In your mind what do you think this means?

both the Orks and Space Wolves codexes will be absolutely packed with new content for your games. If you’ve been looking on enviously as other factions get their time in the sun, your patience will soon be rewarded.

Could it mean new models, or just new relics and warlord traits? But you bets down below, fight it out! Beat each other up until one of you sounds better! Who ever picks the right answer gets a virtual cookie!

New ork stuff, nothing new model wise for wolves. Its just buzz words.

Yep.

dont get your hopes up otherwise you will be let down

otherwise it will come as a pleasant surprise if something does happen.

Win win.

It does sound like a subtle hint of a wolves vs orks boxset to me in the vein of forgebane.

It means you will get a codex full off Games™ Workshop™ Citadel™ FineRules™, packed with 110% Games™ Workshop™ Hobby™ Goodness™. You won't believe how much content will be in your new Games™ Workshop™ Codex™. We've really outdone ourselves this time. We copy/pasted the same relics and warlord traits from the Ultramarines™, but now with 110% MORE WOLVES™. Give your Wolf™ Lord™ on Citadel™ Thunderwolf™ and Wolf™ Sword™ and Armor™ Of™ The™ Space™ Wolf™, or use the new BORK BORK I SEE A FOOD™ stratagem to have your Space™ Puppies™ get that scrap of food on the floor on a 2+. PACKED™ WITH™ CONTENT™.

Codex will have new stratagems, relic rules, traits and I won't get my RENAMING OF THE STUPID UNITS LIKE CANIS.

Lololol this, 100% this.

It means GW has you by the nuts and isn't gonna let you go till you part with your hard earned.

I can totally see some new Space Wolf kits so they take Primaris with the proper amount of claws and pelts on them.

Orks do have the benefit of an already established Ork Kulture and we'll routed Clans to work with, compared to some GSC, Dark Eldar Kabals, T'au Septs etc. They already have 6 major Clans plus Free Bootaz!

I can see the Ork book being one of the larger codex books for 8th.

Someone posted about models coming with the Ork codex. I'll drag it up when i can go find it again. Source was from the speakers at the expo.

There's a rumor engine featuring what is quite clearly an ork tire that we still don't have a model for, so this isn't altogether unsurprising.

If space furries get Russ forget anyone else getting viable spacemarines before 9th edition.

Dont forget the ability to Forge A Narrative™ with 100% more randomness for the sake of randomness for orks

I doubt it means anything at all. GW says every book is packed with new content, that's how you market a codex.

"packed with content" could just mean "containing pages between the two covers"

I hope there's more Space wolf units with Wolf in the title

I think it means they are saying they haven't printed the data sheets in quite this format before, so they are new content, and there will be all new photographs of the same old models.

I'm not expecting and new fluff thats worth the time to read it though or art work that actually adds anything.

Wish they would take the Orks back to the days of "ere we go"

Stormwolffrostfang - everything in the SW codex.

I'd love to see that, personally.

Moreover, I bet it contains enough pages to fill the binding between those two covers!

Well 2 new models apiece would make them second only to knights. So...

Suspect Wolves are getting a couple primaris options and the orks are getting their new walker and the rumored Deffkopter variant.

That would be pretty significant. We haven't seen any truly unique Primaris units for any other chapters. Just an upgrade sprue and the odd alternate Lieutenant sculpt.

...It means "meaningless marketing language"?

I'm excited for the Ork codex, but one thing that makes me think we might not get a big model release is the recycled art on the cover. IIRC every codex that was accompanied by a major model release had new art. Am I wrong about that?

There's a good chance we'll maybe get a new model or two. Who knows, I'd be pleasantly surprised if we got a bunch of new kits.

Imperial Knights got reused cover art so no. so far best I can tell only space marines have gotten new cover art.

Defanitly new models for both. I suspected the wolves would get a primaris size remake because next to new models they look like squats and primaris conversions are harder because of the detail the wolves have already. Orks defanitly getting new vehicles like buggies, possibly a walker probanly a new unit.

the point is that the "new cover art = new models" is demonstrably false. Space Marines got new cover art because they're shifting the focus to Primaris Marines

You're right, Imperial Knights is getting several new models but the same cover art. Also, Daemons appears to have the same cover art (I thought they got new art, but I was confusing it with the AoS Nurgle release). The other armies that got major model releases were getting their codexes for the first time, so they don't count.

To be clear I was not trying to say I thought that old art meant no new models, but rather that if they were re-vamping the line with a lot of new kits I thought they'd have new art to highlight them (like with Primaris Marines on the SM codex). Still, you are right that there have been significant releases without new art and I was wrong to draw a connection between those two things.

Is kinda cheap how they reused all the cover art... kinda wanted new stuff. In the old days the new cover art is what people looked forward too!
