Lemme play devil's advocate here: we won't be getting a MC.

Chaos daemons didn't get new ones even when it would have suited them fine. The CSM daemon engines turned out to be walkers and fliers. Dark Angels didn't get any (though, according to rumor, Codex Marines aare getting some knight-sized thing). So, only two armies out of five got new huge multi-wound monstrous creatures. And something tells me that orks won't be getting it either. I know it's counter-intuitive, as ork MCs have often appeared in fluff... But then again, Forgeworld already has those covered and GW seems to love running against the tide.

So, a big kit is to be expected, but my money's either on a large cannon or tank.

I would be totally fine with that. Heck, a large cannon is completely orky .

Meh, I'd be fine with no release at all. My Orks are doing brilliant as they are. My army's also a Speed Freek Army, and I have a feeling there'll be an Evil Sunz Supplement, and I really don't want to have to buy two codexes to make my army play at its peak of effectiveness.

Yep, a large cannon would be enough to make a lot of ork players happy. I doubt the are making another huge tank because the battlewagon is already making a lot of money for them (though I wouldn't mind a looted leman russ equivalent).

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

I'm thinking a 5W MC, an ork inside a giant absolute mash of parts with grots pulling levers and firing shoulder weapons. Mega KFF, hopefully he'll just have a meganob on the end of a stick for a CCW. Poor armor save but FNP mechanic where grots repair things. Or maybe you can restore wounds by lowering S, A, I, T, by one per wound so it just breaks and gets smaller and smaller until its just a meganob or something.

That would be really cool. Not sure how likely though. Maybe well get a squigoth on its hind legs ripping up the show?

1. Go to FLGS on a 40K game night.
2. Announce to no one in particular "I have over 10,000 points of Space Marines".
3. Sit back and watch as some 30-ish Neckbeard who still lives with his parents not only disputes your claim, but goes on to describe his 30,000 points of Blood Angels and how he has been playing since Rogue Trader days... And yet you will have never seen him either play 40K or that army.
4. From here, you have several options. Continue the conversation, or just end it. Either way, I guarantee you will waste 1+ hour of your life talking to this guy. Have fun!
