No news yet. Sadly, the infos just trinkle in, one by one, with the weekly WD releases. So It's still 5 days till we get something new.

Gorkanaut looks horrible... Such a letdown :(

Also, the price makes me furious, I'd better just get the good old Stompa for 5 bucks more.

What happend to the other rumored releases?

The other relaeses including the Codex will proberbly follow in the next week or 2

Pretty much as expected, however, grot riggers giving it will not die - awesome!

Very good news. I can't wait to see all the new miniatures in detail.

Still on the standard Ork BS 2 then.

Its got lots of guns with "high armor value". I'm guessing front AV13? Can't be AV14... can it?

I'm also wondering if its an open-topped vehicle or assault vehicle?

Claw of Gork(or possibly Mork) is S10 AP1....nice.

Also it's nice to see the six model capacity confirmed.

That tantalizing text:
"plenty of hull points and nice high armours values".
Gonna be a long week.

Also, it's a walker, not. a super-heavy walker. I'm guessing to slot these as heavy support.

I like the grot rigger part, im gussing though some vehicles will lose grot riggers.


Edit or im reading it wrong and only the new walker has that.

Well, from the wording it seems to imply that the WND rule only applies to Gorkanaut's with riggers. I hope other vehicles don't lose them.

Transport capacity 6 is weird, min unit of Boyz is currently 10.

guys... grot riggers giving ¨it will not die¨ .....
WAGONZ just got bettur!
That is.. if they still can take em...

2burnas 3 meks

So two twin-linked big shootaz, two twin-linked rokkits, a skorcha(?) and a metric ton of S6 shots (on average heavy 10!). That's easily the most reliable anti-tank we have so far. The kustom mega blast also isn't too shabby.

Not to mention the idea of having battlewagons with IWND...

3 Mega-Meks. Bam!

Going by the wording, they just explain how grot riggers work in general. As in "ork vehicles". I think that's a good buff we see here. Need moar grotz

Here is me worrying about what 6 orks to put in that thing, I only have 3 orks half built on my road back to toy soldier nerddom. haha

I imagine grot riggers will see a price bump.

6 Orks... thats really something to think about. Depending on how many can shoot from the transport, that can be 6 lootas for even moar dakka, burnas for some crazed melta-squads, flash gitz for another flavour of dakka, nobz to crump things close an pers'nal, maybe a bunch of tank hunters for some tank hammer hillarity...

Well, the kustom-mega-kannon is nice, although it's similarity to the current kustom-mega-blasta rules implies that they haven't changed. I guess I'm going to stick to big shootas on my mekboys for the time being.

If it's only a walker rather than a super-heavy walker, that will be disappointing. It will be more vulnerable to damage, slower and less scary in close combat than a SHW, which is yet another argument in favour of stompas.

The doors don't look to have any shooting points, so I don't think shooting from it will be an option. Or limited at best.
After this rule glimpse I am very keen to see what else is in store for Ork rules.

What are the differences between a Super heavy and standard walker?

These ork rumors/news are just brilliant, shame they are trickling in though, I want a damn tsunami of news!

do you reckon we'll be able to assault straight out of the new walker? Cause I can't see anything that suggests it but then we haven't heard/seen much have we.

You can see it's strength 8 in the picture, so it's definitely not super-heavy.

6" more movement, D close combat attacks and stomp.

Thanks, yes that would make a lot of different haha.

Depending on points cost and hull points can still be v. Good, jut need to see that second half of the page!

Oh boy, more strength 6 shooting, just what Orks (didn't) need.

Still, that Dakkastorm cannon sounds pretty awesome. 3D6 shots, that means a maximum of 18 shots at strength 6 in a turn makes that the pretty clear winner of the wargear options.

I've got to wonder what purpose this will serve relative to a Stompa, ideally at a considerable cost reduction in points and have some brutal close combat attacks. Of course at 6 inches of movement per turn it really had better be able to shoot very well. Edit: Is this confirmed super heavy? So 12" move? Not bad if so...

Orks still need high strength shooting or fast and durable close combat attacks at high strength values. Something has to give. This does look like something useful after all. Maybe a foot Nob squad or some Meganobz with a warboss inside...


Edit....HAHAHAHA....it says don't let it fight Imperial Knights. What a gas. "Let something expendable deal with it." So I guess this is not the counter we needed for IKs?

Aha! So I was wrong! They are going real world, old school with the Gorkanaut. Instead of a 'jugger'-naut, it's a Gork (or Mork)-anaut.

The word 'juggernaut' was based on 'jagannatha' from Sanskrit, and was used to describe these huge carts bearing the image of a Hindu god. The British described them as crushing worshippers who flung themselves under the wheels in devotion (though a lot of people think that may have been bunk, and just misinterpreting a few pilgrims getting crushed in the press of worshippers).

So, from the looks of it, it might actually drag itself across the ground--and be able to crush foes under its bulk. Plus, it's an effigy of Gork (or possibly Mork). Nice!

Guys, it says that it's a walker on the first page (as opposed to a super heavy walker).

It also says that you should keep it away from Imperial Knights.

This is going to be a tremendous lot of low strength firepower, but coupled with the same familiar limitations of walkers.

I'm just gonna get a Stompa if this isn't a super heavy walker.
