I'm still confident we will see some plastic characters in this release. MA warboss for sure, probably a big mek with KFF, maybe a weirdboy or some special characters (Ghaz and Grotsnik being the most likely candidates).

I hope you're right, but I suspect we've seen everything there is to see.

Not to disappoint you but we won't. 4 plastic kits, a boxed game and a piece of scenery. We're done.
Afaik it's Blackstone fortress after Orks so don't be disappointed.

There is a big mek with SAG, very nice he is too, and yes one in the loota box, just seems a missed chance to have a more configurable big mek and a few helpers actually included with the kit, heck even just a few grots would work, just looks empty without them
Looks good but it sounds alot like it fucntions (or doesn;t) in a similar way to the Knights repair platform.
The good thing is that its a non Imperial piece of terrain

If this is all of it, we lost the kommandos since they are not in the on-line store anymore...

Id guess 'Kommandos' are now whatever you spend the infiltrating stategem CP on.
The fluff is like ketchup and mustard on a burger. Yes it's desirable, yes it makes things better, but no it doesn't fundamentally change what you're eating and no you shouldn't just drown the whole meal in it.

The mega-armour warboss wasn't mentioned as being removed from the codex. It's pretty clear they are removing anything that doesn't have a model. They don't sell a mega-armour warboss. I don't see any practical way to kitbash one from existing kits. Given that, it seems extremely unlikely that there won't be a new kit for a MAWB.
Similar logic applies to the big mek without mega-armour or a shokk-attack gun, although they could just re-do the metal ones in finecast.
Also, how many releases have they done recently which don't include characters? The webway gate is the only one I can think of. Other than that, it's been years.
EDIT: never mind, the last point is irrelevant since we're getting a character in the form of the wartrike.

Speaking of Lootas, both them and Burna Boyz and Nobz are 'Sold Out - No Longer Available' on the US site while Ork Boyz are the same on the UK and Germany sites most likely for reboxing for 32mm bases. Still no sign of the Kommandos

It would be really odd to add kommandoz to killteam and then axe the models though...
7 Ork facts people always get wrong: Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other. A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot. Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests. Orks do not think that purple makes them harder to see. They do think that camouflage does however, without knowing why. Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor. Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers. Orks do not have the power of believe.

why would they mention removing anything from the codex? What could that possible get them except flakk? Of course they havent mentioned removing anything.

We've had leaks, they mentioned that the big gunz are axed in the new codex (assuming they're true). I think the logic is, if they told us that, why not also say that the mega armour warboss is gone as well? I guess they could have just missed it

Only if they release them in purple-dyed plastic

They also told us the points drop for the battlewagon, and increase for boys.... But not for trukks lootas or deffkpotas... Lack of information is evidence of nothing unfortunately.

Surely you can make a mega armour warboss from the nobz in mega armour kit?

Assuming it’s not just a repackage to 32mm bases or something, that is.

There's bits to make a Big Mek but none for a Warboss. If you'd want to convert one I'd start with the Ironjawz Megaboss.

Honestly, i know many people who just buy the kit and say one if the nobs with a pole is their warboss. They're about the same size as the current fine cast one.

Only Kommandoes are a unit in Killteam. I don’t see them discontinuing the unit in 40k and leaving it in Killteam. That makes no sense at all.
So is the thought then that the different clan traits will function at a detachment level?
