How can you tell, I only see size comparisons to other new releases?

It's on a 40mm base, and that row of midgets in front of it are the existing Black Orc models. EDIT: On the WD cover pic I mean.

Yeha these Orcs (or Orruks) look a lot better with different colour schemes. I especially like the Blue on them.

I hope not... up to this point that has been impossible.
they leave no remains.

Like the demon piecea Grey Knights and several other models are eager to carry around?

He does. There's a couple of Stormcast helmets amongst the skulls embedded in Dorghars skin on Archaon too.

Hell, the Ork Megaboss has a Bloodletter skull on his pauldron.

After comparing pics the yellow scheme is actually really cool with the weathering/scratches. It simply falls apart in blurry pics and probably from a TT perspective though. Great choice for your "leaked" pics, GW

Yeah £65 doesn't seem that bad to me. It looks a lot more substantial than the Magmadroth which is the same price.

To be fair, the Magmadroth can build 3 heroes(2 on foot and 1 mounted) if you do a Runeson or Runefather and 2 heroes if you do the Runesmither.

It doesn't look like you get to do this with the new Maw Krusha.

Good point, I didn't consider that. But purely in terms of the amount of plastic you get for the cost, I think the Maw Crusha wins.

The Maw Krusha is definitely larger than the Magmadroth. The Magmadroth comes on a 120mm x 92mm oval base. The Maw Krusha comes on the 160mm round base, the same size as Archaeon.

To be fair, I think the base for the Maw Krusha comes to the fact that it's a very 'closed' pose. The Magmadroth is much more 'open' in its posing.

These new releases look awesome. Really like the warboss.

I REALLY like the blue color scheme. Also, from the book it sounds like these are the orcs that won in an alternate universe (which is why they're all huge)?

Red ones go faster, Blue ones go...bigger?

Led by an...UltraBoss, of course?

I'm all for Orc/ks getting bigger - would love to see them, and Marines, get a scale boost in 40K too, just like in WFB/AoS!

Nah. In 40K blue ones are the ones who stole everyone else's stuff

Orks that got bigger are called Nobs :/
Ones that got bigger than that are called warbosses.
Ones that got bigger than that are called Ghazghkull Thraka :/

The Shaman is pretty cool, the chunky-Wyvern(without the rider) is nice but I've no use for it, and I don't collect Snakebite Klan Orks for 40K so the rest is out too.

We'll see what the discounted price of the Shaman ends up being in the UK.

I keeping the bad moons yellow scheme and adding to my Orks. Add some bits and cables and they can be nobz. But might as well try them in AoS as well. Glad they showed multiple colors schemes.

So I was trying to order the Maw Krusha to ship to my painter in the EU - and while I was checking out it changed from "PreOrder" to "Sold Out"! When you click on it on the UK or any of the EU versions of the GW website, it now shows up that way (but not in the preview menu).

Blue iz for luck.

Thievin' gitz.

When did Ultramarines get green skin?

It would be nice to see these guys standing next to some Ultramarines.

I think I'll eventually pick up some of these kits to flesh out my remaining Ork army, maybe 40k-ify them and give them a look like the locust from Gears of War (minus the white skin). They just look quite brutal overall.

Orks that got bigger than Ghazghkull are called The Beast

Now that I've seen the Maw Krusha in a 360 spin view, I so want one. What fantastic beast, and the painting tutorial was actually very in depth. I certainly learned some things from watching it.

A few hours later the UK/EU GW sites show the Maw Krusha as available again, I guess they designated more stock? I put my order in through Element Games, anyway

Really like how crude the armour looks in different schemes. The blue one reminds me of old metal models.

The armour design is great.

The painting of it in bright colours is a strange choice. With the crudeness of the armour, or should be either roughly painted or hate bare metal.

Amazing release!

Still not too hot on the hog models. The bottom jaw, tusks and beard just looks so weird.

The brutes and megaboss though, are exactly how nobs and warbosses (tall and wide) should look in 40k (and in fantasy)! And I love the longer legs. Not a fan of the stumpy look of the ard'boys/40k nobs.

And the maw-krusha.. damn!! WIll have to get one!!

Not got a single GW model in a few months now but been drawn back for this.

I'm happy to buy one of each of the new Orc releases as they are all solid models IMO.

Just hoping the savage boyz get a new unit or 2. (Maybe nob sized savages?)



Either way, love the model and that maw crusha, dare I say it, is the best looking model they have put out for some time.

If there were going to be any new Savage Orruk units, they would have most likely been released before the Grand Alliance book coming out next week.

Was looking at the bone armor cause it looks pretty schweet and just noticed the same thing. Not sure how that works? I *think* there's been instances of Stormcast taking their helmets off, so... I don't know where I'm going with that. Wonder if its a sculptor oversight or what. Not a huge deal, just curious.

It might be dependent on how close it is to the dead body when they're brought back to Sigmar.

If the Orruk ripped the head off maybe only the main body went back?

Haha, that'd actually be a funny lore piece that he feed the head to a squigs before the Stormcast recall and it ended up with the rest of the Stormcast and started causing havok in Azyrheim.
