New Nobs look pretty sick there is no doubt.

I just wish I still had gotten 2 more Metal MN before these kits came out. That way I would have a squad of 10 metals.

Anyway, I will be picking them up sometime in the next couple of weeks or so.


So, what all is new in the codex that has never been seen before?

Gorkanought, Jets, and new Guns is all I seen so far.

What I mean by new is a Named character, or a model that never existed before. Meganobs and looted wagons do not count as they were already in the previous codex.

Thus far from what people have said, there are nothing all new to the codex other than the Naut and the new Gunz. We lost a few named characters, and gained no new ones. At least, not yet anyway. Unless they release another supplement. I swore there was a rumor about a supplement in the works for Blood Axes? Who knows. We will have to wait and see.

Off to get my codex, literally had no sleep as im that excited

How exactly do these formations work with the normal 40k ruleset?

I imagine that the formation will simply be one detachment. You can then add additional attachments around that.

Ok I just saw what the inside of the new Ork 'Dex looks like.

Army list rolled into the main section, heavily reduced fluff in favour of a brief column description, and no new artwork for each unit - just a picture of the Official™ Citadel™ Miniature™. It feels more tacky, and the lack of new artwork is not a good thing.

To answer H.M.B.C's question from earlier: meganobz used to be $39 AUD each, so they've gone down substantially in price for us.

Ok good. That's fine... well... it's not fine. The price is still twice as much as it really should be, but cheaper is better than not cheaper.

I just realised. Warboss edition = $180

Codex = $85
Supplement = $85

so that means its only $10 for an awesome box, collectors stuff and objective markers? Totally worth it!

...and the Data Cards, which are actually quite handy. Good deal if you wanted the supplement anyway.

In the UK, the box and objective markers cost the same as a whole other book.

Yeah,
Happy Codex Day everybody!

Been busy getting ready.
Grot Tanks and new boss painted.


Panic...

$85? The books should only be running you $50 per. You're paying 80 bucks for art books, box, and markers along with the cards.

There is no data cards in the warboss edition.

Blood axes eh.

I am kinda hoping for a freebooters / Bad moons supp. That is what I think I want to do with my Ork army now. I just said feth it and accepted I need to evolve past Nob Troop choices in Trukks with Invulnerable saves and running Slugga choppa boys.

Gonna go with More heavy hitters and much lower numbers and see how that goes. You know! Use my tank hunters for the first time, use some of them new flash gits and HEY! I just picked up a Mek Gun today! I chose to go wiff da Kustom Mega Kannon option as I think its da best option if ya not tank hunting or sky firing.

Codex is out now so this thread is no longer needed.

Hope everyone has fun with the new book.
