As a guess for the stats it is likley to be standard orky stat line. M 10", WS 4+, BS 5+, S 4, T 5, W 4, A 4, Ld 7, Sv 6+ Could be better than that tbh. Conservative estimate. Maybe faster???

Think these are the only good cavalry currently, all daemons. https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Daemons-Of-Khorne-Bloodcrushers https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Seekers-of-Slaanesh Ignoring these as not CC cavalry, but are also pretty good. https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Adeptus-Mechanicus-Serberys-Sulphurhounds--2020 IG used to have cavalry but now don't, maybe they will get there's back too at some point.

Nids and daemons don't.
Honestly quite surprised by a lot of peoples reaction to these. Seems they thought 40k was a hard sci-fi setting for some reason.

Orks, tyranids. Flayed ones ain't touting power armour(or 3+). Eldar have non-3+. Dark eldar. Daemons. Maybe others.
You were saying?
Funny how people make silly claims easily disproven. People enjoy being publicly horribly wrong?

What Do You Mean, Not All Beast Snaggas Ride Squigs? WarCom wrote:Now, I’z been ‘earin that some of you boyz ‘av been getting yer teef kicked in by them big Beast Snagga gitz. Oi! I don’t care ‘ow much of a laff that is, I wanna know wot makes them boyz so tuff. Get the ‘oomies back on da case, dey figgered out da squighog stuff in dis reg’lar feature last time, right? Wot’s a reggiler feature anyway? Zog it, you ladz make my ‘ed ‘urt… The Beast Snaggas might be well known for riding into battle on the backs of various squig species, but some delight in bringing their targets down on their own two feet. Banding together into large mobs of Beast Snagga Boyz, these ferocious fighters can often be found crashing into the monsters brought down by their stikka-lobbing comrades and hacking their tough hides to pieces. A (relatively short) lifetime of hunting huge, dangerous beasts has made these Orks particularly large and strong in comparison with regular Boyz. While they’re not quite as durable as a Nob, they can certainly swing their choppas just as hard, which makes them especially prone to lording it over the Boyz they charge alongside. Although the Beast Snaggas’ adherence to the old ways of Orky culture makes them an ideal fit for the equally traditionalist Snakebites, they can be found across almost every clan. While other greenskins might see them as a bit weird, no one will turn down a few extra bodies in a fight, and it can be a good laugh seeing the Beast Snagga Boyz trying to harpoon giant tanks. As if they weren’t tough enough already, the frequent and plentiful injuries that come as part of any career in squig-wrangling* mean frequent trips to the Dok, and by necessity Beast Snagga Doks are some of the most ‘creative’ around. Thankfully, we haven’t had a reason to catch a look at one up close just yet, but surely they can’t be any worse than Ghazghkull’s personal sawbones… Are you looking to start up your own Waaagh! in preparation for the Beast Snaggas’ arrival? Begin your green tide today with the Start Collecting! Orks set, then fill it out with whatever you fancy, be it more Boyz, a Boss Mob, or even a hulking Gorkanaut. We’ll be back in two weeks with another bit of reconnaissance. * When even your breakfast is squig-based, it’s a given that you’re going to get bitten one of these days.

The head on this guy certainly looks more "ork" than the ones on the Squighog riders.
I think I like him, though it doesn't appear as if there's much poseability to the mini. Guessing we'll get these in boxes of 5 or 10 individual sculpts. Knowing GW, it'll be 5 for $55.
I wonder how they'll handle the granularity of "tougher than boyz but not as tough as nobz"?.

So… they’re basically Skarboyz but with regular Ork armour (i.e. tissue paper and wishes)?
That’s fine.

They may just be Skarboyz, to differentiate them from normal boyz and remove that strategem. We also know they have some shoulder mounted big shootas too, so could be a soft replacement for the current boyz box if they give shootas as an option.

Well those are armed like regular Boyz, look like one and act like one then it is naturally a Troop choice.
But I am more interested if these guys actually use "guns".

Well I meant shoota of course. Slugga is just cube shaped club that sometimes shoots.
But really, just looking at it I just get the feeling that it was originally a resculpt.

My guess would be they're built more around melee than shooting (the plain warbikers are much better at shooting than melee, though they're still rubbish at both for their points). Probably will have a normal-ish "biker" statline, but with abilities triggering on the charge.
I suppose the real question will be how they compare to nob bikers, especially in melee weapons.
