Knights are vehicles.

Better vehicle models, I grant you. But then you don't need to restrict that to 2018.

Knights got a total of 4 new kits, (5 if you include the AT ones, which no more count then you'd accept a blood bowl Ork release as a 40k ork release) it's POSSIABLE Orks could get more. although Orks likely aren't going to have the "differant weapons, differant kit" situation that IK players got.

5th one is coming later this year.

I wouldn't say Knights got 4 new kits.

Warglaives and Helverins are the same kit, just with different weapon sprues.
The Castellan and CC Knight are the same kit, just with different weapon sprues.

The Armigers and 'super Knights' are two different boxes with specific variants that could have been a single kit, but were broken into two separate boxes (purportedly) "to avoid hefty price tags for components that won't be used".

The new Knight might be just be another frame added onto the already packed Knight kits.

At best, I would say Knights got several new boxes.

It's also possible that the new buggy might come with tracks you can put on the back and then put the larger rear wheels to the front to make it level and add an extra armour plate and it can be a wartrakk

I'm sorry to inform you but Orks have actually used up their quota of complaining for the year now. Now that new content has been confirmed the original leeway on the volume of ork related complaints has come to an end. From now on you can only compliment or at best give neutral responses.

You'll get a fresh allocation of complaint tickets when the new Complaint Committee reviews the situation in the new Calendar year. That is provided that you fill in forms 1-20 in triplicate and provide a down payment of at least 15 teef per ork. This must all be done before the Calendar year otherwise you'll void complaint tickets until the full meeting at the following financial year.

THIS NEITHER ANNOYS ME NOR MAKES ME HAPPY!!!!

DID YOU KNOW THAT NINETY-SEVEN PERCENT OF ALL LIVING THINGS ON PANDORA AREN'T EXPLODING RIGHT NOW? THAT'S BULLSH*T, BUY TORGUE!

You can't say "Torque" without "Ork".

Still, 2>1 even with ork maths.

Orks get 1 new vechile and people are comparing models like squig sizes

To quote the Warhammer Community site:

That’s right – after waiting patiently (and not-so-patiently), Ork players can look forward to a brand new boxed set featuring some incredible new vehicles, like this update of the venerable Ork Warbuggy.

The Warbuggy isn't the only vehicle in the box, and it's not just a box of warbuggies according to rumors we've already seen.

Does anyone actually begrudge us this update? Really?! 21 years is a long time...

Space Wolf players, assuming there's no Russ to be released soon, are the only ones I think that have a reason to be justifiably salty at this juncture.

I wasn't begrudging anyone but wanted to point out that the warbuggy shouldn't be the only thing in the box, but rather we should be seeing a few different units.

the last few editions wolves got some cool stuff! they get unique fliers, wulfen, thunderwolf cavalry, now salty about codex taking so long sure, but model wise they have one of the best and newest lines. If Thier fluff were not so bad I would have more then the couple painting projects for them I have done so far.

I hope the new buggy kit is as customizable as the Hastings rumor says. I'm a little nervous that they'll end up getting the same treatment as the recent Imperial Knights kits, with what could have easily been dual kits being sold as two separate kits. I'm not sure I buy the whole "saving money" reasoning, especially on Knights which people often magnetize.

I might be biased as an Ork player though. I see extra bits as a major bonus, where maybe for other factions they might feel like a waste?

I'm super excited for the ramps! I really want to jump my vehicles over them to temporarily gain Fly while advancing or charging.

To be honest, I'm willing to pay a decent chunk of money for wheels, drivers and engines and then make the rest out of plasticard. Unfortunately, I expect those will be exactly the bits which they don't provide any spares of (although if they do have tracked versions, I could maybe make three from two).

I can see Space Wolf players being justified in getting a little salty because the Orks looted their preview week.

Er, there are two different warbuggy sculpts in the box.

I think the web team was just afraid of all the Ork howling drowning out their wolf hype and did something to head it off.

Personally I'm thrilled at the model. No army is going to get a revamp on 100% of their line. The fact that GW was willing to address the most egregious of the problems in the Ork line makes me hopeful. The bulk of our models are solid and don't need a refresh.

If we can get a couple more things (warboss, bikerboss, koptas, and of course balanced rules) I think we will be golden.

*shrugs* I was just quoting the Warhammer Community post that claims we'd have multiple new vehicles. Who knows, maybe if you get three buggies you can use them to build an even bigger vehicles alla the Daemon Chariot of Slaanesh?

He can have races with Logan Grimnar! damnit, this amuses me too much I kinda want this to be a thing now.

Right. (Rolls up sleeves).

Giant squiggoth, pedal powered, weapon mounts, on space hulk, towed by multiple roks, with Grot Riggers.

In my day you could scratch build anyfink.

Still not as silly as Space Wolves.

which is a problem that MUST be rectified, the Orks are the silly goofy (in a good way) army damnit!

The new models look great, but I will be holding back my praise until I see some damn rules that make them worth taking. Last edition we all got so excited about the Mork/Gorkanauts, only to find out that they are basically crap and only for fluffy games at most.

And I will not be listening to Reece or any other "experts" or "Playtesters" as the last time we did that we heard that Killa Kanz and Stompas would be super amazing!

Space hulks turned into kannons inside space ports orbiting a looted craft world that has been retrofitted to travel through the warp making the squiggoths the size of a small moon.

I have learned to not hold my breath on GW giving orks good rules. in 5th we had 3 ok builds of which 2 were pretty much exploits.
1. Nob wound shenannigins which other players kept demanding be fixed and was doen in 6th
2. kanwall. thanks to the inv sav eof kff which also got nerfed
3. bw bash which again GW nerfed by killing the KFF's usability outside of the new morkanaught (coincidence?).

I am def going to get biuggies and traxx if they release them but I have tempered all hopes of getting a useful dex. orks place seems to be the comic relief and we exist to be the imperial whipping boys. heck the new reference to orks is telling... while space wolves fight genesteelers the orks simply could not compete so they went and had races on the other side of the planet.

Not a disc shaped Rok on the top of 4 squiggoths the size of moons riding a Void Whale?

Void?

Don't mix systems, it only confuses the Grots.

Void Whales are massive space beasts that live in the void and can swallow whole worlds (or WAAAAAGHS).
