new custodes box seems really solid. i already have two blade champions, so i doubt i need a third, but more guard is never a bad thing, plus the wardens and custodians, so i might get my hands on it at some point. not sure if this one is as good as the old one, but it's still plenty good imo

The Custodes battleforce has 6 jetbikes, which kind of no-sells it for me in spite of the new SC. The Combat Patrol, on the other hand, has exactly the mix of models I want (I need literally everything in that box, I might even buy 2).

doubling up on the new CP seems pretty great. two of this box can be nearly 2000 points on its own, and that can be a decent army

Is Custodes CP better now that it has 0 girls allowed?

It will depend on how much things change in the new codex, and if they're supported by the rules or just left as their own thing with just baseline units.

These two boxes look like a real good way to start the army, and the old CP didn't really. Having the brain fart of 'Oh, the combat patrol starter rules don't have to use everything in the box' seems like a massive revelation for GW.

Yeah, the monopose is a downside but those boys are awesome.

I'll take another 10 from Kromlech for a whole squad

Exactly.

Prices for this week:
170€ for both battleforces which is actually 10€ less than the christmas battleforces and 5€ less than the last two army sets

They are great looking, shame that resin though.

What's "Chikoz Pizoteadorez"? My translate app doesn't recognise it, and Google keeps telling me I'm a robot for searching it

I think that must be the Ork Battleforce "Stompa Boyz." I am just basing that on the price, though.

Based off of the price, the Stompa Boyz box.

Change the zeds to s and it's Chicos Pizoteadores or trample boys.

I was just getting back to painting my Orks and struggling for motivation. This arrived just in time.

Excited about the codex but I don't really need either of the box sets. Might pick up the CP as Beast Snaggaz are a gap in my collection right now, but I want to get what I've got painted done first and defintiely see what the codex brings before making a bunch of purchases.

I just find it hilarious that boyz are Chikoz in Spanish lol.

So no new tankbustas...
What a sad state of affair to be stuck
with this crappy finething resin kit, and
the even crappier rules they have urged on them
for 10th...

What makes you think there will be no new tankbusters? There very well could be a new kit they just haven't shown yet.

They're not coming with this codex. However given the rate they've been churning through deleting or replacing finecast stuff I wouldn't be surprised to see them replaced before the end of 10th.

We're on schedule for another Apocalypse update next year...

Or a kill team.

Good to see GW's proofreaders are working to full ability, going by the "Try Dat Button" stratagem.

Still, some interesting things in that article.

What's the problem?

You can either:
A) Roll for it and get no Hazardous penalty
OR
B) Choose a specific perk and get Hazardous, failing on a 1 or a 2.

You don't fail on a 1 or 2 for all weapons.
Only weapons that have Hazardous from two or more sources.

Orks currently have 55 Datasheets, and the new deck of cards with the codex contains 51 datasheets - so you might not be left with the resin kit and poor rules being an issue.

Gain the new big mek, lose the bosshead bunka and the mekshop? There's still three things left on the chopping block - Waaagh banner disappearing (or being folded into nobs if we're lucky), KKF mek without mega armour perhaps. Zagstrukk, Mad Doc Grotsnik I think would be more likely than the standard Wyrdboy (though the Beastsnagga one could be rolled into being the standard plastic character on foot rather than a separate type).

I think:
Tank Bustas
Wierdboy
Waagh banner
Zagstrukk
Mad Doc
Kaptain Badrukk

are the last fine cast? Is there anything else?

Fair play, but I'm still failing to see the issue.

The lost units have already leaked, its Boss Zagstrukk, Kaptin Badrukk, Mad Dok Grotsnik, Nob with Banner, Mek with Force-Field and the Mekshop going away. The Nob on Smasha squig seems to be being folded into the Squighog boyz as well.

Just.

Confused? It makes sense to me.

And this is why people need to read what is written, not what they think is written.

If a weapon equipped by a model from you army has the [HAZARDOUS] ability...

(Emphasis mine)

I know this is the Ork Codex, but the rules should still be written in correct English.

Whilst you are categorically correct it also doesn't break anything per se.
