Warhammer 40K is returning to Armageddon, with a famed Ork warlord on a bike leading the charge. At Adepticon's Warhammer Preview show last night, Games Workshop revealed a new miniature for Wazdakka Gutsmek, a famed Bikeboss that somehow has never gotten a miniature before in the game. The figure shows Gutsmek riding his Big Revva bike, which is adorned with weaponry and the skulls of his fallen foes.
Gutsmek was first mentioned in the 2nd Edition Ork codex as a lone wolf Ork Bikerz. Rumor is that Gutsmek never leaves his seat, save to make repairs on his bike, and stays awake using a cocktail of drugs. Gutsmek most notably took down a Warlord Titan down during the Siege of Scalex VI, taking the skulls of its crew as trophies for his bike. His ultimate goal is to traverse the galaxy on his bike, although Armageddon seems to have thrown a wrench in his plans.
The new Ork miniature is one of several set to be released around a planned return to Armageddon. A new narrative campaign book featuring Gutsmek and the famed commisar Yarrick will be released later this spring.
