Yep, +1 to that. I'm already slowly transitioning my Ork army over to almost exclusively Kromlech models.

Does it have legs or tredds? Hard to tell, I'm hoping legs.

Looks like legs to me.

Tredd it up like the feral ork garant

build your own anyways. i built my own deff dread just a couple weeks before the new one came out, and i still like it better... but then, i'm of the opinion that no two ork vehicles should look anything alike.

So a giant walking box. Ok. How's about all them kits the Orks really need:

Plastic Tankbustas
Plastic Kommandoz
Plastic Meganobz
A Flash Gits kit.
A Buggy/Trakk kit.
A Deffkopta kit.

What about them?

What's that on the upper right? Sumfin Orky...

We don't know yet, but the rumors variously said a new kit for each of those units. On those we truly will have to wait and see.

If nothing else, judging from the new rules and from what I just read in the 7th ed thread, we will really be needing an MC/walker. So this new kit may end up being very important and very necessary.

Plus, forget a new kit for tankbustas, Kommandos, gitz, etc, what they REALLY need is new rules, and then we'll have a reason to buy a new kit. I don't think anybody is buying any of that crap already as it is. I hope most of them don't get the copy-paste hackjob treatment, and again the rumors seem to suggest that at least one of those units (gitz) is going to get a major retooling as well as a new kit. Which is great news.

Flashgits, meganobs, and the big guns have all been seen. Add in the big thing and that gives us 4 kits. Kommandoz\tankbustas would be 5.

I was hoping for a Warboss kit, but our release window seems to be filled. (with at least 3 really cool things mind you)

Good god you must be rich!

I love basically everything they've done. I really want to pick up some slugga and shoots boyz sets of 30. We'll see how much GW gets from me before I decide.

Look in the background, behind it. Is it a new kit, or something old?

IMO, this new kit looks amazing. It's a pregnant deff dread alright, but it reminds me of a dump truck a little bit! I like the "big meganob look" with the head, and that klaw arm looks amazing. I convert almost all my models, so this thing looks like a joy to loot. Though I will agree, it looks less like a scrap-made looted vehicle and more like something made in a proper factory. Yet, looking at it I can see bits here and there that have been clearly looted from Imperial vehicles.

Since they're calling it a Gorkanaut, I'm assuming there'll be Morkanaut options, which will probably omit troop capacity (since it looks like the front opens up for boyz to come out) for a big gun.

It still amuses me that in this day an age, when almost everyone has a camera in their pocket that makes even cameras from 5 years ago look like children's toys, that these leakers still can't take a decent photograph.

I think this thing may have treads...

I was talking about the screen, upper right corner. New box art, or old Nobz box set?

Apparently there are both a Morkanaut and a Gorkanaut, with the one we have a picture of having a transport capacity of 6, which seems very underwhelming. 3 meganobs is better than nothing I guess.

Perhaps we should call them 'leakers'?

Would GW really be able to pull off some viral marketing?

Wow so i guess the kroothawk rumors are true... Too bad really. Hopefully there is more to come and what kroothawk has listed is just first wave... GW can keep literally every model that is listed in his rumor and they can keep two of those Gorkgants... I really don't care if the rules for that thing make the riptide look balanced I will not be spending money on that...

"RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE"

I'll reserve judgement until I get to see one properly, and with all the various build options.

It looks pretty lame, imo. But then I don't like the Stompa either.

The "fat" walker with the iron "apron" thing never really appealed to me.

Wow. Those rumors are exactly what I was wanting.

Smaller than the stompa, bigger than a dread!

A big Klaw and loads of dakka (love those rokkits on top).

I don't mind if it's a transport, since stompas are, already!

Maybe that big slab of metal on the front is an assault ramp!

I want one (and maybe two!).

I think the yellow paint job's a little too neat, and I didn't really remember Bad Moons as just painting stuff yellow. I always thought of Bad Moons as loads of bling and yellow with black flames.

Has anyone checked out the-waaagh forum recently? Unfortunately it's down again. That's karma for good news!

It's the Wolf Guard Terminator Box set. Yeah, I got nothing better to do

Carrying 6 might be usefull. If the rules stay similar I will put my big mek with the KFF and a unit of 5 burna boys with 3 meks.

I do that with my battle Wagon for the cover save and to repair up to 4 HP a turn.

I am sure it is a deliberate choice on the part of GW to use a potato for these photos so not too devalue White Dwarf. Want high res? Buy the magazine.

I need a side shot of the Walker to understand how that front plate fixes on as it looks off but nothing a bit of plasticard won't fix.

Is it just me or is there a new boyz kit too? They look different to the current set

look stock to me, but then my Orks have been kitbashed and converted so much that my judgement may be impaired....

These are the same ones taking pictures of those pie plate flying saucers and spouting off about secret cool guy knowledge from a friend of a friends mom.

Oh Yeah, its smaller then a stompa, and twice as much on the price. It flies, as well, and has lightning spouting out of its hindquarters.


As for the Orks as a whole, I'll hold what I have and not hope for anything. That way I'm not going to be disappointed when GW fails do deliver, yet again.

I wish I could be positive about it, but everything I've heard and seen on my end doesn't bode well for the Orks next couple of months...



In a word, underwhelming.

I'm guessing it's the orky equivalent of the Dreadknight (and everyone else's recent giant walkers), and will have similarish stats.

So here's hoping GW have had the sense to move dredds and kanz out of the HS slots in the new dex... a walker list could be a lot of fun. Or are we just supposed to make do with Unbound lists for anything cool like that? :( An option to take it as a warboss's (or big mek's?) personal transport would be extra-cool

Modelwise, I like the way it bridges the gap between the look of the kans/dredds vs the Stompas.

Some shoulder plates the boyz are using may be new stuff,
I do not believe they have these spicky bits before?

New sprue?

The walking junk pile is, well, ugly.
