I'd love for the Walker to not be a conversion. It's super cool. Also, bout time for new koptas!

WotB orks had 'attack moons' which were essentially deathstar-like structures capable of not just moving through the warp but materialising in a relatively close planetary orbit. As far as I'm aware, no 40k faction has the ability to jump straight into a gravity well like that, much less with something that size.

Also, they had a spaceship which could collapse a star with it's main gun.

The koptas are really the same ones that belonged to the AOBR set.

I wouldn't like a new walker to be honest, we already have tons of them: kanz, dreads, nauts, the stompa and other FW stuff. Orks need new HQs and buggies more than anything, and a tank-gun boat as a completely new unit.

Orks got a line of models in the last few years, so there's a pretty low chance they'll get new models now.

I think one only has to look at the Ironjawz in AoS.40k Orks will inevitably get the same treatment.

Are you serious? No new models since 2014, just a new sprue to an already existing kit which also becomes way more expensive. We also have several units/characters that belong to the 90s.

And by your logic SM shouldn't receive anything new until 2050

For people who don't know the first thing about AoS, what would that be?

Much bigger badder orcs

I admit I have to chuckle at Ork players whining about their model line...

Yeah, the 2014 release was only 4 years ago. Most factions wait way longer to get new models than 4 years. And tbh the current SM line probably won't receive anything new (not counting primaris) for a long time. The 2015 release made sure pretty much every space marine unit had a high quality multi-part plastic kit. No need to release anything new.

I think that's the "line of models in the last few years" he's referring to.

I personally wouldn't call the addition of Flash Gitz, Mork/Gorkanauts, Grukk, and the Meganobz a "line of models".

Maybe not a line, but 'a release' that isn't just a character like the necron guy recently, but a couple of units.

Actually, a "Armagedoon 4: Return of the Returners" campaign might be a nice way to introduce both Orcs and Angron and his friendly, "helping grannies over the street" boys. Crushing the Empire left and right until a certain Group of fur-hang unshaven lapdogs apear and keep the Inquistion from murdering everyone as would have been wise the first time War came to Armageddon -

Didn’t they essentially pave the entire planet, for the Emperor’s victory parade? And then they moved it right across the galaxy before renaming and resettling it?

Anyway - something is probably hidden below the surface. Maybe it’s made of noctilith?

Dont want to derail the thread but without some new HQ models, Orks will be stuck with the Grukk model as the only available warboss.

What I’m hoping for: decent, fun Codex; updates to the really creaky kits; maybe something cool and new that mixes in well with the existing stuff.

What I’m not hoping for: yet another boring, oversized special character kit leading to more boring, samey armies; unnecessarily crowbarring in more, bigger Orks, when Nobz already exist.

Armageddon IV: Chaos wins again, which is unacceptable because it would change the entire narrative of 40K, and so the results will be marginalized despite the overwhelming, crushing victory by Chaos.

Chaos BLEW UP CADIA and all the World Stones (Or Ward Stones? Or whatever they were), and what happened? Not a Chaos God thing. If anything, it was a good thing for the Imperium as it galvanized Cawl to log off from World of Warcraft, the Eldar to birth another God, and resurrect Bobby G who then swiped in to save the day.

That was almost two years ago, and nothing has changed since.

Back on topic, Bell of Lost Souls is like watching Fox News- you can never quite figure out if they are being serious or if it's "Fake News".

There was also the mek gunz , the painboy and the mek. The 2014 release was actually pretty big. A refresh with additional kits every 4 years or so is pretty standard for GW’s more popular factions. Orks are certainly due some new stuff but I wouldn’t call them overdue yet. I fully expect that by the end of 2018 orks will have had the best year miniature wise of any Xenos army. (That wheel is definitely from an Ork kit)

I'm pretty sure it's a looted Dreadknight, and i'm pretty sure it's the looted Dreadknight that was shown in one of the recent White Dwaves, the one with the Escher on the cover hugging the wall. It probably belongs in Dan Harden's ork army. He mentioned it being looted which would explain it being painted in Deathskullz blue.

You're right, I forget about the Mek Gunz because as sought after as the kit was...man I didn't see many get sold at that price. Painboy and Mek were similar situations after awhile.

Hopefully any Ork release means that Mek Gunz will be repacked into at least a 3 pack for cheaper.

One rumour was a gorkamorka box set in June.
Harry also mentioned ork buggies a year ago.
Ork buggy rumours have been fairly steady and I expect a release for them soon.

And in gw current design of making new kits into a board game of rereleases of nostalgia I think gorkamorka with several buggy kits might actually be legit possibility. However I’m hoping for some sweet ork fort/terrain with this set!!! But that’s wishlisting.

The whole angron les bring back more primarchs story line also seems to fit nicely into an ork armeggedon release

I think the Mek Gun had (has?) the worst price/points cost ratio of any GW model. Which is annoying because they're great in-game.

I'm not an Ork player but I do hope they get a decent codex and some updated models to match. They still sell a buggy from over 20 years ago!

Ideally I think a good release would also include a box of bits (bit like the skulls and vines) which would allow you a lot of customisation and decoration options

Buggies, Trakks (sp?), Skorchas and Deff Koptas need new kits at the very least. A plastic Warboss and Weird Boy kit would also be nice.

The whole splitting the galaxy twain, severing the Imperium in half and loading them down with more threats than they've ever had before not withstanding?

I wouldn't say that Man is doing all that well at the moment.

It would be awesome if all the clans are viable and fluffy. I'm planning on a snakebite army, and would love if boar boyz made a return. Along with more squig variants.

Well we've had this Rumor Engine pic for 10 months now. I'm hoping it's indeed the rumored buggy kit.



In terms of models that need updating the ones you mention are at the top of the heap, but I could also go for a much needed tankbustas/kommandos kit. Agreed on squigs though; I'd love to see a Tau drone like kit with a few squigs you can arm with bombs, ammo packs etc with various buffing effects/abilities.

If they were to re-do the Kommandos, I'd love for them to do it in this style, from old concept art:



Especially this lad:



Tacticool Kommando with a boonie hat? Just sweet!

Catachans vs. Ork Kommandos - Vietnam in Spaaaace!

Or would it be more like Afghanisan?
