Yeah. Angle is bad but boss does NOT ride the squig. Squig is in front of him, not under.

Squig might be just a weeeee bit unstable to ride to a battle

Bah him riding it would have been epic

Too wimpy for a warboss though! Here's proper mount for him:

(now I sooooo want to build one...)

Epic.

What the title says, Black Library fiction featuring Orks.

Too bad no new ones. Just overview of old ones

From their Instragram:



FANG IT indeed..!

i have a feeling my collector's mentality of wanting 1 of everything is gonna cost me a LOT in this release....

Liking the adverts they are doing, someone has been enjoying themselves with those.

likely however sticking to book and cards for now, maybe the speedfreak box, the rest will wait until I've seen the rules

Here is a proper link to the new REGEMENTUL BOSSPOLE article, as the one on the Community page seems to be broken:

Was about to post that, brilliant article.

Perfection.

I’m getting worried, we won’t see any new kits but the buggies/jettrucks and the trike boss...

I like the jet buggy a lot! This will probably help my ork army crawl out of a 5 year old stagnation
My inner mek is very excited.

Now to hear some leaks about rules so we could get to know is the release just pretty models but armies will still be 300+ models which struggle to avoid being wiped out§

I presume your autocorrect changed "Goff" to "Good"?

It'll be a shame if Freebooters can't be a list unto itself, but I think that the main Klanz being represented with actual rules is a huge step forward. There was a long period where GW ran away from all forms of faction flavour (Chaos got hit, Eldar got hit, anything other than the main 6 Marine types got hit, even Guard got hit a little). I don't like 8th at all - the game is far too simplistic for my tastes, the vehicle rules are a complete joke, LOS/cover makes zero sense, and everything either gives a re-roll, a -1/+1 to hit/wound, or more damned Mortal fething Wounds - but I do like their approach to giving options, equipment, strategies and actual rules to all the various sub-factions that have existed in the game for a long time and even some that never got specific rules (like Tyranid Hive Fleets).

It brings more depth to a game that, IMO, sorely needs it.

Yes autocorrect, or my phone knows Goffs are the goodest . Yeah goodest isn't a real word

Ahahaha, from da Regimentul Bosspole:

Rest in pieces, Bouncy – you woz a good squig. And delishus.

Awesome.

Love what Squigbrains links to.

Seeing the gretchin on the back makes me hope they go super hard on WYSIWYG for the buggies and it's got a Grot Blasta in addition to all its other guns, "baneblade has a lasgun" style.

I think that is absolutely a solid suspicion. It's an existing army. I was surprised you're even getting a few kits.

If the original 4+3 rumor is right, we get 5 buggies (4 known plus squig something), the warboss trike and the mek shop.

Considering how GW has been releasing faction-specific terrain for many armies, the mek shop has a good chance of being real.

Errr Marines are existing, Death Guard are existing, Deamons are existing, Aeldari are existing, Imperial Guard are existing as are Necrons (a few examples of armies that have had new models this year).

Which implies to me that GW doesn't mind us kitbashing boyz into the more expensive infantry models. No skin off of my teef.

You're worried you may only have six new kits to spend your money on? How many were you hoping to buy?

Still, I expect to see at least a mega-armour warboss and a deffkopta as well as the mek shop. The deffkopta is a terrible old kit and there isn't even a WBiMA model at the moment.

I kid you not, last week there was a tip on the community site to use basic Tzaangor bodies to build both versions of the more expensive elite unit from 1 box.

I counted 2-3 kits, which are all somewhat similar.
-Warbyggy with many options
-jet buggy
-trike
Am I missing something?

I was hoping for any/all of those:
-some completely infantry(or just new tabkbustas) or a completely new character or completely new tech
- anything with squigs being the main focus
- anything with grots being the main focus
- deffkoptas (probably number one in the list)

I'm somewhat annoyed they want to increase the base size of Boyz models but not give us a new kit. No problem with them increasing the base size of them if they release a new kit but it's lazy and stinks of money grabbing to ask for one without the other.

E - there's a rumour of the Mek shop too which will be another kit. So 4 kits I reckon. Yea a Megaboss and Deffkoptas wouldn't hurt.

Every buggy is a distinct kit.

given how drastically different they all are i could see them being single kits.
Only two of them look like they MIGHT be using the same frame but everything else is different.

wasnt there a rumour that a buggy/trakk kit that was going to be released which was going to be the most customisable kit gw had ever produced? I love the new 'set' vehicles but id also love to see a versatile kit as well

The rumour from Hastings said the Buggies are all ONE KIT (!) and it's super customisable, which would be incredible. Some parts of the buggies are identical, the intake for the engine is the best example, it's the same for each Buggy. I'm sure the engine parts themselves are the same bits either turned around or with different intakes too.

On the other side of the coin I can't see any Buggy that shares wheels, the weapons are all different, the Orks all different, the Grots all different, the armour plating etc etc etc.

I don't know now! Maybe one kit that builds any 2 Buggies?

Either way, it's our month, no harm hoping for more than less. Daemons of Nurgle got a fairly substantial update, it looks like Slaanesh are next. It wouldn't hurt for us to have a nice slice of update pie before xenos are forgotten for another year (and us for 5).

Yes this was the rumour, you're correct.
