The more I think about it, the more a kombi-kit Wartrakk/Wazdakka/Bossbiker seems reasonable.

Buggies are more likely to be coupled with deffcoptas, which would be totally awesome (spare wheels! Spare wheels for everyone!!!11).

Grotsnik will not be canned, he's got a modell. They won't remove that. Worst that can happen is putting him into a supplement.

Tank bustas and Commandoz will probably get a combi-kit as both need a new one.

I guess there will be some sort of alternative Meganob you can build from the kit. Maybe Meganobs becoming more dedicated CC and flashgitz retconned to some sort of megaarmoured ranged unit... though I'd rather keep them as regular nobz.

Couple of characters canned. Zogwort most likely, then wazdakka and grotsnik.

Grotznik is about as likely to be canned as Ghazghkull Thrakka.

I want them to add Roks as a dedicated transport like a drop pod.

I hope they don't because I wanted to quit buying GW toys. However if they did, I'd have to buy three because it's the only thing my orks don't have that I want.

Well, I think that roks should be rather easy to kitbash, so technically you can get them while refraining from buying minis, unless you attend stiff tournaments and whatnot.

That said, something tells me that we won't probably get roks exactly because pretty much anything with any random bits attached can pass for a rokk... Unless GW decides that they can bash less busy molds into a single line and make some absolutely awesome roks out of that, bonus points for capability to pass for terrain.

Well, I dunno...

I am sure they will pop back up when the new codex releases. They are probably not selling too many ork anythings from a codex that is from 08...

As above, orky slap-things-together mindset of ork players probably have something to do with sales of their vechicles, some of them at least.

Ugh.

I'm not too worried about Zogwort; most of the recent releases have had a couple of single frame plastic characters and given that there is already a generic weird boy, he seems like an ideal candidate for one of those.

Now that I finally own 27 Lootaz, im waiting for the nerf bat to swing...

Lets see Shootaz go back to Rapid Fire or something....

What I hope they would implement are Bonuses to certain charge rolls, like double six gives you rending or something...

Or Warbosses gain additional attacks for each wound they lose. There is so much potential here. I'm really afraid...

I saw a early rumor about giving lootas the get hot rule. I'd have to shelve them at that point as every time they'd fire I'd lose more models than what I shot at.

we might be able to run, then charge again, plus 7th ed rumors had some weird changes to the charging rules.

I'd really just love to see out KFF meks start handing out invuln saves, as cover saves don't seem to matter anymore.

Does anyone else feel like we should be just days or weeks away from the first real leaks on Orks? I mean, either that, or leaks on something else that isn't Orks, and proves that Orks aren't coming till fall, or later. (Please god no.)

No... everyone expected fantasy for may. Orks are due in June. We should mos definitely be weeks or days away from real news about either orks, 7th, or BA...

Besides no one cares about wood elves... Orks will sell 10x the money that WE do...

Time to dust off the old speed freaks.

Anyone notice that FW took the Ork Battle Fortress off their site...

Probably because they finally sold the last one of those ugly things. A couple of very old models have disappeared over the last years, leaving only the popular ones behind.

Or a possible updated model to take it's spot as the new dex, and IA8V2 possibly drops...

My guess is that we'll see the first teaser items for orks in the mid-May White Dwarf, meaning the one that releases in the 3rd week of the month.

Marbo is also a really old model, still sold in metal not Finecast.

How old is the MDG sculpt? They may have switched him to finecast, but he still looks like an escapee from second edition.

It's probably just as old as Marbo, but things that got switched from metal to Finecast/resin is a pretty good suggestion as to which models they intended on "keeping".

ugggh Grotsnick is such a cool character with such a bad model. I would love to have him lead my army but not with a model as terrible as that....

He'll be back, with a warlord trait that forces all models in the army to move towards the closest enemy as fast as possible

When's the last time someone brought up a legit rumor? This post turned in a wishful thinking proposed rules post a million days ago. Let's kill this thing and start a rumors thread again.

So, with Wood Elves coming out May, does that mean we are going to have to wait till July at the earliest to even get a hint of what is going on with Orks?

If memory serves, he's 3rd ed. Not sure if he was in the initial Codex wave or what came out later for Codex Armageddon, but he defo dates back to that period with likes of Ghazzy, the Bosses & MANz.

Dude, have you seen Badrukk? That's rogue trader style right there... Sweet mercifull Nurgle, I hope he gets a new modell, the old one makes me cry green blood.

I need yur choppa an yur slugga, yer license is 'ereby revoked!


Seriously, that model is amazing and fairly recent. What on earth could you find about this sculpt that's bad???

I don't like it either. It is too comic for my taste. Maybe it is the silly hat or the back plate or both, but he in no way fits the feel of the rest of the new orks.

I think its brilliant, paints up really nice.

No, we'll probably get hints mid-May or at the end of the WE releases.

Are we likely to get ork half track with flack gun ??? any more rumours

No, there are no (credible) rumours, apart from 'orks are coming soon, probably June'. That's literally the only thing in this entire thread which I think is better than guesswork.

Last time we actually had any rumours which turned out to be accurate from a proper 'inside source' was... space marine centurions, back in november maybe? GW seem to have finally got their leaks under control.

An ork half-track with a flack gun seems as likely as anything else, I guess. I'd bet we are going to get something with an anti-aircraft gun, simply because everyone who already had flyers has been given one instead of a new flyer in their 6th edition codex.
