Why does the model need a frigging transport capacity?
Why?!?!?!!!
It has a transport capacity?
I was hoping to use their rules to loot a knight.
It's a walker not a Super Heavy.

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.

You sir are a Gem casually picking out the sneaky 2 gun killakan, unless some muppet at GW cant even build kans right
And is that little flamer truely my megaorkyplasmacannon? or is it just the angle? maybe the light? oh please be the light!.....
Not massively impressed with the sprues either :/ typically ork sprues are loaded with goodies, those are lookin alittle bare for addons, extras and conversion bits :(
PLUS! DID YOU SEE THE AWESOME DEALS?!?! I can get two for £130!!!!! ha! fools only buying one at £65....... oh.... wait.....
Hmm might just have to get the stompa kit instead.
Favourite Game: When your Warboss on bike wrecks 3 vehicles simply by HoW - especially when his bike is a custom monowheel.
Orks just really need some of their issues smoothed out. Rules wise they favor shooting, but they can't reliably krump armor outside of melee. Fluff wise they're also all about CC.
I'd be perfectly ok with this if it weren't for sixth and onwards being "fix your army weaknesses with allies edition". The time for such things is past and Orks need an anti-tank gun.
that last line is exactly what i've been saying for ages. other (non-ork) players would always trot out the same reply if i said something to that effect... 'well, that's what power klaws are for. orks are an assault army.' a slightly less often used argument is the zzap guns, which are fun, but not exactly reliable.
so why do space marines have lascannons and meltas and power fists? the same argument applies to pretty much any army with multiple options for cracking an adamantium box. why do the orks get short shrift, and are pretty much required to get either nobz or tankbustaz right up against the side of a tank to knock it out?

I'm thinking the Stompa will be better value for money.
You get a metric buttload of bits, it's bigger, better in game and looks a lot better too.

I mean, I don't play Orks, I never will, I can never take them seriously as an army..
But 210 dollars for a big pregnant tonka ork that's not even a superheavy? The rules for this thing better be phenomenal, because that price tag isn't going to carry the sales of this thing.

That's for two of them. Still crazy expensive though.

That was actually a pretty decent preview! Not overly cheesy, good showing of the model itself. Overall I think the GorkaMorkanaut is pretty decent; it seems a little expensive ($ wise) but not overly so. I am curious how it will stack up with the rest of the new army, but I am feeling mollified at the moment
EDIT: wait, I thought they were $85 for some reason. $105 is more on the definitely expensive side.

It should be a Super Heavy.
The lil guys are on a rigorous eating schedule. They've also been transplanted to the US permanently, so they'll be Super Heavy in no time.

Gorkanaut/Morkanaut as Heavy Support basically confirms what I've been thinking...they're an Ork equivalent to the Valkyrie or other vehicles with transport capacity that can be bought without needing to be a Dedicated Transport.

Sorry! That was for the pair of them. It's 105 USD for one. Two for 210 USD. So you save... 0 dollars on getting a two-pack.

Anyone notice they use the image from the 7E rulebook to identify Orks in the beginning? I'd bet good teef it's the codex cover!

They've done this before, release the big kit so everyone buys it BEFORE they see the rules. Then drop the rules the following week. I think the Riptide and/or Wraithknight did this.

Oh you guys are just paranoid, it has been so long and you are afraid of being hurt. Leaks and info seem to be followed really quickly by the corresponding codex lately. Besides, they gave us force ability on the psychic cards, which is evidence, right?
