I dig the model but the rules aren't sounding so great from an assault perspective. It'd make a good gun platform but then what's the point in having an ap1 one claw on it if you only mean for it to be a shooty thing.

Far more interested in seeing more of the manz plus the gitz & gunz.

That 3D6 Kannon is really bad. You'll hit so few times it's not worth it, but I see where this Morkanaut is going.

Load up with Burnas and Meks and make it nigh on invulnerable with constantly repairing the damage.

Add the KFF and the Zzap Gun and it's good to go.

I'd say 200 points.

If it is, just take a Battlewagon. Cheaper on the pocket too.

I somehow fail to see how an average of 3 hits is "so few times, it's not worth it". It's pretty much equal to comparable weapons from other codices and roughly equals half a dakkjet in terms of hits.
It doesn't really hold a stick to the S8 AP2 blast, but then again, we don't know anything but the wargear about the Gorkanaut. If it's a lot cheaper, can transport more models or has some other awesome options, it might outmatch the S8 shooting of the Morkanaut.

I also find it highly amusing that you call the Deffstorm mega-shoota bad and go on to suggest the zzap-gun, which is literally the worst option in the whole codex right now.

Speaking of zzap guns, I really hope they completely redo their rules. Right now they are costed the same as a lascannon, while being worse in every way, even inferior to kannons in sheer AT capabilities.
If I get the money, I might buy and build the big walker as the Mek one, as I am a sucker for all things Big Mek. It is very expensive however, so much that buying a meka dread from FW is comparable in price.

I meant the Str 8 Ap 2 blast on the Naut, not the actual Zzap gun.

I wonder what grainy, too much flash, blurred new Ork picture we get today!! so excited, this is better than UFO hunting!

I have an urge to photoshop a blurry picture of an Ork in a 50s style flying saucer....

What is its transport capacity? can I assault from it? does it have tracks? is there a pixelated box of space wolves in the picture?


Answers man ANSWERS!!!!

It is not a flying saucer, its a superheavy jump tank. Its very flat and has the special ability "obduct". If the tank jumps over any independant character on the field, on a successfull roll that character is taken on board in a holding cell and has to roll against AV14 to escape. Characters that end the game inside the tank count as destroyed.

A looted saucer sounds pretty nice actually. Someone should put a Ork in the pilot seat and some wheels on this baby

Inspiration for a dakkajet conversion...

Was expecting a night scythe tbh.

OMG! I wonder what the stats are?


Also; Zoats Vs Hrud for DV replacement starter set.

Destroyed and probed, by Da Doc.

Lacking dakka... and "Upgrades". Needs more red and more guns.

WOAH, I bet the stats on that are great! And for the low low price of 139.99 usd (649.99 for new Zealand and Australia) You can add this beauty to your ork collection!

Is that with or without the dataslate?

HA! without of course. But there are a lucky 500 that can opt for the "Limited Edition" model that comes with the data slate and a custom flying base with build in rock scenery!! Only 399.99 usd (not available in Australia or New Zealand as it would be far to expensive for anyone to afford)

Only 500? those lucky buggers! this will sell out faster then the voidfield generator.

Exciting times, indeed! Orks!

I am reserving judgement on the "Pregnant Walkers" until I see some better pictures.

The lens flare pushed it over the top for me. Bravo!
I am having trouble adjusting to this weekly release mode. I don't think I'll pick this up any time soon. I have the stompa and three battle wagons. I just don't think it will be high on my list. I am really hoping for pictures of the meganobs. That's what I am waiting for.

How long before it appears on natfka?

Larry is uploading it now on bols, quick get there before goatboy makes a plastic dudesmen about it.

Laughs, flash glare and all. Pretty much spot on!

Just a few more tweaks.. Let me save it as 100x80... then blow up to internet standard size of 480x422... Just a few tweaks to brightness and contrast.. and voilá!

Now we need a good name for it. not too bright or imaginative. How about Killazoomer?

And the monstrous creature will be some sort of bigfoot... epitomizing stompyness.

Orkazoid?

UFO - umongous flyin ork
