"Orkses never lost a battle. If we win we win, if we die we die fighting so it don't count. If we runs for it we don't die neither, cos we can come back for annuver go, see!"
I dig how in a setting where giant, muscled fungus men ride Mad Max cars and use their own teeth as currency, the concept of little engineering dudes with beards was considered a step too far down the aisle of silliness.

Seen stuff, and as an Ork player I am massively hyped for it all.
No idea what waves it comes in, or if some is for the alleged/debunked starter or what, but all the models I saw are beautiful.
So here is a question: How do you think the current flashgit looks in comparison to the new ones? My local FLGS has one and I thought about picking it up now and then getting the plastic ones when they are released? Will they look nice next to each other or will it be like an old Kabal warrior next to a new one?
He's going to look a little underwhelming beside his new buddies, but that said I still love that model, and he'll make a good nob I think. I'd buy it anyway just to have it.
It's not goign to be like putting RT models next to current models, but his snazzgun is going to be way out of its league.
Make him a kommando or something.
I've bought that little flashgit model because I really enjoy it, I can't wait to see how he compares to these flashy, new gitz! Thank you for letting that little bit slip.

Either way, that's unexpected. I wasn't expecting to see anything from GW until mid-June.
There's no way that it could be WFB Orcs and Goblins, could it?
Bretonnians are slated for July, but Orks have been set up for june for months. It's very, very unlikely that WFB Orcs and Goblins are next.
First of all, it does appear that the early leaking image will be our cover, all the other faction sections use their codex covers for their sections in the Dark Millennium book.
Also something I find odd at first glance it appears to be the Ork's are the only faction with an additional section after their race description. 1 page of text and a full page artwork (simliar to the codex cover) of a Warboss named Grukk the Face-Rippa and his WAAAGH!
Possibly a new HQ or supplement?

Possible, but I doubt they'll add someone new unless they're re-introducing Nazdreg (or maybe Gorgutz, ha ha!). The sad thing about that particular piece is that it's already in the Ork codex - they've just coloured it, added a squig, and put a new warboss in place. Check your codexes - it's the illustration on page 5. Shame they didn't just expand on the story that image goes with - Volkrag and his assault on the Crimson Fists!

Haha, wow, pretty blatant. Even the bosses powerclaw/buzzsaw was in the original image, they just changed his body.

If there's one thing GW loves more than jacking up model prices, it's rehashing old artwork.
The fact that Orks are listed as having the Force, and the two new demon psyhic disciplines is interesting.
On the one hand, I've never been a fan of Weirdboyz in the Ork fluff. I like the machines, and the dakka, and the WAAAAGGH! So I'm not excited if Weirdboyz become an auto-include unit in any Ork list.
On the other hand, Orks with Force Weapons would be very interesting.
On the other other hand... I don't understand from a fluff perspective how or why Orks would be summoning demons. It seems like Biomancy, Telekenesis, and Pyromancy would be obvious disciplines to give to the Orks. But I'm going to assume GW doesn't think those powers have enough potential to "go wrong" in Orky ways... so they'll give us an Ork discipline filled with powers that have significant drawbacks to casting them, on top of the normal drawbacks of Perils.
Part of me is really looking forward to Orks getting a new book. The other part of me is really dreading what they might do.
Oh well, at least I've been having fun with my Eldar this past year.
There's a story in the 4th ed. codex about a demon bursting out of weirdboy'z head. That's the kind of narrative forging that I enjoy. Kunnin' but Brutal. Praise Mork!

There's more. But I can't.
But as I keep saying; I'm an Ork player, I love greenskins of any variety, and I was absolutely over the moon when I saw the stuff I have. I am saving money to drop on it all as soon as it hits. Even if I hate 7th, the models will be repurposed into something. Mantic or whatever.
hey squidbot thanks for all the info m8.
here is a question for you, the new Triple combo kit what 3 types of units are included in it? some say kommandos/ flahsgitz/ ardboyz that sounds weird. are they all special units or all of them are core units now?
Is the above rumor correct or is it that the triple combo kit is flahsgitz / tankbustas and hard boyz?? which again makes no sense.
I wish the box is Flashgitz / tankbustas and kommandos. the hard boyz can be made out of the existing boyz box anyways.
please answer as i have lost my sleep over this question. Please let me SLEEP

I don't believe the rumor that came from is legit. It just doesn't really seem right.
Tank bustas/Flashgitz/kommandos was rumored, but all three are extremely different.
Flashgitz are Nobz (unless they are getting Boyified) and the other two are Boyz.
Tankbustas and kommandos have completely different and distinct looks, the bodies, heads, legs and weapons would need to be different. (should be at least)
Bits for Tankbustas are already in the boyz kit for the most part anyway, with a rokkit launcha, tankbusta bomms, and well, that's mostly it. You could make tankhammers with a tiny bit of Orky ingenuity, while bomm squigs still need a plastic option. I think Kommandos and Tankbustas could be made from the same kit though. They're still boyz at the end of the day, and they both wear big backpacks ideally - just some are full of sneaky gear and others are full of rokkits!

I don't know, I guess it is me just really hoping. I love the tankbusta models because of how they are all decked out in tank treads and fun explosives, and they have their special rokkits. And the kommandos would also be done a disservice if they use generic boy torsos.
Also, can we assume that since all the finecast models on the website are "sold out" that those are the ones getting the rekits?
IE, Grot Guns, Ghaz,, Grotsnik, Snikrot, Big Mek, Weirdboy, Tankbustas, Zagstruk and Kommandos are all sold out, though that is probably me just hoping again
1. Are flashgits in their own box by themselves, like the current nob kit (best case scenario), or what unit are they with otherwise.
2. Are they still Nobs or have they been dropped back to being boyz?
I'd perfer them staying Nobs myself. Have flashgits be to shoota boyz what a nob squad is to slugga boys. Keep their melee beefiness despite the smaller unit size. If they are downgraded to a boyz' statline then having them in combat would be like assaulting something with lootas.

Sorry, no idea, I have just seen complete models, not what boxes they come in or sprues.

Pretty sure I don't like the model (from what I can see,) but I might still buy the kit for all those bits.
I could probably kitbash/scratch build quite a few other models just from that one kit.
The Deff Dread stays more or less the same and this thing is a AV13 4HP walker, or perhaps even a super-heavy walker? I feel that would be the most likely outcome.
