I know it's been said but those ogryns look like absolute GAK!

Watch ogryns act as a mobile Aegis defense line.. lol

That would actually be a very interesting tactic.......if blob guard were as good as they used to be.


....or 3 Armoured Ogs, protecting the advance of 5 un-armoured Ogs....?

I could get on board with that.

It doesn’t matter what we look like, what matters is our plan.

(it would be cool if they got a mobile ADL type rule.)

This comment (above) wins!

That shield is just dying to be looted for my MegaNobz...

HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT MODEL FOUND!!!!!

Zyth:

I think I found the "Hidden in Plain Sight" IG image.
On the Tyranid Codex, page 9, on the first ArtWork (Phase 1: Invasion), you can see two vehicle with turret.
The one in the center (first from left side) is a random imperial tank.

The one on right (first from right side) is definitly a Taurox.

Nah! it's just a normal Chimaera meow

I so want to see Banegryn pick up a night lord and break his back on his knee. That would be a fun conversion

... meow...

I can't stop focusing on this.

I find it amusing how ogryns have tank treads as their armour....

Also I know we can always do it ourselves after, but I wish the ogryns had some wounds on their exposed skin. These guys just kind of run into the hot zones in a frenzy, I'd imagine they would have plenty of lacerations and small arms injuries - it would add to the realism.

Last time a Nob picked up a shield was.. fun.

Does anybody else thing that the Ogryn shields look like they can be interlocked with each other creating a "shield wall" rule?

Good catch! Be interesting to see if they get such a rule or not. Come on rules leaks!

Not really. If there were several different shields with the tabs on the sides alternating, it'd look more like it.

Deathwing Knights can also lock shields together without having extra parts sticking out, so why not these guys as well?

Actually if you look at some of them, the tabs are alternating. At least the two that I can still see are.

There are. It looks like Brimley-gryn's shield could interlock with Bane-gryn's one.

Oh yeah, my bad. I looked at the pictures again and didn't see it. Good catch, guys.

Re: interlocking shields.

It would make more sense if they were all high on the left and low on the right instead of one or the other. As-is, the shield wall doesn't work if one of them gets shot, or if two of them switch places.

The shield wall doesn't work for the Ogryn, certainly, but a normal human would be just fine cowering behind those

"Hey you guys...how do the shields go together again?"

Between these guys and the Taurox, it's shaping up to be a great month for Orks players!

Sucks to be an Imperial Guard (or whatever the hell they want to call it now) player though...

I'm going to laugh really hard (and then cry) if the Ork release turns out to be a bunch of vehicles that would look amazing for IG but have very few Ork bits

Not particularly interesting, tbh, though Guard never have interested me.

One of those Ogyrns looks like Bane from The Dark Knight Rises though, which is great because it's a good opportunity to quote the film during the game. In-game film quoting can be very funny.

"So what happens if the blast marker scatters onto your Ogryns?"
"It would be very painful"
"But you're T5"
"For you"

"Right, I've got a Farseer, 2 units of 5 Avengers in Wave Serpents, 5 Warp Spiders with Exarch and two War Walkers with dual scatter lasers in my list. What about you?"
"It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan."

"Ok, let's see if Night Fighting is on."
*rolls die*
"Right, so Night Fighting is on for the first turn"
"Oh so you think darkness is your ally? But you merely adopted the dark, I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man and then it was nothing to me but blinding!"

"Ok, you need a 5 to glance... Aw, damn, that's the last hull point, you've wrecked my Rhino"
"I wondered what would break first, your Rhino... or your Land Raider."

Maybe bullgryns are smarter than ogryns? Doesnt take alot of training to say. "Ouch that hurts! Block the hurt with the metal thingy". Also i know folks dont like the armored or scout sentinels. But i hope they increase the unit size from 3 to 5 or more! It would make running them more feasable.

Or it can be horrible and repetitive. Like when someone quotes Monty Python's Grail for the umpteenth time. Or Braveheart, or Top Gun, or Red Dawn, or Aliens, or...

Please don't attach non wargaming images to Dakka.....



Surprising how zero rules are floating about, I would have expected something relatively solid by now..

These are all just White Dwarf leaks. The book doesn't appear to be floating around at all yet.
