Wave contents:

Ork buggy/half track Dakka/skorcha/rokket plastic (3x box) priced like Necron wraiths Deffcopters all options plastic (3x box) priced like Terminators Meganobs all options plastic (5x box) priced like terminators Flashgits upgrade finecast (3x clamshell) priced like boneswords Cybork upgrade finecast (3x clamshell) priced like boneswords

Cheers

I know a lot of Ork players who will be pleased. Particularly by the meganobs and deffkoptas.

3 non walker vehicles in a box? That sounds kinda hard to believe. But yea those buggies are WAY overdue for a revamp

Also plastic Meganobz are also a nice plastic completion, even if no one uses them compared to totally-awesome-in-any-list nobz

Upgrade packs sound interesting. Though I guess they're GW direct only and flash git wise theres already a ton of ways to make them (via both GW and 3rd party anyways)

Makes sense; without AoBR, how else are folks going to get their deffcoptas?

Plus theres technically no official option for Twin Linked Shootas and Buzzsaws

Although at termie price for 3 you probably wont be seeing too many of them used in 5 man squads

I guess theres now going to be a mad dash to get the old ones to stock up on bulk too

I'm assuming that the Warbuggy/Wartrakk/Skorcha release will be GW finally producing this bad boy seen a few years ago:

Sweet I'm looking forward to these.

Damn, if this happens I don't think I could avoid buying them. I've been waiting for Plastic MANz for ever.

Spring 2013? D'oh!

Hell yeah. About time I can actually buy some MANZ. I'll never buy that overpriced crapcast MANZ

please tell me what a MANZ is.

Chances are this rumor is bullshizzle but who knows, every edition means a brand spankin new SM codex and an Ork codex to go with it.

Orks didn't get a new Codex in 5th.



Anyway, this is:

1. Stickmonkey.
2. News of a 'wave' right after we've been told there would be no more waves.


But, if true, that would be it for the Orks right? Aside from the odd special character they'd have every unit from their Codex either in plastic or updated?

making the assumption that newer codex's will begin to shift towards forgeworld stuff, (why not, try to sell more of it) I could see a new codex with little more than updated rules, grot tanks, mega dreads, flyers, and current stuff.

I don't understand GW's strategy at releasing models years later. It was bad enough to see Thunderwolves after so many alternatives have sprung up.

Now they are releasing models for an even OLDER codex. I guess the only thing good out of it could mean we might see a new Ork dex on the horizon.

I believe this heralds a new orks codex for early 2013, they've not had once since 4th.

And, just consult the old Waaagh the Orks, Freebooters and 'Ere we go! books for ideas for new units.


...Annnnd, if Gork and Mork are willing, please lets see a return to the Clans!

Don't forget the metal Grot gun Batteries.

and return of looted anything

Seems like wishlisting (although I'm not convinced we've seen the end of 'wave' releases). It's not impossible though - the Bommer kit shows that GW are happy to crank out Ork kits (and good ones too). If it was a full-blown wishlist, there would also be a multi-part plastic Warboss.

Assuming there is a new Warbuggy kit in the works, it could be based on the design that appears in IA-8. FW didn't do a model of it.

Grimgob wrote:Don't forget the metal Grot gun Batteries.

Ah! Yes. That's the one thing I did forget.

So one thing left to 'revise'.

Just selfishly hope there are no plastic grot tanks!! 8 are enough!

Rl buggies would not be the first multi model vehicle box GW has released. I'm thinking of the Kans they released for the orks last year.

BTW. i am all about mega nobs and the ork buggies if this rumor proves ot be true.

Aye, My Ork forces will explode over 8K if this is accurate, a couple of squads of Mega Nobz with new transport vehicles, and a gak load of buggies.

Every time i think i'm done collecting my Orks..

First new Kanz and Dreads

Then new Bommas

Now redone buggies (i just have to get a few ...dozen ) and Manz (i have 30 already, but they'll likely look like gak compared to the new ones )...

My bank account will never recover

I can't imagine boxes of 3 Buggies or boxes of 3 Deffkoptas, and being priced the same as Terminators.

Those models should be in Venom/Spyder territory more likely.

Plastic Mega Armoured Nobz would be very welcome though

If the can do it with Kans, they can do it with buggies and whatnots. Here's hoping that the buggies will look like the IA8 designs.

TBD wrote:Those models should be in Venom/Spyder territory more likely.

What makes you say that?

I hope you are right, but they also could have given us 3 (perhaps slightly smaller) Spyders in one box just like the Wraiths (who appear bigger than they actually are). Or 3 Venoms. Or 3 IG Sentinels (who basically compare to the Kanz)...

And they are talking about spring 2013. Pricing trends seem to be moving upwards instead of down.








Btw, H.B.M.C. sticking up for GW??

What can I say, I... really like Orks, and I want them to have a full suite of models, and not these decade old hand-me-downs like the Buggies and so-called Deffkopta that they currently have.

I'd love to see that, but that really seems like whishlisting. It pretty much all what ork player are asking for.

The Spyder took everyone by surprise. Not Dread-sized, and not 3 to a box. Venoms are Vyper-sized, so them by themselves made sense. They're like Land Speeders and whatnot. Sentinels were released a long time ago. If redone (which I doubt they would be) I could see them being placed in boxes like Kanz.
