That Painboy kind of reminds me of the old ork artwork by Paul Bonner and Wayne England. I think that with a different paintjob it might look pretty good.

I've gathered that most people here haven't put much stock in BOLS or Faeit during the rumor cycle but there's been some interesting stuff to mull over here:

http://natfka.blogspot.com/2014/06/ork-army-information-separate-force-org.html

Ghazghgull is a lord of war
The stoompa is in the codex
Waaagh- They can run and charge same turn
Boarding planks adds 2inches to your move on disembarking te vehicle
Ere we go- reroll one charge die
In combat they are always fearless
Killa Kanz are now 6 a unit
Bikes are down 7 points Can be 15 a unit
A seperate forceorg chart
9 troops
3 HQs

3HQ in a detachment would be amazing, so would bike cost reduction. Also, boarding planks would SO be worth taking.

If we are wish listing the orks then here is the new rule.

Spores:
When an ork dies from anything other than a flamer you roll 1D6 and consult the chart below to see if the spores left behind from the ork spawn something new.

1-3 The spores don't make it.
4 Snotlings are spawned from the spores and cause havoc on all none ork units in the area. The snotlings count as dangerous terrain for all none ork units
5 Two gretchin are spawned with choppas.
6 One feral ork boy is spawned with a choppa.

Boya..Fluff meets rules.

Many typos can be found in those images. That's one of them.

Also kind of funny: France get a codex 1 euro cheaper than the rest of Europe.

Someone else mentioned it: the teeth of the grot on the back of the new Painboy look kind of weird: are those metallic teeth??

Not sure anyone pointed out that the cover is the one some here were expecting, and use that art found in the BRB

funny how mixing stuff that we kind of already know (Ere we go), with things we expect (Stompa), with things we've heard (Ghaz as LoW), with things we could like (reduced point cost), with unbelievable stuff (bikes 7 pts down!!), with things that are just totally crazy (faction specific FoC while 7th edition just revised that whole part of the game) ... makes me want NOT to believe in this

This is not unbelievable stuff. Eldar jetbikes are 17 points now.
It would make sense to see our boyz getting a well-deserved drop in points.
Or, alternatively, getting the old rules from 3rd edition: fearless + the ability to charge firing their twin-linked gunz!

Love the Pain Boy's design, especially his klaw, which is even motorized. Have to agree with the above poster that the grot's mouth looks sutured up.

I like the Ork Mek--is this a different unit from a Big Mek, then? If the meks have been split off from the Lootas/Burnas into their own unit, that would be nice.

I don't understand the "White Dwarf Exclusive" on the Looted Wagon. It looks like a Chimera chassis with Battlewagon bitz. Looks good though. And has given me an idea for another Looted Wagon.

I don't understand this WD-exclusive Looted Wagon business. Is this a way for GW to increase sales for the Battlewagon kit? Since kitbashed or scratchbuilt battlewagons can now just as well fall into the Looted Wagon category due to nearly same weaponry options.

Myself, I have kitbashed my own Battlewagon as a tribute to the old epic Bonebreaka gunwagons. Nobody ever had any problem with it on table. Now it looks like I will have to use a weaker ruleset during games

Chassis on GW pic is Leman Russ, turret is Battlewagon.

I'm sure this has been pointed out somewhere in this thread but can Kanz now use 2 ranged weapons?

I would be cool regardless of limitations, like has to be 2 different weapons or one can only be a shoota or scorcha.

I hate the speculate in general, but in this case i think it is a matter of poor assembly from the heavy metal team. They have made errors before and i think this is one.

only thing i dislike about the new looted wagon rules is the fact that its 37pts.... yeah its abit of my OCD kicking in, but surely make it 35ots or even 40pts instead of the odd number, its really bugging me :-/ the odd value just makes me think of daemons

Most likely there was no room in the codex for everything, something had to be dropped, but they know people love looted wagons, but they are not very good. Compromise, but them in WD.

Paper does not cost that much.

If looted wagons suck wouldn't the most obvious thing to do is to not make them suck?

Looted wagon:
Loot a vehicle unit from any other codex+it's bs becomes 2. You get take upgrades from ork dex.

There you go. It took me 1 line of text to make looted wagons awesome.

Every time I hear "in my opinion" or "just my opinion" makes me want to strangle a puppy. People use their opinions as a shield that other poeple can't critisize and that is bs.

If you can't defend or won't defend your opinion then that "opinion" is bs. Stop trying to tip-toe and defend what you believe in.

Whenever I see odd numbered unit choices, it always makes me think that GW actually has some kind of formula for ascertaining how much a choice should cost.

I have no other evidence for this, and many other unit choices act as evidence against this theory, but it still hangs around.

Yeah, that looks like something GW would do.

Right before orks using looted helldrakes and wave serpents with deff rollas become the new top tier army.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

Ha, I forgot about that rule...but I think we gave it up for twin linked if I recall

"Orkses never lost a battle. If we win we win, if we die we die fighting so it don't count. If we runs for it we don't die neither, cos we can come back for annuver go, see!"

I dig how in a setting where giant, muscled fungus men ride Mad Max cars and use their own teeth as currency, the concept of little engineering dudes with beards was considered a step too far down the aisle of silliness.
