If that is the standard of basing you use i dont think you should go around giving advice to other people

These ones are great though. Easy to use and once you're done, you can't tell them apart from a normal 32mm base. Not that I'd expect anyone to rebase for any other reason that they personally think the models look better that way.

If i ever can bring myself to rebasing i will use those or just replace the whole base, the amount of work with texturing and painting should be the same.

Ah, Orks. We got actual video of the actual models but the discussion still is still continuing on about base sizes, all of which is pure speculation.

As to the models, now that I have seen both sides I can say the only one I don't like is the yellow one. Just too race care to me. If the rules are good I'll have to make some major changes to the model so it will look right. The others all work, though, and an army of them on the table - wow, that will be cool.

We've kinda talked about the new models to death though? They all look incredible to me, even the Dragster. The only one I possibly won't get is the squig Buggy because I use red for my Squigs as well as my go fasta paint and I think it'll be too much red.

Is it just me or do the Orks look bigger than normal?

No, it's not. I'd imagine it's one of the squigs on the new rukkatrukk

~~Resists making a 32mm base joke~~ I think it's because you're thinking the base is the big flyer one, I think it might be the second largest oval - Dragoon one, rather than the big tyranid monster one

**leopard**

"exclusive to this set" on two of the buggies, so two of them only via this set at least to start with

**PiñaColada**

"In the box, you’ll find the rules, tokens and templates you need to play, plus six Warbikes and two of the new Ork buggies, exclusive to this set." Do they usually use this definitive language when describing something that's a "timed exclusive", like the armigers in forgebane?

I'll buy the box either way but surely those buggies will drop as standalone boxes later on..?

Hmm, with pre-orders on the 20th, that would likely push codex pre-orders to the 27th, meaning our codex isn't actually coming out in October unless they decide to do something weird with the release schedules.

would be a large surprise if they are not sold individually later, seems a bit odd not to have the option to pay more per model to buy them individually - unless GW are concerned to a level people will think the box is expensive for the two buggies as either they have the bikes or think they will still be rubbish

Aah perhaps. Thought they were on the same base the Orkanauts come with?

Can't wait to get my mitts on speed freeks and the other buggies.

**beerbeard**

GW said the base is the 120mm, so I think the same as the Gorkanaut.

Of course the only one I don't care for is in the box, but I'll buy it anyway. I don't have any bikes, and this is probably the cheapest way to get in to them. Just hope the rules are good. Can't wait to get my hands on this.

**rtb02**

4 kits to come and a codex. They can eek it out for 5 weeks :(

As assumed, reads like etb equivalents in the box for the 2 buggies.

Assuming a £75 price tag. Fingers crossed!

Codex still octobbr rEleaase though( it's preorder date that counts

if the two buggies are only in the box it may be ETB versions for those two is all you will see, the more versatile kits being the other ones

Part of me expects that scatter terrain to feature in another box in the not too distant future, possibly with the Mek Shop whatever that ends up as, though it does look very nice from the few pics I've seen I'm not sure its anything more than basic decoration in 40k, could be useful in KT though?

All the codex details will be out in under 2 weeks, if not sooner. Most likely the official rules previews start next Sunday/Monday.

This thread needs less waaaaaa and more waaaaaaagh

The sprues don't look very easy to build to me

Sure, I assume we'll get standalone kits for them later as well. But some stuff, like the space marine captain in gravis armour is only available through one of these types of sets if I'm not mistaken..

I'm just sad that it seems like we'll have to wai another week for the codex, it really feels like we could've gotten both the same date. Maybe they're afraid that noone will look at the speed freeks game if the codex is out at the same time?

**leopard**

one captain model is slightly different to two larger vehicles, but this is GW so you never know.

though if those two buggies don't get a general release I can see them being dropped in the next codex revision.

Can wait for the codex here a few more weeks, though at this point my spend is likely limited to codex & cards, I want to see the rules before buying more models

Inference on the basis they're unique to the box and don't look to have any posability

They look to have as much possibility as the others. I think they’ll be unique to the box for now but will be released on their own at some point.

Is Gorkanought the 120mm base? Judging from the range ruler in the speed freek set it's one of those - larger than the Dragoon but not the biggest (which is the Knight one I guess)

Exclusive to this box? I already have 13 bikers and I don't like the dragsta, so if the buggies are really exclusive to the box, it means no Kustom Boomblasta for me

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

I'm sure ebay will provide

and probably cheaper than the non box set buggies even if it isn't by much especially if you grab on in week 1 before the sellers see how much the stand alone ones are going to be

I don't think I'll ever rebase my boys (I've already based my nobz and painboy on 32mm bases), but if I do one day, these adapters seem nice. If you're lazy, you can also keep them black, it doesn't look that bad!

FAirly sure it\s just standard marketing speech to get people buy those boxes NOW as it costs more than the 2 vehicles would cost individually aka more profit to GW the more they sell this rather than separate ones individually.
