I hope it’s the angle too, but the arms just look a bit short. Like it’s a kit bash using say, Nob arms on a Warboss body.

Like most everyone else I like the Gretchin, albeit not his jaw. If they wanted to give him boss grot vibes they should have given him an iron gob instead. It's easy to fix, though, so no big deal.

Most of the newer GW- Orks have too small heads, so maybe it's that what looks off, especially combined with his blocky shoulders.

I digg it. While the Goff build looks far too Blood Bowl'ye for my sensibilities, the Bad Moonz one is something I could easily jive with.. just with the Power Klaw instead of that axe though.

Hopefully the new boyz will also have a slightly less BB feel to them than previous Boyz kits.. I want my Orks looking more like Kommandos or GSC (ie with clothes on) and less like BB thankyouverymuch! Enough shirtless torsos..

The Orc blood bowl team is head to toe in armour?

Hmm, I see what you mean. I haven't really been exposed to modern Ork proportions and haven't gotten used to them yet. Maybe it's just that.

Remembered to get my MTO in for Badrukk and the Runtz.

Not exactly cheap, but I plan to use Badrukk as something to really push my painting skills.

Its an ok model, but nothing too exciting

I hate it tbh, it looks like an AOS kruelboyz boss cosplaying. That big inverted triangle torso is so distinctly different from ork aesthetics. Plus it seems like longer arms and a more upright posture.

I hope they don't do the same thing to any new boyz that might be coming out (if the rumor on orks as new 11th ed box antagonists is true).

Ah, I found who stole the Warboss's right arm.

I like the new warboss. He keep the spirit of the old metal boss with attack squig, but uppdated for an atempt at less comical style. Way better than the named ork boss with the weird claw.
Great to see a powerfull confident pose rather than ”dashing forward dynamic pose”

For the record, I never said I thought the Warboss was going to be in the starter, but rather surmised that it would be part of the "full wave" that usually follows the launch box (like how Tyranids got their new Hormagaunts, a full kit for Termagants, new Genestealers, etc.). I could of course easily be mistaken and it gets released sooner.

One last minute rumour - Valrak said on his live stream last night that today's reveal is going to be Wazzdakka Gutsmek.

Which would suggest that the Orks are getting at least some models pre-11th as part of the Armageddon book, and maybe where this will fit in.

WAZZDAKKA???!!! Dang, I converted a model of him up WAY back around 2002. I've missed him. I think that will be my first Ork purchase in a LONG time.

Is Wazzdakka the nutter that in 2nd Ed had a Battle Cannon mounted on their Warbike?

Bringing back a niche character who seems not to have been mentioned in almost 20 years is a bit of a surprise.

Although, they did that with Tyranids too.

Yes. Yes he was. Maybe he’s had a chance to upgrade to twin-linked since we last saw him?

I’m hoping the bike is built around the Battle Cannon meself.

Iron Warriors CP and three battlion boxes...

We can but dream that he has a Grot with him driving this.

That is absolutely mint.

Yeah, I remember Wazzdakka. Funny guns at the front, flaming skulls behind!

New Ork bitz spotted!

You may be on the money from the new pics.

That would certainly fit with Wazzdakka but I wonder if the leaked Warboss has meant swapping things around to fill the gap.

They are really trying shift those Ballistus and Redemptor kits.

I have like 4 redemptor sprues unbuilt sitting around. The ballistus isn't bad either, but redemptors are just thrown in everywhere.

I just finished building a redemptor. To be fair, it’s a pretty good kit with a lot of ability to easily modify the pose. So not a bad kit to have a few of.
Ballistus is monopose with no options. But not bad if you only need one.

I quite like the idea of that box, but the Knight one has limited appeal. If the Dominus has rules for 30K I'd very likely have bought one by now, while I think we all have enough of the two Armigers by now.

Can anyone shed light on when the Destrier is going up for pre-order? The wait is torture...

I would imagine its paired with whatever book set has the Apocalypse rules.

I'd guess Sunday will be the pre preorder announcement, actually coming out on the 30th
