Not sure if this has already been posted, but if it turns out to be true then I'm super pumped!

It's been in the rumor mill for a couple months. Long enough ago that people seem to have forgotten it was there. I think its pretty obviously more than a rumor.

Also, if you check the Adepticon announcements article on the community page, you'll see a blurry picture of White Dwarf with a battle that contains some previously unseen Ork models.

It is a very well established rumour that more Ork kits are coming which are backed up by the rumour engine of the orky looking wheel. The only question is when the new stuff will come. The rumours have all pointed at either summer or winter.

Wow, didn't realise I was so out of the loop O.o
Guess that's what happens when I stop checking the rumour thread

The question is whether those unseen models are actual kits or conversions like the Guard models in the photo.

It's difficult to say, but the big blue fella up on the horizon is certainly new, and the group of Orks just left from the middle of the page seem new to me as well. Their backpacks and the tubes doesn't look like any other Ork body I know of.

Thought that guy has come up a couple of times, but was a conversion (like the IG in that picture, the Ventrillian nobles)?
Looted Dreadknight or something

On the one hand, as a tried and true Ork fanatic with about 5k of WAAAGH, I'm super stoked for this rumor to pan out.

On the other hand, as someone who is just finishing up their DG army and who thought I was more or less done modeling and painting, I'm a little sad because I wont be able to stop myself buying every Ork model that releases.

I guess if you have to be sad, being sad about being buried in fun hobby projects is a pretty good place to be.

What are he hoping for rules wise??

This isn't a wishlisting thread, this is a thread for rumors.

Sorry fun police. What are the rumors on possible rules updates.

The big thing in the back is a converted Dreadknight. Apparently it was shown in a previous White Dwarf and the owner runs it as a Meka Dread.

That would make sense. The original Glazer's Creek battle report (WD222) had a very converted ork army and a lot of ad-hoc ruled defender models, so I'd expect the sequel to showcase something more interesting than just the standard studio forces.

Nothing not rumoured before and bols so...


Well here's hoping orks will get good codex when it comes. Lack of designer in studio that loves orks is bad though.

I Don't even need good kits but give us usable walkers!

Where I come from this sort of article is called "selling fog"

I'm just really, really hoping they don't ruin my childhood. Glazer's Greek is possibly the best White Dwarf Battle report of all time, and I am not expecting them to do Paul Sawyer any justice with this...

Because of the stats of the galaxy we need Primorks. Or Prime Orks.

New Ghaz leading giant Orks from Octarius back to Armageddon would be fine with me

Ah good old BOL(lock)S, the article has no substance and is basically saying “orks are coming at some point and may have some new models”

Yeah, it's not even usual BolS clickbait, it's reheated, beaten to death, rehashed clickbait.

As for these 'new' models, wasn't consensus they were simply conversions like the opposing IG models?

does anyone have that WD yet? Id love to see it from not a hard angle and in focus

We don't know what White Dwarf it even is!

Can someone extrapolate, so I might better understand, what we're talking about regarding "Prime Orks", both in-game and lore wise? Is it a Super-Ork... ("Sork")? Or a new species of Super Orks (Sorks) to be fielded as some ultimate-Nobz? How can one have Prime Orks when there are already Nobz/Warbosses holding the power in a strictly hierarchical culture? Or are they like Ogryns to IG?

a prime ork is a warboss that can smash any other warboss it encounters.

If an Ork population gets big or powerful enough there genetics combined with there racial psychic field causes extra types of boyz to be expressed. One of these is what the Imperium called a Prime Ork. Essentially a super Warboss that's bigger and smarter than all the other Orks.

It was in 12 book Beast War series. Kinda asspull (huge ork empire springing up from nowhere in age of peace?) but the gist of it was being next step of ork evolution - ork so big it makes a warboss look like a boy. Apparently somehow bigger = smarter, so you get orks that can fluently debate in gothic and make technology that no longer malfunctions all the time (and shoot straight, with a side dose of being humor-devoid Ork Sues). Alas, Imperium offed all the primorks (in equally asspully way) in M32 and that was that. Though, there were hints Ghaz might become one. Though, how that would change anything seeing Imperium already took on primorks, twice, and won, both times crushing armies vastly larger and more advanced than ragged band Ghaz has, we have no idea.

Yeah...soooo, the only bit of this is right that there's an Ork "Empire"(centered around Ullanor) and that it was in the Beast Arises series.

Yeah, super off

With all the flavor and love put into the Dark Eldar book, I'm starting to revive my Orkz now.

Im thinking to go fully Goff since we know they will have a crap trait, but an awesome Character and strategem.

Well the usual method with BoLS is to throw enough gak and eventually some of it will stick. Then they can go "LOOK SEE WE WERE RIGHT!".

You can't ban me from here for pointing that out BoLS...
