So Orks get Terminator armor now? So OP....

That is a meganob right?

Can GW stop pretending now and just let fantasy rest in peace?

Looking through what may be "Last Chance To Buy" very soon Ruglud's Armoured Orcs seem like a prime candidate as well as some of the finecast characters such as Azhag, Gorbad Ironclaw, Skarsnik and Grimgor Ironhide. I guess there is always the chance that they will keep some around as generic Orruk characters.

This is a relief in one sense - the size Stormcast (or should I say scale?) demands larger Orruk models, if they are to look threatening.

Thraxas - I'd bet they'll keep the Savage Orcs line, as it's very aesthetically unique from these (and also fairly new). But you're right, the armored orcs could be in a bit of jeopardy... I really love the old black orc kit so will be keeping an eye on that.

That said I'm warming up to these new ones and interested to see less blurry pics. It's more obvious than ever that each race will have a new aesthetic that doesn't match the old, so I feel a bit for folks who re-based to the new ruleset when any new releases aren't going to match their army.

It's obviously understandable from a business point of view, and maybe will prompt more folks who don't want to update the look of their armies to the new aesthetic over to Kings of War, which I'm hoping will continue to gain steam as the "traditional fantasy" ruleset, while AoS charts new ground and brings in new players who weren't interested in fantasy.

They're orcs? Green tide has been used to describe orcs/Orks in GW stuff for a long time, no matter what colour their armour is.

But the picture is of a yellow mass? Whats green about it?

Space Marines - the flesh coloured horde. Under the armour.

You do, enough to reply, obviously!

I've a good mind to call trade descriptions. Its no wonder GW is in the state its in, false advertising like that.

No it isn't.

But that's all irrelevant and off topic anyway, so we'll drop this tangent now.

Further posts on this tangent will be treated as spam.

wow, I like the look of these. Can't wait to see actual pictures of them, not these 8bit images!

I've never been interested in orcs in any game, but that Maw Crusha looks great.

Those look a bit like 2nd ed Mega/Power Armor.

Eagerly awaiting proper pics of the Maw Crusha.

I want to see the baseline Ironjaw orc statlines and model kits.

I'm definitely going to be grabbing this White Dwarf.

Since I'm assuming a cull of orc models is now due, I may pick up some of the characters and unusual stuff just incase.

Got my snotlings sorted out and a supply of them, but lacking characters and weird and wonderful units.

I need to create a mould for Grimgork's head. I hope I can get the one of my metal one off instead of having to buy a Finecast one from Last Chance.

And I want to see those damn Orcs already D:

Orc Space Marines. Interesting. Can't wait to see the Elf Space Marines.

You can just see them coming up with this. "What's our most popular product line?" "Space Marines sir." "Then from now on everything will be like Space Marines!"

Give them winged helmets and I'd be all over elf marines.

Well another AoS release that's going to get me to buy more GW minis. Not these obviously but I'm off to panic buy some old orc kits before they go oop.

Of course I'll buy them from Ebay etc so GW won't actually get any money out of me............

I'd try to reserve judgement until better pictures are out but these are so clearly 40K Orks with no guns. They have nothing in common with the existing fantasy range.

Are those AoS/40k dual kits?

Why the bother if GW makes them OOP then, if you don't actually intend to buy from them in the first place? Orcs ain't exactly a rare range.

They are just in full plate armour. I think that you can have things in full plate armour and it still be fantasy

The yellow was ill advised though. Was inevitably going to lead to weeks of snark.

Looking forward to seeing them painted in actual armour colours

Will they get motorbikes? Fantasy ones?

Ebay sellers tend to have this annoying habit of putting OOP and price up to their products. Better then get them before the OOP price hike! One possible reason

Well, they do ride hogs so....

@Vorian, agreed to all of that.

Is that thing meant to be in Fantasy? I can see it being used in 40K.

Still, at least the rest of them don't look that different. I'm debating scooping up the metal Goblins before they go OOP though.

Would be ace, I still haven't converted that Orc on steampunk jet-ski that I want as a boarboy hero in my pirate Orcs crew


Still hoping for rat ogre sized Nobs, I mean they'll be priced as if they were as big as monter infantry, anyway.

Can't believe how close we are with no rumors.

I've been wondering if they've been cracking down on the rumors and leaks.

Haven't seen much outside of the blurry stuff, and it's almost Saturday (heck, it's probably Saturday somewhere already).

Why you no make with the weekly Pavlovian treats GW?

I think we got this weeks rumours early with the Imperial Knights boardgame
