Lord Marshal Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 (edited) Paint it red. Bonus: Ork Boyz from the new starter sets.

HeadlessCross Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Looks like they're not far out of scale, if at all, with the older kit. That's definitely good news for Orks players. From the preview I AM concerned about the base S5. They shouldn't be wounding Marines at the same rate as Sisters or Guardsmen.

Craig Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Lovely models. Was a bit weird that they cropped the Boyz datasheet to remove the unit size though, that was what I was curious about.

Zoatibix Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Continuing the trend of fantastic glow-ups for the Orks. The Starter Set Boyz are even cooler than the Launch Box chaps!

They showed new trukks compared to the old, and it looked great alongside them.

Evil Eye Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 The new Trukk looks excellent, definitely fancy getting one. A worthy successor to the previous one I feel. Also nice they specifically said it's completely compatible with the old one (in terms of not being massively bigger or anything).

Lexington Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Good lord are Orks ever doing well with this revamp. The Trukk is gorgeous, the Mek's all kinds of fun, and on top of it all they kick Space Marines out of their traditional first release slot. Everything's coming up green. Seriously, as a grognard who still has fond memories of being sixteen years old and excitedly ripping into a box of 3rd Ed Boyz on their first day of release, I was really prepped to ignore this release, but GW's completely knocked it out of the park here. Good on the team for it, I hope they're as proud as they deserve to be.

Nephaston Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Seeing how three of the boyz in this introductory kit have a similar lean I wonder if they have a similar amount of customizability. Hell, they might even just mesh directly into the starter set ones..

Indy Techwisp Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Not sure where else to put this, but they showed off more options for that Warboss that got revealed early a while back: Nice to see some more dedicated Blood Axe bits, imo. The new Mek also feels a but Blood Axe-ish but that might just be him having a screw in his mouth like a cigar.

ThaneOfTas Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Just on the codex, while I'm glad to hear that they're bringing back lore on each unit, I'm a little concerned that there was no reference to any crucible of champions content in the book, meaning that there really won't be anything to replace Crusade content in the codexes Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388166-ork-trukk-mek-codex/#findComment-6177469 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I also wouldn't be surprised if it had it and they just omitted it like the rest of the wave or the warboss hat options. I'd also take a quick errata to split the kombi-weapons, though with the fast and loose nature of crucible, and the standardised approach to point costs it'll be fine to handwave anyway.

Silvereyes Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 4 hours ago, Lord Marshal said: Is this new artwork or reused artwork? After the laziness of the 10th edition codices reusing 9th edition cover art, I'm hoping we can get some nice new art for the 11th edition codices. I assume they didn't reveal a codex roadmap? Just Orks first, then Space Marines next? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388166-ork-trukk-mek-codex/#findComment-6177502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Oddity Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I'm getting more and more tempted to cast all my other projects aside and start an Ork army. These new sets are gorgeous, especially that Trukk kit. I really like how they worked in some of the buggy design elements while still keeping the silhouette similar. That Blood Axe head for the Warboss is also amazing. The summer of Waaagh is going to be a good one! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388166-ork-trukk-mek-codex/#findComment-6177532 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Praetorian of Inwit Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 The new Trukk is fantastic. A huge glow up and at least now it will actually fit together properly too. The new Orks are looking fantastic. 01RTB01 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388166-ork-trukk-mek-codex/#findComment-6177582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
