Definitely new SAG. Too different to not be.

Plus, why would they show one old Finecast mek alongside an otherwise all-plastic army...

its not just that its painted bad, Its as if this ugly bright yellow used is straight out of the bottle with no shading or any sort of detail added on top.

I'm not a big fan of Bad Moons but I've seen great armies on this very site painted in Bad Moon colors and they look good.

the yellow is hurting my eyes and not helping at all in appreciating the models.

come to think of it the yellow is like the yellow in lord_blackfang's crazy avatar.

Seems just too unlikely for me, a kit that could be either a buggy or a big gun? Unless its one of the rumoured grot vehicles?

I think it's more likely the sculptor had ork kit bashers and modders in mind.

By the way, if you look the two right side big gunz, you can see that the right (Left as you look at it) shield has a space for the gunner to look through as he stands on the gunnery platform.

I would say the gunz will be one platform per box. I only say that as all three platforms look very similar. One looks like it might have small treads in place of wheels and it definitely has a different shield but for the most part they're the same.

Hopefully they've done that to make room for more gunz and grotz!

I finally understand why some of us are not liking the Mork/Gorkanaut and the Big Gunz.

They are too clean for an ork machine. if we look at the Kanz,dread and Stompa or even the battle Wagon you will notice that the surface of these machines are not even. They have many plates slapped on top.

So no one side is even or clean hence giving it a feeling as if they are made out of scrap or junk.

While these new models they look as if these new Orks Mass produce them. As if they come out of factory which has moulding and casting. Which is very un-orky i must say.

Plus they look as if every part fits very perfectly in the place rather than being slammed or hammered into place.

Yea, 100% sure it'll be 1 gun per box. Those gunz are also crying out to be based, imo.

I'm thinking the big gunz are combo kits for buggies.

I also think that model in front of them is a new painboy, it's a new kit as I'd initially thought it was a nob, but the legs are off in size and the left arm weaponry is also new looking.

Squidbots seen the painboy and he hasn't said that's what it is.

Ok so right now the releases seem to be:

-Gorkanaut/Morkanaut
-Flash Gitz
-Big Gunz
-Shokk Attak Gun Big Mek (plastic)
-Plastic Big Mek
-Mega Armoured Nobz

I think that's all we're getting, given that basically, or at least almost every new Codex release has had 4 non-character plastic kits with it.

I'm interested by both the Gorkanaut and Morkanaut for the 3D6 S6 AP4 gun and the KFF respectively, I'm struggling to decide which is to best to support my hordes of Boys.

The Big Gunz look awesome to me and I'll surely have a battery of them if the rules are decent.

He has a spanner on his boss pole. His left arm looks to me to be similar to this one (Left with choppa)

It's not a bad haul, but the continual lack of modernized buggies is rather glaring.

I'm not flustered by the Big Meks, thats for sure, without the KFF/SAG they've never been good and I already have the old SAG one. Unless they come with something that surprises us all and lets them pilot a vehicle or something and give it bonuses. Da boyz can dream.

I actually think I like the 'clean' look of the new ork stuff a bit better. I like to add my own details in plasticard and it's easier to make the same kit look different every time you build it if the details are optional.

look at the left killabot, 2 Shooting Weapons!

Kanz with 2 ranged weapons would suit me just fine

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 used to have a bad moon paint scheme like that. I don't know who at GW keeps spying on what I have painted but yeah that's a great picture of a really distinctive scheme.

That's exactly what I mean. His left arm looks to be pointing a choppa. His right arm seems similar to the existing painboy, only with the buzz saw being an underslung attachment, rather than a hand. Also, definitely a spanner on that pole, I would definitely say he's some kind of artillery command mek.

It does look like buggies could share a kit with the new artillery pieces, since they are rather big, have wheels and lots of armour plates. GW love doing their new plastic kits as dual kits, so I would be rather shocked if these guys can't be built as buggies.

BTW I absolutely love those Flash Gits. I don't care that much about their rules, or the price for that matter. Those sculpts look amazing. This will probably be the first thing that I purchase from GW in almost a year.

Look. At. All. That. DAKKA!

Well that close up confirms it's a mek of sorts with the spanna-banna...

I'm not sure that's a choppa in his left hand though. It seems to terminate in a spike.

i just had a fear come over me....

what if the big gunz are a combo kit...

and the big gunz become some type of vehicle... with crappy armor...

and they also treat the grots as base to base modifiers like a techmarine in relation to SM vehicles...

Is the Ork infront of the Big gunz not some sort of Mek leader for them? That's the way I saw it.

Tho that would confuse me what actually comes in the box tbh.

Don't joke :(

Local GW manager just told me 2 weeks for Codex, which isn't really news for most of us, but considering someone earlier in the thread stated they doubted we were even getting a new codex ( ) I thought I'd share.

Also, on the subject of the yellow paint jobs, now I have the WD in front of me and am able to see them a little better, and closer, they're actually not that bad. There is some good shading and blending, it's just there is SO MUCH yellow, it just looks like a big blob of yellow when viewed from a distance. It's too subtle for a model that size, and needs breaking up.
I'm very much looking forward to the paint jobs people will do on this thing.

I'm thinking it's the plastic Mek, just happens to have joined the Gunz. SAG and KFF are both unavailable, so I wonder if it's one Big Mek kit, or one for KFF+SAG kit and a separate plastic Mek?

BTW, looks like the new Grotz are hanging around with the Gunz.. are those included in the kit?

edit: Just on the right side, there's a KMB next to a MegaNob.. would that be the MA-Mek?

 prowla wrote:

Assuming they are still artillery (and why wouldn't they be) they must have crew, so I guess those grots are in the gun kit. I wonder how many you get?

Yea, I'm sure the Grotz will come with the Gunz. The more I see of them the more they look like someone has converted them using the Ork plastic buggy.


So maybe its a dual kit, we will know soon enough I guess

They have not really shown conversions in recent promo material.

Might be a bit lame for Gw to advertise something you can't buy though

Apart from the Kan shown in the preview of Warhammer Visions.

The big gun buggies (if they are just big guns) seem rather large in size compared to the old style. Fielding a whole load of big guns would create such a big wall! Plonk a KFFnaught behind it and you've got one hell of a tough nut to crack into! assuming they remain T7 and dont get given a AV?

Looking forward to hopefully running sometruely shooty lists with big guns, SAGs and flash gits in truckks mopping up sloppy seconds.
