book, check out the "Mobs of Mektown" in the photos section.
There are tons of vehicles of wildly varying sizes, from bikes teeny enough to fit only a single guy on, trikes, chimera-sized Wartraks and Battlewagon sized Trukks.
>can they dismount and fight on foot
Aye, not only can they can dismount by choice (except bike drivers, if that has no driver it falls over and becomes immobilized), but a common damage result is being knocked in a direction a few inches, which could knock a driver/gunner off their vehicle
Having on-foot doubles or magnetizing/pinning your gunners and drivers is probably for the best
I am so goddamn stoked to play this game.
How the hell did it fall out of favor?
Is it rumored to come back with the other specialist games?
Why lengthen the seat when you can just make a side car.
Brilliant
