Hmmm. Give in to Ironjawz now or wait for the Silver Pinnacle.

Temptations, temptations.

Indeed, love the shadows on them as well. Really says you don't wanna go into the dark places of this land.

They look way better than the traffic signs.

The flesh eater hint is rumoured to be for the next Start Collecting box (for Death).

I'd guess zombies, cart and a bigger model. Maybe some Dire Wolves too if they're wanting to entice.

Flesh Eaters are ghouls aren't they? I'm guessing Ghouls, Crypt Horrors and a Terrorgheist. I'll probably pick one up, I like the Ghoul stuff.

New start collecting sets would be a good move. I hope we see them for some of the order factions.

That would be three start collecting sets for undead. Looking like a good army for the price conscious.

It might be because undead needs so many models; if you play ghouls, zombies or skeletons.

Until they release AoS zombies that will cost an arm, a leg and a bit of your amygdala for anything resembling a "horde" (say 20 dudes)

I'd be tempted by such a ghoul court box because I need the spine bits from the crypt horrors and the Terrorgheists is lovely. I got a box of ghouls as conversion fodder already, though, so that part would be dead weight. Hmh.

Yeah, probably right with the ghouls.

Don't hold your breath for Order. We've kinda gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to starter stuff. There's Seraphon and that's it.

Maybe Shadowkin will get a Start Collecting when they come out.

Omg yes. They look all kinds of awesome!

A ghoul starter set would be tempting. I want to add both Crypt Horrors and a Terrogiest to my death army - so if the box has both of those it'll be great!

I would love some more Order starter sets, but oh well.

Why can't meganobs get big choppas!?! These are lovely little gits!

My favorite colour so far. WOW

Their only option is a big choppa, they just don't need two hands for it like those other puny gitz.

Spoiler:

Oh man that's just awesome! How big is that base

The Megaboss comes on a 60mm base

Wow, the paint scheme does make a massive difference. They looked very 40k in the bright yellow scheme. The armor looked very meganobish... Now that I see it in an unblinglding scheme, the armor looks very fantasy based.

Love the dragon skull on his shoulder. Both are great schemes, really loving the metal realistic scheme.

Kudos on both paintjobs!

He must be around the same size as a Stormfiend (which come on 50mm squares, so 60mm rounds).

For further context, a 60mm base is what Dreadnoughts come on!

Oh my.

hey all,
in your opinions how do you think force org will work in the new system?
I recently picked up the mega boss on wyvern but don't have any other ironjawj so im not sure yet how i'll use him. can I just use him with my regular old greenskinz?
keep in mind I know as of right now I can, anything goes, but im thinking to the future.
I know that its all speculative right now but I figured most of you are familiar with all of the comp systems out there so maybe they'll give us a clue?

Well at the South Coast GT, your army just had to all be from the same Grand Alliance.

Greenskinz are in the GAestruction book, so anything in that (and also Greenskinz in the app, the O&G stuff is what's out of date) will be what's rolled with going ahead. Gordrakk, the character the Maw-Crusha kit builds, has a command ability that affects all Destruction models, not just Ironjaws, so he may be a good choice for you (he's also a solid dude, so not a bad choice regardless ) Comp system wise, everything so far has points in the systems I know of, which isn't many to be frank, but I know for sure everything with rules so far is getting points, including O&G, and there is also the statement that no models will be invalidated, only updated rules-wise (see 'Ard Boyz, who got rebased, renamed, and given new rules)

COMMAND ABILITY
Mighty Waaagh!: If a Megaboss on Mawkrusha
uses this ability, count up the
number of Ironjawz 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 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 Ironjawz units
within 15" of this model, then make 2 extra
attacks rather than 1.

The answer would be - no. His command only targets IRONJAWZ.

Gordrakk´s command, on the other hand (you can make two models of the boss - megaboss and gordrakk), gets any DESTRUCTION unit (it doenst even have to be orcs):

COMMAND ABILITY
Voice of Gork: Gordrakk’s bellow carries
the elemental force of his brutal god, and
inspires his forces to surge into the enemy,
hacking, bludgeoning and stomping with
abandon. Once per battle, in your hero
phase, you can pick a Destruction
unit that is within 20" of Gordrakk. In
the following charge phase, that unit can
declare a charge if it is within 18" of the
enemy, and you can roll three dice to
determine the distance it can charge. In
addition, the unit makes 2 extra attacks
with each of its melee weapons in the
following combat phase. If the unit you
chose is part of a warscroll battalion, then
these benefits also apply to all other units
from the battalion.

Remember - Orcs are divided in 3 clans: Ironjawz, greenskinz and bonesplitas. So, you gotta watch for the keywords.

Huh.. Guess those are the beasties I was referring to from Beasts of Cartha. Shame they're only re-boxings.

Whoa is that the silver tower boardgame in next week's hint?

From Atia's Blog

"Defend yourselves mortals, a terrible quest awaits ..."

Feels like it..

Bah at the Varghulf being included (if I got the name right). Anything non-plastic is a no buy for me.

Funny they seem to have made a new unit out of an existing kit.

Also, the GW AoS Facebook page is holding a competition for the best-painted Orruk this month, with a prize at the end.

The cover for the battletome is awesome.
