What have we heard rumour-wise about the post-Armageddon 11th Ed Ork Codex wave?

I'd like it to be a non-Gargantuan Squiggoth, but it might be a tad small and lacking in detail

There was the new Warboss that got leaked from the box art, but mostly speculation beyond that. A bunch of stuff in the webstore is "Sold Out Online" - Pain Boy, Boyz, Burna Boyz, Lootas, Weird Boy, current Warboss - so that's a good list to start from (we've already seen the Boyz, Weird Boy and Warboss).

Haven't heard anything about a Squiggoth either way, but it would be cool.

Aren't expecting a more prehistoric Ogre Kingdom's relaunch for AoS? Could easily fit in there too.

Valrak has also heard of a Battlewagon update as well, far as Orks are concerned.

Anything Seraphon coming up?

There was some talk of a plastic titan at one point. Is this a plastic Squiggoth?

The scale of the highlights suggests something significantly smaller unfortunately.
Definitely a Squig though.
Maybe a bigger Squigosaur? By which I mean between the character mount and the Kill Rig Trampla Squig in size.

Baby Mournfang base decoration for an Ogre model.

Mek?



Spannaboy?

My first thought was some sort of ogre.

I think it's got to be ogres, maybe a merc or something?

Can I just say the highlights on that hand look dead weird. It's got to be a glove right?

looks like they're painting it as stone to me

My first thought was a statue.

I think it's an ungloved hand with a leather bracer type thing. Which is also why I think it's a statue of some sort, as the highlights are way off for a flesh and blood hand, and it has no finger nails.

It’s definitely gloved. The heel of the palm shows a wrinkle in the material.

Absolutely gloved. The bottom is stitched together.

Do you mean the dark part that it directly in front of the middle finger, Doc? Because I assumed that was an exaggerated palm crease.

If you don't mean that, then I'm not seeing what you're referring to.

Where the wrist goes into the hand. It’s clearly a single piece of leather.

Stitching bit is slightly odd. But it’s definitely a whole hand and wrist glove.

Oooh I think I see what you're seeing now. Yeah ok, I can see how that'd be a glove.

The bottom part of the "thing" where the stitching is was throwing me with how proud of the wrist it is and hence made me think it was separate from the hand itself. Where as looking at the top nearer the thumb, it's much more in line..

Ok, I'll concede its definitely glove like.

Is this a kunai? New ogor ninja? Wouldn't fit the ogor rumors tho

Looks much too big to be a kunai?

Oversized weapons are nothing new, but primarily its haft is much too long to be a kunai, I'd say.

Sumfink Gobbo I reckon.

I think perhaps more ogre, there looks to be human sized teeth marks towards the top.

Looks like it might be a Matchlock firearm?

No. Wait, crossbow.

New ogre (ogor) hunter?

They’ve not long had a new one, but this lad’s crossbow does look to be a match.



Underworlds maybe? But looks stowed, so could be a mounted Hunter?

We've heard strong rumours of a big range update for Mawtribes so could be part of that

Bite marks could be from a Gnoblar; the driver from the Ironblaster/Scraplauncher also has bite marks on his spear.

A mounted ogre hunter sounds like music to my ears.

If Cities hadn't just gotten such a big wave, i'd be tempted to say it was something to do with the Wildercorps. The bite marks being one of their dogs.

That bite mark is insanely tiny even on a ogre-sized weapon...

Bewk. Maybe naughty forbidden Bewk?

8 pointed star, the number 9. Tzeench. The handwriting doesn’t look overtly chaotic, so my first thought was not a chaos star, but just the 8 winds of magic. But the corner reinforcement of the book look evil.
