Well that's an auto-buy for me. Also, the first one where I've thought "that might be a dual-kit" - though I can't see any shared bits, the setup of driver+turret type thing on top is similar to the boomdakka.

So if we go with the idea that these are options, are we seeing maybe a dragsta/scrapjet dual kit and a Boomdakka/Boosta-blasta/squigwagon kit? Maybe. I hope so, because if so it seems like you could basically use any odd bits and bobs to make a skeleton for the additional bits to go onto.

Either way, this does make me glad that the long leadup is giving me lots of time to amass paint commission money. In the last two weeks I've painted up 15 marine scouts, a couple characters, and a squad of primaris marines and I've got 20 more primaris to go through still. If I get all of it done before the models drop I should have 450$ to spend on da boyz!

my worry about all these great models are the rules, they'll either be pointed low and rule of 3'd out of having a nice number or too expensive and rubbish. its the ork dilema with nice models like this.

Is it just me or is there a squig sock puppet on there?

I love it! Ded Orky!

Most definitely going to get me Speed Freeks, so I can rope my Mad Max loving friend into nerddom.

The deflated looking thing at the back? I thought it was a bag squig.

No that's a mine squig. He's talking about the small squig at the top of the rollcage, left of the copper cylinder.

Yeah I see it too on the top left right above the roll cage

Rule of 3 is not much of a problem, because as of now you could field 3 outriders with a total of 3 trakks and 15 buggies in them. Unless they are way below 100 points, I think you are fine since you will probably want to have at least some trukk boyz or gretchin alongside them.

I mean just imagine if they threw a couple up this weekend for pre order. All that arguing for nothing

But looks like we will for sure get two preorders for the month 20 and 27. So still two out of the four for the month at least

That assumes these come in squadrons but being bigger and thus more wounds maybe not

Yup, definitely my fear too.

One just has to look at the "new" Nid kits that were released, toxi, haro, harpy etc.
All great looking kits but not particularly good or viable in battle.

That's a buzzer squig.

"These fantastic vehicles will be available to pre-order very soon" - that typically means they get previewed the following Sunday, so first Ork releases on the 27th

That's sort of how I read it as well, but I don't dare to be too optimistic since GW alluded to speed freeks being the first of the bunch. Hopefully this locks that release in for the 27th at least.

About the squig buggy, I'm not sure I like it as much as the other stuff. I think the wheels look at bit off/too boring. Maybe another angle will make me change my mind..? The Megatrakk Scrapjet is still my favourite one, it's just so undeniably cool!

I think it’s just the paint job on those wheels. Highlighted right up to the max which kinda makes them stand out a bit too much to the rest of the vehicle and are more than distracting.

Is it me, or is the Ork in the front passenger seat kinda.. facing the wrong way?

Other than that, I like it! It’s pretty fun once you start noticing all the squigs everywhere.

The red buggy and this truck should be monster trucks instead. Teach me how to build the weird suspension undercarriage of monster trucks, please!

Also I really thought the silhouette of the Ork sucking/stuffing the squig into whatever sort of weapon that actually is was a catapult throwing arm. If I get such a truck I'll mod it to have a proper squigapult.

Weird how all those new vehicles have zero room for passengers, would make making new Gorkamorka rides a lot easier.

Wat?

We have 5 buggies which quite obviously won't share a datasheet. 3x5 = 15

If they are 100 each, and the wartrike as well, that's 1800 points of just buggies - and will probably look awesome.

Doubtfull they are transport so no room for passangers.

I really can't make out what is happening with the Ork in the passenger seat, he looks very odd to me. Probably the angle, though.

Love the squig bites on the Ork crew, as well as the annoyed expression on the driver's face. Driving a Squig trukk has to be less fun than driving the other vehicles.

I think the passenger is a grot sitting sideways operating the weapon next to him, but a 360 view wouldn't hurt

I hope the passenger is feeding the driver a squig as they zoom along.

OK, that Squig buggy is my favorite one so far.

Note the bit of green skin between the buzzer squig and the roof boiler. I think the passenger is reaching back there, maybe for the buzzer squig.

I love all the variety of squig on there. The one on the back looks like either a chewin' or an eatin' squig, that one squig crammed into that launcher is hilarious, and the buzzer squig on top is actually adorable.

One thing I'm noticing with these new kits is that, apart from the Shokkjump Dragsta and the Megatrakk Scrapjet (where the Drivers are clearly in outfits fitting for the vehicle they're parodying), all the Orks (and Grots) have naked upper bodies (with a vest added for the Warboss and his driver). Previously most Orks and Gretchin wore more clothing. A new design decision or just coincidence?

Disclaimer: I'm not offended by half-naked Orks, just wondering.

There are going to be some ridiculously well painted and converted versions of these models in the coming months. Can't wait to see them all.

There have been plenty of bare-chested grots before. There is at least one ork torso in existing kits with only some chains, but I don't remember which kit it comes in... probably the warbikers?

I'm not a fan on orks without clothing simply because GW's sculptors are really bad at muscles. They often look like they just slap random lumps over their models with no real thought as to how they are meant to work. The ork in the back of the squig-buggy and the warboss on the trike don't look good to me, but hopefully it's just the angles.

Probably just riffing on Fury Road, re: shirtless Orks.

I love this, full stop. Love all the new vehicles, and can't wait to get them into my mekshop and start hacking em up!

That said, I plan to replace the crew. These barechested orks are a bit too AoS for me, my lads need some jackets and whatnots.

SQUIG GUNS!

My wallet is preemptively crying


Also!

Anybody else notice that sneaky little buzz saw behind the front wheels? I'm in love! I honestly see minimal conversions to the vehicles, they're just that good!

Well well well the Rukkatrukk Squigbuggy finally arrives.

And it looks brilliant.

Biggest problem I'm going to have with these is deciding which to buy. They are all outstanding.

Let's speculate in terms of their use/battlefield role

Kustom Boosta Blasta - the word "kustom" implies Mek gear to me and both the Orks on the vehicle look pretty jacked up with Mek parts so I reckon there's going to be a link there. It has grenades so maybe light AV, AI role. The primary gun has been named I think but I forget it. Limited CQC capabilities. Grot shootas/riggers?

Shokkjump Dragster - again we have Mek gear in there and we can almost guarantee it'll be able to 'jump' in game so probably the fastest of the vehicles. Slight AI with the CQC blades on scoop but the gun looks to be a primarily AV weapon to me. There's mini rokkits on the vehicle that I think have been named somewhere. Grot riggers?

Boomdakka Snazzwagon - molotovs say AI to me and the primary weapon looks like it puts out a lot of dakka so I'd guess this is more of an AI vehicle. Limited CQC capabilities (grot victim?). Grot shootas/riggers?

Megatrakk Scrapjet - the front of the vehicle must be a CQC weapon. The drill intake looks fierce. Possibly best CQC? Clearly has Rokkits and I suspect Dakka Guns, but maybe Supa Shootas after the Dakkajet? Only vehcile with only one crew so may be weaker than others? 'when you're an Ork you don't need wings to fly' - does it have fly?! Second fastest maybe only to Dragster.

Rukkatrukk Squig Buggy - well GW have all but said it utilises mines and squigs as a weapon so I think we can make some safe guesses from there. Squigs can be used in CQC so there's that. Looks to be to be the largest of the buggies and it looks pretty hefty, perhaps it has the most durability? Some sort of squig cannon seems to be the primary weapon and it can perhaps drop squig mines behind it. Grots all over it, shootas and riggers? E - also has buzzsaws, for CQC. E - Ork on back also has squig cannon, so 2 squig cannons?

Warboss on Deffkilla Wartrike - CQC monster, obviously. Character I guess? More than 10 W? I hope not. Chain must do something on Klaw. Guns probably weakest of all the new kits but that makes sense to me. Close ranged vehicle? Sure it uses shotguns, may also have Dakka Guns.

And people said I was crazy thinking Orks would get landmine squigs!

If you look closer the passanger seat ork is a side seat driver, he is holding the back of his head with his right hand and yelling at the driver who was obviously recently bit on the shoulder lmao.

It also looks like there are two more green skins in the back ground, actually one looks like a grot being eaten in what looks like and I hope is a big squig pen, the blue bin is what I am referring to.
