if you look at gw facebook comments with ork players constantly asking about the codex the facebook team has given various comments but one stood out to me

poster 1 " Its been a long day at work and you guys posted quite a bit today, so here is my obligatory ork codex post. "

poster 2 "keep at it, GW needs to be constantly reminded of their lack of support for a portion of their paying customers.many ork players over many forums across the web have very similar sentiments that if the codex sucks and there are no new models that they are strait up shelving their ork armies. a dedicated player base can only take soooo much neglect."

GW poper "...indeed! Many Ork fans have been reminding the Community Team that they have not got a codex yet; so much so, that we are well aware!

The release schedule is set now, so, while we love hearing from passionate hobbyists, we can’t change it now.

BUT what we can say is that it’s coming, it’s coming real soon, and that you or the folks on forums you mention will not be disappointed.

We know we have a dedicated Ork fan base, which is why we have got what we have got coming. We’ll say no more for now, but watch this space for all the latest as and when we reveal it!"

now i know this is the facebook team, and they rarely say anything out of turn (for example they dont give release dates). maybe we will get something during warhammer fest, or the week after, but they seem to be breaking under the ork community concerns and maybe are hinting more and more about the quality and how "soon" we can expect news form it.

while many would say to "stop hounding poor GW", but weight of concerned customers is what brings change in GW, we wouldn't have sisters in the pipe if it wasn't for community feedback.

i personally dont think we should hound them about when the codex will come out (they've never caved to answer a question like that), but i do condone hounding them for ork related articles, for ork teasers, for literaly any ork news.

Honestly, if the Ork codex is crap I think i'll join that list and shelve the army and go spend my hobby money elsewhere. I know that would make the wife happy if nothing else

Well, the one thing you can take away from that, is that Ork Codex has gone to the printers. Otherwise, the release date wouldn't be set

The thing with this is - the community team says every codex is going to be amazing and blow us away. They said it for the Grey Knight codex. They said it for the Deathwatch codex. Pick a codex and you'll see they said the same thing.

"... why we have got what we have got coming" is an interesting statement though and implies more than just codex but it could be anything or it could be nothing. When was this posted and to what news? The SW vs GSC pic?

I completely agree with the sentiment though, hounding GW is not a negative, its feedback from customers. They should be lapping it up to be honest. As you rightly say - the same hounding got sisters their new line of models for next year.

My understanding is that the big community survey they did last year is what got Sisters put in the pipeline.

this is where i got the responses, it starts with Scott LaFountain

Yeah, I would be sick of Orks by now? The community team arn't in control of the schedule. All they can do is say that we want it a lot which the devs already know.

LOL true, but at the same time they decided to go on social media and advertise and get customer feedback, If they are honestly surprised that arguably the most neglected MAIN army in the game is at its breaking point and rightly ticked off at the lackluster rules since 4th edition then I don't know what to tell them. I mean, if you piss off a friend often enough they turn into an enemy. Same is true with a loyal fan base.

I guess I'm a bit sad that orks aren't mentioned in that post instead of GSC, but honestly I'm just happy that we're getting some 40k mentions again.

I must've missed them?

The only mentions I've seen is from fans asking for news.

Whelp, SW are officially next codex which is being announced next week. We should be next then, september?

Nope, orktober

Is anyone else just a little bit miffed that after the whole "oh orks and SW are coming next" that it's SW and GSC getting not only a box set, but new models without even a hint of anything ork-related on the horizon?

this is GW right now

Yes.

I'm also pretty concerned because "new" GW has been telling SW players that; "the wait will totally be worth it! OMGosh just you wait and see how awesome the SW codex will be you guys!!!!111one" and all they're getting by the looks of things is the exact same thing that BA/DA had about 9 months ago....

Makes me think all of their statements around our codex are utter bollocks. We'll see next weekend what the future holds, if anything at all (at Warhammer Fest, which will probably focus on Rogue Trader and The Fields of Pellenor).

the space wolf codex is exactly what I expected. the primaris range, with upgrade sprues, (rumor has it with a new wolf priest primaris which I hope is true.) a new primaris Leuitenant, access to the old HH era termies, and a conversion item or two. what was announced more or less meets my expectations. I wasn't expecting a raft of new SW models because TBH it wasn't really needed.

Then why release the codex so late and not with the BA/DA dex?

Money. As always.

its kind of funny, during the whole reveal video for the new gsc sw box set the guy keeps mentioning "orks as well" despite them not having anything to do with the box set. it seems they are thinking they can ease the ork players with barely mentioning them in another factions release.

I had exactly the same thought.

Or maybe there'll be some weak ass tie-in when our dex finally drops.

See, my guess had always been that GW originally meant for all 3 factions to come out in a super big box set, or possibly a combined release with a massive campaign. But they realized that it would be rather expensive for the customers and as such they wouldn't be very likely to buy. But as always, just a guess.

You say that but the Titanicus box set is around $280 for eight models. I don't think GW knows what the term "too expensive" means.

looks like no ork related articles in august whitedwarf, so i thinks its safe to bet nothing is coming in August and most likely September too (might get a preview or something in September white dwarf)

There is no mention of space Wolves (and they are rumoured for preorder 25 August). If true it means we will be September and beyond.

I'm betting it will be wolf's only September, and Orks in "Orktober" buckle up lads, this is going to be a long and boring ride.

Space wolf codex pre-order is confirmed for 25th August, it means we'll be seeing no Ork stuff until September (Thats assuming GSC do not get a codex before Orks).
Looks like this waiting room thread is going to get that little bit longer.

I thought the WC article said that the SW codex, the box set and the Plague marine thing would be up for pre order next Saturday, which would put the SW codex out on the 25th. Still probably means orks im September at the earliest though

Wait, am I wrong in thinking Death Guard got new models?

iirc they're re-releasing some limited edition models from earlier for killteam

 lolman1c wrote:

sounds like a release of old ones, my guess is that they're the 3 extra death guard that are in dark Imperium that you can now buy seperately.

Those are the three models GW tried to market as "Plague Bretheren" which was pretty much just three regular plague marines plus a bunch of paper.

Those are three are not available from any of the starter sets.

Thing is those teasers will come WHEN IT'S ORKS TURN!

You get teasers for NEXT CODEX. Not codex after next codex. Guess what? SW is next codex. You will have SW teasers now. Ork teasers will come after that. It's always been automatic teasers of codex will start WHEN ORK CODEX IS NEXT ONE TO COME! You didn't get tyranid teasers when next codex was Imperial Guard either.

No. Because GW also let out that cult is getting models before their codex.

Ork teasers will come when orks are next codex. Which, funny that, is after wolves since those 2 are next 2 codexes.

Which they don't. Do people even read what GW said? They flat out told next 2 codexes. They also told cult is getting models before they get codex. Things are lining up EXACTLY AS GW TOLD THEY WOULD! And people then start making conspiracy theories that cult codex somehow would be before orks? Lol.

Calm your rustled jimmies.

Where's the conspiracy theory in my post? I flat out state I'm assuming Orks are getting a codex before GSC.

As a side note, I *do* remember seeing it mentioned somewhere that GW announced that the Ork codex was coming out before space wolves.
