This is not a drill, the Orks and Tau are next. Repeat, the Orks and Tau are next!

I think "are next" implies something far more grand than what is actually being released.

Would you have clicked if it were "Tau and Orks get some random releases!"?

Surprised to see Waagh! Ghazghkull and Farsight Enclaves get updated. Really did not expect that. Wonder what the Tau releases are, as it implies that there is a "Tau command reinforcements" release.

YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!! MORE ORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch it be just Grukk in a Clampack and the Ethereal in a Clampack. No new rules. Just like they did with the Blood Angels Jump Pack Chaplain last fall.

Brief info on Ork release:

Well...

This week celebrates the ongoing battles between the Tau and the Orks with the return of the terrifying Grukk Face-rippa (an Ork Warboss last seen in the Sanctus Reach campaign--we've included his Warhammer 40,000 rules on the back page for you) and Tau command reinforcements, along with updated versions of the Farsight Enclaves and Waagh! Ghazghkull supplements-two books bursting with rich stories and rules for Warhammer 40,000.

Is it just the Grukk model being released or are they updating the rules on WaaghG!? Which imo needs some major updating.

I will say say the thought of Grukk cutting Tau's faces off with his buzzsaw klaw feels with me glee. "Hur hur dat won was a slippery fish. Look itz still flopping around on da ground wiv no face Hur Hur."

*edited ninjaed!*

Sounds like new rules for da ladz then

And this update for a one year old supplement with 1 page of rules will cost money?

Noooo. More Tau!

So, a Grukk + Nobz repack and an updated Waagh Ghazghkull book?

I had my hopes up for a xenos vs. xenos campaign there for a second , but of course that's out of the question.

But sure, give the Wolfy McWolf Wolfs two big new shiny books all for themselves, I'm not bitter.

Hold the WD in hands. We get a Start Collecting Orks box as well. 11 Boyz, Deffdread, Painboy and 5 Nobz

Preview for next week: "Black and Silver"

New Ghazkkull supplement with all formations from the last year campaign sets and 3 NEW formations. (Please Decurion style XD)

Sure would be nice if the release included a plastic warbuggy, weirdboy or deff kopta kit. Just saying......

Wow, like Tau didn't already have enough support in the past few months. At least people who are just getting into Tau can just get the new codex and new FSE supplements. Kinda too bad they aren't releasing a new Ork codex instead of just the supplement. Never know, perhaps they are going out of order.

I am actually holding out for them to rerelease Sentinels of Terra. Would love for an Imperial Fists superformation.

But seriously, give Tau a rest GW.

Edit: Black and Silver almost has to be Iron Hands. Probably getting a rerelease of Clan Raukhaan.

Black and silver. Deathwatch?

Black and silver is more of a Deathwatch thing. Iron Hands tend towards being more iron(no sarcasm intended).

Tau command reinforcements? So the ethereal in a blister pack then the only other command guys are the unique ethereals including the space pope, farsight and shadowsun. I don't see any of those going plastic anytime soon.

Oh, updated supplements. Looking forward to more info. Not sure if this is a good idea.

The Black Legion book went 'No longer available' last week so maybe this one gets an update instead of (or after) a softcover re-release.

Fingers-crossed for a (minor) Ork update now.

I didn't even think of Deathwatch. Given that they are rereleasing two supplements the week before, I wouldn't put it past them to release another one though. But, I would be much happier seeing the rumored Deathwatch v. Genestealer Cult board game. Hopefully with rules to run an allied detachment of either of those.

Waaagh ghaz and farsight enclave are both over two year old or older.
And If you mean grukk face ripper his rules are the same and available for the first time in this white dwarf for $4.
Less crying about rules updates and more actual facts next time.

Spend more money on books! I mean it's cool they got an update.. but damn, this seems to be GW's new strategy and people love throwing money at books for some odd reason.

Warboss85, what are the prices for the books and the Ork Start Collecting! set?

They need a new warbuggy/wartrakk model.
I really like the current finecast weirdboy but ya they need a plastic one.
The deffkopta is getting a rerelease of the assault on black reach plastic deffkopta which is a nice model.
However overall Orks have a ton of missing models or finecast.
I really want a speed freak supplement with a ton of new formations for all those av10 vehicles. Trukks, warbuggies, wartrakk, skorcha, killa kans and deff dreads. Can all use some solid rule additions.

Well, at least they have been doing stuff like the Start Collecting boxes. $85 for a playable army in this game is hard to say no to.

Just pull the new rules from the web and print them. I won't buy W!Ghaz for a second time for sure. Hope it will have an Ork Decurion while they are at it.

Ork starter is 65€ like every Start Collecting Box and Supplements are 26€, 32$.

I thought that Sad Panda had hinted at the DW/Genesneaker Cult board game being closer to May'ish time? Still, I'd rather have that than see Marines getting even more love at this point.

Likewise, after this release, I hope to god that we're done with Tau stuff until at least 2018. They've had enough stuff. Time to let the unloved factions get some attention for once!

FSE is over two years old, Waaagh Ghazghkull was release June 2014. And you don't have to buy WD to get Grukk Face's rules if you have the model already or buy the new model rules come with it. Facts Smacts!

Thanks!
