Well, FW already has the mega-dread, for only £10 more.
Does anyone have a rough stat comparison?

I have read somewhere* that FW will focus on the WH30k and models that are compatible to Wh30k, without any xenos taken under consideration...
*it was non GW or FW source... so salt is required. I will try to find the link with that sentence.

MegaDread is:
- HP 3
- Rear AV 11
- A 3
- 175pts
while 'Orkanaut is:
- HP 5
- Rear AV 12
- A 4
- 230-245pts
Weapons are different of course

Its hard to be awesome, when your playing with little plastic men. 
Welcome to Fantasy 40k
If you think your important, in the great scheme of things. Do the water test.
Put your hands in a bucket of warm water,
then pull them out fast. The size of the hole shows how important you are.
I think we should roll some dice, to see if we should roll some dice, To decide if all this dice rolling is good for the game.

The high volume of fire combined with the potential high AP and BS3 means that they will be effective against all infantry, not jsut MEQ
Ammo runts also seem like a good option, and you would use those on a high AP roll to maximise your results.
Against light infantry, shoota boys soon start looking like a better deal.
Good point on the runts though, assuming they keep the same rules.
I run 30-man Mobs of Shoota Boyz...with GOOD success. I have 3 Mobs ATM, but I have 3 more on the way. It's just a lot for people to have to deal with.

How far out GW choses to give its release schedule is entirely up to them. Privateer press and GW are not the same game, so a person buying a Privateer Press model isn't going to use it to play GW games, or visa versa. Everyone, at this point, should know full well that irks are coming this month. What more do you need?
It's entirely possible that a person would play multiple games from multiple companies - I play Khador, Circle Orboros, and orks. If my hobby budget for the month is $50, and I know Privateer Press is releasing a kit on the 5th, but Games Workshop might be releasing one on the 23rd... well, I might just go for the confirmed released over the "maybe".
If your hobby budget for the month is $50 then you're obviously working a minimum wage job and as such you're not Games Workshop's target market.

Could this be an indication that GW loves its Ork players, and that they will release more kits with dense sprues of random Orky goodness?
One can hope!

I do love them, but there is one little thing I would improve: the main piece of the guns is all boxy, I think it would have been nice to have some roundish too
I mean, when you look at the 5th image on that link, they kind of all look the same: same pose for the Flash Gitz bodies, same basic piece for the gun bodies
I hope the FG bodies can, as usual for Orks, be put in many different poses

Oh my God. This SUCKS.
I have a set of Kromlech Ork punk-rock heads that I've been saving to use with a squad of Ork Bikers.
But now I see these awesome Flash Gitz and the first thing that popped into my head is how awesome they'd look with punk mohawks!! Dammit! I can't decide which is better!

One of the bodies is stated to have a bionic leg. And one of the images shows a ammo filled font chest piece. The new bodies will likely be more piratey and decked out with ammo.
edit: one also has a high collar/cowl which has to be part of the torso.
