what models we are getting is alot, im not going to argue that, but GW has promised a month filled with ork related stuff,

Show me where they promised that? All I seen was a single pun, if you decide to read into that thats your problem not anyone elses.

have you read any of the ork articles that GW has released?
"To celebrate the return of everyone’s favourite green-skinned warmongering, barbaric xenos this Orktober, we’ve got an entire month’s worth of exciting content for you to help get you in the mood for Waaagh!"
"Orktober is going to be awesome, so don’t forget to check back each day to see what news and articles we have for you."
if any of that sounds familiar, then it is because it came out of GW's mouth.

I am wondering at this point if there is something wrong. Perhaps an error like the Space Wolves codex where a page was incorrect.

Ok so they promise content, news and articles. No models or codex though.

This really sucks but as long as preorder is on 27th latest then it's still october release for GW.

careful there. your optimism is starting to crack.

Ugh, this nonsense posted here is even more infuriating than the lack of speed-freak pre-orders...

Which is basically where we are right now. GW needs to sort this out or they will feel the full salty wrath of us nerds!

Need to be careful with this thread, the topic is going away from news and rumours towards dissatisfaction with GW for which the mods specifically warned us against. If people want to voice their dissatisfaction with GW there is the other thread (that's in the 40k general chat) which is better suited.

Round and round it goes. If you can't stick to the topic we'll lock it and leave it locked until something happens.

So to kinda bring it back to topic, the fact we don't have a pre-order for Orks this coming week might indicate we won't have anything beyond vehicles, right?

Some were saying/hoping we could have a new Ghaz but we've seen the older model on some pictures ...

unfortunately the "new ghaz model" hasn't gotten much reliable rumors. the closest reliable rumor said they were unaware of a new ghaz but said his rules were good (the leak was most likely from a play tester who got to play with the test codex but not any of the new models).

They are however old pictures already in production right?

There isn’t a picture of old Ghaz, with new vehicles or 32mm Orks all together.
(Unless there is and I missed that), it’s pictures from older publications being reused right?

The topic is ORKTOBER. Says so right in the title.

So far there hasn't really been an Orktober to speak of. Seems like that's worthy of discussion.

nah, they only allow good rumors here...like from spikeybits or something.

feels like all the good gw press and marketing went to *&^% with orktober

I was watching the Instagram account of GW and was thinking ... did they have that many new drawings for other codices?
Might be a good indication we'll have plenty of new illustrations in the Ork codex ...

The new killteam commanders box is the latest story on the community site is be supprised is we get any new Ork stuff today.

There's an ork commander in there, older model but technically new rules!

They still have the squig truck to reveal at some point.

yeah, they did that whole "whos dat pokemon" thing with it, and many assumed that there was no wrong answer for it....and they still haven't talked about it since. i was thinking they would reveal it the next day or something. they even didn't let us know that we were wrong or anything, they just haven't mentioned anything at all about it. such a weird business practice. have they done this type of thing for any other model?

Maybe they just put it up on Friday, let it run for the weekend and will be back in work today? ;-)

Or we could ascribe to malice rather than staff having the weekend off, but it’s more likely the weekend off, with scheduled posts filling in whilst they’re not it. Ya know, like how businesses run their social media in general.

I hate when people apply logic to these things, makes me so angry!!

As for where is the plastic Ghaz, plastic Kommandos/tankbusters/deffkopters/warboss on bike/painboy on bike/mek on bike, looks like we aren't getting them!!

That's what we should be attributing to malice here. Orktober was always just a marketing thing for the social media/hype train. Don't think it implied that GW was to release only orks in Orktober.

Well, with the killer Team Camanders it looks like they renamed Grill and you can now but him separately. Not the most intriguing news, but yeah.

I wonder whether his rules are usable for 40k?

A reasonable explanation, except that their Facebook profiles were interacting with followers all weekend.

Is it just me or are the names for these buggies stupid. It’s like they’ve gone OTT on the orkyness. Like a five year old named them. ORK vehicles used have names like battle wagon and war buggy. No it’s all boom bang shalangalang and wazz splat apolooza. Do not like it at all. I also don’t like the draggsta ones look. Great for a racing game but it has 0 ground clearance and for seem reason that irks me more than other GW silly ness. The one that looks like a classic buggy weapons wise, I love. And the petrol bombs. The warboss trike is good too but I hope there are options for the boss. Will prob get speed freaks game but for the bikes and the terrain. Will prob sell at least the dragster.

Stompa - Big Mek - Flash Gitz - eh ork names have always been like a 5 year old named them

That's the result of the Chapterhouse lawsuit I believe. Because names like battlewagon or buggy aren't copyrightable, most new names are those weirder names. Just check all the weird primaris unit names, or that the Imperial Guard and Space Marine codexes are called Astra Militarum and Adeptus Astartes now.

Also if you played epic then these names are about what they used to be. Ultimately, what's in a name? Doesn't really matter.

My google-fu is failing me miserably, where do you find this stuff? Any idea how much he costs?

The Warhammer Community page had him as one of the previewed.

Supposedly the boxes are 20GBP, which would put them around $35USD each.

Ork related!!!
