Maybe it's the combination of yellow paintjob and angular shapes, but it looks less "scraptech" and more "industrial machinery" than current ork designs.

At 85€, though, it'll be long until my Evil Sunz press one into service.

My Dreadknight next to some of my boys for comparison.

Spoiler:

Oh yea, its going to be a super heavy walker. 95%+ chance. 7th edition says the lords of War are in the factions own codex now.

Well has to bridge some gap between a stompa and a Deff dread, does it look like the front opens up? Transport?

Yup.

I reckon this is our IK.

**Da krimson barun**

Wait.....none Goff or evil sunz?Even though I play evil sunz its a zoggin miracle!And Orkz are going to loot white dwarf weekly.(I still can't call It just white dwarf.I just can't.)

**Mr. Grey**

That gatling cannon arm is serious DAKKA - and from what I can tell, it doesn't look very orky... Going to have to see more images before I can make up my mind, so far I'm a little wary of the Big New Thing. But hey, new orks! And Bad Moon colors!

**SJM**

Bit of a mixed response haha, I think it looks awesome.

NEW STUFF!

**Squidbot**

I love it.
Would be nice if there was a second, different, configuration for it. Gorkanaught and Morkanaught

**Breotan**

Too soon for me to decide. On the down side, it's really boxy and that's not what Orks look like. On the plus side, the arms and legs look very much like the Deff Dread ones and I wonder how compatible/swappable they would be.

Still, I'd rather have an updated Buggy kit instead.

**Rubs**

The name is fitting.... beautiful

I hope its not a lord of war, I want to buy multiple of these

The fact that Orks are listed as having the Force, and the two new demon psyhic disciplines is interesting.

On the one hand, I've never been a fan of Weirdboyz in the Ork fluff. I like the machines, and the dakka, and the WAAAAGGH! So I'm not excited if Weirdboyz become an auto-include unit in any Ork list.

On the other hand, Orks with Force Weapons would be very interesting.

On the other other hand... I don't understand from a fluff perspective how or why Orks would be summoning demons. It seems like Biomancy, Telekenesis, and Pyromancy would be obvious disciplines to give to the Orks. But I'm going to assume GW doesn't think those powers have enough potential to "go wrong" in Orky ways... so they'll give us an Ork discipline filled with powers that have significant drawbacks to casting them, on top of the normal drawbacks of Perils.

Part of me is really looking forward to Orks getting a new book. The other part of me is really dreading what they might do.

Oh well, at least I've been having fun with my Eldar this past year.

Bro, I say this as a Khorne *and* Ork player, so should have the minimal difficulty including daemons in my force...

Your summoned 'daemons' can just be Orks, using counts-as.

Edit: Also that new walker looks a bit stupid imo, still excited though because I can totally just build my own.

Maybe it will be something for all those 'looted imperial knights' out there to counts-as?

And feth yes, superheavies in vanilla is just pure sex for Orks

There is a Khorne Stormboy model from the 90s.

I'd say Orks would worship Khorne if they chose too.

Bad Moonz!

I'll take one

So what is everyone thinking about this thing?

The Deff Dread stays more or less the same and this thing is a AV13 4HP walker, or perhaps even a super-heavy walker? I feel that would be the most likely outcome.

Or it could be a MC

av13 would be nice, whatever it is. i always found the lack of decent armor value on codex ork vehicles kinda sad. as far as what it actually is, i forget, is a gargant bigger or smaller than a stompa? whichever it is, maybe this fills the gap between the deff dred and the stompa.

**Breotan**

Not looking so good for the Ork rumor mongers. I think the only one who mentioned the preggers deff dread was Kroot.

**Tannhauser42**

Looks to be an Ork equivalent to the Imperial Knight. Doesn't look right to me, though. I'll have to wait for more and better pictures to truly judge it, though.

**Grimskul**

Looks good to me so far. Loving the Orky gatling gun. I'm pretty sure once we get some better pics (and better paintjobs) that it will show off in a better light. Just happy to finally see some solid evidence of Orks getting a long-overdue update.

Also, can we assume that since all the finecast models on the website are "sold out" that those are the ones getting the rekits?

IE, Grot Guns, Ghaz,, Grotsnik, Snikrot, Big Mek, Weirdboy, Tankbustas, Zagstruk and Kommandos are all sold out, though that is probably me just hoping again

Gretchin Big Gunz have had a full redesign. Much bigger.
Ghaz, Snikrot and Kommandos aren't sold out. ANd I don't think they're getting redone.

What, no pic of the Ork Gorkanaut here yet? Somebody is slipping, LOL.

Check the last page...

**Squidbot**

Yes, you. Go back a few pages.

**TedNugent**

Oh God, that thing is ugly. I hope I don't have to use it.

uhm... what kind of babies would a dread have?
mekka-snots?

but seriously... a walker as a transport... gooood idea, that!
except it wouldn't be open-topped, so unless they attach the 'assault vehicle' rule to it, the ladz can't just get to killing once they climb out...

**Dakkafang Dreggrim**

I love the ork dredds and kans. So far thing thing will be a great addition. Luckily we play orks, so chopping stuff up to make it better is what we do =)

**SJM**

Cant wait for more pics, still think it looks great so far.

I really hope that was intended as sarcasm, otherwise....

**TedNugent**

It's like a trashcan robot drenched in pee.

Edit, reminds me:

Add some robot arms and yellow paintjob

I've done it!

**morpheuschild**

hahahaha! hell yeah! i'd field that any day!
'gork's (or mork's) drops of doom'...

**MeanGreenStompa**

I'm not overly moved by what I'm seeing, but I've learnt that I really need to wait and see with GW's releases. So, I'm going to wait for some other angles and different paint schemes.

Also if I still don't like it, I'll build my own or wait for Kromlech to produce something viable.

Plastic I assume, and three to a box? That sounds nice. Here's hoping zzap guns get changed (buffed).
