God dammit, haven’t bought anything GW for a few years, only one item in all that time and that was the calth box that i put to one side.
Now there’s this, the new lord of the rings box, killteam and space wolves. Hell where do I start. You guys at GWhq have my full attention and most of my spare cash for the rest of this year at least.
Good times ahead me thinks.

Soooooo, eventually it surfaces, I’ve heard about this in one form or another for the best part of 2 years, I was getting worried when it was taking so long and “gretchinz” turned up.....
So what have I heard about this...
1/ it’s a self contained game, kind of a cross between dark future and gorkamorka but with a new twist.
2/ there will be a campaign type system for upgrading buggies and drivers etc. I don’t know if these are in the box or through a supplement/white dwarf.
3/ the buggies, the classic (ancient) buggy has had a total revamp and is unrecognisable now, however.... the buggies in this box set might not be the actual buggies that form the main release for 40k, they might be kind of like an “easy to build” type version. I heard the new buggy kit is THE most kustomisable kit that GW has ever done, with talk of wheels and tracks and bits to make scorchas etc as well as brand new variants.
4/ warbikes, trukks and even helicopters might be usable in the game, though not straight out of the box.
Well, that buggy looks freaking great and if Hastings is correct, I'm looking forward to all of the variants....

Unlikely. Kustom-mega-whatever weapons have had a pretty consistent look on recent ork models; a solid 'barrel' with a notch, some kind of tesla coil like thing underneath that at an angle, a slightly rounded rectangular block with horizontal slots in it behind that and a two-piece sphere at the back. The only exceptions are the ones on grot tanks, but those are Forge World.
Am I the only one a little sad to see them smash the old warbuggy with a giant wrench? I mean, its super old and derpy, but some part of me goes AAAAAAAAAAGH when I see models smashed like that.

I mean it cost them a few bucks in material but hopefully they will incorperate the smashed buggy into terrain somehow.

I also had a brief pang of guilt then I saw the new model and forgot all about it.

They's definitely at least some bikes in the set, on the red team.
Also - the scrap piles and barricades that are part of the black sprue...include ramps and jumps. Sold.

Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit, it's actually legit. Looks like this is going to be the first box set I actually buy.

No, it was old and ugly - but it gave them 20+ years of service! No need to smash it up.
