I am getting a little sick and tired of the general attitude shown in this thread and the constant ignoring of previous warnings.

This release has me all kinds of excited, especially Speed Freeks. I've been buying up third party Ork bits and bobs getting ready for a small skirmish sized band of Orks to duke it out Mad Max style with all the new buggies. Picturing a "Get da Wagon" scenario where it's one gang vs another as they speed across the desert, terrain moves while the vehicles stay somewhat stationary in the middle of the table or maneuver closer/further from each other based on some special set of rules....gotta test some stuff out.

Would also be good for some Gorka Morka bands too.

Looks like next week won't be Ork week either:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/09/30/next-week-warbands-and-warhounds/

Do we know much about the Speed Freaks game rules yet?

Indeed not, but there is always next week or the week after, we will see then. If we could keep the general smugness and lamentations of another week of no pre-orders to a minimum, that would be great.

If you really want to talk Orks, we've got a lively thread over HERE that's a much better place for a lot of the talk going on here right now, so we can reserve this thread for PROPER news and rumour discussion when they pop up.

Cheers!

if i can ask, what is considered news for orks?
so far the discussion has been about the "news" that the orks are barely in the WD preview.
i only ask so that if i plan to report any more ork news in the future then it would be proper for this forum.

im genuinely confused what you consider ork news, so please help me understand what is accepted here so i can post in the future.

If you get info about a release date, pictures of models, news of kit options, info from the codex, stratagems etc.

Any of that, stuff we don’t know basically

welp....then there is nothing to say. this thread will be dead until GW decides to grace us with anything new. since it seems discussions on news from the last 2 days is too old, we only discuss the future here, and nothing is worth talking about even if its only 24hrs old.

It's Orktober, so it would be rude not to celebrate that fact with an Ork-themed painting challenge. This month, it's any Ork single model of your choice, but it must be on foot.

If you finish early and want to get ahead on next month's painting challenge, the category will be single Ork vehicles…

What are the prizes for these painting competitions? I couldn't find what they are.

From their Instagram, not sure if this has been posted before yet:

Has this been posted yet?

I dread to think what the reaction will be if Orktober proves to be a bit of a wet squig, GW are definitely ramping this up.

That's a great picture, gives us a good look at the terrain that comes in Speed Freeks that we saw from the sprue photos.

So, at this point have we seen 3/4 of the rumored buggy designs? We have the "squig wagon" yet to see right?

Ohhhh feth yes, that's the good stuff right there ladz.

Based on this:

Maximum prices?

Buggy £30?
Trike £30?
Speed freaks £80?
Codex and cards £35

£175 plus the other kit/ scenery?...

New bike bases? Are those boyz on 32mm bases?

that pic pretty much proves the buggies are trukk sized.
Or at least, very very close to trukk sized.

i smell some trukk conversions in my future....get a use out of those oodles of kits i have strewn around for bits lol

Boyz are definitely on 32mm bases and those bike bases are oval instead of just a straight rounded-corner base.

Are those the "standard" bikes, and presumably what we can expect in Speed Freeks? (as a new Ork enthusiast I'm among the minority who are warbikeless)

Have we seen this picture before?



Because there's something on the left that sure as heck looks like a much bigger Ghaz to me.

Yeah, those are the same bike kit as always. Bases are new but pretty inevitable at this point; GW has decided that straight edges are for chumps, and that’s how it goes.

That picture and that Ghaz are both old.

I feel like ive seen that before. What thing are you referring to? The thing behind Ghaz just looks like a deff dread to me.

Bike bases aren't new per se, they are 75mm oval bases used by several AoS models. The warbuggy and trike bases look like new sizes though.

Those Boyz do look like theyre on 32s. On the 25s their feet go over the bases a little bit.

At the very least I need to have nobz on 32s now, maybe not boyz. My darn waagh banner nob is probably my second least stable model ever (first least stable model is 100% my vostroyan flag bearer AKA Sir Chipsalot but he's up there)

Strange. The warboss on trike seems the be the very same model we’ve already in goff colours repainted with red bits.
Either that or they decided to paint the rest of the model the same and base it EXACTLY the same.

The boys in the buggy picture are on 32s I think, but the ones in the stompa pic are on the 25s. I think thats an old picture. I wonder if that confirms we arnt getting a new Ghazzy model or if its just a reused picture and theyre using until they reveal the codex

They probably don't glue it to the base and use the same base to model several variants?

A base that takes about 10 minutes to knock out, used on multiple models that took feth knows how many hours of eavy metal artists time... what planet are you on?

The red one might just be photoshopped to fit the speed freek theme.

In other news: WAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! Orktober is here!

As much as I love 'em, I will not be basing buggies/trikes in my force. - Although I do worry we're just a short step away from basing everything. So, Rhino's, Landraiders, Monoliths and Baneblades watch out...!

I also have Nobz already on 32's, I could stretch to burna's and loota's, but da boyz will stay on 28's.

The fact that we get TWO months of Ork painting challenges (and that they mentioned them on October 1) makes me feel a lot better about GWs seeming lack of interest in our faction. Even though this may seem a small thing, it goes a long way in my book toward making me think they care about us.
