Tabletop Spotlight: Orruk Maw-Krusha
The Tabletop Spotlight is on the Maw-Krusha!
Hey BoLS Readers – This is a kit I have been waiting to take a look at for while now. I’m very happy that our friends from Dragon’s Lair Comics & Fantasy were able to bring this one over to dive into. Here comes the Orruk Maw-Krusha
I love this new kit – I don’t even play Orruks and I wanted to get my hands on this one. It’s super well done and has an amazing amount of detail. I really think we are in a Golden Age of Model making from Games Workshop. The amount of quality, size and (lack of) weight that these kits has is just phenomenal. Compared to other Tabletop Wargaming models*, GW (and this Maw-Krusha in particular) are just at the top of the game.
The Orruk Maw-Krusha kit is very impressive. It’s a great take on a new Orky beast. Michael best described it as “a mix between a Bulldog, an Alligator and a Dragon” and I would say that is the best description I’ve ever heard. The Orruk Warboss on top is also extremely well done. He’s got a bunch of weapon options as well – and I love the fact that he’s basically just chained in a bolted to the Maw-Krusha’s back.
Overall, I really could go on about how great this kit is – but I think you get the picture. This is the perfect centerpiece model for the Grand Alliance: Destruction. If I was going to start a new Age of Sigmar Army tomorrow, I’d start with this model and go from there. Good Job on this one GW – keep it up!
Megaboss on Maw-Krusha
Orruk Megabosses are pretty killy – it’s how they become as huge as they do, all that stompin’ causes them to grow and grow and grow until the power of the Waaagh! flows through them. But for some Megabosses, this isn’t enough! These particularly angry orruks seek out and subdue enormous Maw-krushas (often by yelling really, really loudly at them) – ill-tempered and powerful creatures who enjoy smashing stuff up almost as much as the orruks themselves. This uneasy pairing never really gets along especially well, and the Megaboss needs to constantly remind his Maw-krusha who’s in charge with the liberal application of an iron boot to the back of the head. Despite this, almost nothing on the battlefield can withstand their noisy rampage, and the immense number of kills they rack up inspires nearby orruks to fight ever harder.
AdvertisementThis multi-part plastic kit contains all the components necessary to assemble one Megaboss on Maw-krusha. Standing atop his fierce steed, the Megaboss is armed with either a boss gore-hacka and scrap-tooth or a choppa and rip-tooth fist – both options are suitably killsome. The Maw-krusha features an alternative mask and bladed tail. This kit contains 63 components, includes a Citadel 160mm Round base, and can be optionally assembled as Gordrakk, the Fist of Gork.
GREENSKINS – WAAAAGH!!!!
* I don’t consider Gunpla in the same industry as Games Workshop. But both make excellent model kits.
