Oh boy, we're back to "GW hates orks" because we haven't had ork info on September 24th, which appears to be part of October now.

Abandon thread.

I must've missed those 'GW hates Orks posts'. Care to quote them?

I don't think its odd people expected Orks to be the first thing released in what GW have defined is "Orktober". Particularly since we've already had previews for Speed Freeks.

Yes it was odd. Especially as this saturday is not october. Funny that being after all 29.9.

This Saturday's pre order releases October so not especially far fetched was it?!

Why are you pretending to be stupid? The first release of ORKtober doesn't include Orks. People are disappointed by this. It all seems pretty reasonable to me.

It's not the pre order that counts, but rather the date of release for the sake of month validity, which means we got 3 weeks before the date that sets in nov. Now, if we lucky that leaves one week for speedfreeks, and two/one for the entirety of the ork release

Its how he is. He likes to take a feigned high road with things that make no sense.

You're correct in that its reasonable, expected even, that the first release in Orktober not being Orks is disappointing.

I'm now reading all these comments in Mr. Torque's voice.

"ARE YOU STUPID?! I AM DISSAPOINTED BY THE FIRST SIX DAYS OF ORKTOBER NOT ACTUALLY RELEASING ALL THE ORK STUFF! ORKS DESERVE BETTER! IT IS COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE OF ME TO EXPECT ORK RELEASES TO BE ON ANY OF THE OTHER TWENTY-FIVE DAYS OF ORKTOBER! ALL DAYS BUT THE FIRST SIX ARE INFERIOR DAYS OF OCTOBER AND NOT WORTHY OF ORKS. YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAOW! *making sounds that sound like a guitar solo."

I mean, only IF you falsely believed that Orks would be the first/only releases in october without any kind of logical basis for those beliefs besides "dur its orktober guys."
I don't recommend getting upset for people who are upset their baseless expectations haven't been met.
Until GW says the entire month belongs solely to orks, people need to calm down. It's plastic toy soldiers for crying out loud.

Yeah, I'm not arguing this with you again, we already came to a consent on this. You do your thing, and I'll just ignore you until we have actual ork stuff to talk about.

Okay, you guys enjoy huffing your own farts and I'll see you in a week or two.

No logical basis except for GW naming the very month itself after Orks, repeatedly stating all over Facebook that 'the wait will soon be over because 'Orktober' is coming' and noting how Orks everywhere are pissed off because the wait has already been too long but they're going to make up for it, guess when, in October!!

Yep. Not logical for fans of the faction to think that at all. Its not like GW have repeatedly led everyone to believe such. /s

They're obviously going to be dragging us through the Orktober thing in the form of agonizing teasers and promos.

One thing I've learned with Orks and GW is just simply to accept that it's going to be a long, drawn out affair.

Ultimately I just want to see a creative and interesting codex instead of the uninspired and uninteresting book that was the 7th ed codex. The 4th codex was laugh out loud funny, inspiring and a great read with plenty of fluff and crunch. It's the product I'm looking for here. I've already been waiting for 6 years. If this book ends up the same as the last one, I'll be waiting for another 2 years at least for the next rehash.

I don't think there's any guarantee on the exact release date. But it's obvious that it's not next week, lol.

I love how ork players are just like orks.

In the abscence of an external enemy, they will enter a state of internal struggle and in-fighting until a new threat arises.

And tell me where the logical basis for the first week of orktober being an ork only release is? You can't, because there isn't anything but an assumption about what "orktober" means. The word/phrase is not defined.
The general consensus amongst rationally thinking folks is that 'orktober' means;
Ork products will be released during the month of october.

You think you know it means;
Ork products will be released every week because otherwise how dare they.

Now show me how I'm wrong without relying on further assumptions, emotional outbursts, insults or other ignorant/ignoble methods.
Protip; you can't, because I'm not. Take a chill pill. You'll get your green mad max analogs.

I told you - this is something GW have led myself and others to believe. Look on the Facebook page, there are a ton of pissed off Orks. Perhaps GW should learn from their slowed marketing disasters? Also I know full well GW don't have to release any Orks in October at all. If I'm not mistaken they haven't promised anything. It would be a foolish move though, from a business perspective as at least one customer of theirs leaves the hobby (and takes their wallet with them).

Its pretty stupid to build up a marketing spiel around, as you've stated, 'Ork products will be released during the month of October' and have the first release of October to not be an Ork product. If you can't see why that is not only poor, but stupid marketing I guess you can continue to enjoy that koolaid. I'm pretty sick of white knights defending every dumb thing GW does and blaming the customer for reacting negatively when GW heavily suggests its going to do something then fails to deliver.

Hey 2018 it's year of xenos according to 2017 end of year GW. Look at all the new xenos models from.the entire year!

Then look at the new imperium models during the year of the xenos.

Lol

If you can point to where GW said it would be ‘year of the Xenos’, sure. I’m 99% sure that is just something the community decided they’d said, and then got annoyed when it didn’t happen like they expected.

This is true.

'Orktober' is most definitely a GW marketing creation though, in this instance.

Yes, but it’s literally just them saying the release is in October, with an orky pun. They’ve done similar puns before (januwaaaghry). It doesn’t mean the entire month is necessarily dedicated to Orks, and I don’t get why it means the first release of the month has to be Orks. They’re coming. This month. As they’ve said.

It doesn't HAVE to mean anything and obviously it didn't have to mean the first release was Orks because we now know it isn't.

As I said, its disappointing that we've waited this long, GW have acknowledged our irritation at the wait and responded by naming a month after the faction. They then went and released a box set for other factions as the first release of the month that was supposed to placate all those (rightly) irritated Ork players. Right after they've released another box set of Marines vs another xeno race. With new models for each.

I'll say the same thing I said to tneva, its my prerogative how I respond to the marketing of GW. For me, personally, this has been a massive feth up. I'm not telling you that you should feel the same so I'm not sure why so many of you are intent to tell me how to feel?

Ah yes, wasn't that fun

At this point, I'd like to ask folks to stop the back and forth bickering about what their expectations were for this month.

If there is no news on the upcoming ork releases, there's no reason to keep posting in this thread until there is. So, let's let it lie for a bit unless you're discussing news...

Thanks all!

I could have seen a post after the mod response ... about someone uncomfortable about the usage of the word orktober

Yes, there was, but I had to remove it since it was continuing the same OT tangent / argument above.

This thread is for discussing the news and rumors of the upcoming ork releases. If I really have to edit the title, I will, but I think we've covered the above enough so that I can hopefully leave it as is here...

Well I’m excited about the book!

As nice as the new models so far are (and I’m sure the ones still to come!) I don’t want to get anything but new rules.

I have too much of a tide of green already

Ok, that's it. We're going back to 4 to 6 year codex cycles.

What makes you say that?

Okay so i don't know if this has anything to do with the ork codex perse, but the recent GW weekender article revealed some of the KT commanders teams and box sets. Grukk was displayed as part of this. I'm thinking he ends up in the codex after all.
