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.

They were in last Chapter Approved, seems a crazy thing not to use the 8th ed VDR rules for on the back of a big ork release. Even if it its Open and Narrative only

Perhaps the "trike" vehicle is in front of that guant ork? Obscuring its legs? Could it be a giant, beast ork? The rumoured prime ork ghazghkull?

In Evil sun colours? And without armour, seems a push. Non weapon arm seems in an odd pose for an individual model too, compared to holding something.

Picture looks like a warboss on a bike or possibly a trike to me

That would be a very big warboss. If he's on a trike, I'd be very tempted to take his torso and kitbash him some legs to make him a normal warboss. The possibilities are endless.

Where? Can you do a screenshot?

This thing, behind the other buggy

the looks like the other new buggy, the green thing is the boy on the turret of the big gun with the stickbomb in his hand and the front grill of the vehicle has the same tusks as the new buggy.

**Uriels_Flame**

Trucks have claws, so a boss being able to wield a claw off the back of a trike would be awesome.

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???

I guess it could be a Warboss on bike/trike similiar to the original Nob biker model.

Whoops, double post

Good call Warhams! The new one certainly looks like it found some inspiration in the old nob biker model.

Every time I look at that new warboss I'm a bit blown away from just how big he looks. Not just the arms (the left arm seems to have something behind it) but also how barrel chested he is.

I wonder what sort of stats he's going to get. Something like this maybe?
M14" WS2+ BS4+ S8 T6 W8(9?) A5 L8 Sv3+

**Warhams-77**

Re-reading GW's anouncement it seems Speed Freeks is going to be based on the concept of Gorkamorka in general and the Dark Future gameplay. The latter's starter set content looks quite similiar
too.

**An Actual Englishman**

If we're getting this jacked up warboss on Trike GW will almost certainly release a beefcake war boss on foot too. We don't have a decent war boss model currently so it would make perfect sense and remember 'tip of the iceberg'.

I'm not so bothered about looted wagon rules so long as the rules for these is decent. They'll probably release them as a narrative supplement only for reasons of balance

Spoiler:

I wonder whether they might do a truck variant with an additional sprue, like the “new” flyer they released? Would be a quick and easy way to expand the range.

**PiñaColada**

If we got an additional sprue for the battlewagon I'd be so happy. Giving it an option for a boyz platform or something like that would be amazing.

Basically grants +10 or 12 capacity. Battlewagon cannot also have either an 'ard case or any of the big gun upgrades.

Full sized unit of boyz transported alongside a character or two that can shoot out of the open topped vehicle? Yes please

**lord_blackfang**

I'd rather have a sprue that upgrades it to a main battle tank

Think you are right.

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.

Especially for scratch builds.

I still remember seeing pics of some arse that’s had built Orky Bill Board Trukks, specifically to block LoS. Not base related, but when you see just how far some are willing to go, the more standardisation you can shoehorn in, the harder it is for them to try it on.

**Tamereth**

The buggies look good on a base, but can you image the size base a land raider would need?

Would likely have trouble moving on a road then with the base giving headache :lol:

I remember a story from an Ork player at a tournament. He chose to field an Ork Dreadnought from 2nd which came in the box as a cardboard. It was not surprising that his opponents went apeshit about this because he could screen stuff perfectly behind the cardboard. Referees judged that the cardboard was an officical GW product and he got away with it.

While absolutely hilarious, that is the kind of nonsense I try to avoid

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

Yeah I have to agree, now that I have seen the enhanced picture.

If I had to guess the model in front is likely the new wartrakk (seen as the buggies don't seem to have trakks coming with them).

And the model behind, a really big warboss on warbike (and possibly gutsmek included, as an option).

Infact you can see his squig next to him, must be a warboss, tbh.

**lord_blackfang**

I don't think the orange things are squigs - the teeth are cog-like, not pointy. But I agree the "warboss" and "trakk" are seperate models. It would make no sense for him to sit on it sideways.

**lolman1c**

It could be a trick of the camera as well. Was hoping we would hear more this festival but it was just better screenshots of what we already knew.

**stormboy**

Hopefully we see the complete box at NOVA in a couple weeks.

**Dread Master**

That warboss has a grappling hook launcher on his power klaw. That is super cool.

**Uriels_Flame**

Orks need something: maybe the grappling hook will allow them to hit aeldari vehicles now...

I think you're right, could indeed be another case of GW delving into their older stuff for inspiration.

If only there was some kind of a traktor beam

**timetowaste85**

How much is it rumored to cost?
