More 11th Edition Boxset Rumours

[Craig]

Initially thought it was fake until I saw the bin man's coat sleeve and figure it's been fished out of GW's bins as has happened before.

Bull:cuss:.

No Warboss is gonna let a Grot have two guns.

[Exarch Telepse-Ehto]

GW just posted it on their Instagram.

Grateful to GW for confirming it's real seconds before I posted my incorrect guess that it was fake 

 

WHC

 

There is also a selection of aesthetic accessories for things like buckles, kneepads and ammo belts. There are actually even more choices than are shown on these two builds, including alternate heads, boss poles and weapon gubbinz.

 

Neat!

 

Warbosses rarely come alone. This might not be the ONLY new Ork on the way,

so you might want to check back on Monday.

 

Also neat!

[Lexington]

Zoom in on that hand holding the box, and you’ll start to see Problems.

 

Still, this is one hell of a fake, way better than its predecessors. Brave (and sorta stupid?) new world with such AIs in it.

 

EDIT: Welp, punked by reality. Hah!

I wonder if he is like the stand alone terminator Captain, much like there was a different one in the 10th edition box.

I hope the intern that has to fire off an article this late on a friday night is having a good weekend and knows they're appreciated

Seconded.

 

How is it looking for the rest of the Ork rumours? In which one was the multi-part Warboss included?

I’m so glad this turned out to be real.

I've been rethinking my predictions, and I didn't think the box will be called Armageddon for a couple of reasons. We had the book Crusade: Armageddon pretty recently, plus the last couple of launch boxes were named after one of the forces represented within. Indomitus after the forces of that crusade, and Leviathan after the hive fleet most prominent in the 4th Tyrannic war. As this is going to be Orks Vs Marines, it only makes sense to me that the name should be "Waaagh *someone* ", although that doesn't necessarily sell the box to the uninitiated. 

What do you lot think; do we have enough named launch boxes to establish a trend yet, or is it too early to establish a pattern?

Waaaghmageddon?

[Zoatibix]

GW happily use the same name for different things, so I expect a nice simple ‘Armageddon’.

 

Leviathan is a hivefleet and a type of dreadnought, for example.

[Flaherty]

If we look over the last decade, they tend to prefer single-word titles for launch boxes with the occasional 2-3 word variants.

 

- Dark Imperium

- Indomitus

- Leviathan

- Saturnine

- Octarius

- Into the Dark 

- Hivestorm

- Soul Wars

- Dominion

- Skaventide

 

Armageddon makes the most sense to me. It ties to the Ork lore, sounds cool, and contains the obligatory Latin Christian reference for maximal epic-ness. Waaagh would be fun, but it's awkward to say and spell, which is, and it's annoying for distributors and 3rd-party retailers.

 

[SvenIronhand]

The new warboss has me excited for the SM side of things.

Kill Team has yet to give us mounted infantry models. 

 

It would be cool if next Kill Team season gives us mounted infantry rules, but I wouldn't expect that.

Yeah, but apparently, having already had the Crusade Armageddon book, there's allegedly going to be another book called Armageddon during the end-of-edition campaign series, and then another product with the Armageddon title within months of the last, and the third in recent memory? I don't know, that seems like too much, even for GW. "Green tide" sounds too much like Skaventide. "Greenskins" is out because everyone is afraid to sound "fantasy le raciest" these days, like they're all predditors or something. "Goffs" is too made-up. 

They could name the box after the Blood Angels, or some more general Imperial force, but as the BA aren't yet established to be involved in the 4th war for Armageddon I don't have anything to go by. It would be quite the knee-slapper if the announcement happens and GW shows off the marines painted as Crimson Fists and names the box "Battle at the farm".

Valrak’s rumors state it will be ‘blood angels’ on the box, so assuming that’s true seems like all the proof we’ll need they’ll be involved.

That’s not actually a thing in the real world.

 

However, I can pretty much guarantee you that they’re not going to call a box with Space Marines “Greenskins”.

[Xenith]

They could go with one of the hives: HADES is a cool one word name, represents one of the key conflicts of the Armageddon war, and has ties to BA and Yarrick, paving a way for his return.

I seem to recall there were some rumours about a zombie pirate faction for AoS. Maybe those were actually for 40K and we'll get primaris commissar captain Yarr-rick.
