Do they have anything lined up for September (assuming SW is August)?

The Orktober thing made me a bit worried but we shall see

I believe SW aren't until September. If I've got this right, Tooth & Claw is up for pre-order 25th August, released 1st September. Actual Space Wolf codex is going to be at least one week later, probably two. Meanwhile they also have the second wave of Adeptus Titanicus miniatures (warhounds and possibly reavers or different knights), some more Kill Team stuff (Rogue Trader, maybe more), the new Middle Earth game and probably more Age of Sigmar stuff all due out extremely soon, so September is going to be pretty busy even if the main SW release is just a book, character and upgrade sprue. They might also release the GC stuff from Tooth and Claw in their own boxes.

So I wouldn't expect any ork stuff before October. I suspect it will probably be the boxed game first, followed by some other new models, then the codex along with the buggies.

OMG Thank you GW!

You just earned a lot of teef. Payday for you in Orktober!

Space Wolf Codex pre-order was already announced for this weekend, so it will be released same day Tooth & Claw goes up for pre-order

Btw actually this reinforces my feeling codex is september. Especially if codex is accompanied by other models. Gw wouldn't want too many ork releases at the same time competing with each other. Part in september, part in october gives both full impact on release.

What kind of gun is on the top of the buggy?

Wouldn't be surprised to see some new wargear.

Absolutely buzzing for this though! I love Speed Freeks and I'm hoping they update Trukks alongside them (they won't, but I'd like easier kits to assemble).

Right, well now I paint Evil Sunz!

I've been curious about that myself. Looks like some sort of kannon maybe?

Likely new invention with stats that make old guns look paltry

that new buggy looks amazing.... must resist the temptation to buy an entirely new plastic army... Must stop buying hordes

Kult of Speed can be a pretty low model count army depending on how you build it.

Of course it's a pretty terrible army in terms of rules right now, but with the codex coming fairly soon there's a good chance that will be fixed.

Well. Now I have a guideline for my Ork procrastination. 150 boyz ready to paint up by Orktober.

I do like that advert

True enough, that's how it usually goes.

I'll let you in on a little secret as to why it's worth it though, just don't tell anyone.

...so, now that orks got more vehicle models in 2018 than all other 40K factions combined...

...what will poor complain WAAAGH do now? will it *gasp* stop?

Oh, no, we'll find something new to complain about. This is the internet, after all. I'm gonna predict it's the increasing chances of an October release date for our codex.

I'm just stoked to get buggy models that don't look like complete garbage.

When were the Repulsor and all those Nurgley vehicles released again?

Irbis quieten down. This release has been 20 years coming.

Knights are vehicles.

Better vehicle models, I grant you. But then you don't need to restrict that to 2018.

Knights got a total of 4 new kits, (5 if you include the AT ones, which no more count then you'd accept a blood bowl Ork release as a 40k ork release) it's POSSIABLE Orks could get more. although Orks likely aren't going to have the "differant weapons, differant kit" situation that IK players got.

5th one is coming later this year.

true I'd forgotten about that

The stompa. We will probably complain about the stompa.

I just hope with the new UGE oomie IK (Valient and Castillan) costing what they do, and putting out that much dakka and melee dmg that the GW's playtesters address it and put the stompa where it should be, in the upper 400 point range. especially when you factor in that many of our shooting weapons get less than 1 hit on average per turn... like our big scary super rokkits - d3 shots, average 2 shots, so we hit with .66 super rokkits per turn 0.o Then the other big one the deffkannon d6 shots so average 3.5 shots. woohoo 1.15 average hits, but that can skyrocket to 2.3 hits if we shoot at a unit of 10+ models... wew infantry shredding with a str 10 ap -4 gun? I get that it has 40 wounds and that is what they probably used to justify the ~1k points cost, but it should be apparent by now that he stompa is useless in the shooting phase and against many armies dies before it hits combat the one thing it is good (literally the same as the new big IK) at

I'm sorry to inform you but Orks have actually used up their quota of complaining for the year now. Now that new content has been confirmed the original leeway on the volume of ork related complaints has come to an end. From now on you can only compliment or at best give neutral responses.

You'll get a fresh allocation of complaint tickets when the new Complaint Committee reviews the situation in the new Calendar year. That is provided that you fill in forms 1-20 in triplicate and provide a down payment of at least 15 teef per ork. This must all be done before the Calendar year otherwise you'll void complaint tickets until the full meeting at the following financial year.

I hope we get more that just a buggy, and that that something ain't just a big humanoid walker. I'd rather like a... big crab walker, or maybe boyz or nobz with more esoteric equipment.. Orky robots, like giant spiders - that are either remote controlled or with a crude ai - those would be cool. Cheap Tellyportas dropped from orbit like droppods would be nice. Oh, and It would also be nice to get 'Ard boys back too, maybe like the ones in that Space Marine game that had tower shields.
