Yeah. Looking at the blurry shots of the buggy sprues, both have 8 wheel halves but the other parts of the sprues are different. The red sprue looks like the buggy we have seen, with its wheel set into a curved rear panel. The yellow one is new.
There are definitely two sets of bikes in the other photo along with some scenery. 2 different buggies, 6 bikes and 2 scenery sprues would make 12 sprues total.
Maybe a similar price to kill team.

Seems like there is a good chance that the buggy box will make 2 buggies and we're looking at the two sprues which will come in that box, in two different colours. I really hope it's a 'killa kan' style release where they give you a bunch of models at a decent price but limited options for each one and not a 'mek gun' style one...

Hmmm so in that case I think I'll buy one box and hold out for a separate new Buggy release unless I cave and manage to get a LOT of painting done.

But I have soo many bikes....

I sort of hear yea, have at last count 60 ork bikes myself mostly looting other factions bikes though. might in this case see/hope that they sell for more on Ebay and get a few boxes for buggies and sell the bikes and bonus get to keep the terrain unless it makes more financial sense to just buy buggies.

I'm thinking we will getting 4 buggies in this to keep the teams equal.

I heard someone mention speedster, as in:



GW will most probably be keeping that back for the codex release in (maybe) November. If at all.

where did you hear novemmber? my gut feeling is that speed freaks will release along side codex orks.

And i maintain september. Fit gw release pattern they have maintaned for a year' keep with 3 month within frst official mention and doesn't make game and codex compete with sales with each other

Since they mentioned that this is the most modular kit they have produced, I imagine the 2 buggy sprues will make individual buggies, but also interact with each other to make another set of unique buggies.

At least that is what I am hoping for.

I believe that was a rumour from Hastings. While he has a good track record, it's a long way from an official statement by GW and from the way he said it he obviously doesn't know that much about this release.

I reckon we'll get codex in September too. Orktober might be for new model releases that follow from the codex in a campaign on Vigilus.

They might release the Speed Freeks boxed game well before the actual codex, kind of like how we got the Armiger Warglaives in Forgebane well before the Imperial Knights codex came out.

If they are releasing multiple kits I could see greater Orktober starting in September and ending in November. They seem to really draw out releases. They mentioned multiple vehicles, but who knows if there will be multiple kits? Maybe there will be easy to build and regular versions of the same kit. Maybe the terrain will be packaged separately. I could see them taking what's in the Speed Freeks box and combined with the standard Codex, cards and dice stretching it out into a six week release.

I'm sure that if nothing else, the terrain will be pulling double duty as Kill Team battlezone scrapyard.

Or they could do end of September, beginning of October release and have them back to back.

We're all thinking they same thing, right - Mad Max style game with ramshackle ork buggies . Sounds epic!

Assuming Hastings is up to date (I suspect he's right, but since he get info at an early stage it's all very subject to change) it sounds like the sprues in this box set may well be easy build versions

like the Foetid Bloat Drone from Dark Imperium (no options)compared to the full kit which released as a stand alone later (loads of options), if so fingers crossed they're as easy to cross build with

if its supposed to be a highly customizable model i could see the kit-box one being easy build.
Also 4 more sprues of bikers? eesh, i dont even use the 30 i got rofl

A customisable model from GW? They remember how to do that? I'd be surprised what with all this mono pose stuff and muti part monopose

Sorry I couldn’t hear you over all the sprues of posable/customizable Admech, GSC and even terrain I just got in Kill Team.

Which would break previous release patterns, break "within 3 months of first official hint" and top of that they would compete with each other on same sales. Would seem unusual move for GW to do.

Meanwhile 1.9 preorder for codex would fit with previous release patterns, fit within 3 months of first official teaser and have enough gap to october boxed game to not compete with ork codex+whatever possible kits orks might get.

Why would you assume that these aren't the "full" kit?

I just do. For one, I expect the full kit to have all the existing options and I don't think these sprues do.

Also the rumour? From Hastings? That there's a more substantial kit to follow?

Has it been confirmed if the Speed Freaks game has two buggies or one buggy and one wartrakk?

You can tell from the photos it's 2 different buggies, as each sprue has 8 wheel halves.

Yeah, the GoMo Orks are the step between the Kev White Orks and the now iconic Brian Nelson Orks. And I believe Brian Nelson did them, too.

And yes, it was a major flop, mostly because they made way too many boxes of it.

The fact that they were giving them away with one year White Dwarf subscriptions says a lot. That how I got mine. Played it very few times cause it was silly: Ork getting run over by a buggy takes a strength 3 hit? Right...

2 buggies, 2 bikes, and some scenery. Expect it, the same as the other releases... GW is running on all cylinders in the right direction with the wind of the road!

Lord Humongous Approves! Orktober...

They didn't ever release the new Deffkopta separately did they?
They have to be coming as well.

This buggy looks absolutely incredible and I can't wait to buy this.

Actually, from some of the pics, it looks like there are two warbike sprues, each with two bikes. So, it looks like a minimum of two buggies and four bikes.

The Warbike sprues have 3 bikes. That's what's in the kit.
