No, they weren't.

Guessing that means no Stompa in the Ork book, but it's possible since AM was technically 6e that they didn't want to open that can of worms.

I'm doubting it, myself, especially if they're trying to move the G/M Naut.

Seeing as putting LoW into the codexes would largely negate Escalation, I don't see it happening. They want to keep the book useful and thus worth something to players.

I'm worried now that Zogwort will be removed entirely. I hope the removal of Zogwort's Curse isn't an indication that we'll be seeing the more fun, fluffy Ork stuff being dulled down to make them less random and more appealing to a wider market. </TinFoilHat>

My guess, since SW and BA also lost all their codex specific psychic powers, is that GW didn't want to try to assign WC values to them.

But that's just my guess.

But didn't they just throw Escalation into the new rulebook? I really need to go back and read it again, but I thought it detailed LoWs.

It seems all but certain that Zogworts will get the chop. What I'm really concerned about is that Wazzdakka will get the chop too!!! He is a mainstay of a lot of speedfreak lists and really needs a model (most likely going to be priced the same a Sammael of the Dark Angels if we are lucky!).

I did see mention that Buggies are coming with the possible release of a speek freaks expansion. That would be the greatest if true, that would likely mean Wazzdakka gets held back for that too. So if he isn't in this codex all hope isn't lost.

It seems all but certain that Zogworts gets the chop, sorry to be the bringer of bad news. That said there maybe plastic characters on the way one maybe a weirdboy depending if the rumours pan out.

They added the LoW into the FOC, added rules concerning D-Weapons, and the LoW types, but not the LoW themselves, nor the Warlord Traits Table or mission types.

If they bring back Nazdreg with Telyporta tek, I might forgive them for taking out Zogwort,

Second that

Nazdreg would be great if they brought him back. My mind races to think what that model would look like!

I might even forgive them for taking out Wazdakka!!

No no, that's crazy git talk. But BRING BACK NAZDREG!

Third, I was not in the game at the time of Nazdreg but would love to see him come back

Good Call.

But still - I want my Zogwort back...

Fielding him frequently provoked a comment: HAHA. You are fielding Zogwort. Waste of points.
(Unreadable face expression - something between scoff and panic...)

And then first round shooting phase... all lead sprayed on Zogwort mob... Surprise, surprise...

Here a set of rumours from a source that prefers to stay anonymous:

Big Mek in Mega Armour with shoulder mounted weapons, maybe SAG but doesn't look like it.

No idea, nice to speculate.

Well he looked like this before.



So he should have a crazy gun and also a massive (possibly hand like) klaw and be in Mega Armour, also probably close to the size of Gazzy.

I've got the WD, and it has a little tid-bit about waaaghs, and how an ork army builds up a waaaagh! and the more you build up, the more powerful it becomes...

Sounds like a chart to me..

Possibly based on number of orks in the army? Or perhaps related to the old "waaagh token" rumours that were going round months ago?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
My friends have just agreed to have a house rule to still field Zogwort, with curse. Obviously I'll still have to play without him at the local club, but it's nice to know I can keep him if GW take him away.

Perhaps, they've only really hinted at the new WAAAGH!

Time will tell what it trully is.

Any chance of some pictures, please?

anybody got nazdregs rules ? What book was he in ?

Nice to see more pics of the Ruzzbot (Gork/Morkanaut. It's pretty much a Ruzzbot.) , the cyclops head is really cool! It's really funny to see because it's super similar to a head I kitbashed a few months ago!

Sad to see Orks lose their Waaagh! psyker powers, but I'm going to make my daemon mobs squigs. I'm not bothered too much by the removal of Zogwort as a unit, but as a character I hope he stays in the fluff somehow. If he's replaced with Nazdreg however, then that'll be fun to have another mega-armoured boss unit. Tellyportas means deep-striking MANZ or nobz, which is the best thing imaginable.

Give me one sec please...


And there you go:

I don't know about you, but I feel like GW is focusing on Bad Moonz more that Evil Sunz with those releases (mini-Stompa, big meks, mega armour ...)
so, I'm not very confident about that "rumour" of an Evil Sunz mini-dex

Yeah me neither gotten me all worried about the possible dropping of said Wazzdakka. Oh well just close the old eyes.

Well, Bad Moon are the rich ones. <Insert GW joke here>
Nazdreg is Bad Moons....

Oh my, this Nazdreg seems like a ton of fun!

Re. Wazdakka, I'm kind of sad too, as I recently finished a model for him (see my gallery) :(
