I can see a sculpt for Wazdakka tbh, he is an iconic character for the Orks afterall..

He was in 1st edition too, as an example build in Freebooterz.

Removing Wazdakka would reduce sales of the Forge World biker boss model. Technically it's Zhadsnark, but I know it gets used as Wazdakka.

I'd just like to point out that we've had a plethora of rumors about what new units Orks will be getting. Everything from new Kommando / Tankbusta kits, a dual Buggy kit, a new huge squiggoth-type unit, a new dual Deffkopta unit... etc.

At this point, the "Pregnant Deff Dread" has pretty much been confirmed, and that comes along with these rumors from Kroot...

The new mid size stompa thing looks like a pregnant Deff Dread. Comes with various weapon mountings, including what looks like a KFF.
New Gretchin models, including a grot oiler.
New mega nobs, not plastic versions of the existing.
Big Mek in mega armour with some interesting KFF like add ons.
Big Mek in Mega Armour with shoulder mounted weapons, maybe SAG but doesn't look like it.
Warboss is similar to the remodelling of the Helbrute from Dark Vengeance, it looks like a reworking of the AOBR Warboss with an attack Squig
New Pain Boy with a kind of Narthecium cybork hand.
Flash Gitz (They look particularly awesome, very much like Freebootaz with loads of variation in the kit).
Big Gunz. Total redesign.

Currently this is the most TRUE rumor that we've seen for the models in the Ork release. We have confirmed sightings of the new Meganobz, and the Gorkanaut.

If true, this means we can look forward to:
Gorkanaut / Morkanaut kit
new Gretchin box, or maybe just a couple new grot models included with other kits, like the Ammo Runt and the Grot Oiler.
Meganob box (including parts for Big Mek, possibly with multiple weapons?)
Warboss
Painboy
Big Gunz

That means this might be ALL we get. All the other model rumors might be totally false. No new dual Buggy. No new Deffkopta. I really hope I'm wrong.

Datsa good lad!

So 2nd and 3rd, but never had rules for teleporter.??

nazdreg was tha MAN!!! loved him in 3rd!!

Someone on The Waaaagh mentioned that they'd heard something about "grot tekkies" - maybe we'll get a plastic kit of various gretchin krew that we can add to our warmachines/tanks? Which would be pretty great; I've always liked grots.

Updated my post above with new tid-bits!

Wouldn't allow me to upload a pic, not sure why but I included the links.

As I recall (Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I have a dreadful memory) his telyporta stuff is just fluffy lore. It's from the Purging of Kadillus. Nazdreg has telyporta tek that he shares with Ghazghkull, for his invasion of Armageddon.

Was the teleporta fluff not added in 4th?

I think you're right, it is mentioned in the description of the attacks on Piscina if I remember correctly.

I think the first mention of Tellyportas dates back to late 2nd, early 3rd, back when the Piscina War was an actual narrative campaign played by some studio folks including Adrian Wood and Andy Chambers, if memory serves.

I've also noticed that the Morkanaught has wargear listed as two rokkits, but if you look at the picture above, it has 4 rokkits on his arm.

Perhaps the rokkits are twin-linked?

Could be, but plenty of ork models have single rokkit launchas represented by multiple rockets. Just look at the Killa Kan arm for an example.

I wonder what points something like a teleporter, would work out at ?

Oh man I hope that's Nazdreg...

HA! Phil Kelly messed up his quote...

Just finished reading the text, it does indeed say its twin-linked rokkits and big shootas. Gorkanaught and Morkanaught both have twin-linked rokkits and big shootas.

After reading it all, I'm leaning more towards to Morkanaught - its cheaper base + KFF + 4 str 8 shots (2 are twin-linked, 1 blast, 2 ap2s). It's more of a vehicle killer. I just wish it were a large blast!

Unchanged Ork lore is a good thing, and nothing about the Gorkamorkanauts seems out-of-character. If anything they're super-orky. From the descriptions it seems there's 2 Ork pilots in the kit: one on the shoulder (we've seen him peeping around the "cowl" of the 'naut.) and one thatsits behind the big gun arms to shoot, which sounds like a really interesting bit.

I'm very curious about the kustomizing options we might have to get that thing in a better pose. I'd much rather have it looking stompy instead of waddly.

I agree. And with the KFF it'd fit in with a couple large mobs of boyz.

The appeal of the Gorkanaut will increase significantly if it is possible to put a Big Mek in Mega Armour with a KFF inside it, with a couple other Mega Nobz to keep him company. One can dream....

Yeah, I'd love to see how 2 Morkanaughts play with a bunch of boyz around. Would be pretty interesting.

Or just stick Battlewagon treads on the bottom. There's a lot I could see happening with this guy.

I'm surprised by the number of people who want to put the KFF right on the orkanaught. I'd think it would be better inside with a mek.

I guess the negatives on that are that it takes space inside and takes and HQ slot and is 35* more points.

I'm thinking it may be likely that KFF functions like the Dark Angel's powerfield generators, i.e.:


Rather than how we are used to running it as a bubble from the hull of a battle wagon.

Not bad. 300pts for a 5HP AV 13 walker with a KFF, IWND and some AP2 blast weaponry seems alright to me.

It's pretty godawful actually.

In comparison to some really rather broken units (e.g. Riptides, saw a Riptide comparison earlier), yeah, it isn't that great. However, Orks desperately need some decent, ranged AP2 and, unless the Codex brings more elsewhere (flashgits, perhaps), this may be the go-to option. Orks also appreciate some decent AV. Yes, the BW is AV14 at the front, but due to its length and thinness, it's ridiculously easy to get round to that AV12 side. AV13 front and side with 5 HP is pretty good, especially with the new vehicle damage tables.

I think the extra hull point, plus IWND, puts it on roughly the same durability with a landraider, perhaps a little less. Add in the KFF and the better weaponry, and that extra 60 or so points is good value.

I guess we'll see when the Codex is released, but I'm hopefully for the Gork/Morkanaut.

But at 300ish pts would taking two mega dreads be a better value? Av13 front and side with a 5+ invul and 3hp each. 2bigshootas and a killkannon str 7 ap3 large blast.

A single small blast and a BS 2 shot on something approaching landraider cost isn't what I would call decent ranged AP 2. The SAG and Zzapp guns seem like better options.

It probably is more survivable than a battlewagon. It also costs a lot more than a battlewagon. At best you would want one of those things to act as a flank screen to protect your battlewagons. It might just be wide enough to do that.

Not sure how these things have 'better weaponry' than land raiders. I'd much rather have twin-linked lascannons or assault cannons plus multi-meltas.

I just going to go ahead and say it now. If the new codex doesn't give us at least one reliable ranged anti-vehicle option, I wont be putting my Orks on the table anymore. Too big a pain in the ass to get that Klaw all the way to the opponents back edge. I'll still model and paint them, but damn if I'll spend another editions slogging it for three turns to even stand a chance to punch a vehicle to death.
