Cool stuff really.
New Chimera looks pretty good, especially the dozer blade and the rocket. Too bad the basilisk ended up only being just that. Oh well.

**Bramnero**

Oh yeah i checked these out this morning. And in conclusion: The Deff Dread just possibly became one of my favourite models from GW, also love the new venerable dreadnought.

**Pika_power**

Perhaps we're getting an Ork retool soon...? That would explain the flashgit at least.

**BrookM**

I like the Kans and the three in a box idea, but the Deff Dread is a bit meh to me. The Chimera looks promising, pity about the Basilisk though. That Flash Git is the big winner though.

**BOSS_PIMPALOTZ**

Venerable Dread yum bloody yum that will be my 5th Dreadnought you know well 6th perhaps as the plasma cannon is screaming STICK ME ON ANOTHER DREADNOUGHT....!!!

The Basilisk a bloody let down just a rehash of the old kit im not too hot about the Chimera as neither will serve my Imperial Guard anyway the Kans,Flash Git and the Deff Dread very good very nice kits and if I still had my Orks would be going straight in thoses armies.

The book definately as thats shelf space well used.

**tokugawa**

Why there are still six stupid lasguns on the chimera?!

**Gargskull**

That family photo was awesome, the new Deff dred is indeed a lot bigger then the spacey dreds and the mega dred is huge, I might have to get one of those at some point...

RE: The kanz weapon loadout and them not having 3 of each type, I get the complaints but I don't agree with them at all, sprue space is limited and I'd rather see as many different weapons and bitz as possible then 3 big shootas, 3 rokkit launchas etc. That's what bitz sites are for, or trade with your ork playing mates, both deff dred and kanz include a number of spare weapons so I imangine they'll be lots of parts on the market come mid march.

My only complaints with the kits are that the deff dreds legs look too weedy and not nearly big or stompy enough and that there's no new grot riggers in either kit, I love those little guys and was hoping they'd try to inculde at least 1 in every ork vehicle but ho hum.

Roll on Match for hours of cutting and gluing fun!

**Major_Tom**

I like the look of the Kanz - both the models and the price, and will be getting some for my Ork army. I think the Venerable dread is a decent model, but I prefer converting my own Venerable dreads so will give that a miss. Really disappointed about the Basilisk - was hoping for an artillery variants kit - would have been great for scratchbuilding projects.

**daemon**

lets see

newly designed models for kans and dreads-check

plastic kits-check

kans coming in three!?!?-MAJOR CHECK

Dreads coming with 4 DCCW-check!

no parts for grotzookas/kustom blastas-not check

Im making a dreadbash list and this is the one thing that disappoints me. sure the dread kit has 2 kustom blastas but thats not enough for 9 kans and thats besides the fact they may not fit! Im somewhat disappointed with that because im not exactly a conversion master.

That aside though. Im thoroughly excited for the new release. (and also aside the chicken legs that become somewhat disappointing to look at after a while)

P.S. Anyone know what the scales are for the dreads and kans?

**sonofruss**

As said multiple times in this thread there is a grotzuka and a kmb the kmb is on the deff dread the grotzuka is on the first sprew pick It looks like a cannon

**Gargskull**

Deff dred actually has two KMB's so no worries there at all, they'll be good for dethkptas too.

Come to think of it, all those CCW's will be good for dethkptas also.

**Howlingmoon**

meh. no chaos = no sale

yay, the b&c kiddies get -another- new model. oh well. no plastic demon prince = saved money.

**The Watcher**

and i thought i was freakin done buying marine stufff.... NOM

**Grarg**

The killa kanz are full of awesomeness (except that they don't come with KMBs :() i'll be getting 3 boxes of those

The deff dread, while it looks good great, it's rules suck. And besides i've already got 3 mega dreads to protect their little brothers

Because that's an integral part of the Chimera design? It wouldn't really be a Chimera without the hull lasguns.

**H.B.M.C.**

As someone pointed out in another forum here - the Basilisk kit does not come with a Hull Heavy Bolter, meaning you cannot build it as it appears on the box. The best you get is a Hull Heavy Flamer on the accessory sprue.

This 'new' Basilisk just gets more and more lame as the hours go by...

**with an iron fist**

I'm a metal player, but the options in the ven. dread box?
Plasma cannon?
Las cannon?
Missile Launcher?
Assault Cannon?
Two typs of power fist?
Two typs of legs?
How many sarcophagus?
Almost make me want to convert everything into plastic.

Almost.

**MeanGreenStompa**

I am entirely impressed with the Ork dred and kans.

I am also pleased with the price of these kits.

Cheers GW, nice. Although my ImpG mate is not so happy about the basilisk apparently.

**WarOne**

As an ork player, those Killa Kans are rightly priced and very nice looking to boot!

I think I have seen the before.

Take the spikes and ork-y stuff off of them and ta-dah! j/k

Yes, I know. These are based off of the original metal Kans. I know, I know.

Warzone Bauhaus Vulcan Battlesuits.

**jester84**

The dreadnought is a must-buy for me...the ork-stuff looks nice too

**MeanGreenStompa**

Now I am hopeful for redux for the skorcha and buggies and an upgrade sprue for nobz to FGs.

Add the kits/upgrades you mentioned to the Dread/Kanz release and I can't think of anything else an Ork player would want

Well,maybe a Multi part Boss/Bigmek kit

**mikhaila**

AAAAAERERHWHFKKfriggingsnow!!!!

I have another 18" of snow to shovel, the mall my store is in is closed, and my frigging black box was coming in today!!

One day later on the snow and I could have spent all day putting it together and painting new models.

hmmm... Clan themed conversion kits for the existing plastics and Clan specific warbosses and nobz (with multiple options for each, a'la Avatars of War heads and weapons style).

**Alpharius**

That's a BIG "YES!" to clan specific conversion kits/sprues!

That would be... awesome!

**Gitzbitah**

Why stop there? There was a White Dwarf Codex for specific clans with the last codex- and a speed freak list. I look forward to Codex: Waaagh! Filled with specific clan lists and Ghazghull's Waaagh from the upcoming 6th war for Armaggedon.

As long as we're wishing, let's get it all!

Hmmm,you have a point my friend,perhaps a multi part Warboss kit could contain the needed components for clan specific upgrades,although it's apt to be pricey (if it ever becomes a reality).

**Bloodhorror**

Looking forward to the New Models. I'm wondering on whether the Killa Kans Could be Converted (Heavily?) to Bloodcrushers?

A conversion kit to make a Mekboy Stompa would be a nice addition to the range too
