edit-man, i might do what that fallout fan did with bottle caps, if i collect enough large teeth then maybe i can pay for my codex "da proppah way" (how many teeth you think it costs for a codex?)

Call me a spoilsport but I'm not too thrilled about this new model. That's the 5th "buggy", it's a few too many for my taste. I'd like koptas, infantry or Ghazghkhull before we get a 6th buggy-like vehicule...

Excellent video.

Beautiful Buggy.

GW doing what it needs to do to rekindle the hype that had died.

Buggy looks like it has an autoloading RL, a "standard" RL or perhaps single firing rokkits a twin dakkagun/big shoota and, as has already been stated, a fething big turbine.

I'm sure the turbine will have an effect in game.

The lore for this is obvious for me, given the contents of the video - Flyboy crashes plane, eventually rebuilds it to this level instead of or before he adds wings to make it into a plane.

Vindicates all those times I kept the pilot heads and used them for other models like Trukks

The turbine appears to have a spiral blade on the nose cone. If that doesn't have rules for shredding stuff, I'll be very dissapointed!

Ork batmobile

Reaaaaallly can't wait for any rules teasers for some of these buggies at this point.

Anyone got any idea why the wheels on the megatrakk scrapjet and the shokkjump dragsta are weirdly smooth? Goes against the normal GW style and I can't say I like them. I thought that maybe they were single-piece, but even then they could have horizontal treads.

Their designed after racing slicks.

Saaaaaaame, but they never tease points do they? Thats where the rub is usually imo. The teased stats might look good, but if its over costed it could still be junk

The Meks that designed them were the oddest of odd Boyz? It's probably mostly to give us a different aesthetic, if you like the old school style you have options in spades but it's no harm to give us other variations. I like to make all my models as unique as possible and though I admit the change on the wheels was jarring at first I'm over it now and think it'll look good on the table with lots of other units.

Same. Really want to know the Wounds, Toughness and Save at least of the Buggies.

Are they Trukk-ish? Tougher? Weaker?!

They're racing tyres with almost invisible tread. Take a look at the wheels on a Formula 1 car or a dragster.

These vehicles are all beauuuuuutiful.

Looks like Speed freeks releases first,
followed by codex?

Yeah. Think they have hinted that before as well but also makes sense as speed freak and codex are both pretty big releases and GW wants to spread releases(especially big ones) over several weeks. Guess it's more profitable than having both on same week.

Gives you time to paint new vehicle or two before codex hits!

Yeah, but aren't they designed exclusively for high speed racing on pavement where traction and braking is crucial to prevent the drivers from killing themselves? Orks don't care for or need tires like that while off roading on discount Armageddon/Gorkamorka.

Cool models though, nitpicks aside. I love the turbine half-trakk.

I'm also not such a big fan of the slick tires, but it should be easy enough to add some treads to them.

I might try moving the slick tires from the Dragsta to the Scrapjet though. I'm imagining something being propelled along by jet propulsion and the tires are there mainly to keep it up off the ground.

Honestly, it sounds extremely Orky to me for them to choose a type of wheel thoroughly unsuited to the terrain they are driving on, simply so they can have the extra joy of careening around the place barely in control as the tyres struggle to gain traction on rough surfaces and in wet weather. Slicks may also actually be pretty good on ash wastes, if they are hard, compacted desert.

Even just what their (undoubtedly new) weapons do or what the core rules differences between all these buggies would be great, though you're definitely right that points will make or break which ones see the most play on the tabletop, at least it'll bring us much needed variety after boyz over toyz index play for so long.

Same. Really want to know the Wounds, Toughness and Save at least of the Buggies.

I feel like they'll always have to be somewhat lower in scale for wounds/toughness compared to Trukks, so depending on how they've made Trukks in the new book (ideally closer to our equivalent of a venom, since our current one is too pricey and infringes on the battlewagon's role) that'll determine how strong they are. I feel like they're at minimum 6 wounds though, with at least T5 and no damage table.

Probably T5 with 5-7 wounds i'd wager, 4+ armor.
Still weaker than a Trukk but atleast a Trukk has armor platings....uh...kinda

Oh I will bring them all and have a motley crew led by the warboss on trike.

Same. All day. Regardless of how competitive they are. But then I'm biased.

In terms of stats I'm hoping for closer to the Trukk than what's been suggested above. These models look pretty detailed so will take a while to paint and they're pretty big. It'll also be a killer if we need like 12 of the Buggies at £30+ each to compete, like the Mek Guns people will just convert toys etc instead.

I'd imagine the new buggies are the same as the old ones, from a defensive point of view. Which I've found are actually..pretty durable..?

Like they die when most dedicated AT is pointed in their general direction but T5 is in a lot of cases the same as T7 and they're cheap enough to be spammed. I just hope the new buggies pack a much bigger puch (they seem to do just that) for a not much higher price tag.

Hopefully it will suck up guardsmen like a SAG sucking up snots.

I'd love to see a proper tank, but for now the wide variety of vehicles is great to see. Agreed that I want to see a new ghaz, koptas, and plastic tank bustas and kommandos though.

I'd actually like to see trukks get closer to buggies in terms of stats, but with a massive price drop to go with it.

A true ork tank in plastic would be great. I'll still be happy if all we get is the buggies they've been previewing. There's always room for more, but the buggies and trakks were the worst models in the range so I'm happy to see them updated first. Even the metal kopta, which is pretty bad, wasn't as bad as the buggies IMO.

If the Big Gunz are axed that will make me a little sad though.

What's this I hear about more terrain?

More wounds at least. Bigger model, more wounds is gw mantra

Btw one reason new ghazz is unlikely. If model would get size boost stats would be getting big boost which iirc rumours didn#t indicate.

So beyond the previewed triple buggy kit, the wartrak, And scramjet.... we also know from the community article we have an ork Mek shop terrain kit, the squig buggy and the ork scrap piles that are in all the new photos. Still have my fingers crossed for prima ghaz and some type of supaskorcha buggy.
