We're all selecting B, right?

Sidebar, that body does not look particularly rounded to me....who said to "mark their words" on that? Looks like a jeep tbh.

I so want it to be C. I've always felt 40k needs minelaying as a function.

New meaning for monster truck. A truck full of monsters?
How many times can we vote?

What an annoying way to announce a new model

I think its great
GW are having a bit of fun with these Ork releases and I think all the better for it.

Probably because they’ve read this thread of arguments and find it hilarious

I have a feeling you may be right. That way they can say everyone picked correctly no matter what options they go with to reveal the model. Plus, all the options together makes a lot of sense considering squigs are in fact a source of food, so options A and B especially go naturally together.

My money is on it being all three options. A weaponized squig-based food truck/land mine delivery system sounds about right.

WHO'S THAT POKEMON?

It's "Faceeater!"

No, it's "Faceripper" obviously

It's absolutely D, all of the above, in my mind. The food truck could be a small buff to a nearby unit/replenish ranks. It's obviously some way or another option B. And option C could be some sort of spore mine-esque mechanic where you chuck out "minesquigs"

Edit: Remember that the full name is supposedly the squig buggy rokkittrukk so you gotta wonder if the squigs are the ones shooting the rokkits or if they're strapped to the rokkits themselves?

Exactly this. I think it'll be a combination of all three options, in some hilarious Orky manner

I think it might be squig based. There's something that kind of looks like a squig's tail at the top

I believe it's all 3 the right answer.

We know some squig leak due name but it's worth to consider squig are also food and weaponry for the orkz ( it can throw some Squigs that remain knocked down in the ground until something aproaches kind of oriy sporemine)

OK, that's the trike. Meaning it's a dual kit, and the warboss can be built on foot. Just as I thought. Maybe even built as Ghaz, hopefully.

Alright, pick that apart in a tedious way.

Edit; I hate that they force us to Facebook. That is an evil place, and I won't go.

Wasn't the leaked name more like Rukkatrukk Squigbuggy? It might not have anything to do with rokkits, but I definitely can't say for sure.

I'm hopeful this new buggy will be a good source of bits. Squigs tend to be some of the most expensive bits because they are usually metal or finecast or come as part of a character. If this trukk has a few and we get a few in Nightvault they will hopefully become much cheaper.

Also I would say this just pushes the fact there will be some non vehicle releases.

It was worded the last of the Ork vehicle reveals.
Not last of the Ork reveals.
So that adds weight to at least some more things coming.

Could just be the codex and some dice left to reveal.

Facehugger.

And the rumoured mek shakk too.

Can't release too much more, can't afford much more!

As an aside re Ork Boyz. The shootas used to be separate from hands. In the sprue recut they joined Shoota and hand.

My Boyz had some shootas ripped off and replaced with looted guns

You know, all these are obviously separate kits.

But I wonder whether there’s built in interchangeability within them? Say, common wheel size, rear mounts set for wheels or Trakks?

Well if we assume the sprues from the Speed Freeks kit are the only ones for those vehicles obviously not. From what we saw the rear wheels for the dragster were fixed to the body.

E - rear wheels for the boosta blasta even.

Someone at GW had a field day making these. It isn't difficult to come up with vehicle designs for orks. Pretty much anything goes, however, if they are all separate kits (and they are) I have to wonder how willing GW is to keep these on the shelves when interest dries up. A more generic buggy kit would have consistently sold better than 5 different new "buggy" kits that non are really a direct replacement for the old.

It is definitely the squig one, probably not the other two. (Also an annoying way to "reveal" a model, but funny that GW thinks it can troll us like this.)

Orks eat Squigs.

A buggy dropping off Squigs across the field, living land mines, sort of.

If you have not realized that it is going to be all three then you do not understand Orks very well. Squigs are food for Orks, and squig-based mines are not too much of a stretch either...

IIRc Orks don't need to eat, or deink, they are able to subsist on light alone- although they have mouths and may be able to taste things.


Which is why they don't need supply lines for war.

Indeed. Also the answer has to be flexible because GW aren't going to change the date of their preview of this buggy for something as simple as a Facebook poll.

We should all vote something that isn't even an option, but even then GW will claim that whatever option wins was 'all 3' and is the true correct answer.

Oh they most definitely eat and drink! Squigs, the fallen, Fungus Beer.

I don't think this is entirely accurate, they don't need conventional supply lines like other species do because they bring their own ecosystem with them whenever their land on a planet, due to their spores creating further orkoid species like squigs and grots. That, however, doesn't mean Orks don't need to eat or drink, given their penchant to eat an errant grot, snotling or squig when they get hungry. Plus fungus-beer is still a thing, and in the Beast Arises series they were literally farming humans as cattle. Why do these things if they can just praise the sun like Solaire of Astora?

Ork food and drink has long been a part of the lore. Two more modern series (The Beast Arises and Prophets of the Waaagh!) had orks in danger of starving.

Now I need to model up some Brewboyz and Slopperz.

I thought that orks could more or less photosynthesize energy (what with being part plant)- and that food/drink was more of a bonus.
