I have thirty of the old Manz, and it took me ages to get them together. I doubt i'll need any more, unless they change the equipment options or something.

Gorkamorkanaught looks interesting, but tough to justify for the price, especially since it is just ging Orks something they already have in spades. Low-to-mid str firepower. Might be interesting as a warboss delivery system though...

As long as we don't suck I don't care, as I am not even slightly competitive in 40K, I'm that guy that laughs as you table him (as long as it's not done in some boring, Taudar/Death Star/Cheese manner).


It may be selfish, but I hope we aren't too good, I like where we are at, if you see an Ork player, you know they are an Ork player because they love Orks, and are generally part of a fun subculture . That being said, lots of options would be nice!

/tg/ is the Traditional Games section of 4chan. It isn't that bad, but sometimes you can find things that are.. pretty disappointing, to say the least. Threads on 4chan only exist for as long as they are active, so once people stop posting in them they get lost forever. Unless someone archives them, that is.

Oooooh love the 'naut in red!!!
Pretty excited about that new model, which does not resemble, as far as I know, any model from any other army: a sturdy transport walker
Still, a bit disappointed by the lack of Fire points

It's going to be slow (if we want to shoot with it) but very resistant ... what about using it with 6 boyz to claim an objective late in the game?
Or in an Unbound army, with 6 Warbosses!!!

Also, wondering if it's going to be possible to take "squadron" of those

Stikk bommas are special among ork society for one reason - They know when you pull the pin out of a stikk bomb you throw the bomb not the pin!

Anyone pissed that hell turkeys can fry boys in battle wagons now. Used to put my loota's in one as aa.



Its hard to be awesome, when your playing with little plastic men.
Welcome to Fantasy 40k

If you think your important, in the great scheme of things. Do the water test.

Put your hands in a bucket of warm water,
then pull them out fast. The size of the hole shows how important you are.
I think we should roll some dice, to see if we should roll some dice, To decide if all this dice rolling is good for the game.

I'm actually really excited for this release.

Never collected Orks, so it should be fun.

That's a good catch, and I can only hope it's true. If Kans could act as gun dual platforms, I'd be more apt to bring em out of storage. Right now, they are just too weak for what you pay.

That's the thing about Ork players.

Most don't care how competitive they are as they are incredibly fun to play and convert.

5HP, Grot riggers for IWND, a KFF and some meks on the inside make it quite survivable, and 4 S10 attacks are nothing to laugh at. Still, I'm not sold on that thing quite yet. My Evil Sunz heart favors wheels and tracks over legs and pistons.


20pts for Grot Riggers
looks like 30 or 50 for the KFF
Meks @15 pts each, min 5 (currently, this could obviously change) = 75 pts.

You're looking at 125+ points just to keep this guy alive, so he can waddle 6" a turn, and still be taken out by a melta shot.

I really, really dig the model. I really, really like the concept. Without a few special rules that aren't listed on there, or a dirt cheap starting point cost... Although as someone else said, this would at least be another source for a KFF for the boyz. Keep melta away from him and he's got a good chance of shrugging off most fire.

An excuse to build more killa kans? I'm OK with that.

/tg/ is the Traditional Games section of 4chan. It isn't that bad, but sometimes you can find things that are.. pretty disappointing, to say the least. Threads on 4chan only exist for as long as they are active, so once people stop posting in them they get lost forever. Unless someone archives them, that is.

This. Plus they automatically get pruned after clearing a set number of posts or images (you can keep posting, but the thread no longer bumps to the top anymore and eventually dies when it hits bottom).

And sometimes direct linking things break even when the thread is still active.

As it has been my favorite kit since I got in to 40k, and my avatar, I can do nothing but agree. More Kans is the best thing that could happen.

2 gun Kans (instead of gun/ccw) is HUGE for killa kanz. No more mini-dread, they're now basically a war walker! Puts their BS3 to better use!

Kans with more guns would be fantastic. They'd be walking gun platforms, able to sit back and zap away! There must be some trade-off for this, like an increase in points or something. Kanz with IWND, dual guns and their natural BS3? Totally changes the game.

I'm thinking that I may have to build some converted Killa Kans covered in Kustom Mega Blastas. Totally suicidal, but very shooty.
