After looking at the current White Dwarf, I noticed that in the back under 'Parting Shot', I see an Ork Stompa with other killa kanz and Deff Dreads. Is it possible that the Orks are next up for a Codex? Please let it be true, I got 42K points of orks waiting for some sweet sweet love from GW. Can anyone confirm this or am I crazy?

Doubt it, maybe just as it looks cool and Apocalypse is out.

That's probably because Orks are one of the only armies to have a non-Forge World apoc unit-the Stompa.

Its heavily rumoured to be Lizardmen as next months release, and the next to being Space Marines and Tyranids. But i imagine them being high on the list. Aren't they still on 4th ed?

Yeah they are pretty much the oldest book.

Black Templars followed by orks.

Odd, I thought Orks was released in 5th ed?

EDIT: Oh I see, they were released right before 5th.

Well, they were released kinda near the end of 4th, so it's close.

Orks are a 5th ed codex in the way that necrons are a 6th ed codex. They say one edition but were clearly designed for another

The Parting Shot in the back means literally nothing. It's a cool picture that may or may not have anything to do with the magazine before it. For instance, April's had a Thunderhawk. March's was a Hive Tyrant fighting Thunderwolves. February's was the Araknarok Spider. It's just a cool picture, don't read into it.

That being said, Marines are rumored to be next, in September.

Space marines is next according to the rumors, with orks being released early next year.

That would be a crappy and lame decision to make.

So it sounds pretty likely, given GW's history.

Wait, releasing a new Codex for the third oldest Codex in the game (which is also quite likely the most popular Codex) would be a crappy and lame decision to make? Could you elaborate, please?

Simple: We've already had several marine codices released. The rest can wait while non-marines get updated.

But that would make sense... A word that rarely belongs in the same sentence as GW

I'm in no hurry, I really don't want to buy a 50 dollar hardback codex anytime soon. The codex isn't perfect, but its still pretty solid. I would rather armies like sisters of battle, black templars, nids, and even IG get an update first, as they all need tweaking more urgently than the orks do.
