The Gitz kit is incredibly beautiful but the price.... ugh. I made my 10 gitz out of 2 boxes of Nobz and my bitz box. For my eventual next 10 gitz I might try using a Nobz box and a Gitz box to give more parts variety.

That being said I personally enjoy using Flash Gitz and they work well enough in my Blitz Brigade lists. They aren't exactly tankbusta good but they are a blast to play with nonetheless.

Considering just how much stuff is packed onto those Flash Gitz sprues, the box is absolutely reasonably priced - at least I think so, anyways. You could put together 5 boxes worth and never have the same guns twice.

I completely agree that their new kit is great, its just waaay to expensive for a unit that is sadly worse than it was last edition. I want my Ignores Cover back!!

I think Gitz merit purchases from customers simply for their utility to be used with/converted into other units. We will see the same thing with the new Orcs release. In this regard, they can sell *despite* having terrible rules- the value is sufficient. I've never seem them played as they unit intended, however.

The mek gunz is an example of a unit that has pretty decent rules but is so expensive in terms of dollars per points that I personally have not seen it used (only converted from other stuff).

I bought 2 kits of Flash Gitz and 2 kits of Mek Gunz. Just to have a full unit of Flash Gitz. And I, probably, will buy one more Mek Gun kit so I have a nice unit of 3 KMKs. They are expensive, but they are still gorgeous.

I have 20 flash gitz and they are one of my favorite units to play with.

I bought two boxes of Flash Gitz, and that Badrukk box that had a further two boxes in there. I've already used the gun bits on other Orks to make unique conversions.

The sheer amount of variety, and the modular system where the guns are just 'frames' for all the bits, remains one of GW's best recent design decisions.

I suppose it's too much to hope for a return of Gorkamorka with rules for using everything from the Ork range?
If they want to encourage sales, that'd do it.

Big news and a game changer?
Ill give it a guess:
Supplement for magic.
Would make some sense if they are supposed to give Tzeench some attention in the near future.

Wait, are you saying the Flash Git kit is garbage, or Flash Gits in game are garbage?

'Cause the kit is spectacular. Inspired, even.

Absolutely. They're also designed so you can swap with Nobz bits, which are relatively cheap/plentiful so it's easy to eke more models out of them.

Yup. One box of flashgits, bunch of nobz I had lying around(have still some unassembled nobz. Ridiculous number of those). Enter 10 flashgits

Albeit if you have to buy box of nobz it adds to price but especially if you buy used stuff you end up with ridiculous number of spare nobz bodies very easily.

That won't happen, we already know the first specialist game to return will be Blood Bowl next year.

Looks to be a Flyer game with a modified Bommer (with KFF???)

Holy schmackerel. MORE ork flyers?

That is one zany looking plane. I shall hold myself off of it until I see the rules, but I think ol' Zoggin' Orxanne my lone blitza bommer may be getting a pal.

So rampant speculation time (AKA lets make the rules for this thing the way that GW makes the rules for their stuff)

what does this appear to have?

Seems like an underslung Trakktor kannon, interesting because now we get to use our pseudo grav gun as an actual anti tank weapon (ground based version is stuck snap firing at non-skimmers)

Looks like it's got some sort of force field, maybe a native 5++

two one-use missiles on the wings?

The main gun (guns) seem to be Kustom Mega weaponry of some kind, maybe a medium strength large blast gets hot variant? that would fit with GWs philosophy of "no flyer is ever allowed to get a suite of weaponry that actually synergizes with itself"

and it looks like we have a gretchin tailgunner in the back. Twin-linked big shoota, or somehing else?

I'm praying for something different than the standard 10/10/10 profile, but I suspect we will not get it. And I suspect this thing will probably crack 200 points given how much stuff it's got on it.

I like it!

Reminds me of some sort of kooky and zany 2ed style model.

If it can provide invulnerable saves for the da boyz that'd make it an auto include.

No way to land! Once your an Ork Ace, you stay an Ork Ace until shot down or you run out of gas...

I think you mean, until your gun runs out of gas.

Nah - they're Orks! If the gun is out of gas, they will just ram you to death!

Honestly disappointed by that. I would have preferred the classic artillery get a re-do.

There's a picture with a war buggy in it. And it's the same oll' war buggy.
Has anyone seen how much this Wazboma is going to cost?
I think I saw that Preorders start May 7th. Hard to read the numbers.....

Doesn't float my boat, personally, aesthetically or tactically.

BUT likelihood is that the boxed game might be fun... and will feature them at a good price, especially if you sell the other flyer to a Beaky player. The Imperial Knight game offered a huyge discount over the single models.

First, we don't know that's the only thing happening.
Second, irrespective of expectations of other kits, that is an awesome conversion sprue and I can't wait to see what else I can do with it.

Looks like you're right. There's another photo at faeit that give details (tellyport mega blasta, or anti-grav smasha gun) and what looks like a price of £42 (or maybe £40?) .

Watch it have the ability to do a Str D, Apocalyptic Blast Kamikaze run. That nosecone makes me think that thing isn't meant to make a trip back.

Bigger version of the Grot Bombers!

Find me the slingshot that launches that sucka...

This is incredibly disappointing. I was really hoping they were going to redo the old Kannon/Lobba/Zzap gunz, and maybe give us a formation. Instead, we get more flyers. Does that model look kind of neat? Sure. Am I going to buy it? No.

Given we thought GW might address the super-expensive £££ cost of the Mek Guns, the news of a dakkaject with one extra sprue for £15 more isn't that thrilling!

The little grot gunner looks cute though. Even though they mug us, they can still come up with cute Grots...

More pix here btw.

Really underwhelmed. The jet looks like a lazy kit bash.
We don't need recycled kits, we need better rules.
=(

Was not expecting a flyer.

Hope we get a formation that includes is, and hoping it's an elite choice not a fast or heavy. Or a way to include it in the Orkurian.


Curious looks like it has a kff, so that's a plus, our only kff are big meks and the morkanaught.

Waiting to see rules and point costs, but im.excited for it just by the look of it.. And I'm a big mek fan, so this looks like a winner to me.

From the product descriptions, it has a chaff system(a stikkbomm chukka) that can be upgraded into a KFF if you want.

Well it looks cool and Orky and it's going to come with a ton of bits by the looks of things. I think it's got the same crucial cone-shaped piece out of the Mek Gunz kit for its big gun. I guess if you were planning on getting a Dakka Jet and a Mek Gun (with a view to building multiple Mek Gunz) then this would be a slightly cheaper way to do it.

Looking forward to seeing what the boxed game is all about. Have there been any details posted?

Confused on its guns. One description says teleport blastas and another says Kustom mega cannons......

Hoping it's the teleport blastas
