I got a laugh out of that too.

If they follow up an

NEW ACTUAL RUMOURS

Clan Specific Warlord traits;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRwe30dRrXA&feature=youtu.be

Bad Moons :4+ invulnerable save
Blood axes: if your warlord is on the battlefield, roll a dice for every command point used. On a 6 that command point is refunded
Deathskulls: warlord re rolls 1s when attacking a vehicle. Enemy characters can be targeted with a shooting attack by this warlord even if they are not the closest unit.
Evil sunz: evil suns units within 6” of the warlord can charge even if they fell back earlier in the turn.
Freebooters: reroll hit rolls of 1’s for attacks made by friendly freebooter models while within 6”s of this warlord.
Goffs: add 1 to this warlords attack characteristic
Snakebites: re roll morale for snakebite units when they are 6”s from this warlord. Gretchin auto pass morale when they are within 12”s of this warlord.

Some are a bit basic, but I can see it happen.

Damn! now THAT is a warlord trait list right there! There is so much you can do with that list - pretty much everything but the bland Blood Axe and Goff traits make me happy. Deathskull big mek with a Shokk Attack Gun just blowing away characters and vehicles alike. Evil sunz biker boss leading a swarm of hit-and-run bikes and buggies. Even dubbing my gretchin army "snakebites" and using that trait on da red gobbo sounds like a massive amount of fun.

Really, really hope this rumor is true.

welcome to the GW labelled orktober, who promised an entire months worth of content (and we are 4 days with no articles) and we have so far gotten more news about the codex from our favorite leakers!
i would laugh if this wasn't so pathetic

Looks like Goffs got the short end of the stick when it came to Warlord traits. I like the Snakebite one, especially since a 12" radius for grots is pretty damn huge, if they change up their points cost or add a few more abilities for them they could make some damn effective screens.

Oddly enough, seems like if you want a beatstikk of a warboss then Bad Moons is the way to go. I hope this isn't the only source of an invul save for ork HQs though.

Saved the thread from a lock eh? I'm not sure why people keep ignoring your polite warnings.

On topic they come from a good source (correctly named the unreleased buggies prior to any news from GW) and I agree that they seem likely.

The Evil Sunz one is brilliant.

My deathskull big mek with SAG is going to make a vindicare look like a choir boy (surely it's too good to be true...)

The deffskulls stratagem gives me hope that characters will have enough dakka to actually make shooting worthwhile. As it is now, it is absolutely not worth it to put a special ranged weapon on most characters.

Yeah, unless they overhaul it, currently the only person you ever might consider giving it to is a Deffskullz Big Mek with the SAG. I hope they beef up kustom shootas to actually do damage similar to master-crafted bolters, or at the very least give Warbosses/Big Meks access to Snazzguns.

Once again Evil Suns is looking like a front runner if the clan trait is also accurate

Makes sense, red wunz go fastest after all!

Does freebooters affect both ranged and melee attacks? Because that one is looking nice for my sort of army build.

Oh yeah the rumor monger keepin Orktober alive.

Hoping for some sweet Deffskullz stratagems too.

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.

Ok, now I really want to see a vehicle called a Boom Bang Shalangalang

Yeah, both the clan trait and warlord trait are really quite strong. However this probably means that their specific stratagem is pretty bad (as it most likely should be for balance purposes). I actually feel like GW have been pretty decent with that, not that intra-codex balance is very well implemented but I struggle to think of any examples where some clan/chapter/etc has the perfect trifecta.

The new Boom Bang Shangalang piloted by M. Ork Shyamalan.

My LGS informed me they got the preorders for next week.

And the Ork stuff is the following one (so on stores the 27th). Ah, and Blackstone Fortress apparently.

Wasn't the Goff ability to have 6s in cc explode? An extra attack makes a bit better odd of that going off.

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.

I loved epic, first 40k game I played30 odd years ago and I still have converted lungburstas, gibletgrindas and gobsmashas. But this is worst, I think it’s the double barrels ness of them that I don’t like. One good theming is they are a step away from lumps of scrap bolted together but still got appearance of the rest of the line. ORK vehicles should be functional and simple not a hodgepodge mess they were headed towards.

As for any of it mattering, it doesn’t. Only to me. I’m an old grump when it comes to ORKS. Anything less than first edition goodness upsets me, I wince when people say they the kult of speed is a clan or that talk of “prime ORKS”.

Warlord traits look good. Make more sense than some of p the rumoured clan rules they’ve had out.

The warlord trait is the +1 atk, the clain trait is the explode.

The warlord trait is the +1 atk, the clain trait is the explode.

Which would synergize with the warlord trait, as it gives a higher chance of rolling that 6.

The Bubblechukka, Spleenrippa, and others from over 25 years ago say hello!

I guess they want our Evil Sunz warboss to be on the trike. I just finished my gore grunta conversion, so, index willing, mine will still be a bike.

Or, maybe I'll just put a sidecar on the pig.

TBH it looks like they want orks to go all Mad Max. I mean, we have a warboss on a bike, 4 buggies, a trukk, deffkoptas, and a battlewagon. I don't know about y'all gitz, but the first gorkdarn thing I'm doing is building me a list of every ork vehicle imaginable.

Zhardsnark is evilsuns and already on a bike with an awesome powerklaw relic!!!
Just use the warboss on trike plus zhardsnark!!!
