Love this comment. I also noticed the 'targeting' Squig attached to the weapon, very cool!

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

Nice job on that screen cap. Shows the fist weapon well... PK + Grappling hook style kustom weapon? On some kind of PrimeOrk, or new SpeedFreek HQ Boss? Who appears to be riding on the back of a trike?

Warboss on Warbuggy?

Considering the primork lore, a primork would a lot bigger than a warboss. Probably the size of a dread, if not larger.

He looks really cool! I think this is just GW finally giving us a warboss on warbike model since that looks like a trike to me. My hype drive is now being augmented by shokkjump technology.

Looks like a cable reel on the front of that buggy it the screen cap, with a grappling hook mounted on the arm of the boss; harpoon weapon?

Ya Git! My hype drive is augmented by boosta-blasta technology, which is obviously better!

That presumed war boss looks freaking epic. Is that a Klaw with grappling hook?! Aka a ranged Klaw?! Yes please. He also looks beefed as all feth, like a proper boss should. Bet we have option to build Big Mek and Painboy/Painboss too.

I reckon there's even more to come and if this is what they're doing with our 'normal' bosses and boyz, imagine what Ghazzy will look like when he gets his due! Its a good time to be an Ork player.

Given that the speed freeks box art contains very faithful recreations of the two models we have seen, it stands to reason that we will also see a model of this, possibly as an alternative build of one of the other kits. That would make at least 4 new vehicles!!

i think the rumor about it being highly customizable is true. Thats what. FOUR noticeably different designs? oh boy...i really hope they get beefed up so i dont feel obligated to get 5+ of these to even attempt to use them (like they did with the mek gunz....ugh

I think the yellow one is my fav. I love the front bit and is it just me or does that look like a freakin' SAG-type element on its backside?
(nevermind the fact that my orks are mostly bad moonz so of course....yellow ftw hehe)

Nice.
Thats one aspect of orks i really wanted them to delve into more since it was so dangerous to both sides and the concept was cool. I always found it weird that there wasnt anything other than a bigmek, not even in Forgeworld, that has a SAG.
Heck not even the Morkanaut which is the only nonbigmek KFF has one. And i wish it did instead of a stupid KMK....

i have a theory.
they are phasing out the old warbuggy/wartrack/boss on bike models and or rules (left inside the index) and being replaced by these new buggies and that warboss looking fella in the back.

my reasoning, so far the 2 buggies we have seen are vastly different then what we have now, not only are they bigger but they are packed with unique weapons (and more then just one, the SAG version has rokets and some type of mek weapon on the front with what looks like a targeting squig). also they have their own unique names.

so i say dont hope GW will still support the old buggies and tracks, and just look forward to the new blood of green muscle cars. im at the same time hyped and a little sad. (its very much like the 1st reveal trailer with them smashing the old buggy, they are most likely doing that to some of our codex, at least the new stuff is frigging awesome)

No different to any other Codex and them not popping round your house and ripping up your Index. You can still use legacy stuff, just don't expect updates.

I have no issue with new rules for these new vehicles.

To be fair, the previous Buggies and Warbikes effectively fulfilled the same purpose and competed with each other for spots.

The new Kustom Boosta-Blasta and the Shokkjump Dragster are far too beautiful, intricate and honestly large models to be in the same league as their tiny predecessors.

Thinking about it, we also lack a tank equivalent outside of FW. Which is madness really when you consider it. The Battlewagon is much more transport than tank. These look to be the Orky equivalents of other factions' tanks - probably squishier, more damaging and faster than an average tank. Hopefully much more hilarious.

I really hope there's a mechanic for teleporting into enemy lines with the Dragster. I also hope the Boosta Blasta can do a drive-by flame too.

These 2 vehicles alone are pretty big for us because they potentially give us a unit type we haven't really had in the past outside of Forge World.

hes clearly holding up a mechanical arm but it doesnt look like a powerklaw to me, it looks like some kind of wrench/hammer composite arm. My money is on a mek related thing, not warboss. Theres also no bosspole and none of the warboss models lack on but meks often do.
