![Warcradle Studios Reveal TINY New 10mm Festive Marker! [Updated]](https://images.beastsofwar.com/2025/11/christmas-kyle-main-600-338.jpg)
Very much looking forward to implementing this into my Ork Army. Kit bash the living s%$t out of them. As far as how to make them go fast rub the Nobz for all he’said worth.
Nodz like it rough so, grab a hand full of sand and rubbbbbbbb till you’re raw.
Morning all.
Just saying … Who needs to spend a fortune on Speed Freaks when Gaslands gives you all the racing killie goodness you ever need.
‘cuz its Orks … and Orks da best 😉
Never appealed to me only ones I ever had were Bloodbowl ones… Now if it were Skaven…that would be a totally different barrel of interesting..;-)
Skaven ? oh man … if it wasn’t for the masses of miniatures I’d love them to bits.
Definitely would prefer them over Orks, but they’re not in 40k (yet ?)
They used to be… Way way back: Hrud.
This also goes for the excellent Maximillian 1934 rules.
Good point, but the new ork buggies are very cool, and you could always play gaslands with them.
Morning all.. I am awake waaaaay too early…?
Best song for Speed Freeks
https://youtu.be/whxcq4I0kAo
But it doesn’t mention nobz!
Speed Freak by Motorhead obvious song
https://youtu.be/R7tTZTF2CyY
Need to buy more go fast red and green paint 🙂
Motorhead for sure! They are the original speed freaks!
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D5OyAuYvijPo&ved=2ahUKEwiSm7bxrpTeAhVDn-AKHbIPBNcQyCkwAHoECAoQBA&usg=AOvVaw2f3ULaYcIhOnrlIX-V58s_
I like this one for death races ?
By the guitarist for Dethklok
Bat out of hell?
Always a classic!
Thanks guys 🙂 will watch over dinner when I get home this evening. Somewhat looking forward to seeing what they have done with Speedfreaks as it’s Orktober afterall
I love how big Ork Nobz make Warren so happy.
Good morning everyone!!! Just started but had to comment before I forgot.
Without a doubt my SpeedFreak song is ‘Flirtin’ With Disaster’ by Molly Hatchet!
Of course everone knows that the way to make your Knob go faster is to paint it RED!
It’s The Weekend!!
One song I have used while racing in video games is Black Sunshine from White Zombie. But a list would include Heart’s Barracuda, Ministry’s Psalm 69, Iron Maiden’s Trooper, and Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song.
I never liked Orks …. but now I wants. More Dakka More Speed … gets ze red paint.
need to go fasta! *wheeee* *WHAAAAAAGGGG!!!*
My only regret is that the Eldar didn’t get similar treatment.
oh … and I need more of me to do all the stuff I want. Anyone got a cloning machine I can use?
My only regret is that Squats never got the same treatment, you are right about the cloning machine 😉 ….. *muses philosophically* alas life is full of regrets 🙂
GW mentions that every time Squats are mentioned their codex gets pushed back … so *grrr*
I kind of hope we can do them as a killteam. And there’s one in Necromunda IIRC.
We need to be as patient as Squats. 😉
yes I read comment #89 in GW’s 500 facts today …. >:-( They are in “the book”
The only treatment eldar and squats need comes from the business end of a burna
Not only does GW finally redo buggies, but multiple different versions? Awesome.
The Fury Road theme was a good way to go, I reckon!
The best way to make an Ork go faster is an ACME rocket pack and some roller skates 🙂
Nob juice make a nob go faster and the bigger the nob the more and slicker the juice
Paint their nobs red! Duh! Song: Sammy Hagar – I Can’t Drive 55
How to make a Ork go faster. Shove a big red (has to be red, cause red is da fastest colour) rocket up its arse and point it at the stuff needed killing.
Dammit you beat me to it!! 😀
It’s a shame that none of the Orc jalopies are painted in proper British racing green
always amused me that British racing green is because of Ireland 🙂
Now I’ve learnt 2 things today
Ooooo how about Budgie “Crash Course in Brain Surgery” or “In The Grip of a Tyre Fitters Hand”
@warzan on the point of youtube. ive found it easier to bookmark my subscriptions page and use that instead of youtubes main page. Find things with no problem as long as ive subbed
OK the Battle Star Galactica really has me hyped. Can wait till Essen on Friday! If you want me to demo it for you I’m game! That would be awesome!
What I’d really love is a Armada sized game of Battle Star Galactica, that would be frigging EPIC!!!! I’d buy that so fast your head would spin, I’d be utterly out of control to be able to conduct fleet battles Armada Style on a game matt!!!! Base Stars and Battle Stars going at it with those tiny squadrons of vipers and raiders! I’m drooling!
Really looking forward to trying out all the new buggies!
Speed Freeks sounds like tons of fun.
As for ‘dinging the dong’. I redinged it. As Youtube adds frustration to everything it seems… sometimes deactivating the dongs I dinged in the past.
Now that was a mouthful!!!
Super awesome – Good Morning to all 🙂 fantastic prizes as always – and what a great show – luv the weekender #1 show
The Secret Weapon Junkyard Yard Tiles I got through Kickstarter will be perfect for Speed Freeks. Going faster? Nah, my Orks are all about looted vehicles, welding on lots of rusted armour, installing more dakka and attacking in force.
Big red Nobz is always da fastest! More speed! ?
Speedfreak – did Motörhead know this game would come out in the future?
Ork boyz sold out online at GW. Are new boyz coming?
I converted a Forge world Grot Bomber into a single seater racing car. I did this before Speedfreeks was announced as I had an idea for Orc car racing game, though a Death Race version. I’ll get a pic of it uploaded and link it in a reply.
https://www.beastsofwar.com/members/warhammergrimace/photos/#PhotoSwipe1540031223851
I used to have that little bomb, I wonder what happened to it. Love the conversion you’ve done
Cheers
Love it!
Making Orcs go faster is either have him be chased by a giant squid or paint him red
As always great show guys. I truly love those new Ork Vehicles, I always wanted to do an Ork Army but didn’t have the courage to do One more Horde Army… Now with this… It’s harder to resist ! 🙂
For Speed freeks musik, anything thing from the Swedish War metal band, Sabaton
Start vid Primo Victoria
White Zombie – Black Sunshine, though Dragula at a pinch (off).
And now that I’ve thought of it for another minute, Ministry – Jesus Built My Hotrod.
Ding’a’ding dang my dang’a’long ling long!
Literally the best song in history. Gibby on vocals and I love it love it love it!
How to make a ork go fast, simple paint it red or scrap a Gobo to a catapult, fire the Gobo, which is now going faster that the ork, ork gets angry, put foot to the floor and wills, the vehicle fast, catches up and passes the no flatten as it has hit the floor and repeat the process again and again.
Best song of Speed Freaks, Pop Will Eat Itself, I live in Splendour, I die in Chaos
The best possible Speed Freaks theme song is Jesus Built My Hotrod by the Ministry w/ musical drunk ranting by Gibby Haynes maybe swapping out “Gork n’ Mork” for Jesus.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRVMUOYTc3Y
Put an Ork in a warp rocket and set it of, just don’t know if he will survive but he will go fast.
Make em go faster by strappin’ a rokkit to dere bonce and play D’ya Wanna Go Faster by Terrorvision!
Speed Freeks… I keep thinking it’s like adult Mario Kart.
That Battlestar game has me interested.
Red nobs go faster, but sometimes slow and steady is better 😉
Don’t forget the song from convoy 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd5ZLJWQmss
How to make an Ork go faster? Polish its shiny nob until its throbbing red, as we all know red ones go fasta!
And as for a soundtrack? I can think of nothing finer than “Highway Star” by Deep Purple https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAKCR7kQMTQ
Dangerous driving song, Jesus Built my Hot Rod, by Ministry
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXCh9OhDiCI
Albedo, We need some samurai rabbits, or space rabbits. ala usagi yojimbo from Stan sekai
So I had a real bad night with next to no sleep, and was lying restless when The Weekender aired. So decided I might as well watch it right away, now sleep was eluding me anyway. Guess who fell asleep while listening to you guys chat about smashing your nobz together! I’m not gonna go into details about what kind of dream resulted of that. I can only say, I am now wide awake…and i will never go to sleep again 😀
Fantastic weekender as always 🙂 Thanks for the laughs.
LOL
Keeping to the spirit of the weekender, I want to replace the Megatrakk Scrapjet Nob with Dick, the awesome, Dastardly.
Muttley too if I can squeeze him in. This is dependant on how much room Dick takes up once the Nob has been removed.
I’m trying to be good and save my money for the 40k quest, Blackstone Fortress…
but Speed Freeks looks so much fun and there’s a lot in the box… those battle boards would be great for any skirmish game and there’s a lot of area involved in the four boards…
There’s only one possible solution… win a copy…
As for Ork music… this could be number one in their charts 🙂
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRZ-IxZ46ng
Or maybe not…
Speed Freeks looks like hella fun!
Is it going to have it’s own expansions? Are there (or will there be) additional Ork vehicles that can be included? Will there be rules to design/build your own construction?!
So much potential!
https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/10/21/next-week-the-codex-youve-been-waiting-for/
Well that answers that!
Don’t have to make a Nob go fasta. Just has to bash better than all da ovver nobz.
Red make orks go faster everyone known that. I am lovin the orky sounding names for the speed freak wagons
I know that #warzan likes his dong dinged, but I never had an issue with BoW content not showing up in my subscription feed, nor any other channel. And I never dinged his dong! I swear!
You must have dinged something else then! Dont touch the song just incase we jinx it mate 😉 lol
While Speed Freeks seems like fun game I doubt it will have what it takes to be huge hit. It just doesn’t seem to have potential to be expansive like Blood Bowl and Necromunda. Something that GW games tend to really shine with adding value to game and keeping things fresh.
I think Ministry Jesus Built MY HotRod would be a perf orky race song
Happy Saturday folks!
Speed Freeks looks interesting….wonder if I could convince a few at the club into a Formula Waaaagh championship!
Hmmm soundtracks….
Billy Idol – Speed
Yello – The Race
Prodigy – SpeedWay
why do people still watch the weekender on youtube,when its easier to just come over to beasts of war and watch it there ?
I want speed freaks, but with the reused bikes I’ve got too many of already it’s just not got the value there sadly
Speed Freaks looks great and lets play video makes it look great fun. Kind of like xwing with orks. I dont play orks in 40k but i still want it!
If you want your Nobz to go fasta then a Shokk jump from behind will definitely get him moving 😉
Hell bent for Leather by Judas Priest
YESSS! Also Freewheel Burning!
Happy weekend, a few years ago when Gamesdays where still a thing I actually build and designed a racing game with orks, even rebuild racing cars, don’t have the table any longer, but should have the orks… Obviously to make them go faster kitbash the hell out of them and paint them red 😀
Also here is a playlist I created for Gaslands and Speedfreaks just now 😛
https://open.spotify.com/user/21rw47rubkzqrhnqenpu5plti/playlist/1WcMryBw4JdFeoUuFqrXcI?si=w58S7yYtSAWkLERq4QgReQ
Song for speed freaks? I’d go with Diesel Power by Prodigy.
Pumping tune and Lyrics:
‘Transmissions, close like spores react, past strong visions’
‘Blows your mind drastically, fantastically’
‘Blowing up and having mad people showing up ‘
‘Yo, I’m on the energy source,The cosmic boss’
All very ORky to me!
Speed Freeks looks great. I think I’ll have to dust off my Gorkamorka rules now.
I love Speed Freeks!
Happy weekend everyone!
Well done on selling Speed Freaks to me! I wasn’t interested and suddenly hmmm!
We all know “red ones go fasta” thats the only way to get an ork to go faster… though I believe a red stripe also counts… They have to believe its faster first of course….
Sound track;
1) Chemical Brothers.. Hey Boy Hey Girl (ERE WE GO!)
2) AC/DC… Thunderstruck
3) Rob Zombie… Superbeast
4) Machine Head… Bulldozer
5) Iron Maiden… Be Quick or Be Dead
Back to my hobby 🙂
Have a great weekend everyone, and a great time at Essen. 😀
How to make Orks go faster? Rub it ’til its red, da red wuns iz alwayz faster! Theme song daydream believer… think about it.
Fuel them up with petroleum jelly.
Speedfreaks looks like a very cool game, more speed for my oro army! The best song for ork racing got to be Metallica Fuel
Put Queens “One Vision” on the stereo.
I can see Speed Freeks becoming a club regular game
Speeeeeed Freeeeeeks!!!! So excited to play this and to kit bash for it! The best track for it? Please see below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E929gqIcwwI
Save those nobz from Justin’s clippers!
Want to go faster – Paint it Red and poke your Nobz!
Bit of an obscure (criminally obscure) one: 77 Burnout by 500ft of Pipe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8kzcoVHAlQ
Game looks like fun.
my playlist would have Burn-Deep Purple,Highway to Hell-AC/DC,Sweet Emotion-Aerosmith,The Chain-Fleetwood mac,Purple Haze-Jimi Hendrix and All fired up by Pat Benatar.
Song would be Chop Suey by System of a Down.
For the giant race table you need traps and obstacles like:
-Giant Orc Wagon that chases the racers when they drive by.
-Snipers
-Oil slicks
-Spike traps
-Flame Thrower turrets
-Giant spinning death blades
I could go on.
You could make the map almost more of menace than the other players.
It would be race to see who gets the farthest before erupting in a ball of flames.
I’d just play the Speed Racer theme on loop. Game looks awesome!
Speed Freeks Playlist: Little Red Corvette by Prince. Lol.
Top tune!
Speedfreaks box will go great with the Ork Battlebox I was gifted.
glue ready, paintbrush ok, lots of red paint Go Go you speed Freeks waaaaa DAKKA DAKKA :):)
I am giving speed freeks a miss, I already have all the warbikes I want and looking at lets plays it, I will go gaslands in preference, 90 quid for 2 buggies doesn’t sell itself to me. Hoping the codex release is more than just the buggies in the way of new shinies.
Speeding up you ork its simple know-wots ya just need to make sure ya nob has a lot of thrust behind ‘im
Sound track – Judas Priest – Hell patrol
How do you make an Ork go faster? Laxatives.
Finally, Orktober has begun.
Happy weekend!
Paint your rig red because “Red go FASTAH!!!”, add a boombox (or two) and guns of course. I think @warzan got it right: Metallica! Of course the last Mad Max has a lot of good tracks for this too.
Paint them red, it always makes em go faster!
Red stripes would surely be the fastest of all
Would go too with Megadeth: Fast Lane and 1.320′.
Was thinking about SpeedFreeks music and I ended up going in a slightly different direction…
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAKSWgdTyY5Pf_dGkw4YUZuQ_-waxVgFx
I can just Ork Yoofs drag racing
Taking it from a different angle
https://youtu.be/eFWryTh130E
That’s my kinda take on it 🙂
I love the idea of this kind of “Faux civilisation”. Reminds me of Gremlins.
Great show guys.valhalla looks good
Speed Freaks songs
Be Quick or Be Dead-Iron Maiden
Freewheel Burning – Judas Priest
This my Orc Radio 1 Top 15
Highway to Hell- AC/DC
The Offspring – The Kids Aren’t Alright
Animal Alpha – Bundy (Featured in the videogame Burnout Revenge)
Steppenwolf – Born to be wild
Ozzy Osbourne – Crazy Train
Limp Bizkit – Rollin’
Motorhead – Ace of Spades
Paul Oakenfold – Ready, Steady, Go! (Featured in a lot of racing games)
Foo Fighters – The Pretender
Motley Crue – Kickstart my heart
Golden Earring – Radar Love
Sammy Hagar – I Can’t Drive 55
Saliva – Click Click Boom
Zeke – Ride to Live
Saliva – King of the Stereo
Warren if you want your Nobz to go faster increase the handling to shaft ratio!
I’m not crazy about the yellow speed dragster looking buggy for orks. Maybe if was painted red it would look better, that or paint some black Bad Moon clan designs on it. The other ork vehicle looks like a proper ork war machine, nice an ‘ard and lottsa of dakka’.
Will be very interesting to see the different paint jobs people go with.
Finntroll and Korpiklaani are awesome metal bands that fit perfectly for Orks.
stop press warzan desperate to get his nob out on the table.!!!
Justin have you seen No6 every cloud has a silver lining ?
Music for Speed Freeks – got to include Bad Habit by the Offspring!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wMa_t5cBgY
love orcs so love speed freaks
Regarding Nobz, rub them till they’re red. Red wunz go fasta!
should it not be knock the nob this week warzan ?
Da Nobz go Fasta by puttin nitrous in da Gasa
@warzan, @dignity could you orkify the space hulk terrain johns working on as a Speedfreaks track?
a brilliant show Guys.
Red ones go fasta? I lock my boyz in a library, so they’ll be well red!
Also, I have a sudden urge to model an ork on a bungee strapped to the back of a trukk, playing guitar 😛
The Let’s Play of speed freeks looks fun
The new ork buggies look great. Looking forward to the let’s play of Speedfreeks
Make a Orc go fast? Make sure it’s full of slick stuff for the moter and make sure it’s Red especially under the Hood.. also Squats and Chaos seem the best fit as far as other factions… Song going different I’m sure but Little old lady from Pasadena.
Not sure about fastest but it seems chaining an angry squig to your nob, like Kill Team’s Gitzog Wurldkilla, makes them the hardest.
The new ork vehicles look too clean need to slap some metal plates on those smooth sides
The game boards that can be made is nuts! The vehicle possibilities are endless too with scratch building, kit bashing and now 3D printers take it to a new level of customization.
The new ork vehicles look great and I’ve always loved the speedfreaks but for me the backbone of any ork army will always be boyz. At least a 100 of them. So I am a bit annoyed that they didnt take the chance to update that kit.
When dealing with nobz and speed I believe friction is a factor so oil that nob up.
Great interview for Albedo, I’ve found myself kinda taken with it after reading through the source material, looking at the models and hearing a rules overview. I was going to ask if the artist was involved, and I’d hoped so after 20+ years, Justin beat me to it and it’s a yes! Also wondered how the conversion kits might work with cadians, looks pretty good so I’ve ordered a few of the items on sale already. Honestly though I want a mouse army, it’s a ways away but a stretch goal is to add smaller framed troopers including mice. So…y’know…go and pledge. Ahem, for yourself of course! You deserve it 🙂
Looking forward to this game!
Awesome game – dig out the bits box!
Happy weekend one and all – never been massively into painting orks (love the lore, the stories etc but could never really takethem seriously in 40K…. perhaps thats the whole point…) but these new speed wagons have defintely piqued my NEEDS!! Battlestar Galactca…….. meh. I grew up on and loved the original series adn when the new BSG series was announced I was totally frothing at the mouth with excitement and then the show came and I couldnt stand it :/ Did absolutely nothing for me. One of the biggest sci-fi dissappointments ever for me.
The theme song for Ork Nobz = Big Balls by ACDC!
for me Bat out of hell…. a space marine on a pole just out reach…hmm carrot
To make yer nob go fasta, make sure his vehikul is all oiled up, stick da nob inside and make him hit it hard.
For Music I would like to add Benzin by Rammstein to the list:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0wK6s-6cbo
the best way of getting a ork to go faster is to stick a (red) rocket up its ar#e, and the song has to be bat out of hell.
I dunno about the BSG game. Could be fun, but the lack of variety is a potential concern. Funnily enough it would bother me less if it were more capital scale as there is more variety in battlestars.
This is not GorkaMorka, thanks be to both gods. Speed Freks appears to be more like Gaslands. I was not able to paint Goffs last time, perhaps I have more skill now. Bring it on.
It has to be Speed king by Deep Purple for me. Now find that one in the archive.
lol, next big winner. Speed Freaks is definitely a smaller release on the specialist game schedule, maybe not Gangs of Commorragh small, but a long ways from Kill Team.
If red ones go faster why is postman pats van so slow?
More cautious after he ran over his cat that time.
I don’t like picking on anyone, but the next weekender rally needs 2 counters overlaid on to it. One to track who many times Ben used the words, “really cool”, and one for how many times anyone else says it. I’ve noticed it before, but he seems to be saying it more than ever this week.
I had to go watch the playthrough, and I have to say, Speed Freeks looks really fun! I’ve never been an Ork player, never saw the appeal of the big brutes, but the mechanics and purpose of the game suits the Orks. I’m wondering how it would play out with the other races, and have trouble picturing it. Would Eldar try to ram their grav tanks into each other? Also, I’m liking the way GW are releasing boxed games, that can be ported over into their main game lines. Your kill team being an entry into starting a larger WH40K force. Your Ork vehicles being able to be used with your Ork force. Keep up the good work GW. You lost me for a couple of years (Why oh why did you stop supporting Mordheim), but you are drawing my attention once again.
Seen 3 playthoughs of Speed Freeks now, certainly looks fun
Speed Freeks looks really good, I am tempted!
A squid chariot would be great. A Gobo with a banjo playing the theme from Deliverance 🙂 Everyone knows that it will go faster if you paint it red!
great show 🙂
Another great show. I am Sooooo looking forward to seeing Battlestar Galactica at Essen. I’m pretty sure I heard the guys at Ares mention that the game can scale up to a hundred ships. They do tourney’s like that at Gen Con (maybe it was Origins) for their Sails of Glory game.
For good song for Speed Freak, I’ll have to go with Disturbed – Down with the Sickness
Great Episode.
I love the idea of making a speed freaks board!
I love the new models, but agree they don’t look “orky”. They look like they have rolled off a factory production line. Just doesn’t sit right with me that orks would be so organised!
How to make your Ork go faster? Easy, just fill him up with the right juice 😀
Best song for speed freaks: I actually would have gone with Fuel by Metallica myself, one of my all time favorites. But as this is already gone, I’m gonna pick another of my all time favorites by German Metal Band “Motorjesus” called “Motor Discipline”:

The soundtrack from Brutal Legend would absolutely work. Speaking of games no one else has played, I came home from kindergarten one day to find my dad and little brother playing Rock n’ Roll Racing on the SNES. It was my first console game and holds a special place in my heart. The playlist from that game is:
“Paranoid” by Black Sabbath
“The Peter Gunn Theme” by Henry Mancini
“Highway Star” by Deep Purple
“Radar Love” by Golden Earring (only in the Mega Drive/Genesis version)
“Born to Be Wild” by Steppenwolf
“Bad to the Bone” by George Thorogood

Well my name on BOW is orkboy…. do I need to say anything more? OK just in case the BOW (yay!)/youtube (BOOOOO!) algorithm doesn’t appreciate this orky wit without an explanation (I don’t know where I’m going with this I’ve drunk too much squig ale) my name is orkboy which relates to the boxed game speedfreeks…. come on gork n’ mork show pity on me and let me win this prize so I don’t have to spend my hard earned pound/dollar/yen/teef. xx (yes I copied and pasted this comment from youtube to double my chances, don’t judge me :))
Great show fellas!
Rite ur gunna need a colurd pens and papa for this to draw A reel gud car. It would have two blak wheels at the the back with lots of spikes for gud grip, a long shaft middle which is red {all fast tings ar red} and a purple coned front end for less friktion also purple is hard to see when it is coming up sum1s back end. Dis is a gud car for gettin your knob in da rite places and winin sum races!
Sounds like Speed Freeks would be my style of 40k
But I can’t believe no one has yet mentioned the old, original, Carmageddon PC game! Part race, part demolition derby, part murderous rampage!
And the perfect soundtrack to Speed Freeks for sure! No soft Humie singing!
https://youtu.be/MCF5jw_zhD8
https://youtu.be/6LltwSo54zo
https://youtu.be/QdpSLF_9sXs
Full OST :
https://youtu.be/tVVvIqbyhbI
Seriously, a 40k-ed version of this game on the tabletop would totally work! I’d do it!
How do ya make a Nob go fasta? A speshul blend of fungi, squid juice, rocket fuel. Mix it all up, gob down a gut full, an put da rest in da fuel tank! Dat’ll perk ya Nob right up, an give ya motor some real ooomph!
“No no, no, no no no, no, no no no, no no theres no limit!” Speed Waaagh music. Hoping for Snakebite speed squigs.
A good way so make your nobz go faster is to smear them in red flavoured ky jelly. As slippery nobz are fast nobz but we all now red slippery nobz are the fastest!
As for the music Ill go with take me out by reel big fish.
My speed freeks playlist, in no particular order…

How do you make an nob go faster – nail it to a trained racing snail. But don’t remove the shell – that will just make it more sluggish. 🙂
Time to paint my nob red to go faster….
Definitely interested in Speed Freeks. The Let’s Play helped.
Oh, gods! A speed freeks playlist? What a metal idea!
Loved the Speed Freaks Lets Play, i can feel my old resistance to GW waning! I did think the WWX Heavy Vaquero buggy would make for an awesome conversion!
the Ork kit bashing just got a huge hand up.
I’d love to get speed freeks to play with my 11yo daughter. She is a huge orks fan and the more I can encourage her the better. Rather expensive Xmas pressie though…
i have always loved Orks, well grots really, but by extension orks, never run an army of them though. this box set is the perfect opportunity to start collecting!
Speed Freaks Play list:
Dragula – Rob Zombie
More Speed Freeks songs
Heading Out to the Highway – Judas Priest
Jesus Built My Hotrod – Ministry
Red hot chilli farts will make any ork go faster!
I would like to see winners for giveaways be announced on the Weekender like it used too. I understand that you won’t for larger giveaways like Salute, UK Games Expo etc. But for like 2 boxes of something, can we please have the announcement back on the Weekender?
Perhaps not quite what you expect. But since all the obvious songs were already mentioned I think this one quite fits.

A good soundtrack for “speed freeks” would in my choice be “st. anger” from Metallica! more precisely “Frantic” yeah! If I have to choise another genre maybe the soundtrack from Matrix 2, the highway scene. They build a highway just for that scene 😀
Looks like the orks are getting orky again. They have seemed rather boring lately, but now they’re back.
It soundz like you want us to hit the BIG RED BUTTON to make Beasts of War go Fasta.
Albedo Combat Patrol it could be fun, specially since it sounds like I could use quite a bit of models of what I already have to start playing it. Got to start slowing down, Horrible to say I know, on getting new models to jump in to games since I am running out of room. And bills don’t seem to be getting cheaper.
Have as much fun as you can at Essen everyone working!
Totally need this for my daughter. Ork codex next!
Great video as always, Speed Freeks sounds a lot of fun as a grand prix event xD
