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.

But the SAG big mek isn't an old model and this guy seems much bigger to me..

Agreed.

This guy looks to be a unit. If he's *just* a Big Mek, our Warbosses better get in da gym.

He looks bigger than current Ghazzy to be honest....

Reckon I might just get this.

I’ve got a non-gaming friend that’s mad about this sort of vehicle. Apparently, they’re referred to as ‘Rat Mobiles’?

I’ve sent him a pic of the Blasta-Boosta, and he’s keen.

Those things are so freakishly cool. I hope I can do one like the old, squat buggies with twin linked guns on top as a mobile fire support vehicle for a kill team of Blood Axes in a truck.

I built a ton of Ork-size "commando" guns like MP5, Aksu, Scorpion etc a decade ago, nominally for Gorkamorka bands, but the vehicles stopped me so far. Maybe now it is time.

I also notice this in the video minute 0.52 you can clearly see the big ork behind but there is also an ODD yellow vehicle at the right side wich looks like a Wartrack or Warbike new model.

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!!

that looks very much like you can build it from the yellow one with an alt nose cone

This thing? It's just a normal warbike.

its a yellow warbike which is probably why it looks odd.
I dont think ive ever seen a single warbike in yellow personally. Not even mine are yellow and i typically paint in bad moonz lol.

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....

Indeed. The Eldar can barely maintain the remains of their wenway network, humanity were reduced to trying to break in, and the Orks have a portable machine to generate webway tunnels.

Well to be fair that's not really safe method though as the snotlings go crazy seeing all the daemons there.

Only Orks would weaponise teleportation technology rather than use it for logistics and comfort

Which is why Orks rock .

I don't have an Ork collection (really I don't play 40k, just KT), but I'll probably be picking up Speed Freeks if only for a chance to paint some Orks up and play little demolition derby games.

Also, GW's marketing team has taken it to a next level. I love the little bits of humor in their videos now. "Riding off into the the Evil Sunset..." almost had my coffee out my nose.

Did a little photoshop; not sure it helps, but I'm pretty sure that round thing in front with glyphs on either side is a wheel, which would make this a trike of some sort. Hmmm, or a new version of a wartrak???

This one looks new to me as well:

Does it look like it could be a white and green big gun in the top right as well? Up on the top of the rocks

Guys, I think that’s two separate models, the giant ork in the background and another model in front or on top.

Where? Can you do a screenshot?

Everyone has been calling for a new Warboss model. Seeing as they are going big with Speed Freeks, would make sense for them to have a mounted Warboss to go with them.

Also looks like the box comes with 2xBuggies and 6xbikes... Those Bikes would like a Warboss to lead them!

Not sure if anyone has flagged this yet but (with thanks to Timd's enhanced image) - rumour engine dated 23rd August 2017 perhaps?

LordShaft.

Sure looks like it.

Not sure that is a trike. Front wheel looks more like a winch Cable of some kind, no?

And the body is too long for the rear wheels to be actual rear wheels? Body work definitely extends out behind.

Bit confused as to why such large vehicles are on bases.

GW wanted to nerf the new buggies before they get even released :-/

This thing, behind the other buggy

They look great though, they could suck on the table for all I care.

Looks to me like twin tires at speed. Treaded tires look like that when spinning fast.

I'm not seeing any rear wheels. What is it you see that are rear wheels? Extended bodywork could sit on tracks...

I suspect that it is the start of a gradual move towards everything being on bases, as it's easier rules-wise - gives you a clearly defined and consistent boundary for the model, regardless of how it is built.

I think that's a trukk's big shoota mount. Just to the left you can make out the engine's air intake and the blurry outline seems to be roughly trukk shaped.

One of these with the top half in green and white? Seems to high with where the cab is, and with a gun shield.
I can see how the crossbeams could be a trukk, but if they are it's a big gun mounted above it.

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.

I was at Warhammerfest today and Wade Pryce was hinting at this 'shock attack engine dragster' being able to use the warp when it is not going fast enough. We'll see if that's only in speedfreeks or also in 40K.

Of more interest to me and some others, I couldn't help but ask him about the possible return of the Looted wagon rules. He was a bit reluctant to answer but said something on the lines that we might see it return in chapter approved like the 'Design your own Landraider rules' (don't know about those). I don't mind how we get the rules, but as long as I'll be able to field my fleet of looted vehicles again I'm happy.

I don't imagine GW would make a shokkjump dragsta and not give it those movement rules in 40K proper.
