Which is good, because IIRC the only other option for warboss that GW sells is the Finecast "Combi-Scorcha/Unarmed with an Attack Squig" warboss model.
Not really looking forward to a world where one of the game's most iconic close combat HQs has no option for close combat weaponry because " lol no model no rulez! Were much too busy releasing the 1,542,567th primaris character with bolter and power sword to release a warboss in plastic."

No kidding, and most of them are in the same weird sword pointed upwards pose too, like they were all born at the same time.

Also note that Grukk is not even called Grukk in the killteam addon.

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. |

They still sell the Big Choppa one (in metal!) as well, which makes me happy because my Big Choppa armed Snakebite warboss should still be playable.

Ah they had those too. Without those if the Grukk would have been SC(pretty plain SC...) orks would literally have had no warboss whatsoever that isn't special character except possibly the trike one if it's warboss!
But yeah the Grukk is currently only warboss you can get outside GW mail order. Doubtful they would make him special character. Surely even GW wants to make sure all stores can at least have primary HQ from FLGS? Or would the orks be supposed to use weirdboys as their basic HQ

Probably Big Meks, seeing as there are two plastic versions of those.

Judging from the boxed sets orks get, the answer is "painboy".
"But, GW...the painboy isn't an HQ anymore, I know it's the only plastic one but you'll have to make anoth-"

One of the good things about that model is that the rokkits are very easy to remove or replace with a skorcha. I wouldn't drown in tears if Grukk remains the only plastic kit - before Grukk allmost all warbosses were the AOBR plastic warbosses, who didn't have gear or posing options either.

If grukk is going to be our “standard” warboss then I hope they repackage him into a solo kit instead of only in his boss mob.
Still really hoping for a new ghazzy model. The current one is smaller than Grukk, and Ghazzy is in mega armor!

At the very least Grukk we know will be repackaged separately in a Kill Team Commanders expansion. Whether that is a good deal if you want just the model and not the Kill Team cards and tokens, remains to be seen.

Ever get the feeling we'll get "orktober" releases month's end and seen in November WD?...

If this is the case I'll be quite frankly gutted. Due to migrate soon and that's leaving it late for release for me. First world problems ...

WD doesn't always showcase what the actual focus of the month is. Kill Team was a big driver for September, yet LOTR is on the cover of September's WD.

Doesn't look like we will see Orks for a bit yet. The warhound and the next two underworlds warbands are in white dwarf so we will probably see them on preorder on the 6th, with speed freeks on the 13th and the codex on the 20th.

Well lack of orks in wd was already known meaning no orks first half. Something that was being said here but people kept pushing head into sand. Hate to say it but "told ya!".
Possibie gw didn't want wd leaks in september ruin release too soon. Also this way if orks take more than 2 weeks releases they can do full wd for orks rather than splitting into 2
