Choppa arm looks off because it is angled forwards, shortening it. And it seems to be a bit weedy because it isn't a big choppa, it looks like a powwa choppa with the cables on the blade head.

I think that pretty much confirms that Orks are going to be the baddies of 11th's launch box, if we hadn't had that confirmed already (did Valrak already say it in a rumor video or something?).

I’d love it if they made data sheets in 11th for Warlords and Warbosses so there was like a Lieutenant equivalent character for Orks. This kit would then be a good way of doing that

That’s kind of what the old Waargh banner nob used to be, so they could bring that back?

Not necessarily? There's also been talk about an Armageddon campaign set (like 500 Worlds, Into the Maelstrom, Eye of Terror), so it is still possible that this model ties into that.

Given that the WarCom article says to check back on Monday if you're an Ork fan, we'll find out more then - but I strongly doubt this is a model tied into the launch of 11th.

Note that I'm not saying that it is impossible for Orks to be in the 11th box, just that I think this is more likely to tie into a campaign book. But, as noted, we'll find out more come Monday.

Solo hero drops are also a thing GW does a lot now. They can even swap them out fairly fast too. Take the Wight King on Horse - that model wasn't that old and yet got replaced with a new version.

Or the new Tyranid Warrior Prime - a second mono pose mono build option coming onto the market instead of a single multipart kit.

No, I'm sure the Space Marines are the baddies like usual.

Why would Orks be showed off already if that was the case? GW had radio silence on the Tyranids until they showed off Leviathan. Same with the Necrons and Indomitus.

Fingers crossed for some form of Orky Battle Tank.

I love Speed Freeks, I love Dread Mobs. But there are a load of classic tanks that they could do in 28mm.

We got the beastsnagga feral ork wave, the speed freaks buggy wave, so time for a loota/mek/tank wave.

Didn't Valrak said something the box being around the £200 mark?

It was his speculation but it's a sensible guess imo.

Somebody needs to paint him wearing Jack Burton's shirt from Big Trouble in Little China.

He's probably right, but unfortunately Im not sure if I will go there. GW is getting wild with some of the prices again, and with no signs of stopping. £100 was already a psychological barrier and we are talking double that.

Was this meant to reply to someone else?

I like that model, especially the grot as everyone said. But I do wonder how big it is!

The embiggened Warboss of 3e was a big deal when he came along, I wonder how big they will get now?

Looks like a 50mm base, which the BL ork character also comes on, so about the same size as him I would think.

I'm hoping that the rumor of the wartrack returning is true. I miss those silly things.

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall warboss grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the teeth is in the mail."

The base size inflation is real. The 30k Primarchs are still on 40mms for their gameplay bases.

I am mostly huffing and puffing because all these massive bases take so much space in my display cases!

True, base sizes are growing, esp for named characters. My ork base sizes are all over the place though since I started back in 4th ed. Boyz are on 25s (even the new ones so they match) while nobz got moved over to 32s to stand out. meganobz and warbosses and other hqs like big meks and wyrdboyz are on 40s, and a couple newer ones on the bigger bases they came on. And buggies, as vehicles, I dont put on bases, but the trike is a bike so it does get one.



Any guesses as to what may be revealed monday? Rumors have boyz, grots, nob banner, bosses, wyrdboy, turret and trakk as starter which means etb, with possible multipart kits later. I could see grots staying an ETB kit like termagants and necron warriors, while boyz could see another crack at a new kit.

If the kill team rumors for meganobz is true, they probably wont show up either (possibly they will change to a 5 nob box with some grot riggers like how the stealth team changed.

Ork kits have held up well, but some could use replacement/expansion of options. Storm boyz, lootas/burnas, and nobz could all use updates. Maybe bikers too. And a couple older kits are just fine, but could have a sprue or two added to make cool new options, like the battlewagon and stompa.

It woz Orks wot started it!

3rd Ed Warboss was the first model to come with a 40mm round base.

Thats not completely true as necrons got a end of 8th campaign model in the form of Illuminor Szeras shortly before Indomitus and since Valrak is both talking about a end of edition campaign book with Orks and them in the starter I'd say this Warboss and whatever they show on Monday is for that book with more coming later for the 11th starter.

Also they probably didn't want to show this model yet but it was leaked

The new Warboss is a bit of a mixed bag. The Grot is awesome, of course, and the Goff version with the power klaw looks pretty good. I think all of his arms are definitely on the weedy side, which may be due to him having a massive torso. The previous plastic Warboss was all muscular arms and legs, without much in between. They've now gone for a more slab-like appearance. I hope the new Ork range gets some consistency, as the current range is a mixture of various sculptors and aesthetics, and covers the period from when the models were made from putty masters to full digital sculpts (with some dodgy early digital sculpts along the way). The low point was the krew models for the Ork buggies, which were truly ugly - I guess it's too much to hope that they will get re-done.

The choppa (and helmeted head option) both look like throwbacks to the 2nd ed monopose Goff Ork - it's weedy on purpose and I like it. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a new datasheet (especially with the Grot assistant) and loses the big choppa for a new powwa choppa that has even more attacks (but probably still take the claw).

So, whilst this of course aligns with Valrak’s rumours about Orks being in the 11th Ed Big Box? This could be something coming sooner.

The packaging in the original social media post is a straight forward character box. And it has various options. Bonce, Banner, Shoota, Squig or No Squig, CCW, Belt,

That’s…that’s way more options than we typically see on Big Box Models. And yes we see models parted out, feels very early for that packaging to be the one “leaked”

I’m wondering if this is for another, as yet unheralded book in the 10th Ed End of Edition range. Which may or may not be coming with other releases. And it’s those releases we might see some of Monday.

We've got an Armageddon book coming, so makes sense that this is for that.

Something about that Warboss just looks off to me. Not sure what it is. Hopefully it's just the photographers picking the worst possible angle again as they do so often.

Like most everyone else I like the Gretchin, albeit not his jaw. If they wanted to give him boss grot vibes they should have given him an iron gob instead. It's easy to fix, though, so no big deal.
