Ironjawz really do not have human physiology either, they're like gorillas too, just less cartoony. I want Orks like that. When I say this I don't mean normal boys should be that big, merely the proportions. Ironjawz brute size is good for nobs.

They don't look like gorillas at all, IMHO, save for (a tiny little bit) on the face. The rest? They're basically the Hulk, no gorilla there at all.

The difference is specially clear when comparing the old Black orcs (Ardboyz or whatever) with the new ones from the Ironskull's Boyz box:

https://www.games-workshop.com/es-ES/Etb-Ironjawz-Ironskulls-Boyz-2018

The new ones are basically built like the orcs from the WoW movie.

Out of all the new Orruks, Ironskull's Boys look the most like the old (Black) Orcs to me - far less different than the other Orruks, whose proportions look a bit "off", at least to me.

The difference is stark to me on these ones because they are supposed to be exactly the same orcs YMMV.

40k is a Saturday morning cartoon for adults. That's the appeal. It's tongue and cheek about some of the harshest subjects in our own world.

Nothing in 40k is realistic looking. Closest you get is a guard tank and even that lacks the suspension to even move. I mean, the majority of the factions in the game fight outside space suits as if every planet has the same atmosphere and every alien breathes the same air.

40k gets much worse as a game the more it tries to ground itself and stops embracing the schlock.

**Albertorius**

Agreed. We need more schlock

I dont think hes arguing about the realism, hes just saying that they look bad.

I do not agree.
Maybe true for those who likes Orks - but for the majority of the people in the hobby I know and play with it is the gritty, somewhat realistic, grimdark future that holds the key. I.e. more Bladerunner + Mad Max + Starship Troopers (done in Blanchitsu-style) than a cartoon. This also means that we have no interest in the Orks themselves - but the new vehicles will be very welcome!

**Bitharne**

Dunno what ya’ll are on about...but plastic Boyz are one of the best looking 40k kits there is: funny since it’s one of, if not the, oldest ones left.

There’s a ton of room for improvement like ascessory sprues for more varied gear; but the boys are a masterpiece of bloodthirsty, and hilarious little hooligans!

The basic boy kit got a fairly decent upgrade at the end of 5th edition.

**Kendo**

New Ork vehicle up on community page.

**Crimson**

Oo! That's my favourite of the cars! Very cool.

**SKR.HH**

Somebody definitely watched too much Mad Max while sculpting... Great one. Much better than the buggies.

**Oguhmek**

Yeah, that looks great. Love the Molotov cocktails.

**PiñaColada**

Huh, the Boomdakka Snazzwagon.. So it looks like the rumours were true.. We should then also be gettin a MegaTrakk Skrap-Jet and SQUIG BUGGIES

**lord_blackfang**

And the name confirms that there are two more to come, right?

**ceorron**

Looks cool.
Is that the same engine we say on the first?

No it is not, it is a different kit.

**JohnnyHell**

Grot Max is brilliant!

Check the grot hanging out the window. It’s the same kit as the first one.

Checked it next to each other, different grot (facing the other way). Different rear body is the biggest give away.

So is this one also in the box (seen as it is on the front cover) or is it going to be sold in a stand alone box?

**Tastyfish**

Just because they're not one kit, doesn't mean they aren't compatible though.Could easily be a case like the recent human infantry units - where despite being on different sprues for different models, there's enough common connection points that you can mix and match a lot of different bits - crew, fronts, wheels, spoilers/turrets etc.

Of course he is! My bad.

GW don’t seem to put things on the cover that ain’t in the box so I assume all four will be there. Whether or not they have full options is another matter. I think it would also be odd if these were all separate kits given how similar they are, but who knows with GW these days.

**An Actual Englishman**

Oh god.

You fools, you know what this means don't you? You remember the rumour I posted on the speculation/chat topic?

*ACTUAL RUMOUR*

According to Kirioth (guy who did video in OP) someone sent him the names of the Kustom Boosta-Blasta and Shokkjump Dragster (or whatever they're called) in advance of the announcement from Warhammer Community.

The person also gave the name of 3 other vehicles that he believes are coming. Bring but also pray, because some of these sound incredible;

"Boom-Dakka Snazz Wagon"
"Mega Trakk Scrap jet"
and my personal favourite;
"Squig Buggies"(!!!!!)

I don't think any of those is the rumoured boss vehicle either. It just doesn't sound like any of them to me, unless it's an alternative build of course.

Speculate away!

Megra Trakk Scrap Jet still to come.

SQUIG BUGGIES?!?!?!

AM I DREAMING?!

**Yodhrin**

See, now that's the kind of thing that I had in mind when folk started talking about an update to the Buggy. I even quite like the crew models, which is unusual for the more modern Ork designs.

**Vorian**

Ooh, I love those Orks on the new one.

No, no you are not!!!!

I hope the scrap jet really is as big as the BW, I can only imagine.

With those what is the model(s) we have been analysing? Surly not the Scrap Jet????
Actually what we must have been analysing is the rumored boss vehicle.

**highlord tamburlaine**

If these things play as well as they look, I'm tempted to get a few.

Would be fun to see them match Tau suits in terms of mobility and firepower.

**Mr_Rose**

Do… do you think that mega trakk scrap jet thing could be the trike that the big Ork with the grapnel is riding?

Like, nose wheel, two trakk units for rear drive, and a big ol’ jet engine for power?

**Elbows**

While that new one looks snazzy...as a non-Ork player I know that seeing them in grey plastic will become confusing if they're supposed to all be different vehicles. I wish they were far more identifiable...unless they're supposed to be two options of the same chassis.

Scrapjet could be anything. Could be boss vehicle but I reckon that'll have a different name. I'm beyond hyped at this point.

Squig Buggies man. Squig. Buggies. If we get a new warboss/lord model it'll be the end for me.

These new vehicles look incredible to paint as well. The blue scheme is great but of course I'll be hitting it up with red paint.

**PiñaColada**

Someone mentioned that the megatrakk skrap-jet could just be a plastic remake of the big trakk, since that vehicle actually fits the description quite well.

Not sure how likely that is though

Start googling up ramen recipes boyz, I have a feeling a lot of us will go hungry in Orktober
