Yep, I'm not at all worried if we will or won't get a new codex. What I'm worried about, is if it will be any good.

Evidence of what?
And what are you smoking ?

It's a box with legs and some gubbinz, just build your own if you're worried about the cost

I was trying to come up with measurements. Looks like 11 cm high to the top of chassis without gubbinz, 11 cm front to back, torso is 4.5cm wide, shoulders/legs are 7 cm wide and max width with arms is 10 cm. This based on standard large oval base of 120x90 mm.

BTW, I notice that Gorkanaut gets Rampage (+d3 attacks if in CC with more enemies than friends), while Morkanaut doesn't.

Well so far underwhelmed by this one, not what I expected really considering this is a much anticipated ork release tbh.

Its also just the first new thing they have shown

I hope you can put cans inside of it, I want Ork nesting walkers

I think at this point anyone thinking we may not be getting a new codex is... uh.... tainted.
As for the G/Morkanaut, I love it, stats or no stats. It's Orky as hell. I'm going down to order one in the morning. (Yes I could do it online now, but our local GW guy is a top bloke).

There are currently no force weapons in the Ork codex, if we were given the force spell, and we're not given force weapon SC in the faq, therr must be new rules coming soon

pretty much, yeah. Bunch of pessimistic grots up ins, yo

Currently liking the Gorkanought, will be ripping the legs off, taking the KFF along with it, replacing legs with LR treads, and giving the legs to a Riptide along with the KFF and make one of them a Custom Mega Dredd

The conversion opportunities are endless

That's a top idea.

... somebody talk me out of spending $420

*edit* never mind, it appears there is no price break for buying any of the collections vs pieces

The good news though, is that the Stompa will keep it's current $115 price! (At least, that's what it looks like so far.) I was afraid that with the release of the GorkaMorkanaut, GW would use it as an excuse to raise the Stompa price significantly.

Maybe Orks will treat all transports as assault!

Yeah, I don'T think it'l happen either...

If I collected Orks I think I would be preordering the big kit with the stompa etc in it, that looks like a load of fun.

The model is growing on me at least. The legs are too small, but it should be a fairly easy conversion to lengthen the shin by 10mm and bulk them up a bit. Maybe drop the hip and move it forward a bit and shorten the belly...

Nice Sir.

I think about jet engines (Stormtalon maybe...) or mag-field generators (like Nebuchadnezzar from Matrix) that would help Morkanaut to stride lowly and slowly above battlefield...

Read my mind. When I get one, though it will probably not be till the codex drops, I plan on doing almost exactly that. I can already envision a much more MegaNob-like posture and feel.

Was just thinkin'.. and..

Basically if you add tracks to the Gorkanaut, the lower half is the Battlewagon front.. The head would be a turret on the back end of a BW.. and..

look at the left killabot, 2 Shooting Weapons!

Kanz with 2 ranged weapons would suit me just fine

They all look pretty good together.

Rokkits/KMB might actually be worth taking if the Kanz were able to dual wield them, and if we have any way of Outflanking walker units, dual skorcha Kanz would be a real nightmare to backline units; hell eating 6D3 overwatch shots to any over-ambitious marines just sounds delicious. *drools slightly* Let this be true and not just another classic mistake by GW...

I picture the GorkaMorka-naught hopping like a frog, crushing all beneath it's huge iron bulk

so lengthen the legs a bit and add loads of spikes (and the odd casualty) underneath

That bundle looks ded stompy!

I look forward to this new addition to a new edition.

Although now that the lost link has been found between Killakanz> Dreads > [Gorka/Morka-naut] Stompa I can't help but wonder will there be more for me to spend my hard earned teef on?

oh wait I could just buy two.

Apologies if these Gorkanaut pics have already been in the thread, I didn't recall seeing them

Lol I've got an old, munted battlewagon I might do exactly that with

I wonder if we see more releases tomorrow.

I join the discussion late in the day but I have to say I was very disappointed with the new gorkanaught, it seems a lazy sculpt if you can even call it a sculpt. It just looks like a box with legs arms and a head, we see much better conversions on Dakka regularly!

I think its a pretty good looking model and is very orky. Even if you dont like it, I think it has some great conversion potential.

Nope, weekly releases. Same thing next week. A kit and a codex if lucky. If not, the following week.

I do like both gork and mork flavours. Will wait to see what else comes and book before ordering though

I think it will look better if the head was taken out of the chest and put above the shoulders, which is what I'll be doing.
