We will see... but not expecting much. As an ork player I know I feel like it's crazy not bring anything out but I'm sure the DE and Tau, etc... all feel the same. We're unlikely to get anything as mentioned above because sales probably did drastically drop in 6th and 7th. It's thecage old "we screwed up... well we're now losing money... ermmm... let's just abandon it" company kinda mentality tgat I wouldn't be surprised if gw had.
But the again, I could be wrong.
As for that art, the ork doesn't even have eyes! I meam come on! It just looks like a mindless monsters but that's the great thing about okrs. Everyone thinks it's a mindless monster but actually it's an insane tactical commander inside with experience built right into his DNA!

I think we should discuss that big comment more by tech. He clearly thinks or is saying he knows someone on the inside. Also, it's the only lead we got. Who belives him, who doesn't and why?

The only cathartic thing for me is going to these Ork threads. I don't care if its unsubstantial rumors, I don't care if its wishlisting, I dont care if its just complaints, cause im right there with u, and im glad I'm not the only one tired with this grot sh#t.
This. This is exactly where I'm at too.
From a cursory glance at the Ork groups on Facebook that's where the majority of the Ork player base is at. What is happening now looks a lot like history repeating itself and many Ork players have had enough of feeling like the poor relations. The general mood of Ork players seems to be shifting from happy optimism to bitter pessimism and ironically the cause is the actions of GW.
Announcing the Ork codex then doing nothing for months was a huge misstep.
Focussing on Killteam now is a misstep.
Leaving the Ork codex till practically last and releasing new or far less popular factions before it was a misstep.
Showing new GSC models without any new Ork models is another, huge misstep.
There's only so much a player base can take before they pack up and ether sell their stuff for another faction or leave the hobby altogether. That's the general sentiment I'm picking up from the Ork community and worryingly GW are doing nothing to help fix it.

Hell. I know people on the "inside".
They're saying nothing.
Just like this painful farce of a thread.
then let us discuss that rather than complaining about me wanting to discuss anything rumour related. Why is Techs rumour all erong? Give examples of how it is wrong. Or why you believe it is wrong.
For example, I think it is wrong as it's silly to leave it until last if you already wrote it. Or that Space Marines got a new set of shoulder pads every weeks to its stupid to think GW belive there are too many orks, or that there are no holes in the 8rk army, the holes were made by nerfing and over pointing units so that can easily be fixed with new rules, or why is gw waiting to see how the codex does before they make the models? The cost is primarily in design and molds so if that's already done then it would be stupid to not bring them out if the codex doesn't do so well, and the codex won't do as well if no new models are added... there is more! Orks are a 30 year old faction but they're still selling showing that there is money to be made, plenty of factions sell second hand, in fact more than orks (I can start a primaris army for less than £100 because of ebay dark Imperium)!
Sooooooo instead of simple making people complain at us that this thread is a waste ofmspace how about you actually present some evidence when calling someone out like I just did. Yes, I belive his rumour is false but I went into detail on why.

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

OHH NOO! HAVING TO WAIT A FEW MONTHS FOR YOUR CODEX! WHATEVER SHALL YOU DO! compared to where this game was when I started playing, a 4 or 5 month wait for a codex really isn't that long. it wasn't that long ago guys that unless you where a space marine, chances are you had to wait 2 editions for a codex. even in 7th, not everyone got a 7th edition codex.
Opinions are not facts please don't confuse the two

I think he was talking about waiting since the end of 4th edition for THE ork codex rather than the false prophets we got in between. The text implies that Ork player shave waited this long and then had to wait even longer. Like being atraved then offered food only for the person who offered it to go in the kitchen and never come back.
I was lucky. I was borne into the bad Ork codecies so I never new how good 4th or supposedly 5th was. I just know bad stuff so anything at all that doesn't seem like 7th will probably be okay to me.

Nope.
I'm out.
Wake me when there's some actual stuff worth discussing.
Keeping an eye out for the ork faction focus for killteam today. Based on the other faction focuses, it may have some minor tips about the upcoming release, but will primarily focus on killteam command abilities.

Mods, how is this post still up? It clearly violates rule 1?
Brian - just because something was EVEN WORSE before, it doesn't mean that we should be happy with something not as bad now. As JR said - even certain mini factions have had releases before Orks, a major race. It's yet another slap in the face of Ork players.

Not to mention, the game has seen the INTRODUCTION of two new factions while orks were waiting for their codex.
The fluff is like ketchup and mustard on a burger. Yes it's desirable, yes it makes things better, but no it doesn't fundamentally change what you're eating and no you shouldn't just drown the whole meal in it.

Isn't it Krogskullz and his Burna boyz? Are you really that ticked about getting a mekboy?

Though we can take at least one as the give the Kommando Nob a specific mention.

Interesting - apparently the Burna boyz kit can be built as Lootas. I could see a mixed squad being decent.

The lack of nobz in KT is disappointing, but hopefully you will be able to take unit upgrade characters like sergeants, alphas, nobz, spanners, etc. with the full choice of gear. The mention of the kommando nob at the end certainly implies you can.
Don't think there's much in the KT focus which really translates into 40k. Grot shields are fun, but more a call-back to old rules than a hint at new ones, I think.
Hmmm... i'm actually not sad about this article. It sounds pretty solid and mentioned the Gretchin Revolutionary Committee so I'm pretty happy gW even still remembers that (Gorkamorka hint?)
But I'm still confused on the burna boyz stuff. Like 1 is a nek but a mek isn't an option so will 1 be upgraded to a mek if you take full burnas? Is it like if you take full boyz you get a single nobz.. that's what the ladt part suggested. But if you can't mix then how do you get gretchins? Interesting.
The stratagems are cool and fluffy. Firing again for 1cp is nothing to scoff at but I just love that gretchin one based purely on fluffy rpg reasons alone. I love the idea of making a grot character you get really invested in but then you have a Boy who's about to get a bolter to the face so he picks up the hero grot and just uses him as a Shield and because he thinks it works it does. Haha... oh... this might be fun.
the grot strategem i think we can almost entirely assume will get translated to a full 40k version that where when an enemy declares shooting you can resolve it against the grots. Orks used to have this rule back in 3rd or 4th I can't really remember, just remember trying to kill orks at the time and only ever killed a crap ton of grots.
Grots granted a 5+ cover save to orks, and for each passed save a grot died. It was nice because the enemy still rolled to wound vs the Orks' toughness, then killed a grot.
The old meta is dead and the new meta struggles to be born. Now is the time of munchkins.
Okay, so the kill team faction focus for orks has next to no faction information aside from a couple of kill team strategems.
Total meh.
Wake me up when they have a preview for the new audiobook, or better yet a codex preview please.
As JR said - even certain mini factions have had releases before Orks, a major race. It's yet another slap in the face of Ork players.
To be honest, this is what annoys me more than anything else.
They've created what seems like well over a half dozen sub factions.
Lotd, GSC, harlq, deathwatch, knights, skitarii just off the top of my head. I'll grant that skit and knights are at least developed and got a correspondingly awesome model range, but the stuff they are releasing for GSC in particular blows my mind.
A teaser is in order. something. Just something. Anything. A shot of an elbow on a new model. Even the Kill team focus was all old units and it has zero specifics. A flash at a new release unit and a teaser description similar to the GSC article would be huge.
