I was looking through expanding my Orks with Forgeworld stuff, and saw the Ork Warboss on a bike, went to see what/where the rules were, and it lists it in the Index: Xenos. Those rules are not in there, unless they tear the page out before shipping, anyone know what the deal is?

I'm not sure if I'm understanding you correctly, but Warboss on Warbike is literally right beside the dataslate for Warboss, on the opposite page.

Are you talking about the Index between 7th and 8th? I don't have that, but when I click on the model on Forgeworld, it tells me that the rules for the Warboss on the bike is in the Index: Xenos, the book you get from Forgeworld, and it isn't. Granted, the Ork page on Forgeworld is a mess right now, you have rules for the Meka Dread, but you can only buy the body for it, the arms are for something called a Mega Dread, and there are no rules for that one. I am simply confused entirely with the Forgeworld Orks page right now, I may just skip it and stick with Citadel models.

The rules are in index: xenos 2 which is the book by gw, they are not in imperial armour index: xenos which is the forgeworld book.
It worth picking the book up as it still has loads of good units in it that aren't in the codex like biker boss, mega armour boss, biker mech.....

Ah you mean the FW Index. Well the model is called Zhadsnark da Ripper (i.e. a named character) and his rules are included in the FW book. Rules for the vanilla Warboss on Warbike are in Index: Xenos 2.

Ok, so yeah you're mixing up two different books.

There is Imperial Armour - Index: Xenos, which is put out by FW and includes rules for FW units and there is Index: Xenos, which is put out by GW and includes rules for units that were not carried into the new Codex: Orks.

The rules for a warboss on a bike are in GW's Index: Xenos.

I can definitely see how the confusion arose.

Thanks for the clarification, will most likely skip Forgeworld until I feel like getting the Killtank or Chinork.
