One last green reveal (probably).

Well, they look great   

 

The burna is giving me Mad Max Fury Road vibes ...

Not as big of a fan of the Nobz as I am most of the other releases for Orks this go around, but I can't put my finger on why

 

Bikes are great though

For me, I like them but I'm not wow'ed. I think they'll look better plonked next to their smaller compatriots rather than on their lonesome. I guess having already seen a few new Nobz hasn't helped either, particularly since the Burna Boy is far and away my favourite.

The Nobz look a bit "Age of Sigmary" if you know what I mean. I don't hate them but they look like conversions. Not in a bad way. Bikez are cool though.

'ERE WE GO! 'ERE WE GO! 'ERE WE GO! WAAAGH!

I can understand how someone saw the  Nobz options and thought it was a kill team release.

The warbikes, glorious. Like others, I'm not overly blown away by the nobz. They're not bad at all, they're good minis. Just didn't have the same "wow" factor I've had from everything else bar the dakkarig and nazdreg.

 

I find it interesting how they give some units like chaos terminators, chosen and now nobz a generic cc weapons profile yet not others. Same with shooting. I'm not aware of shooting units with a "generic" profile. 

 

I also worry that lootas are tootling to legends. Objectively flash gitz cover anti infantry dakka and tankbustas cover anti vehicles/ monster. However, lootas are iconic. Seeing them depart would be quite sad. Here's hoping they've got some in the pipeline.

Since in the article they are saying they won't release with the codex but later that might still be the case

[Mechanicus Tech-Support]

I personally find it quite humorous that ork warbikes look more functional than SM outriders, they actually have ground clearance 

[Captain Idaho]

Yep, smashed all of them. GW have been knocking the Orks out of the park as of late.

Well, they are both great releases to my eyes.

 

Of course, this is an 'evolution' of 10th and I'm interested to see what is happening in the codex.

 

Come back later this week as we take our first look into Codex: Orks to find out how the faction’s datasheets have changed. There’s more than you might think, so don’t miss it!

[redmapa]

Gorgeous models, i have yet to see a single dud in any of these new Ork kits, amazing job GW.

 

it makes the incoming SM release look so lame in comparison considering its going to be nothing but remakes of Primaris marines which weve already seen the direction they are going with the starter box minis and its not like those filled me with excitement.

I would conquer whole nations, build mighty armies and fight wars untold just to have this miniature.

Thankfully you'll be able to buy from local stores or online. The only thing to potentially conquer is the GW webstore in which case your plan may be easier.

You can just buy it. Later.

 

But yeah, these are pretty great, though i wonder if they have the same flexibility in building afforded to them like the boyz.

I think homogenizing shooting is a lot harder than it is to say "These things all slash or stab."

 

Also people are still a bit sideways over the changes to Combi-weapons, which basically did homogenize all of the different variants into a single stat line that most people don't like.

 

"Power weapons" has, on the other hand, been mostly fine.  No one REALLY wants to roll a different die for a power axe v a power sword.

[Evil Eye]

The Skorcha nob is outstanding. The rest are nice sculpts but I think my final verdict depends how kustomizable the kit is. The previous Nobz (which I have a box of) are immensely modular and these do not look to be so. Also sad that they're going with genericized weapon profiles for melee; would have been nice to have the options of the previous kit where you can go for a big gun of some form, a big choppa, or a slugga and choppa or power klaw.

 

The bikes look very nice but again, hoping they aren't too monobuild.

Man that's crazy, I expected to enter this thread with nothing but praise for the Nobz. Different strokes and all that, but this might be my favorite release so far

[Scribe]

Fantastic. One of my great memories was from a unit of nob bikers, but these bikes look amazing.

[torcathmk2]

For me, the Nobz look like more like boyz. The armour plates aren't big enough, the current kit is a much at depicting bigger meaner Orks
