Not sure if it slipped under their radar, or they are cool with showing them, but they are clearly new, I don't even recognize the pieces on them, and I have a pretty good memory for that kind of thing. Found it in the ork rumor roundup, thought people might miss it and decided to repost so they might not be glossed over looking at the mortanaught.

the nauts are just sexy as hell, and i'll probably sacrifice a lot of bitz kitbashing one or two lol.

As for the nobz, they could just be the rumored new plastic kits with no real new wargear, just new appearance. Aside from a deepstrike rule, or non-visual upgrades (cybork armor for instance), i dont know what they could add to them that would make sense. They arent gun platforms like terminators tend to be, theyre living walkers with pincerklaws lol. Though i had to admit i find it odd they dont use twinlinked BIG shootas, which would negate the no-running side effect since they could always shoot something.

So Orks are getting a Knight with transport capabilities, nice.

That's awfully big for a non-superheavy

Looks pretty killer.

It least the Mega-nobs will [probably] be less than £65 for a 5 model squad with the new plastics.

You sir, just one an internet.


Anyway. I'd guess its BIG, but slightly smaller then a riptide, therefore "not quite there" for superheavy status.

I wonder how its other version (gorkanaut) looks like now, and what it does.

Just a wild guess, but if the Morkanaut is shooty, the Gorkanaut will be CC.

Just to prevent more random guesses about known stuff, I'll sum up the known rules

Morkanaut

Stats:
WS4 BS2 S8 AV13/13/12 I2 A4 HP5
Points unknown

Wargear:
TL big shoota
Kustom Mega Blasta
Kustom Mega Kannon (36" S8 AP2 Blast, Get's Hot)
2x Rokkit Launcha
Klaw of Mork (S10 AP1, Melee, Concussive)
+50 points for KFF
+20 Points for Grot Riggers (IWND)

Rules:
Walker, Transport(6)

Gorkanaut

Stats:
WS4 BS2 S8 (rest not visible, probably the same as above)
Points unknown

Wargear:
Deffstorm Mega-Shoota (36" 3d6 S6 AP4)
TL big shoota
2x Rokkit Launcha
Skorcha
Klaw of Gork (S10 AP1, Melee, Concussive)
Options unknown, very likely to be able to at least take grot riggers as well.

Rules:
Unknown, probably also transports 6, due to similar look.

Which ork unit,that isn't bulky, has fewer then 10 models in it ?

Kommado's ,Tankhunters ,Loota's ,Nobz are all good at 6 It should also serve as a nice Warboss and mates delivery system

Its real simple - get rid of MegaNobz, add MegaArmour option to the Nob squad. IE just give them what Nobz have now and whatever it is Nobz get in 7th.

Their random lack of bosspoles, cybork etc (on the most wealthy Orks, and so the ones most likely to have such things...) really cripples them at the moment.

Kustom Mega Kannon (36" S8 AP2 Blast, Get's Hot)

Thats just brutal, and just what Orks need atm. Not a big fan of AP2 blasts in this game but if GW is gonna roll that way we might as well get one ourselves.

Doesn't look any bigger than a land raider.

Really, with Wraithguard and Centurions and their ilk around, you can't imagine some new options for their Ork counterparts?

About time.

Now, who wants to bet they're no cheaper than the old metal ones?

I'd say it's the orky answer to the Land Raider, really, a well-armored vehicle torn between its duties as a fire support tank and an assault platform.

Just would like to point out the leaked pic states 2 TL big shootas, when it's been listed as one. The model has four big shootas on its shoulder, too

Not really no, because orks are more about charging into combat than shooting fancy guns. Aside from increasing their rate of fire with a Gatling gun or something like that (but not strength or ap), any better shootyness wouldnt make sense. However special rules such as giving them a damn bosspole, cybork armor, and their own painboy would be fantastic.

Also, to the comments of "That thing is awfully big to not be a superheavy" - wraithknight is just as tall as Warhounds, and it isnt a gargantuan creature (THANK GOD). I could see them giving this thing some kinda anti-damage charge rule though, just leave out the other super-heavy-walker rules (still succumb to Explodes! like supers do, mind you)

Also, 5 freakin HP? holy crap! Thats enough HP where glancing to death just got difficult, even though its not AV14. My tau might have issues facing a couple of those, barring lucky damage chart rolls with a fusion bomb.

or you know, discover that the codex has haywire grenades for 2ppm

Yeah like im going to buy those. If i buy them for all my units thats ~80pts down the drain since most likely only 1 unit will use it. If i only bring one unit with it, that one unit will be focused to gak and back. Plus, any unit i charge that thing with will most likely die either from fighting it to begin with or the orks that are most likely just behind it or inside it.

Or all around it, enjoying that sweet 5++ KFF save and scaring off those pesky S8 AP1 armorbane guns.

I believe "it's a trap" is the quote I'm looking for, although swarms of fire warriors with an ethereal to make them not run sprinting up the board into the face of ork firepower to try and get their haywire grenades in range does paint quite a humorous mental image.

I don't know about you, but my orks haven't been able to "enjoy" actually getting their 5+ cover save in a lonnnnggg time.

Me either, but more because everything ignores it not i just fail the save. My battlewagons are the only thing that usually get that cover save, and yes i usually fail that lol.

I was actually kinda shocked the FAQ didnt change it. Its kinda regarded as total crap now in such a heavy ignores cover meta, but we take it anyway because we have no choice when we go mecha orks or green tide. Because at least we get it against SOME attacks.

Well, rejoice for the new codex then. KFF has been confirmed to be an invulnerable save now.
