Soooooo, eventually it surfaces, I’ve heard about this in one form or another for the best part of 2 years, I was getting worried when it was taking so long and “gretchinz” turned up.....
So what have I heard about this...
1/ it’s a self contained game, kind of a cross between dark future and gorkamorka but with a new twist.
2/ there will be a campaign type system for upgrading buggies and drivers etc. I don’t know if these are in the box or through a supplement/white dwarf.
3/ the buggies, the classic (ancient) buggy has had a total revamp and is unrecognisable now, however.... the buggies in this box set might not be the actual buggies that form the main release for 40k, they might be kind of like an “easy to build” type version. I heard the new buggy kit is THE most kustomisable kit that GW has ever done, with talk of wheels and tracks and bits to make scorchas etc as well as brand new variants.
4/ warbikes, trukks and even helicopters might be usable in the game, though not straight out of the box.
5/ at one time there was talk of extending the game with different tracks, legendary vehicles and drivers but I think this may have been canned.
I am super excited for this, and will pick up more than one box for sure

Okay, so now that CSM have received attention, Sisters are getting their update next year, and Orks have been teased (*edit* assuming this is real), who is left to whine on the board? I guess it's up to Eldar players at this point.

Long ago... about 2001-ish... when Armeggedon was first released with a little tiny book (including steel Legion, black template, and Orks) they had a Speed Freeks boxed set. It was amazing.
I do hope this is real, and equally amazing.

HOLLYYY <REMOVED>!!!! (sorry mods - amend as req'd) I hope this isn't a China only release as the article(?) kinda implies else I'm going to be spending a lot of money getting those models over to my house in the UK!!

There was a game that GW did, in white dwarf if I remember correctly, with orks where they had rules for vehicle chases.
This could be that, only updated, all to get us to buy the new buggy kit. If those on the front of the box represent what is in the box it looks like it is going to be a REALLY customizable buggy/trakk/skorcha kit.

Chinese writing on the box cover. So maybe its just region specific packaging?

I would hope it would include some new models though that would get rules or be the new models for warbuggies and the like. It would be odd to put awesome looking pictures on the front then inside you get those hella haggard warbuggy things they still sell.

True, hopefully theyre the right scale and have decent rules

Hopefully given the mention of Orks racing in that Vigilus lore video.
I could see this being a thing and I'm getting very, very hyped. I'm an Evil Sunz player and those buggies look like better versions of customisations I've made. If they're anything like the box art I'll have to get a few copies of this I think (price dependent of course).
Lolman1c needs to get in here, I know he's an Evil Sun too.

If this is an update on Gorkamorka, that would be terrific. It does seem to fit in with the existing narrative for Hive Vigilus. Orks were not able to penetrate the hive shields and had to go have fun on their own.
Let's speculate on the contents....
Definitely a couple buggy kits (with multiple builds)
bikes (existing kits)
character on bike model (probably includes options for both mek and boss and painboy)

There is a chance that this game will be set on the same planet as Kill Team and Tooth & Claw, as the background does mention bored orks going about racing on the plains of Vigilus.

Agreed, very likely

Would be over the moon with a new multi-purpose kit for the Buggies and/or Trakks.
I reckon it'll have 2 or 3 Buggies/Trakks.
Maybe 1 or 2 characters on Bikes or option to build a "character" bike instead of one of the vehicles.
It looks heavily customisable and we'll be able to build different types of 4 wheeled vehicles.
What do we think the size of the vehicles will be?
Oh man this has me excited. I sure hope it's real.
Buggies and Trakks are one of the few kits I don't own a zillion of (I've only got three trakks and one buggy). I don't like the old model but was holding off on making my own out of Trukks and Deffkoptas to see if GW was going to do something.
