So Imperial Armor 8 - Raid on Kastorel-Novem was just released by Forge World. Here's a little blurb from their site;

Waaagh! Garaghak is gathering pace across the Forsarr sector. Several of the Imperium¹s worlds have already fallen to the rising green tide of Orks, and now the sector¹s primary hive world has been invaded. Garaghak¹s hordes seem unstoppable, except that the Raven Guard¹s Scouts have discovered a secret behind the Goff Warlord¹s unending warbands ­ - an Ork technical genius called Mek Boss Buzzgob who has created his own factories on the former Imperial refinery world in the Kastorel system.

This book contains a detailed history of the Raid on Kastorel-Novem and the rise of Warlord Garaghak. There is a complete Elysian Drop Troop Imperial Guard army list, including the Vulture gunship, Valkyrie Sky Talon and the Tauros and Tauros Venator rapid assault vehicles. There is also background information on the Raven Guard Space Marine Chapter, along with a new special character, Shadow Captain Korvydae. Rules, background and technical details are included for all of the recent Forge World Ork releases.

This book is heavily illustrated with over 50 colour pictures, 60 full colour vehicle profiles, over 30 technical drawings, plus colour profiles for the Elysian Drop Troops, Raven Guard and the Orks of the Goff, Evil Sunz and Death Skullz clans, all to add new depth and detail to the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

Also included in this book is a folded copy of an A1 Ork poster featuring artwork by Paul Bonner, Sam Lamont and Kenton Mills

While I've never played any of the Forge World campaigns, I have read them and I think they are pretty good. It's also good to see something that's not in powered armor getting some love.
Forge World is about to release 2 new kits for the Orks, the 'Chinork' Big Copta and Ork Battlewagon with Lifta Dropper (it's droppa btw, GW spelled it wrong) due out may 26th. These things are pretty awesome, check them out.

I saw the Chinork in a FW newsletter on sunday, and have been drooling over it ever since.  The big gun on the wagon looks killer, though I would have beefed up the turret alot more.  It looks like the deadline beat the developers to the finish line on this one.

I'm still for plasticard and scratch built ork vehicles, but this is good eye candy.
