It isn't a super heavy - but it has 5 HP

Grot riggers 20 pts...

It does have a KFF which could alleviate your dependence on Big Mek lists.

One thing everyone should keep in mind is that this is a maximum of 6" movement speed each turn if you want to keep shooting all those glorious weapons.

Those look like mega nobs. They new?

My God... painted red... jaw is on the flooor!

AV13 and 5hullpoints, awesome!

Gotta have two, I'm thinking...

Wonder what the base points are? 200pts ea?

How many points is it and weapon options please?

That is what I feared with grot riggers. They were a steal for a chance to remove immobilized... They might not be worth it now. (Anyone know the 7th ed rules for it will not die?)

...general shape looks familiar, but also I can see lots of new bits on them

I think these are totally new.

I am officially hyped...

Let me just add: if the KFF is 50 points, they better have made improvements to the rules (like invul. save instead of cover).

AV13 walker with semi-decent guns and AP1 close combat weapon;
Nearest equivalent I can find is an ironclad dreadnought which start at 135ish points.

This thing has 2 more HP, another base attack, significantly more guns and transport capability, meaning it's going to be close to twice as expensive. 200 sounds like a decent starting point. IMO, but I wouldn't be surprised at 250 or 130 knowing GW's trend of pricing new units completely randomly.

Looks like they are new, and it looks like they have bosspoles..

5+ for HP restored

Yes, those are the new Meganobz.

Yep they look like new Meganobs to me. An idea on the points cost would be nice.

What a difference a day makes.

Red one looks totally better than the yellow one they put on the cover.

Question: It says the Morkanaut's transport capability is "6 models" - maybe that means it could carry 6 mega-nobz? Or do mega-nobz still count as two models each for transports?

oh my gork (or mork)!!!!

take my money geedub!!! take it all!

We will have to wait and see if the new codex lists them as bulky or very bulky models.

Sucks that it's only a transport walker, but I'm loving all the new pictures and stats! I like the look of it, even the giant feet. they're right stompy! Plus the MANZ in the above pic, this looks like a deliciously Orky month.

Looking at the lore side of it, I think they'll still fit in with everything else we have, and it doesn't feel like much has been changed. It looks like they'll have some sort of special rules reading it.

[EDIT] Got this from 4chan, looks like they might be similar to an Imperial Knight, but also possible they put the Knight farther back to make it look like they're similar.

No special rules for that things. Assault vehicle would be nice.

Looks a lot better red.

I want to be able to pluck Heldrakes out of the sky with that klaw.

Looking forward to a walking ork hoard of Kans, stompa, deff dreads and these new walkers. Very excited for this new codex. Mega Nobs looking very nice as well.

Neither open topped or assault vehicle, so your 6 orks have to get out and stand around for a turn before getting to charge anything. Frankly, I think it's transport capability might really just be a novelty at this point. It doesn't move any faster than the models themselves do, and assuming Mega still count as Bulky you're looking at 3 models max.

Really, really underwhelming, honestly. Tough as nails with those armor and hull point values, but as a transport? Not seeing it from what (little) we've seen so far.

Rehosted because eventually that /tg/ one will go away:

I'm waiting to see if there are any changes to the KFF. That may make a huge difference to this thing.

Finally! Everything is looking up for Orks. Can't wait to get all the new models. Especially the Big Gunz.

Spoiler:

Replaced /tg/ image with yours, good call!

Those new MANZ look absolutely lovely, and dead killy!

Love it!! LOVE it!

Only bit im not 100% is the KFF, looks a bit just stuck on as an after thought, wonder what that random ork boy is doing standing on top of it

Well that's the Mega Nobs pinned in too.

A good day for orks!

Would a small unit of Meks work well in one? With the changes to the Vehicle Damage Chart fixing up Hull Points should be very useful.

5HP, Grot riggers for IWND, a KFF and some meks on the inside make it quite survivable, and 4 S10 attacks are nothing to laugh at. Still, I'm not sold on that thing quite yet. My Evil Sunz heart favors wheels and tracks over legs and pistons.

By the way, anyone else noticed the strange turret on that Battlewagon right of the Morkanaut?

It looks really nice. Just hope it isn't super overpriced. Would be nice to run it with some MANZ in it or some burnas.
