None of which have been previewed so... I don't understand your attempt at a point.

Ah...I think he knows about the embargo GW has placed on miniatures that could be referred to as Imperial Guard until that term has been erased from history. Once us bitter low gothic clinging reprobates have died of old age they will release new plastic multi Regimental kits.....

**Billicus**

"Regiments" is too generic a term, try Astra Militarum BattleFight StormLegions

**Kanluwen**

Go make a thread somewhere else, none of that discussion is on-topic.

Humour. It was humour.

Possibly for the rest of the week but today in England it is a public holiday. So it does seem a bit of an odd time.

Could just be so that the presenters can have time with their family or take care of non-work related stuff. Could also be that they're trying to make it a bit more accessible to everyone, as usually the shows are at 9am my time/2pm BST.

Except y'know, we had Rumour Engines pic that looked kinda like Tyranids and Craftworlds. I'm just saying all of them are equally unlikely

Not everyone gets the day off though. Including the staff of Warhammer stores, which happen to be open today.

Pfft, just pull an all nighter like me

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

I really hope we get a proper good look at Kragnos, and not a “one more thing” type teaser.

**Not Online!!!**

Some not so young anymore.

Also i dread the new "improved" aspects warriors: Tactical rocks to expose yourself to enemy fire and a price tag for that privilege

Well, you have had years to buy the current resin kits in order to spare you from that horror.

Not an eldar player

I just find it particulary counter to how i imagine eldar.

Also, finecrap, not resin.... And portraying finecrap as an alternative is a bit.... optimistic.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Guess this counts.

?!? CYBORKS!

Cool mini but not a great one. Good but not great. Think many may give this a miss.

Robogrot is clearly, point for point, the greatest and ‘ardest model in the game.

Damn right he is the 'ardest one, is he.

Shame though that these will be seemingly one offs. A propper cybork unit would be fun to have for orks ...

**BertBert**

Will need a head swap, but other than that it's pretty cool.

**Galas**

Man, I love him. Hes phenomenal.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

He’s gonna scoot up your warlord and unbolt it’s head.

Where are you then, mighty Titan???

I should probably have contained my excitement and provided the flavour text, as it suggests more bionics on Beastsnaggas. As one expects when handling Squigs on a regular basis.

Warcom wrote: Oi, dis iz an emergency! Da Big Boss’ fav’rit grot got stepped on by one o’ you gits, an’ I need a proper Dok ‘ere NOW. I ‘eard dem Beast Snaggas ‘ave sum pretty choppy Doks in dere mobs, so get dem ‘umies from dat ‘regular feature’ fing to go find out wot’s wot over dere. I SAID NOW.

As you might expect, a group of Orks that hang around almost exclusively with big, angry squigs suffer more than their fair share of injuries before they even get to the fightin’. With such constant demand for Doks’ services, it comes as no surprise that many of the Beast Snaggas get rather good at the art of battlefield surgery.

Known as the Painbosses, these enterprising surgeons transcend the simple genetic knowledge of the Painboyz and develop greater medical skills than many assume Orks are capable of. They’re particularly favoured by the Beast Snaggas for their knowledge of squig physiology, giving them the ability to graft crude bionics and armour plates to their steeds when the need arises.

In fact, Painbosses are so used to running around after the impetuous Squighog Boyz that many give their slow, organic legs a bit of fixin’. One of the most popular upgrades is to attach devices known as soopa-legz below the knee, using the power of Orky ingenuity to propel themselves at much higher speeds than normal. This isn’t to say these Doks exclusively work for the Beast Snaggas, though – they’re quite happy to patch up anything for a bag full of teef.

While it’s common for Doks of all kinds to keep a few Gretchin around to carry supplies, hold wounds open, and be clenched in the jaw during particularly painful amputations, the grot orderlies that accompany a Painboss need a few modifications of their own to keep up. Why have tiny, runty legs when you can have a motorbike wheel instead?

These Doks aren’t just for fixing up injured Beast Snagga Boyz, either. Like any Ork worth their salt, the Painbosses are just as capable of giving ‘oomies, beakies, and any of the others a good kicking. Their klaw, affectionately dubbed a power snappa, looks a little smaller and lighter than a normal power klaw. That’s probably a good thing – when you’re getting a new arm attached, the last thing you want is the Painboss being less accurate.

**NAVARRO**

What a mess of a mini...

What the heck is that. Looks like somebody crossed orks with Dark Eldar. Initial impression is that I don't know if I like it.

**Oguhmek**

Hmm, I don't understand the head. It would look better with a more conventional Ork head, I think.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Just a common or garden variety Bionik Bonce. He probably gets his face bitten fairly often.

**Wha-Mu-077**

Finally some proper Cybork action

Not putting it in the OP though.

'Ere We Go is its own schtick!

I really like these little featurettes they are doing.

**Crimson**

*Desire to collect orks intensifies*

That's seriously cool model.
