With the new codex would come new models. That is GWs main reason for redoing a codex. Plastic tomb spyders, wraiths, and immortals would sell, as would flayed ones. Granted the rules would have to be updated to push the desire to purchase said models.

I only wish DAs hadnt gotten so many models with their latest codex, then maybe I would see some decent rules in the coming months/years...

From my understanding, is most of the time is spent on the modeling process.
If my current place of employment is any indication, it takes about 9 months to design, test, redesign, and eventually make the molds for the said models.

I can only imagine the amount of time put into each model, even more so with the amount of detail now a-days.

I wasn't back in the game yet at the time but, wasn't the Ork dex released in 07ish?

before that, the previous Ork codex came out the same year as 3rd edition (anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

No that sounds about right...
Frankly, I'm confused by GWs unwavering support of Orks as an army. I've been playing since the dawn of 2nd edition and had never once actually met anybody who plays Orks until after their latest codex. Nobody seemed to care much about them even though they were constantly pushed on us. By my reckoning, (which may well be completely off-kilter) Orks were the least popular army... Not that I'm not happy for our Orks fans who recently got an amazing new codex. But if GW is going to release codices based on need + popularity, Necrons and DE should have come before Orks. As things stand, Necrons and DE should really be next in line... (After they give us Moar Speise Marorns of course!!11!)

Id have to 100% agree with you there. My entire time in 3rd edition (which was pretty much the entire 3rd ed run), I never played an Ork army once. I was dying to play against some, considering almost all the fluff in all the armies seemed to have some kind of huge confrontation with the Orks. Hell even when the Armageddon campaign I never saw an Ork.

Then of course as soon as I start Orks, I played at least 2 ork players a week. Bah

Orks really needed an update though. Long before Necrons. (I still have some of the old metal necrons and metal scarabs they used to have when they where a WD army)
