the 40k facebook post of that article is filled with ork players both pleased to see anything ork related from GW, but also disappointed because they almost had the briefest moment of hope that it was a teaser for codex orks.

i can see it now how it went down at GW HQ

community team member "wow, many ork players keep asking for any rumors for their codex...and i think we might lose them if we dont do something soon"

GW higher up "hmm, we cant spend the time of our article writers, they are too busy with writing articles for titanicus and killteam...wait, quickly check the inbox"

community team member "well we recently got some pictures from a fan of his ork models, they are actually very well done, even better then our own ork collection..;"

GW higher up "perfect, quickly,post those right now, that should tie them over till we release their codex next year....or eventually"

community team member "but sire, wouldn't they prefer to have an article talking about how good their codex will be?"

GW higher up "what? are you mad, their codex is a stinking mess, we would be hanging ourselves if we did any article about that dumpster-fire in the form of rules!"

community team member "fair enough, posting the pics."

right now we've got adeptus titancus in the pipe, they'll be hyping that, generally GW doesn't hype item 2 before item 1 is released.

on another note... it occurs to me, would a Morkanought be about right for a stompa or even gargant in the upcoming AT?

Interestingly, Titanicus comes out next weekend which is also when Warhammer Fest Europe is. Hopefully since Titanicus will be "released", we will get some news on the next codex at warhammer fest (whether its wolves or orks)

I jnow this isn't a Titanicus thread hut that product kijda highlights how I see GW right now. They're tryingnto do the right thing in all the wrong ways.

We asked for Epic, they listened and gave us imperial Horus heresy, so we say "yey at least I can use my old epic army", they listen and make it 8mm making everything in the past inferior, we say "at least if this does well they will make 40k epic and this might be a fun thing to domon the side", they listen and make the most expensive kit they have done in years from plastic models and make it limited edition so a lot of the potential casual audience is turned off (who buys a kot for that price for models to a new game you don't k ow much about or don't know if it will be any good in a year... never mind the poor Australians and Asias who would have to pay about £300 for it).

It's what worries me about orks and brings up an article I read from the GW cofounder who said the marketing team had taken over design (this was like 4 or 5 years old article i think). GW is listening and I do feel their design team is trying to make a fun game but marketing and the hiher ups do what they always do.

Man GW have kept the Ork leaks tight this time =/

The lack of any leaks at all disturbs me.

That'd be my guess. they;'ll come in comment about how much people lov ed AT and "you'll like what's coming up even more" likely they'll show off the codices, the reiver and warhound for AT, and maybe some other stuff, I noticed the list of BL novels for november is REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY thin last time it was this thin was because DI was launching and they didn't wanna spoil it with a novel being on the coming up list before they announced it

Heh, maybe Titanicus will have new rules that make Stompas usable...that would be a bit of happy for the green guys...? One can always hope.

Did Grukk ever get any rules for 8th edition?

No, not yet. Probably in the codex?

Grukk was squatted, among with most other 7th edition characters that were not part of a codex.

Looks like wolves are up first; GW page just droped a big hint

Looks like the ork boxset isnt happening

Strange, it looks like GSC vs Space Wolves in that picture. So can we assume that orks will be dead last?

I hope so. But I fear this means GSC & Wolves are ahead of Orks in line.

WC said orks and SW are the next two codexes and that GC will get something before their codex. I guess that means this box will have the new GC aberrants and characters, but they may have to wait a bit longer for their codex. SW are presumably before orks, probably due to release shortly after this box set of whatever it is, like the new knights with forgebane. Not clear if this is a stand-alone game, an alternative 40k starter box or another variant of kill team.

This news is yet another disappointing slap in the face.

No orks vs sw box set.

If we get no new models with the codex release I'm walking away. GW are repeatedly taking the piss out of ork players and I'm getting real sick of it.

To be fair we don't actually know what this picture is from. It very well just could be from the Space Wolves codex or something.

The artwork features both the new aberrant model and the gunslinger......

an ork vs SW set always struck me as an.. odd choice given stormclaw.

Probably going to be a Forgebane-style release with a mix of old and new miniatures and a few custom scenarios.

I’m guessing the Gorkamorka rumors will turn out to be something similar for Orks, but we’ll have to wait a while to find out.

I just want a codex that allow me to field Burnas, Lootas, Trukk boyz, Stompas etc. without auto-losing the game. Today I simply can’t do that, and it makes me a bit sad. It takes away a lot of the pleasure of converting and painting, so I find myself spending much more time with my other armies instead. Why should I ever finish off my halfway done Loota mob, if I know that in the game they will hardly kill anything before dying to a stiff breeze? I might as well just leave them home, hell I might as well leave all my Orks at home and bring my Necrons instead, with them I at least have a half decent chance...

Yeah, but all we can still do really is speculate till GW states anything concrete.

I don't see no Orks vs Wolves box as a slap in the face, since such a box was only ever a rumor.

I would like a new Ork box. We might still get one. I'm happy that 40k news is starting back up.

indeed, do Ork players really need to spend a buncha money to get space marines?

The lack of an Ork vs Wolves box makes it all the more likely we get no new models, rumour or not.

Exactly this.
I would have zero interest in the not Ork models and no one to split such a box with or desire to fool around with selling the other half. I would just skip that box.

or it means the new models aren't likely to be mostly infantry. if Orks are getting a new Trukk, a new warboss and some new tank, , a starter box style box might not really be a chance to show those off.

I hope you're right though I can't see a new trunk or tank, personally.

A new warboss and any other model would be welcome. I'd like new Ghazzy and buggies, personally.

We honestly need a non-FW tank. The battlewagon at its current cost is laughably poor as a tank, not to mention its BS being crap. We need a cheap tank we can field in squads, like looted Leman Russes or something.

Haha, what if SW and GSC all get a fantastic range of new models and aorks (thenone faction rumored for new models) get nothing. XD oh, I would kinda find it funny after reading mo ths and months of rumour threads.
