Oh snap!

Getting your ork vehicles mixed up?

Blast for Melee does not scream joy...

Ork models better than expected.
Wartrakk especially is surprisingly good.

But I really don't like the Waaagh Walker. Feels a bit redundant and stupid. Should have been a new Deff Dread.

Nah. A verbatim copy of the post immediately before.

I was getting similarly mad about this.

They did correct themselves with what I consider a very polite “shut up, nerds!”

Intercessors are looking nice.

I dunno. Bike at the front, tracks at the back, gun on top. Pretty much a wartrakk.

I’m enjoying the more dynamic look of the Marine stuff.

Not sure I’m gonna get the box though. Will probably scab about trying to get the lore book instead. Love me lore, me.

The marine stuff is cool. Not super necessary but cool. I could probably skip it if I wasn't for sure getting the Ork stuff.

Yeah. It's nice an' all, but I think I have the will power to resist the figures this time around. I would like the paper components too, though.

Really liking the banners in the Orky half. Just enough sculpted detail, and very traditional.

Everything looks cool. Not super novel, but just basic stuff done well. I'm definitely getting the box.

Yeah this is super skippable. The captain and librarian are alright and the VanVets look like okay kitbashing material, but I'll pass on this.

Surprised the Intercessor squad's loadout is unchanged. I would have thought they'd mess with it just to encourage people to replace their older unit.

So no more Crusade confirmed :-(

To be honest, the poses and armour details are interesting enough to encourage sales, without causing grief by (so far! We don’t currently know if there’s an updated regular kit coming) by adding in all new options.

I loved every single Ork unit in this box. I also absolutely hated every Marine unit in this box.

I'm now torn.. either I skip the box, like I was going to, or buy it and sell the Astartes off. The contents of this box's Ork half would make for a nice 2nd edition 40K army foundation, just add more grots and a Killa Kan..

oh well, plenty of time to think about it

Well that was incredibly whelming.

I liked that bit at the end where they tried to not say Crusade was dead but heavily implied it was a 10th edition game mode.

Quite happy with how the Ork side looks, the heads on the new Boyz are quite nice (a big step up from the Beast Snagga Boyz).

Seems like some of the upper bodies and legs are exchangeable which is interesting. Don't expect you'll notice the differences much on the table though, would've been nicer to get some more variant arms.

If Invaders really go away you could definitely get away with putting them on a base as a Land Speeder. Might need to give them a tactical rock for a Dukes pose though.

The Orks and Grotz bring back a lot of GorkaMorka memories...which is pretty awesome!

Cool. Looks as close to the 2nd ed box as one could expect.

Landspeeder looks cool, and worthy replacement of the old and to replace the ATV.

Orky Walker is a fun concept, but doesn't bring much new that a Dread or Kan Mob brought.

Marines are fairly pedestrian to me.
IDK what's up with the Captain's hair, so helmet it is.
Chappy is good enough. Can detail him up in appropriate chapter bling.
Ancient is cool, but doesn't improve on the solo blister or the Company Heroes versions.
Librarian seems to be literally a repose of the original Primaris dude.
Intercessors should have had one beaky. disappointed. Also, they should have something besides the grenade launcher...
Vanguard are what I expected. Power Sword & pistol. Relic Blade is nice. Hopefully there is a multi-part kit with weapon options down the road.
I like the Eradicator armor, so additional loadout is nice. But they could have had 2 like the Inceptors or a chaingun?

I notice there's only 10 grots & they share sprue with the boyz.
That also means there is only 5 real poses/upper body swaps, because the heads seem one piece with the arms.
Ork boyz look okay.
Nobs and bosses seem way over-sized to me.
IDK, just something about the orks feels off.

Very cool to see the new Wartrakk. Wish they'd shown some weapon options and a size comparison to current bikers.

Spoiler:

Interesting that the legs appear to be swappable. Usually that's where I start for these things but its the upper torso that's mostly the same. Really impressive with how different the Boss Nob looks in its two poses. Definitely less redundant than the current kit too.

The Painboy and Big Boss are also great, loving the old-school face on the Big Boss.
Warboss and Boss Nob sadly have the same tiny arms as the warboss kit.

The marine half is a bit meh, but I'm also part of the (rare) breed of player who doesn't own a single Space Marine.

I do like the look of the campaign/lore book, I might have missed it but was there any mention of scenarios in the book?

I hope, with Mission Decks even more essential to gameplay, there is a firm commitment by GW to keep them in good supply.

Given this is 2026/2027 Deck? We can only hope.

Imagine missing out and being stuffed for a year.

I originally thought it was the tactical rock which was exchangeable before I noticed the leg differences
Also impressed by the variation in the two Nobz, they made me think it was a sprue of 20 sculpts at first.

I hadn't caught that, so during Grot week they really did show the only five fully unique Grots in the box
That's a bit dissapointing, and I'm not sure if a separate new Grot kit is in the cards.

The Captain's Mk.X helmet is a nice design, really giving the classic Mk.VII a run for its money

I am actually quite impressed by the ork half!
Boyz were my biggest concern, as the previous kit was a massive step back compared to the old gitz. Weirdboy I like the least.
Will probably try to find a person to split the box with.

One thing that I picked was that Boyz Nob leaders have option for kombi-shoota or Rokkit-Shoota with different profiles as this was requested a lot. And I hope these "requests" will follow on marines and we get combi-plasma/melta/flamer back.

And I really, really hope that this happens because combined combi-weapon profile is one the stupidest things, ever.
