New Orks, a smile to a weary green face. Cant wait to see them in all the morky glory.

it also seems probable to me that they would make the max transport capacity for the trukk only 10 boys which would be more in line with other transports. Although I really had hoped that they would go the other way with that and bump it to 15 boys rather than drop it to ten. Maybe we got lucky and they dropped the points or added some war gear on the trukk as compensation? Only time will tell. Still I have always found it silly that shoota boys could not take a nob with a combi shoota so I will be happy if this is true.

Not sure about that Gorkanaut. I can't see how it's meant to actually move, unless there's a set of wheels under the front plate or something. Hopefully it will look better from different angles.

Not too optimistic about it's rules. Even if it's a super-heavy walker, how is it going to compete with the stompa? I'd rather have all my hull points and meks in one big block so it's really difficult to take them out in one turn. Something with six or so hull points will be too easy to knock out, so unless it's really cheap I don't see much advantage to it. That gun looks like it's going to have loads of low-strength shots, which is exactly what orks don't need any more of.

Hopefully the other variant will offer something new. A decent force field or some kind of anti-tank gun would be very welcome.

Which would be yet another un-needed kick in the nuts.

Do the orks need to go with the decimal system?

The Eldar still have capacity 6 and 12 transports.

It would mean that you couldn't give an IC a ride in a trukk, if true, which would tick me off.

I'd field that just for the comedic value.

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

HEll YEah !!!

I had not intention of fielding demons, I just don't like them in 40K, but SUPA 'UGE ORKS instead of a greater demon would be awesome.

Many of us are planning on making Warlord Tuska models.

I've been out of the game too long. I don't know who Warlord Tuska is.

http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Tuska

Since the whole Daemonology for Orks thing came I've been seeing him as our Draigo.

He's mentioned in the current (ancient) ork codex, and the new daemons codex also.

Badass warboss who led his waaagh into the eye of terror. He's still there, in orky nirvana.

He and his troops were favoured by khorne for their badassishness, so they fight, die and then respawn to do it all over again

Thank you for sharing that.

He sounds awesome, and I understand why people are thinking of doing Tuska now.

I think I may join that WAAAAGH !!!

Yeah, I'm taking the new rumours with a big bag of salt. Deepstrike for Mega Armour? It's not termie armour, I can see them DS via tellyportas from a Big Mek invention or Warlord Trait but not from the armour itself.

This is without mentioning the very unlikely separation of Grotz and Gretchin which I think has no fluff-basis for being different, I always thought they were synonymous.

ever read heinlein's 'starship troopers'?
nobz shot from orbit via a bfg...
'hold yer breff, boyz!'
not too hard to imagine, really.

That's what Roks are for, why throw a handful of Meganobz when you can just throw them and a few million Orks in as well? And roks make sense since they can actually cause more damage and protect its occupants from the impact due to to large force field arrays set up inside.

Hey I feel like this is sort of related but I've got the 7th ed book and I was looking through it, and I notice the ork pages in the background book with this image which looked off to me for ages and I know why, it's a mek in mega armour with a kustom force field on the back. Is it possible hint?

Yup. There's a model on the way with mega armour and KFF, seems we may be able to take both.

I saw that last night and went into ecstatic shock. Somehow forgot to post about it

ZOMG, 2+ armour AND giving off a 5+ cover (potentially 5+ invuln. in the next book) save? Sweet Mork that would be bootiful. I am crying green tears of WAAAGHness if this is true.

The claw in the picture fits for the new model, but not the head.

Squidbot...

Referring to your knowledge.

There was a rumor about Grot HQ. Could you comment on this speculation please?

Thanks.

Cheers

Guessing the head is bare with no helm?

Nothing I have seen indicates anything of that kind (Unfortunately). New normal Grots that look to be parts of other kits.

Sort of. Not a full iron gob, and less of a helm, more a cybork skull.

With "Ignores Cover" being so rampant I'll be highly disappointed if it doesn't give an invulnerable save.

As for heads on models, unless he's a clamshell on his own I'd hold out the possibility of alternate heads in a kit. Then again it's not like they can't offer a couple different heads in a clamshell either.

Indeed, lord knows that our walkers need it badly, it would make the Kustom Meka-Dread all that more sexy. The heads don't matter that much to me so long as the space for it is at least nob-sized (which it should be) since we have a wonderful selection of Orky headz we can kitbash or 3rd party ones like Kromlech's.

Haven't anyone seen the new box up in the right corner, what looks like, lets guess, meganobs? It must be a new box anyway, since they haven't used bad moons' colors before. Sorry if this has been commented on.

It looks like a box of wolf guard as GW do not do backgrounds for boxes anymore now..

Oh, you're right. I saw, I registered, I failed. Carry on!

Welcome though

Combining mega-armour and the KFF is nice, but what would be even better is being able to combine one of them (or better yet, both of them) with a warbike.

This is the 7e Ork chapter.

This might be the Ork codex cover photo

Then the Marines will want Jump Terminators and Bike Terminators to match. No thanks.

This is PURELY speculation, but given that the new model is evidently called a Gorkanaut, maybe it will be able to deep strike? It could be an orky walking drop pod. That's nothing but speculation, based on astronaut/Gorkanaut, but it would give orks a new deployment option, and give them something weird.

Well, a deep striking walker with transport capacity would solve two of the major problems with the army right now. Getting walkers across the board and getting infantry across the board.
