Doubt it, they already got a whopping two formations in the Damocles book, unless there's a Ork-hatin' freeblade out there.

So, the mekmob is going to be the ork equivalent of a strikeforce?
If you can buy it through online discounters and the 20% saving rumour is true, it could work out pretty good value for money.

Wasn't ever in doubt.
Gerantius has been floating around since the Knights stuff launched, and is the Freeblade associated with Scnatis Reach.
Would be interesting if he became a "Special Character" in his own right, because I think that's something the Knight army could really use (a system to allow each model to be truly individual, if only to allow Knight armies to pad out the points to fight at standard point sizes without allies) but I'd be highly skeptical of something that fun and interesting happening, at least not without a £20 book or download to support it.

I've gone and got myself all enthusiastic now!
Imagine how cool that would be, being able to buy USRs or even special traits to make your Knights individuals?
It annoys me that I can't take 4@1500 and 3 is ~1200, meaning to play at my club's standard 1500 I have to take allies.
If I could tailor them to their roles, give them an "on table" personality and pad the points too, I'd be really happy.

Yeah, it's about the only way they can get som AA!
But seriously, despite myself, I've actually started creating back stories for my three (despite only one being finished, the other two are still NIB) and it would be great if the one I've finished, who became a Freeblade when the rest of his house was wiped out, and he now roams his forest planet looking for a cause worth dying for, could have scout to represent his natural affinity for navigating through heavily forested terrain, or the hot-headed young Errant could have rampage, or the experienced, steady commander be given Preferred Enemy?
It would be very cool, and would have transformed the Knight Codex.

Best I can suggest would be to write down some rules to generate your own special characters and see if people in the club will play them. Bit of playtesting and then they too could have their own special characters.
In my group we're doing a pretty large campaign and we -- well me mainly -- have written up some rules for generating our own special characters -- 10 points extra 2 rolls on a D66 chart and roll 3 warlord traits and keep one.
Bonus new skill/roll if a character survives a campaign phase.

At the back of the Whitedwarf it says the sanctus reach saga continues. (I only have the german version, might differ)
I would assume new models are up for preorder next weekend, talking about the already sighted Waaghboss Grukk....maybe something else.
Next whitedwarf comes whith a datasheet for the imperial knight.

Sanctus Reach Volume 1
The Red Waaagh! is the opening instalment of the Sanctus campaign and Sanctus Reach: Volume 1 combines this campaign supplement with the Evil Sun Rising novella by Guy Haley into one exceptional collector’s edition.
These two small format hardback books are presented in sturdy slipcase and contain all the same content as the large scale editions.
Sanctus Reach: The Red Waagh
A storm of violence is about to break upon the Knight world of Alaric Prime. At the head of a vast greenskin horde, Warlord Grukk Face-rippa leads the attack against the forces of the Imperium.
The Red Waaagh! is a 112-page hardback book introducing the Sanctus Reach campaign. Inside you will find: Waaagh! Grukk, which is the story of the Red Waagh! and its attack upon Alaric Prime. There are twelve scenarios that allow you to refight the battles of the Red Waaagh! and five datesheets that provide detailed rules for famous formations that fought in the war for Alaric Prime.
Planetary invasions in Warhammer 40,000 have never been more deadly, the The Red Waagh! also includes fully updated rules for Planetstrike and Planetfall missions.
Sanctus Reach: Evil Sun Rising
As the Red Waargh! Engulfs the Sanctus Reach, orks flock to Warlord Grukk’s banner, Big Mek Uggrim and his Red sunz amongst them. But even with plenty of humans to kill, the orks can’t help fighting amongst themselves, encouraged by the psychotically unstable Grukk. The Red Sunz soon find themselves having to contend with the the attentions of Mogrok, another Big Mek who covets Uggrim’s creations. Beset by conflict with the Imperium, their rivals and each other the Red Sunz prepare for the fight of their lives.
Evil Sun Rising is a novella by Guy Haley.
Ork Mekmob
Especially talented or popular Mekboyz will soon attract a following; these like-minded underlings are more than willing to test out the Meks latest inventions. In exchange, the Mek will kit ‘em out with the best and killiest gear.
This multi-part plastic boxed set contains 3 Meganobz (one of which can be assembled as a Big Mek in mega armour), a Trukk mob of 10 Boyz with their Truck, a Deff Dread, a Mek with a Grot Oiler.
(The Mekmob is actually kind of disappointing in my opinion, especially at $160)
Then there are three "bundles"(read: no savings): the Adamantine Lance(three Knights), the Steel Host(Cadian tank company with a Hydra in it), and the Dropzone Defense Network(two Bastions, three ADLs, and craters).

Definitely one of the weaker bundles they have released. An overpriced mek (no KFF or SAG and does it count as the 15 point mek or a big mek? I can get a regular mek for 25 with 4 lootas), a dread (do people actually run dreads if they can't be in the troop slot?). The trukk boyz and mega nobz are nice but there is so much dead weight for a bundle. Hell the old kit was more usable for building a force (more boyz and bikes are always good). How do you have an Ork bundle with only 10 ork boyz?

So now Sanctus Reach will be two weeks, essentially spreading the Ork release another week.
We know that their is another Ork model on the way, we just don't know when he will arrive and how?
I have a feeling he will be in a bundle, similar to the Plastic Terminator Caption. But at this point, does anyone really know?

Word was about a new plastic Boss with a Killsaw. Probably Grukk da Facerippa. Check the old ork codex thread.

Speaking of weak bundles, the two Sanctus Reach books are $49.50 and $20 US, but you can buy them together for $85! That's right! $15.50 for the box! Great news!
Seriously, if $50 wasn't the price of new GW books, I think I'd be very happy about the Sanctus Reach supplement. 40 pages of background, some formations and battle scenarios, and a complete update of Planetstrike (according to WD)? Yay! For $30 I would be over the moon. Thanks to my local gaming store, I can functionally get it for $40, which is okay, I guess.
But charging you more for the box set of both books? Why not charge me list price and kick me in the junk?

Okay. This is really getting insulting. There is a one-click deal (lolz) on pre-order for three Knights. This is exactly the same deal as was previously rolled out a couple of months back when the Knights were released. Now, the "old" deal is no longer available on the web site and this "new" (new meaning "exactly the same") one is on pre-order.

Ok so a big mek and only 2 mega nobz so you can't even field that unit. No matter how you slice it it's a poor box and if you where trying to build an army off it then it's really lacking. The biggest offender is the incredibly overpriced mek which is 21 dollars for a 15 point unit. Again you can get a mek in the loota box for 4 more dollars and get 4 lootas for free

A Big Mek and 2 Mega Nobz that can be converted into Warbosses in Mega Armor, actually. The "Ork horde" detachment gives you 3 HQs, not counting the Meks that you can get from Mekaniaks.
While I certainly agree that it's not the best box they've ever done, to pretend it's offensive is silly.

No actually you can't. The bits included with that Mek are right now exclusive to him. Notably the "Killsaw".

Lol, just realised that the zero discount bundles are on pre-order for sale on the 12th July!
So, I can buy three Knights now, for £255, or I can pre order three Knights for delivery next week.
For £255.
