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 π fantastic prizes as always – and what a great show – luv the weekender #1 showο»Ώ
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! π
Speedfreak – did MotΓΆrhead 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.

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 ! π
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.ο»Ώ

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 strappinβ a rokkit to dere bonce and play Dβya 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 π
Don’t forget the song from convoy π 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

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 π
Fantastic weekender as always π 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.
