i imagine that the WAAAAGH ( say it right, with caps lock on) will become an army wide psychic test in the psychic phase that will give them old school fleet in the shooting phase.

my thoughts anyways.

Thats... actually pretty plausible. If its a psychic thing then it could be Weirdboys that have all the rules.

THERES STILL HOPEEE

Wow, flash gitz look awesome, I love the standard leaked terrible picture, was that picture take with a shoe? haha

Hrm, they're on a 40mm based? Do you think that'll be standard for Nobs now?

The 40mm base is probably due to their wide stance, big gun and all the boss poles. They might tip over easily if that had been on a smaller base.


We also need to put out a memo or something to tell people not to use a flash when photographing glossy paper.

Big gun pics up on warseer they look awesome. Plastic shokk attack gun too. Those guns better have rules befitting their size!

Hello there.

Pfft... Sneaky git, ninja'd by seconds.

Doubt they will change the current nob kit. I think FG only have 40mm bases because they would fall off 25mm ones.

Actually thinking about FG... are they really much better than the old ones? They got 50% more shots than the best upgrade build, but losing Ignores Cover is actually a pretty big nerf: 25% less effective against marines in 5+ cover, which is about as good a target as you can hope for with them. So that's like a 10% boost in effectiveness and a 10% drop in price, but they lost some armour (probably not worth much, but something).

They are certainly quite usable now, but they aren't really offering anything that shoota boys don't at a similar cost.

I'm still going to buy them, because the models are amazing, but I wouldn't say they are any indication that the new codex will be generally powerful. They only got buffed to be on a par with the better 4th edition units.

Wow... Those Flash Gitz. Just Wow.

To me, yes. BUT, remember I love the Gorkanaut and that seems to be unpopular.
But on the flip side, I did tell you all that the Flash Gits were AWESOME. And you haven't seen all of the head/bits variants.
Ha I probably should read the thread before replying.

Those big gunz are quite a lot bigger than I was expecting.

Three different energy weapons is interesting. Wonder if they are all the same rule with different models or three totally different weapons? One looks like the Hand of Gork and another looks like a Bubble Chukka.

It could be the case that these new guns don't exactly replace the old ones. They seem very different, so maybe the old kannon/lobba/zzapp guns are simply getting retired and these are a new take on the idea.

Don't like the buggy-style wheels for artillery, but some obvious conversion potential there. It seems just about possible that these could be a dual-kit with some buggies, although that seems unlikely.

The mek in front of the big gunz looks like he might be part of the unit. Wonder if meks replace runtherds as artillery leaders, or are an alternative.

EDIT:

Looks like the gun carriages are almost identical, with only the weapon and that door/shield bit changing. I guess that means one gun per box, like eldar artillery. Also probably means they cost similar to eldar artillery, which is going to hurt.

Did we already see the kan with two guns from that picture? Looks increasingly like they will give us that option. I guess they want everything that could be built from the kit to have rules.

Wow, the gitz are amazing.
The gunz have much bigger carriages then I was expecting.
Very happy to see a brand new SAG too.

This release is looking very expensive!

Lol, no worries. Personally I love all the kits and very thankful i can add to existing force rather than start again. The whole lot looks ace. Is the shokk attack gun clampack or from the Meganobs kit do you know? Hoping that gun batteries are affordable, so much dakka, so little time!

I know nothing about packaging or pricing or rules, sorry

God, my local store manager is going to laugh as soon as he sees me walk in the door today. I swear his eyes will be £ signs.

Nice big gunz. Wonder if there's different rules for all 3 or are they just different looking zzap gunz?

That one MAN in the picture is completely underwhelming, however.

Oooh man, thoze MANZ and dem gunz....

soooooo broke already!!!

And more Bad Moons. I know it's likely just an aesthetic choice to present one themed army for all the new stuff, but I'm still hoping it means Nazdreg is coming.

i dont think that's a new sculpt on the SAG, looks more like they sculpted the energy tails on the existing one.

Will gitz count as two models for transports now they're on 40mm bases?

please gork and mork, lets this be true!

The back looks higher and different, I'm not sure that's the same grot model it's sucking in. You could be right though.

Is it just me, or do those Big Gunz look like they could very easily be made into buggies?

Still the possibility of a buggy/big gun combo kit, I'd wager.

Ahh, time to use some zoom to see if I'm likely to lose some money soon!

Whaaaaat?

Other than the big guns, which we can only guess at, we can see in the pic, the new grot gunner models, a new model standing in front of the guns (a mek? that a 25mm base isnt it?), a SAG, and a very very yellow meganob. Plus the walkers they used for the one-click bundle.
I'm pretty sure the SAG is new, and not just with greenstuff on the orbs.



I simply don't know what to think about the big guns without more pictures and the rules for them. One per box is possible. Kans barely get all of their bits on one box with no duplicate weapons.

The grots are going to be great for modelling onto other stuff. Loads of grabby hands.

is it just me or is that this time GW paint job for the Ork models is really bad? that single MANZ, Shock Attack and the Mek look really meh for GW paint job.

Its either that I hate seeing Orks in this particular Hue/shade of yellow or either the painter had nothing but a yellow bottle to paint his models with, and didnt even consider using any other color.

As for the models the Gork/Morkanaut and the Big Guns are both very underwhelming.

Yes we finally got the new Big Gunz after waiting like an eternity, but in the end it was not worth the wait i must say ( this is just how I feel so I'm not trying to offend any one's opinion about the models )

The Manz and the Flash Gitz from the lil we've seen of them so far look good. Those I'm def getting.

I have to say the most exciting thing I saw so far was the GW logo made orky.

Yea not too sure about those big gunz, would need to see some more pictures, seems to be a bit much going on.

Dislike the buggy wheels and the front bumper things.

Its either that i am hating seeing them in yellow or all they did was use yellow and nothing else.

I'm inclined to agree. I feel if you're going to do Bad Moons you need to grunge it up a bit, not just make them bright, clean yellow.

That's precisely why I reckon these are a combo kit, they have that particular look where it's obvious the modeller has tried to (successfully or unsuccessfully) merge two quite divergent design aesthetics. Those wheels (identical to the trukks) and front bumpers (incredibly evocative of the old school Gorkamorka buggies) would be incredibly odd to see if the kit only made big gunz.

It's just so bad, and they're even using it for their promotional materials, and even the "how to paint" thing.

Definitely new SAG. Too different to not be.
