Good man is threw me right away when we started talking plastics so much of GW's history is kids time as Citadel Miniatures and spin casting metals not plastic kits as the tooling was prohibitively expensive for many years.
I still have a couple Ork Trukks from 1998. I'm thinking of converting them into something nice. Maybe strap a rhino to the back of one and calling it a Battlewagon. I also have the parts for a '99 Killa Kan and I have to say building with metal models is absolute ass. You think finecast is bad? This is every reason it sucks, amplified twice over. Fun fact: back in 3rd edition, pretty much every model that wasn't a trukk or 10 boyz (no free nob with that, btw) were metal. Green Tide was never a good strat back then but it's the way I went because it was the only thing I could reasonably build.
Oh, those Kommandos from 4th edition! Never had orks army (because was FB player for long time), but bought Orks Codex 2006 in 2010 and read it mant times! Even their green color from 4th edition is something sprecial. Modern orks look more anatomically correct, I think, older are dumber but meaner! And Gazgkhull from 1992... Chaos dwarfs definitely dream of such a slave. He is designed exactly in style of 1993 gw miniatures in which those black-bearded guys from FB are well known to us all.
Every kit is an ork kit, even a $5 monster truck from the dollar store can be an Ork battlewagon in fact that's what I have done!
Ork kitbashes are always the best. The messier the better!
I loved old space orks as a kid. Intense stuff on the ghazghkull banner. Hoping for GSC models next :)
Cool deep dive into the Orks range
Thank you! They’ve got some crazy models that I’m sure I missed but I like being able to compare new to old
Only the 2020 model for Ghaz is plastic, the others were white metal, pewter or whatever alloy GW was using at the time.

Yeah I realized that once I was editing the video, thanks for catching it!
Dude amazing work! Loved it
Thank you!
Seeing this, I’d like to imagine that all the ghazghkulls are a chronological evolution of the very same ork
That second ghazghkul must’ve inspired the leader of the Orks in space marine 1

Wow I do not envy the early ork collectors. Everything about working with metal seems like a huge pain
