Yeah, Madboyz would be a great addition. Some Squig herd 40k equivalent would be sweet too.
Just...put rules for squigs in the game.
have people buy the squig herd box and use it?
No model = no rules, and the Squid Herd box is explictly for AoS-only.
And currently the only Tzaangor box produced by GW is for Age of Sigmar, yet they're still in Codex Thousand Sons.
Does the "Start Collecting: Thousand Sons" box count? It's got Tzaangors and the conversion sprue in it.
Just to preach to the choir... The Chaos Deamon Start Collecting boxes all say "Age of Sigmar" on them, and there's no '40k players not allowed' sign on the Age of Sigmar Broken Realms boxes. (Some of the demon boxes are marked with both logos, but not all of them, is what I'm saying...)
So while I'm sitting here wondering which of the new AoS Slaanesh stuff is eventually going to show up for the EC, I sure don't see a good reason for GW not putting AoS squig models in the Ork book.

GW had Squigs and Squiggoths in an old chapter approved list back in the 90s. It's the one thing that has started me looking at AOS and a gloomspite army. It's always good to be able to get multiple uses out of models either as the models they are or in a kitbashing way. Adding squigs and squiggoths would give an added depth to the Orks army.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Madboyz being back in all their crazy glory would be great! It would lead to all kinds of great conversions. New rules for them would be excellent also.

I guess they could make an upgrade sprue for the squig herd set, and give it alternative squig heads (space marine helmets in the mouth instead of trapped night goblins, maybe different torsos and heads for the night goblins or even a runtherder, etc). But even then, the squigs are all on very un-40kish bases. 40k orks don't have bases covered in mushrooms, stalagtites, or weird mushroom monsters.
AOS/Fantasy models do transition over sometimes, like the mutalith vortex beast, tzaangors, etc. But as much as I love squigs and the current squig set, I just don't see it being used in 40k. We'd need an entirely different set for them, and have things like bombs, metal limbs, etc which could conceivably be done on an upgrade sprue, but it'd have to be something way bigger than just giving tzaangors some bolters and chainswords.
Edit: Actually, it looks like the goblins are on the same sprue, with only a few squig legs there as well. So keep two of the three sprues, and make a third sprue with a runt herder, some bombs to stick on the squigs, and legs jumping off 40k terrain. Perfect.

Wow. I only read the minderz+weirdboy fluff in the 2E Codex, I didn't know they did that as models. That's awesome. I need to build such a mini-diorama.

With the wurrboy being functionally a wyrdboy in plastic (maybe the difference between elite and ha versions, like mek vs big mek or pain boy vs painboss?) and a plastic megawarboss, that leaves only 2 really important characters to plasticize: big mek with KFF and nob with waaagh banner.

Oh, and if you enjoy waging war in the 41st Millennium too, don’t miss next Saturday’s online preview. If you like Orks, you will NOT want to miss it.
I'm getting really curious about when they're going to talk about those leaked Horus Heresy images. It feels like they came at a really bad time for GW when they were focused on pushing Age of Sigmar 3rd ed hard, but now that the game is officially out I'm hoping for something soon.
(Orks are cool too - they're my 40k army - but 30k previews would be nice too.)

I still think almost every 'leak' is GW's doing.

Nah, if it was a hint at an actual Squiggoth it would be really strange to say "as we know from Squiggoths, Squigs can be really big". It's just the large Squig we saw in the drawings.

7!
I really like the Horizin Zero Dawn-esque mecha animal gear the Beastsnaggas have on the characters. Not sure if it's not too much overall if most models in the army have it.

I'm sure that a lot of them are, but usually GW will very quickly have some kind of social media post showing off good pictures of whatever the leaked thing might have been. Just look at the recent pics of the new ork boy, after the leak from the back of the Gaunt's Ghosts(?) box.
Here we saw the 30k leaks(whether intentional or not), and since then.... we haven't heard a single thing. I would lean more toward "intentional" if the timing wasn't so bad; that is to say, literally right before the huge marketing push to get everybody excited to buy into the new Age of Sigmar edition.

I'm curious how Squighog Boyz will compare to Warbikers especially with the Nob able to upgrade his squig for the charge/heroic intervention. 5D6 rolls against an enemy unit within engagement range and on a 4+ cause a mortal wound is good.
Maybe we will get a option for Squig herds?
I would hope we get a couple different sizes of Squiggoth that correspond to the different contraptions. It would be even better if they can separate the contraption from the Squiggoth and they become two separate units.

Definitely something different than already released models. All those upcoming ork releases are new stuff. GW wants us to buy the new models, not to play the new units with what we already have .

Well the carrier beast in video is most likely candinate and unless video scales were way off that's not even close to FW squiggoth size. Big yes but not that big

Well, actually, the ordinary FW Squiggoth is rather tiny - about trukk size, plus the howdah height. It looks almost like a baby next to the gargantuan...

Looks to really hard hint at the model pulling the trailer to be a squiggoth and I can believe it.
Also new picks inside.
It's a squiggoth according to the text and I can see it.
The image here really reminds me heavily of the night goblin riding the squig in the Night Goblin Command set from Forge World. Same sort of heavy, huge horn on the front.

Considering how many Gargantuan Squiggoth pictures I had to sort through to find regular Squiggoths much less one actually next to something for a size comparison, it's understandable that people are unaware of the size.
That said, it still looks like it would be bigger than whatever's pulling the tower.
