They still have tanks? Not that I don't love the Lungbursta...
...I just realised the strange robot model that I couldn't identify that I sold on ebay years ago for a pittance was an Eldar Ghost Warrior. They'd completely passed my by. Whoops. Well, someone got a bargain. Mind you in those days the gouging for OOP models wasn't so obscene as it is now.
As for Orks & tanks... I thought official Ork doctrine was still "take someone else's tank and stick orky stuff to it". Or maybe that's what you mean - you preferred when they had their own tanks?

I was counting their rewriting of the battlewagon with the names for their major epic 40k tanks as having tanks.
Yes I'm referring to epic 40k when they had a wonderful range of orky tanks. I disliked the gormamorkafication of the orks.
Epic Ork tanks had such cool names too... Sleenripper, Gobsmasha, Gutripper, Bowelburner, Bonebreaker, Braincrusher and Lungburster (did I miss any?). Ah the good old days...
I may still have it, but I suspect I painted over into an Inquisitor vehicle, or maybe SoB (when they first came out)
I love the old ork dreadnaught, the one with a pair of claws and a pair of heavy weapons sticking out of basically a barrel. mainly nostalgia though, i think it was the first thing other than a fixed pose space marine i ever painted. probs 1995 or so. still have the legs! and i turned the lascannon into a fixed weapon thing for a campaign so its been recycled in true 90s ork fashion!
dont know anything about new plastic orks though, sorry.

Yeah, it was the death knell for the vibrant imaginative Orks of old. Now everything is basically Mad Max knockoffs - which is ironic as they didn’t need to rid of that IP again (Dark Future) as they already had a rich background and design aesthetic for the Orks!!
They were magnificent! The Weirdboy tower was particularly funny - literally a Stone tower being driven about on a vehicle chassis.
It was always my hope that gw would make all these magnificent vehicles for 40k
I always found it fascinating that they had tiled roofing

At least a few of these got the old cardboard and slotta base treatment. A friend had a Gobsmasha he'd built from the old Modelling Workshop articles. That's the White Dwarf content I really miss.It was always my hope that gw would make all these magnificent vehicles for 40k

That's my favourite of the new buggies as it's clearly inspired by some of those classic designs.
Ramshackle has a Spleenrenda (totally not called that though!)

Glad to see a lot of love for the old ork vehicles, I lived the old bikes, buggies, Walthamstow and skorchas, and lets not forget the old Mekboy vehicles.
Oh! And Pulsa Rokkits!
Not a fan of the new Snakdakka Waaghspeedsterz or whatever the new tanks are called, all they needed to do was remake the Gobsmasha and call it a day.
As for classic old models, I'm a sicker for the RTB01 beakies, would take them over Primaris all day every day.

I like the new buggies but their names are ridiculous. It is like the wanted to recreate the old ork Days but forgot how to make funny names
Late to the party, just piping in about the minotaurs. Off thetop of my head, they have the biggest discrepancy between old miniatures and new plastics. I wouldn't accept those new sculpts as a gift!*
(*Hyperbole, of course I would, I'm not a total asshole. But you get the idea)
I think we can add dragon ogres to the list of big guys.
