It's a bit late for wishlists.

Or too early, one might say. The closest to rules revision GW will give us is any of the upcoming warzone supplements.

my wishlist: that i can still play orks and not get extremely mad 2/3 of the codex or more is auto-lose terrible.
Which so far is not happening.

8th edition changed the reroll from both to 1 die. So it’s possible
None of those items are stat changes that are unlikely but yea my main concern is lack of mobility especially for assault.

Codex doesn't seems very competitive.

We can not depend from our T5 whole time...

Calling it early unless we are missing something big this codex is going to be absolute bottom of the barrel.

Only things I've seen so far that have me even slightly excited are the cheaper stompa and the named squig rider character.

Everything else looks like a side grade or slight nerf.

How this faction is going to be able to hit a barn door at 10 paces without Dakka Dakka strat and rule I have no clue.

Giving us an additional wodge of attacks if we somehow close to short range and get everyone in is not going to cut any kind of cheddar.

Well… I’m quite happy with Kanz getting WS4+. I’ve wanted to pick some up for a while so maybe they’ll be worth using now.

Put em in the krumpin' pile with "even if we're bad orkz is never beaten!" types.

Possible combo could be Zodgroda +1 to hit, if Kanz have the grot keyword, 3s to hit in shooting and cc could be quite good

I'm just really sad about Evil Sunz. Favorite tribe by far and was already sad over not just 8th not having a character but them taking FW's character away too. Now apparently we lose boss on a bike... so it's just my trike I guess.

The plus 1 to charge is devastating but I'm still sticking with ES. I refuse to slog 5" orks.. 4" for Meganobz.

Before all of this I said here and elsewhere I didn't understand how enemy armies would deal with t5 spam across an entire codex. Now I know how. Nuke down everything else lol

Gretchin Core only. Won't work on Kanz who are rumored to not have core.

They probably won’t but would also be pretty nice to get Klan Kultures too. Goff Kanz getting +1S and extra hits on 6’s would be pretty dope.

Biker boss is a FW unit, so being excluded from the codex is reasonable. No different than other FW units like grot tanks, squiggoths, etc.

My mistake. For some reason I thought I read in one of the discord leaks they were canning that.

You did - because it read like the dude leaking didn't know WTF he was talking about. It was worded as if it was removed from the Codex. Like.. dude, it was never there to begin with.

It's why I'm skeptical we're missing context still. But we shall ssseee...

There's also the Trukkboyz subkultur which is apparently decent - losing ES kultur won't affect them much, so I'm very curious to see what that looks like.

Thought Kanz and dreads were core but your right, it’s probably too much to ask for with this codex. Getting very worried about this release

A youtuber put a video of some leaks up



sorry if im duplicating and for the big post ......... but its easaier than reading discord posts lol

Thanks for posting, but they literally made a video about the discord leaks.

Kudos for the Gravity Falls reference, but yeah, its the usual rumour mongers that are super late to the party.

If Orks lack a army wide rule like every other codex has gained with their 9th codex, this will be the first 9th codex I call a failure.

SAD.

I think Waaagh is their army wide rule.

Except it cant be, for 2 reasons

1) we already had that rule...they just turned it from an aura to a once per game thing like it used to be
2) its only affecting 2 turns, while everyone else gets game-long effects.

Again with the orks getting crappier rules everyone else gets but not being costed to compensate with numbers. Boyz at 9 is a joke so far, even 11 for snaggas isnt that great

I... being the super optimist wait for the Codex guy, would consider that to be a total fail as well. The Waaaggh ability is our version of canticles/necron phases thing/DG virulence gak.

If there are not additional army-wide rules - it's just this Waaagh thing, total fething garbage and I'll drop my positivity.

I think you're right, but an army wide rule that does nothing 3/5 turns is pretty disappointing all the same. If there was something else it would have been previewed, just like every other codex.

I'm hopeful they'll be some minor stuff that we get, but it isn't going to be doctrines.

Still, we'll probably end up with a beast snagga army of reknown that is incredible in a month or two and then it'll all be okay right? (No)

The new and improved Ere we go is our army wide rule.

Unless they change it - it isn't army wide. Put it on my Bonebreakas and maybe I'll be a little excited but currently it's on some gak but not others.

But Marine Servitors don’t get doctrines. Totally the same thing, right? /sarcasm
