Targeting Squig = Auto win

Yep im diggin those gtfinda squigs.

If Kaptin badrukk is dropped i think hell still be good model to fit in as a normal Kaptin. But like all i hope hes moved to HQ and make these guys troops or something. A squig can dream right.

Oh my I so hope this turns out...I wonder if that Freebootaz supplement rumor will come to pass?

I like the 'Ere we go rule

Not to mention them models look SWEET! I mean look at dem big snazzy gunz !

And the biggest and most important thing is, the character is called "Kaptin" !!
I LOVE IT!!

You just gave me the idea to put them in a trukk, move 6inches, shoot at BS3... Trukk flats out behind the morkanaught. Checking my rulebook to see if this works now.. if it does, you bet im going to be doing this!

I wonder if the FGs will be a dual kit? Seems unlikely, given how specific all their gear seems to be, but GW does love it's dual kits recently. When was the last time they even released a plastic kit that only made one unit?

Well... its finally came around, they posted the preorders for those morka/gorkanauts... gota say I'm a little dissapointed... Finding it hard to get myself to like these models. Is this the worst ork model in years and years? lol

Bring on the next wave already.. something I actually want to buy perhaps

Sternguard and Vanguard vets I believe. As well as the new tactical squad.

Move 7 with red paint job as the extra inch doesn't count against you (if that rule still exists)

I'm just worried that the T shirt save is going to make them a prime target to be focused down. Big shootas (if we aren't trusting the variable AP to be favorable) seem like they are a better point value. It does make me wonder though why they all have boss poles and what function they could have now.

I certainly hope red paint job doesn't go away. With the morkanaught near by, these guy at least get 5++, that combo, I'm going to be playing it quite a bit.. Beyond excited at this point.

I think for their point value, they make an argument that they are better than lootas.

They are consistant with their firing, no d3 shots. Ap value that will ignore space marine armor 50% of the time. Much better at assaults. I'm starting with two boxes... at the minimum of flash gitz.

What? You can't shoot with the Gitz THEN move flat out with the Trukk. They all shoot as one unit but with Split Fire, at least that's how it was in 6th.

The flash gitz now fire at BS 3 and we dont have units that can take only big shootas as far as we know
The random ap can be good if you dont rely on it. Think of it as a bonus in disguise. Shoot to dakka to death and from time to time "woups i ignore your armor, now you have to relly on cover"
As for the armor save, 4+ imo never did make a difference since most people ignored it
A guntrukk seems to me like it could be rly good, and dont forget they can still charge and hit like a hammer to the face (4atks each at str5)
I think they might be a great support anti infantry unit

Well, Big Shootas are fantastic value, so that's no real criticism.

The random AP thing actually should give you a decent boost to killing power on average. I think it works out about 50% better vs 3+ saves in 5+ cover than a big shoota would.

If mega-armour still gives Slow and Purposeful, then attaching a character to these guys might be hilariously good depending on the exact interaction between gitfindas and S&P.

Are these the first 40mm base models since 6th edition that don't have the Bulky rule?

Why are people saying that the gork/morkanaught's rules are bad? I dont see anything wrong with it.

I think that we should be more exited about the " 'Ere we go" special rule
If it replaces the previous WAAAGH! Special Rule across the codex, that means boyz will have a better chance to get off charges then before!

It's quite possible that they have access to the ork armory which contains things like eavy armor, cybork bodies, et al, but the WD just doesn't list that.

Yep, at intial glance, 'ere we go! looks better than a one-time use waagh!

And on top of that, (hopefully) there's a new WAAGGH!

Slow and purposeful now only works with heavy, salvo, ordnance weapons as if they were stationary. Assault weapons weren't on the list, unfortunately. The rule is pretty straight forward in its wording.

By Mork (or Gork), I love the new models for the Flashgitz (though I can see that painting them will be a long-term project). It looks like my wallet's going to take a hit next month.

Month?

Next week they'll go up for preorder, most likely.

that would be sweet if the kans get 2 ranged weapons,
due to the box lacking another weapon option it has a skorcha on it, and i am wondering if the give you the option to replace the klaw arm with a skorcha or allow other options for that arm.

I can honestly say I didn't realize May's almost over. Hmm, going to have to figure out what I can do without for the next few weeks if I don't want to wreck my budget.

Double grotzooka would be a gift from Gork and Mork for my Kanz.

Just some armchair speculation from an orky neophyte, but ork leadership is chosen solely by a policy of "dah biggest and dah strongest". It is common for the ork leader to be unceremoniously replaced by some young upstart gunning for the crown, right? When one falls for whatever reason, the next meanest, nastiest git takes ova 'is station.

Looking at the Kaptain stats, they are the same as the rest. All models have boss poles, as well. Maybe ork unit leadership never loses its leader? When one dies to, say, a challenge, another immediately claims the top spot? Would there be any gaming advantage to this? I only paint, so I wouldn't be able to speculate any more than this baseless meandering.

22 points for a model with a 6+ save? Ok GW. You keep forgin' that narrative!


Models look ace, though.

WHY IS IT NOT OUT YET?

Squid dude, I don't know how you held it in for so long. I've only seen them today and I want them yesterday.

The lack of the Waaagh! special rule, in addition to the 'Ere We Go! special rule effectively confirms a new Codex is imminent. All that remains to be seen is whether it goes up for preorder next Saturday or the one after.

Those models are freakin' awesome, as well. I agree with whoever said it above that the lack of 'eavy armour doesn't actually confirm or deny their ability to take it, there could easily be an additional Armoury section with a bunch of options.

FINALLY A TRANSPORT OPTION! !!!!!!!!!! :O

They could of just gotten that and I would have been happy the rest is icing on the cake after I read that.

I have a unit already converted up now to make them their own trukk
