Ork bottle opener available next week

[CL_Mission]

Sunday Preview

The preview focuses mostly on the excellent new models for Flesh Eater Courts but down near the bottom they show this neat Ork themed bottle opener. Not something amazing but I know a couple of people this will make a good gift for. No pre-order so I guess it's available immediately from next Saturday. Two new models being previewed next week, I'm guessing Necromunda or Old World for Monday and HH on Thursday.

I think this has been available on merchoid for quite awhile

Looking at the “in use” picture in the bottom corner, it appears to be very small. As cool as this looks, I think this falls under “novelty” than useful.

So it is and looking at the price of it there I'm rethinking my "good gift" comment, it's a nice idea but £15 is too much for what it is.

Wonder if they could do one for a bolter, like use the hand grip as the hook and the sickle magazine as the "rest" portion

I thought it was going to be an Ork face, sorta like this Dredd Bottle opener.

 

 

Honestly, it looks like a bad bottle opener. The leverage is too short and it's quite narrow. It would be hard to get purchase on the bottlecap and might just deform it rather than taking it off. The Axe head looks like it would get caught in your pocket.

Do bottle openers need to be big?

I'd be more worried about how strong it is. Some cheap bottle openers I've used just grind down or break apart.

They don't have to be massive, but I can't help but think that it's only big enough to use between my thumb and index finger. At least if it were a bit longer you could get some fingers between the bottle and the opener and it would be a better motion to open. At least, that's they way I see it.

40k Macro is the norm

Surely an Ork bottle opener is just a rock?

[Marshal Reinhard]

Or maybe some teef, or would that just be bad moonz?

I mean pretty much anything can be a bottle opener. Table, lighter, long hair, teeth. 

 

And for orks it looks like literally everything within arms reach could be one

 

But yeah, looks neat. I've just been burnt before with bottle openers that grind down over time, kinda defeating the purpose of them.

Most drinks are cans and twist tops these days anyway.

Pro drinker here, it's not wide enough, too sharp and can slip with that design. If you lift, you are better off using your swole forearms or the edge of a table instead of this fish hook to open bottles.
