Flash Gitz!!!! Very pirate-y! I think I approve. Excited to see options and weapon specs.

Ok... first off... beautiful models! Wow those stormtroopers look great! Not to mention those flash gitz are a portrait to model exact translation, great stuff!
I do have to ask this though: Was I the only person on planet earth that was thinking another walker was the last thing the oaks needed?
Sure... run them with Kan/Dread wall as a way to take out pesky troops which could take out a kill a kan in cc... But that's so rare... best use I can think is mega-nobz no longer having to slog slow and purposefully across the board... but trucks do that really well too... At least they have 5th and 13 f&s armor. They will need it!
Doesn't Mario say ere we go?
But I was thinking buggies or those bikes with flamers.... now I realize truck full of burnas could have the same effect, but with movement penalties it's not...

The How-to-Paint-a-Morkanaut cover confirms plastic Big Gunz, plastic Meganobs, plastic Big Mek, plastic Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun. Big Gunz and Meganobz went up in size, which is probably to "justify" a huge increase in price. That being said, I love the Big Gunz. The Meganobz I will have to see more pics. The Big Mek in front/left and the Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun look really good.

GW is obviously pushing bigger models = bigger pricepoint concept at the moment. Superheavies, Fliers, and Giant Walkers are the new hotness. I will stick with infantry, as that is what I like to paint.

I only have two comments to make.
1. The models look great.
2. GW's greedy, whore-mongering ways can suck it.

I agree Sil. But did you think.. ever in a million years another walker, or even two for that matter, were really the addition to the Ork army that really rounded them out and was going to make a big difference to the army as a whole?
As the resident Ork specialist, what would you have liked to see instead?

Pricing aside... The bubble shooter looks fairly un-orky to me... Don't get me wrong, I love that the army is finally getting "da treatment"... and not every model can be perfect etc... It's difficult to see past pricing for value. If a player always wanted amazing artillery play IG, but if you really like orks.... seems like lootas as are still king! If you want cool models at bs or 3 and want artillary... ere we go!!

Hmmm....as this is all speculative and could just be non-sense I will make no finger points to GW...
However if these are real I would say first I am disappointed in the decision to make lootas cheaper, that really seems like wish-listing to me. Especially since everything else seems to make it slightly more balanced.
Like squigs giving a re-roll in melee, ramshackle getting reigned in a bit, mob rule getting conditions, deffrolla getting re-evaluted etc...
Some good things: Kommandos getting stealth(seems a little wish-listy, but also makes sense), Big Meks get more choices(a great idea if true), and not listed but we know about, Flash Gitz.
The warband detachment seems a bit over powered and a way to sell more models, that cans come in 6 packs is funny...
Overall it would be interesting to see how much is true. I still feel like I would rather see some other new unit with focus on skyfire rather than cheaper lootas.
What do you guys think?

Does this work? Beasts of War had some rumors too... One even would explain lootas keeping cost and that is possibly getting the "gets hot" special rule... <iframe src="http://blip.tv/play/h6ANg4q6KwI.x?p=1" width="720" height="433" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://a.blip.tv/api.swf#h6ANg4q6KwI" style="display:none"></embed> If that link doesn't work www.beastsofwar.com/warhammer-40k/ork-rumours-warhammer-40k/

Yah... take that kit and a deffdread kit... Boom! Or If you really want to get Orky, finally a use for that giant chaos monster truck(which I assumecan be found for cheap somewhere due to it being ludacris) remove the top, then two gork/morkanauts, and some sentinel sprues, and a battlewagon box.... Boom! It could be so orky!
Good to hear from you!
