Video games Workshop has revealed Da Pink Gobbo 2024. The tabletop writer has a convention of releasing Christmas novelty miniatures for Warhammer 40,000, and this yr’s miniature continues it proudly, sporting a purple coat and a snowman with a lethal shock.
Da Pink Gobbo 2024 Announcement
In an official Warhammer-Neighborhood put up, Video games Workshop reveals off images and options of Da Pink Gobbo 2024. Known as the A-Bomb-inable Snowman, the miniature, a lot like final yr’s, is a gretchin unit for the Ork military.
Because the title implies, the miniature depicts a gobbo in a purple coat, a smaller gobbo in an elf outfit, and a contented wanting snowman sporting the Goff Rocker’s prime hat.
That snowman accommodates a shock. You’ll be able to pop the snowman’s head off, revealing the snowman’s physique is constructed round a big bomb. This harmful mischief is compounded with a pile of snowballs subsequent to the gobbos. Snowballs which might be barely concealing what look like dwell grenades.
Da Pink Gobbo 2024 is a good continuation of the Ork’s farcical nature on the planet of Warhammer 40,000. The grimdark sci-fi setting is usually characterised by the grim and grotesque. Interdimensional demons, torturous dying cults, fascistic authoritarian states enforced by non secular zealots.
In contrast, the Orks are inherently absurd creatures. Battle-obsessed meathead warriors whose simplistic reductive perspective, referred to by the followers as “Ork logic,” can subtly break bodily actuality.
Battle autos can drive by way of a warzone regardless of having no engine or gasoline. Weapons that fireside lots of of rounds regardless of being simply twisted items of metallic. An enormous hunk of area junk turns into space-worthy as a result of Orks drew purple spikes on them. The record goes on.
In that context, a gretchin unit displaying up with snowball grenades and an explosive snowman is absurd, however does stay in step with the lore of the setting and its maximalist design sensibilities.
