Subject: Age of Sigmar News & Rumours ~ Orruks Pics - April 23 release?
I'm thinking it's an April 23rd preorder, not release.

We have seen them on round bases and in the art, it must be a reboxing to accompany the new release, possibly with a different number of models in the box.

Spoiler:
The megaboss on Maw krusha
A megaboss on maw krusha is a single model. The megaboss rides on its back and is equipped with a boss gore-hacka and a scrap-tooth or a choppa and a rip tooth fist. The maw krusha can batter opponents with its mighty fists, flatten them with its destructive bulk, or smash them with its bladed tail, while its ???? bursting bellow can kill foes from afar.
maw krusha can fly - movement range is * based on wounds, it ranges from 12" at 0-3 wnds or 4" at 13+
missile weapons
??? bursting bellow
8" range 1 attack 3+ to hit 3+ to wound -1 rend damage D6
melee weapons
boss gore hacka 2" range 3 attacks 3+ to hit 3+ to wound -1 rend 2 damage
scrap tooth 1" range 4 attacks 3+ to hit 3+ to wound -no rend- 1 damage
choppa 1" range 4 attacks 3+ to hit 3+ to wound -1 rend 2 damage
rip-tooth fist 1" range 1 attacks 4+ to hit 3+ to wound -2 rend D3 damage
maw krusha's mighty fists 1" range 4 attacks * to hit (based on wounds suffered - they go from 2+ to 6+ on increasing scale) 3+ to wound -2 rend - looks like 3 damage, maybe 2
maw krusha's bladed tail 1" range D3 attacks 4+ to hit 3+ to wound -1 rend 1 damage
abilities - gain +1 attack and wound per hero kill for the killing weapon
destructive bulk - after maw krusha completes a charge, pick an enemy within 1", roll the number of dice shown for the maw krusha's destructive bulk (ranges based on wounds suffered, 8 dice down to 4 dice at 13+ wounds taken) on the damage table above, the enemy will suffer 1 mortal wound for each roll of 4 or more
On the rampage - if the wounds inflicted by a maw krusha destructive bulk attack mean that there are no enemy models left within 3" of it, then it can immediately make another charge move (and can make another destructive bulk attack after the move if the charge is successful) a maw krusha can make any number of charge moves like this in a single turn, as long as each one results in all enemy models within 3" being slain
command ability mighty waaagh
If a megaboss in maw krusha uses this, count up the number of ironjaw units within 15" of them at the start of the combat phase of the turn and roll a dice. If the roll is less than or equal to the number of units, then this model and all models in those same units make 1 extra attack with each of their melee weapons in that combat phase. If the roll is a 6, and there are at least 6 ironjaw units within 15" of this model, then make 2 extra attacks rather than 1.

Damn them! Those were the best models they've ever made. Like hell I'm buying this new junk now.
Why would they still be selling Grimgor but not Black orc regiments?

We know what the Maw Crusha is, but the general assumption was that it was replacing the Wyvern. And the black orcs are probably being reboxed with round bases as they aren't in the last chance to buy section.

Black Orcs are pictured as a "consider this next" option in the pamphlet that comes in the start collecting box, so I doubt they are going away. I am thinking that "Black Orc" is a unit within the broader "Ironjaw" category.
Were people expecting them to still be boxed and sold as Black Orcs in the all new creation of Orruk?
Well guys, it's been long enough for our language to have changed to the point where Orc has become know as Orruk, but for some reason we still call those guys Black Orcs, nobody ever point that out though, it's impolite.

Lets be real, nobody is calling them "Orruks" except GW staff

There are people coming into this game every day who have never known the Guard as the Imperial Guard, so it's a name that will diminish more and more as time goes by.
@TedNugent, the ??? word is 'innard', as in 'innard-bursting'

Meh. GW should have called them Iron Orcs from the very beginning. They are the only Orcs to wear iron all the time and are covered head to toe in armor! What would the Chaos Dwarves have used them for? Mining iron ore! Ironskinz sounds much more menacing and to their character. It would have been synonomous with that they were 'arder than the average orc and much moremilitary disciplined because they w re "smelted" and "refined".

Here is your monday morning fix.
But first let me give you some unrelated info, just because if I post them here people will be forced to see them: The Imperial Knight Renegade game is labelled in our mails as "While Stock Lasts" and when I did my order my rep confirmed that all versions including the English ones are limited. Which means that when available stocks will reach zero you won't be able to order them anymore in both independent stores AND physical GW stores. Whether it will stay available online is another story. (Oh and Btw the Renegade Knights rules are not in the next WD).
Ok now let's talk abut the Orruks.
DISCLAIMER: Before we go you must understand that these models are large, really large. And I mean that they appear to dwarf any other orc models. The Maw Krusha is more massive than the Magmadroth (if I remember the name right), Megaboss is huge... in parallel, this is a very very costly release, even by AoS standard. So don't be surprised by what follows. Also since there are so many references sorry but I will just give you the Euro/UK/US prices and I'll complete at a later time. Also I'm going fast so don't blame me if there are mistakes please.
EDIT- I'll amend my post with the following: I shall add that when I said they appear to dwarf other orcs models I don't mean they are Ogre sized, but that they will stand a head above regular Orcs, far more for the Megaboss. Keep in mind GW really don't make it easy to gauge precisely the size difference between models in their pics.
- Maw-Krusha (1 model) 90€ / £65 / $110
Comes with either a Megaboss or Gordrakk the Fist of Gork on top. Apparently the Krusha itself has two heads options. Few aesthetic differences overall.
- Gore-Gruntas (3 models) 67€ / £48 / $79
Huge Boar riders. They are... different? You have to see them for yourselves but I fear they will not be that well received. It appears that those are not 3 different models, but two, one of them being repeated twice. No weapons options and they really all look similar.
- Brutes (5 models) 42€ / £30 / $50
Heavier than Black Orcs, can be built with either two weapons or a two handed one.
- Megaboss 34€ / £24 / $40
- Weirdnob Shaman 28€ / £20 / $33
- Warchanter 26€ / £18.5 / $30
- Ardboys (15 models) 45€ / £32 / $53
Repackaged Black Orcs with round bases.
- Grand Alliance Destruction (112p) 14€ / £10 / $16.5
12 factions, 61 Warscrolls, minus at least 7 for the Ironjaws that's 54 remaining for the old range, place your bets.
Large release apparently.
There was some more info, I added it to the quote.

54 old Destruction warscrolls seems about right, don't expect more than 12-15 warscrolls from Ogres will make it, so that leaves plenty of room for O&G.
