There's no reason to think that orks are going to get another £60-70 kit.

Space marines, dark angels and chaos daemons didn't get anything bigger than a normal vehicle. I don't think that the Astra Militarum are going to either. Three big walkers in eight releases is hardly a solid indication that the next codex will haveone, especially when orks already have a super-heavy walker.

I think that a couple of infantry boxes (probably meganobs in one and something smaller in the other), a new vehicle (with the inevitable alternative build(s)) and one other medium-sized box (I'm guessing buggies) would be the most likely scenario.

Yeah, we got enough walkers. Killa Canz, Deff Dreads, Megadreads, Mekadreads, Stompas... a new tank would be nice. Something shooty.

Spoiler:

Also, other than the no brainer stuff, like the meganobs, I'm leery of these rumors, especially the abundance of grot stuff. I remain very keen to see what the new 'big' unit for orks will be. I'm hoping for a tank, rather than a walker.

Every time I see that mini, I want to go to there.

But yeah, my gut instinct is that this is too much wish list, and sounds like someone read a rumor board and repeated it to the OP. Especially the increase in Grots. I love grots, really, and want to believe, but its just not realistic in consideration of the direction of recent releases.

I'll be cautiously optimistic, but realistically expect there'll be a couple new big kits and a codex full of recycled stuff, then a couple dataslates/supplements for maybe Goffs and very likely Speed Freaks. Whenever it comes out.

I really hope this comes true! I have 3 full strength Stormboyz units ready to go if it does. Look out Flyers, Waaagh!

I really want this too, but I can already hear space marine space marine players complaining that their jump packs cant do the same.

They aren't orks, so tough

Marines get all sorts of stuff Orks don't, after all

The same rumors from OPs post can be found here and have been floating around the internet for a while already. As in some go back to 2012..

http://www.talkwargaming.com/2013/12/ork-rumors-2014.html

I don't trust the validity of these rumors being "new' due to that. Some may turn out to be true, but most of them prolly will not be.

Additionally GW usually does not add a large amount of totally new models, with the massive amount of grot stuff alone that would be more new models added to a model line in 1 codex than has ever happened.

Yupp it will be "Orks are soooo OP"

As for a shooty tank, I know I'm really (really) biased but they should bring out a Mekboy Speedsta (or something similar).

I'm guessing if they don't go for a tank it will be a squiggoth or something.

That's in addition to the buggies and meganobz that we assume are coming.

I'm going to be pretty disappointed when it turns out to be non of these. Trying to resit the thought that anyone could be right about the new models.

That's before we even know if they are coming this year, could be altogether wrong.

Well, with the Necron Flying French Bakery, IG Vendetta Spam, that fething Chaos Flying Toaster and all manner of other nasty flying stuff to contend with, I wouldn't feel bad since we have little to counter them currently. This is kind of like an arms race, if they don't deploy Spam, neither will I. But, if Flying Spam appears, then stand by to release the Stormboyz Spam!

Hm... You know what I'd love to counter those superheavies?

ORK WAR ZEPPELIN.

Daaang, if they do that, I may even buy a superheavy

6+ FNP is interesting, but its still just a 6+. It wont help that much in the long run. I would prefer normal FNP but more expensive boys.

I'll believe it when I see it.

But wouldn't that be a superlight?

Not when orks do it.

[Disclaimer: Results may vary, War Zeppelin does not actually fly.]

Yeah, the War Waagh Zeppelin actually is a tracked, super-heavy jump-tank.

Approved, Exalted and pledged on kickstarter as soon as you set up the site.

What this man said.

I DO see the potential for a Relic Powerclaw variant with AP1 or something for your Warboss or BigMek.

I'm just ready for anything new for Orks, since that is my only playable army. Looking forward to seeing if they really are next after IG.

Going by current trends it will be

Codex - Someotherimperialgak next

then Codex - anotherimperialgak

then the supplement - yetmoreimerialgak..


Its almost as if they are avoiding releasing Orks

New, from Games Workshop, the New Imperial Porticus Potticus

Are your low leadership, low armor save conscripts soiling their munitions grade uniforms in the face of the enemy? New portable gastric relief devices from the Ministorum Armamentorium will provide +1 cover save within 6" to all Imperial Guard units as they no longer give off the foul stench of battlefield diahrrea.



This exciting new model retails for $48 USD, £37 GBP, or $237 AU

And there is an exciting supplement filled with 66 pages of exciting new lore and backstory on the Imperial Potticus, including how conscripts dig urinal ditches and a full page spread detailing how the Adeptus Mechanicus hand embroiders each page of Imperial toilet paper

Well played.

Wouldn't it give +1 LD, since they are no longer pooping themselves?

Hahaha. This thread is pretty funny.

So I found this thread immediately after posting in the Codex Impestus thread, complaining about the ugly Taurox, and GW, where is the Ork codex. Sorry to anyone who is upset about that.

Yeah, where is it GW? I just want some cool things. I'd love to see a full plastic kit for warboss. Just for some cool bits.

The main thing I would like to see is tanks. I would love for them to ditch looted wagons crap and guive us the tanks from Epivc

Lungburstas, gobsmashas, mekboy speedstas, and bubblechuckas.

BRING BACK PULSA ROKKITS. I really miss them. I miss all 2nd edition artillery though. Splatta cannons, squig catapults. etc.

Also, some gear options for Nobz would be good.

And this thread is now officially dead. In record time... Rumor... Salt... Debunk... Wish list.... Ridiculousness ...

In only 4 pages. Record time.

Sorry, had to say what i would like to see.

But as far as it being dead because of Rumor, isn't this a thread titled Ork rumours, perhaps in a rumor forum?

New Stormboyz rule:

Gremlins: A Stormboyz squad may attempt to assault flying vehicles during their turn. Roll on the following table before the movement phase if you wish to attempt to assault a flyer.

1...Wot Tha'? - Pushing their rocket packs well past safe limits to catch up with the flyer, the Stormboyz rocket pack explodes!!! the unit immediately suffers D6 casualties and the remaining models lose their rocket packs, becoming regular infantry for the rest of the game.

2-5 After 'Em Boyz! - The unit takes off like a shot after the flyer, and gains Vector Strike at Strength 6 against flying vehicles for the turn.

6 - Waaaaaaaagh! - An overzealous Stormboyz uses his rocketpack to ram the flyer. While the unfortunate Stormboyz is immediately removed from play, the flying vehicle immediately suffers a Penetrating hit. Inspired by their comrade's action, the remaining squad gains Vector Strike at Strength 7 against flying vehicles for the turn.

I'd take that any day of the week.
