They're old (within the past few years) pics for Gork and Mork if I recall. They're not 'new' for Orktober.

That's old art of Gork and Mork.

Yeah, for plastic hqs:

-meganob kit makes a ma big mek officially and a ma warboss in all but official name (has all the options the boss has)

-grukk is plastic warboss on foot

-new plastic bike boss

-plastic sag mek

-weirdnob shaman makes a great weirdboy if you hate finecrap. Loads better looking than the weirdboy sculpt.

Grukk is monopose PK only footboss with kombi rokkit. So no boss on foot with big choppa or any ranged weapon apart from the aforementioned.

No standard Big Mek with anything outside the SAG,.unless you count the Meganobs kit as making this (think it says on the box).

MA Warboss shouldn't be the same as Meganobz and MA Big Mek IMO.

I use weirdnob shaman for weirdboy but could do with more model options! I can't stand repetition.

It sure looks like a mix of Chaos and Orks, or at least it's where my mind wants to go ...

And this one?!?!

One is Gork, the other Mork. The same pics featured in our codex last edition. I can't tell you which is which for sure but I think the red one is Gork, the blue Mork.

But also, won't Grukk look pretty small & puny next to the new warboss model (on the trike)? The new warboss looks significantly beefier to me so if you have an army that would utilize both the Grukk warboss is going to look like a little brother worshipping and wanting to be the same as his big bro..

Ah, I did not buy the previous ed codex so I was unaware of those two images ...

In any case, by looking at the Instagram feed of Warhammer over the past few weeks/months, I do not see as much emphasis put on any other codex release ... I'm still hopeful we'll see something we haven't heard of!

I want a buzzer squig swarm so bad now.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say I really hope they don't discontinue the warboss with big Choppa or the warboss with attack squig and kombi skorcha, since they're both timeless and awesome.

as been stated before you can tell which buggy follows wich clan (though i dont think they will be set up with clan keywords, it looks like a style choice)
snazzwagon (deathskulls, molotovs are perfect for killing the crew of a vehicle without damaging da loot)
boosta blasta (evilsunz, the ignited exhaust is best for going fasta)
wartrike (goth, of course the goths have da biggest and choppiest on their trike)
shockjump dragsta (badmoons, with all the high tech equipment that only a posh badmoon can afford)
scrapjet (bloodaxe, with bomber jacket and and foregoing a flashy paint job makes this git seem like he used to be a stormboy before he became a flyboy before he became the new buggy boy)
squigbuggy (snakebites)
not only does the new buggy have a brown paint job that matches snakebites but it also has the largest variety of squigs (one of the best pets/export of any snakbite clan).
now i would've preferred a less advanced vehicle for snakebites, but its not like our favorite feral orks shun technology completely. they are known for making steam powered stompas. also, this thing looks more "salvaged: then the other buggies to me. it looks like they took some other boyz buggy and made it their own. also, that front spiked gob and that behind the wheel buzzsaw look like they were torn off kilakanz for this machine, heck, even the t shirt squig cannons look like the same tech for grotzookas (the fluff i have for this is they salvaged a buggy and a killakan and made a somewhat functional vehicle and stuffed it with both boys and squigs).
i also love the very fact that it has all da squigs. any motorcade would want this in their speedwaaagh because its "meels on wheeels". i can see as the whole mob is speeding along and da boss yells over his mega speekah "SQUIG ME!" and in response the squigbuggy gunner loads up a rather juicy squig and launches it into the motorcade, a skorcha buggy nearby roasts it midflight, the boss snatches it out of the air. and the he feasts on roasted meaty goodness.

It is likely we will see plastic characters in the future, though not for this release. Seems almost a given that some day we will receive Weirdboy in plastic, MA Warboss (maybe with options to make Ghazy and Nazdreg alike included). Plastic warboss (non MA) with different weapon options (maybe) but don't expect this any time soon (or any of these for that matter) especially as there is Grukk already there.

Plastic biker boss kit, maybe with options to have a painboy or mek or warboss, may as well make it all one kit and save themselves the effort of making 3.

Looking back a few pages we are also waiting on plastic Kommandos, Tankbusters, Big Gunz (the older ones). Note we are getting non of these in this release.

Also plastic Nob bikers and Boar Boyz and Nobz on boars.

Just noticed that the Kommandos are Sold out Online, on both the Dutch and UK sites: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Ork-Kommandos . Still available in the US, it seems. A sign of things to come, or a repack with new bases? If new bases, why not also the rest of the Ork range?

Seems especially odd with Kommandos being a thing in Kill Team too.

Kommandos were one of the units I was sure they'd get new models for, since it's like the only resin thing in Kill Team (or at least was in "wave 1"). Maybe they're coming, but I'm not getting my hopes up. It's probably just new boxes with 32's in them, and they're just switching those out slowly..

As much as I love all the new vehicles, I too would have traded some of them for plastic Kommandos/Tankbustas and a few new HQ models.

Sold out? Generally that means simply stock running out. GW doesn't have huge warehouses(those cost money) so it's quite possible to have model run out(doomsday ark was sold out for ages....seems it's back available so maybe should order one or two quickly) which then takes time before reprint slot comes out if machines are already running at max capacity.

Might thus mean nothing more than GW has sold too many of them too fast.

Well there's Lictors, Rangers, Storm Guardians and Flayed Ones too, if you don't count the resin commanders. But yeah, a plastic tankbusta/kommando kit would have been nice. But I'm doubtful there will be more kits coming this release, considering the large amount of new kits already. It's that the Mek Shop rumour came from the same source that named all the buggies, so that might still be in the pipeline, otherwise I'd be very doubtful of that as well.

I thought they had the "Temporarily Unavailable" status for that (e.g., the Kill Team starter box)? Anyway, I'm also not expecting new Kommandos, but the timing did seem odd to me.

The Mek Shop might not even involve that much or even any new sprues - it could be some bits from Speed Freakz packaged with some Sector Mechanicus terrain tbh.

Seems GW just hates money. Or loves buggy alternatives, who knows.

Its a shame they never released the deffkopta, annoys me they'v cleared up the buggy issue and even added new units but left this one.

and Grotsnik, i mean cmon!

Got a voucher/card saying I will get da Orkzes for my bday. I hope the Speed Freakz box is in the middle of the pricing range for GW board games, otherwise I'll wish for one of the buggies instead. Can't put that Silver Tower price point on my mom.

I really hope that ain't the end of the ork release ... hope they at least toss a plastic weirdboy

Buy the Orruk shamans, prophet and or wardok for alternative wierdboy minis. The savage big boss will serve if you replace the axe with a staff.

Yes, I know they ain’t Orks, but. I have no clue which are plastic.

Old orc arrer boy does the job too - the one with the left hand in ‘release’ pose. Remove bow, add staff and go.

I really hope Madboyz come back someday, especially with GW’s retro fondness lately and love of random tables.

Yeah all these are pretty good subs, I guess.

Huh. That's a good point. So far kill team has been mostly repack and bundles besides the sector imperalis, but kill team would be a good excuse for some of these units to be converted to plastic independent of a codex.

They could but killteam is pegged as a low cost product (well for GW anyway), so while they could introduce new stuff via this route I don't think they will,

I'm pretty sure its going to remain a good way to get added value out of older stuff where they've paid off the initial investment and made the bulk of their 'NEW!' sales already

Yeah, they'd never do anything risky, like two entirely new themed factions with unique models.

We may well yet see more new kits for Kill team. I just hope they aren't all groups of unique characters.

They could also release new units as part of one of those Vigilus campaign box sets. That's what they did in the past with the new plastic Spiritseer and a new Primaris Lieutenant in Wake the Dead, the new Abbarants, Abominant and Battle Leader in Tooth and Claw and the Armiger Warglaives and Cryptek with Canoptek Cloak in Forgebane.

Although you could say Speed Freeks is already Ork's inclusion in the Vigilus storyline.

a bit OT, but it'd be a heck of a way to sell me on new troop kits. Release new CSM troop kit with new wargear, kill team rules in the box? or a box of sisters of battle? I'd snap those right up.
