Not seen any. Would be nice.

Looks to me more like the Mega Gargant, but with troops instead on gun batteries.

If we have a unit entry, however, we can convert the GAK out of it instead

I'm really surprised people are still asking considering you have been posting this over and over. What more do they need?

Pictures, stats, rules, money

I'm still hoping Warbuggies/Trakks get something to make them viable. I doubt they'll get any significant stat boosts, but hopefully a decent points drop or something. Turning them into an attack bike sort of unit could also work, but I don't really see that happening since they fit better with vehicle rules.

Still, decent points drop, maybe some better weapon/wargear options. I want to field buggies dangit!

I'd love to see some stats/points change to buggies. I adore scratch building them, and that would give me a reason to build more.

HI again peeps. I was going to update the new stuff but it seems someone beat me to it Thanks Mod who did that

Jeremy Vetok wrote an article in the white dwarf... I wonder if he wrote the codex this time around. I myself am hoping for kelly again. Anything but ward!

I'd love a Vetok book, the Skaven book is great fun.

Where are these from?

Never seen these before.

Kromlech Juggernauts.

From one of the excerpts in WDW, Phil Kelly is quoted talking about the Orks, so I think we actually have him writing again. Which isn't bad! I like reading the current outdated codex, it has nice stories!

Thanks.

Awesome models. If GWs new ones are too expensive or rough, I'll the Kromlech ones.

Hi gents, so what we have so far is:

- a walker capable of transporting 6 models, with 4 CC Attacks at ST10, AP1 and in terms of range attack:
a blast ST8, AP2
2 Twin Linked Big Shootas
2 Rokkit Launchas (Which you might be able to twin link)
a KFF and IWND for maybe 250-350 points? maybe?

If I want to compare to something similar I can look at:
1 'eavy plate mekboy junka with KFF (that's AV12 fast vehicle transport 6, carries the KFF) and deffrolla
and join it with 2 more 'eavy plate Big Bom Mekboy junka.

The 3 vehicles are roughly the same cost as the walker, and:
- a lot faster with the ability to even go really really fast.
- 2 times ST8 AP3 Twin linked Large blast for 2 turns, which might not be as good against termies but will pack a punch with any other infantry
- 9 big shootas
- 9 Hull points - all with Grot Riggers
- AV12, not 13
- 3 Deffrollas giving 3D6 attacks at ST10

So I'm not seeing a clear winner but I can definitely see competition, and I am concerned with the speed of that walker. It tries hard to be good at many things but it might come short in every niche:
1) as a transport: only 6, no fire point
2) as an assault walker, only 4 attacks, no means to go very fast (10.5" a turn if it runs) your opponent will see it coming from a mile and will be able to out maneuver it or shoot it before it gets to its target
3) as a shooting platform, it seems ok, with plenty of dakka but will have to focus all its firepower onto one target making its mixed ranged, strength and AP a challenge

Overall I think it's a great FUN model, but the cost (in points) which will justify its great flexibility at doing so many roles might be contested by more niche units.

Any grot riggers coming with the gorkamorkanaut?

I really just hope that they make regular bikers and buggies viable again, without nerfing the Dakkajet too hard. It unfortunately doesn't sound like Orks will be getting any new miniatures for fast units, so I probably have to make do with my old buggies, wartrakks and deffkoptas.

Last heard (from Kelly) he's on the fluff writing team, so if he's writing for the book it'll likely be fluff, not crunch.

I'm totally OK with that. His ork background was brilliant in the last codex.

Is that such a bad thing though? While I'd love Orks to be more competitive, I don't want them to lose that Orkiness that we all know and love.

Totally ok with Kelly fluffing Orks.
Man... that sounds... yeah, never mind.

With the stuff I'm reading from the excerpts of Saturdays WD, it wouldn't surprise me if the book can split into two different factions like Gorkamorka.

Good, he has the heart of an Ork! With him writing their backstory won't be changed, and we won't get something like Necrons becoming Tomb Kings in the future.

Orks didn't always reproduce with spores.

what's this 'junka' you speak of?

Forge world junka from Imperial Armour Volume 8: Raid on Kastorel Novem.

sounds cool enough. too bad the actual ork codex lacks anything that useful, or that gw doesn't produce it as a mainstream model. i've been tooling my big mek and his burna boyz around in a looted chimera for a long time.

The Junka is free to download from the Forgeworld website:

I use 2 manticores and rhino as base model.

Matt Ward hasn't written 40k rules in two years.

You guys do realize that Vetock wrote the DA codex.

Love the junka!!

and just bear in mind folks, that buggies, trukks and all the rest of our vehicles just got boned by the new rules that template weapons affect open topped vehicles.

What a resounding cause to go out and buy a $105 model that moves 6 inches per turn and has a 6 model transport capacity.

Things are already looking up

Im really looking forward to that "Mini-Stompa"! What do you guys think about it and possible rules?
