can't wait to find out how mediocre the codex is so everyone can scream about it being awful, it's the best part of the new releases. for real though i'm excited to see what those relics do.

It's almost as good as the White Knight brigade that immediately follows up and tries to spin every lovely rule or bad idea as awesome and innovative!

Stealth for Kommandos seems pretty nice. It doesn't look like anything else in there will affect my kill team.

This is pretty much the last thing I am paying attention to for GW. If they gently caress up the Ork codex I will probably sell off most of my stuff.

Im curious to see if there's an unusual amount of cancelled preorders/new preorders from the leak. If the rules are good and more people do it GW might have a reason to show new rules earlier

Killa Kans available in Squadrons of 6 is pretty sweet, have to say but apparently no way to make it so you get more of them in like Troops or anything. It's really looking like the Ork Codex was written with 7th editions changes in FOC directly in mind as Waz is a LOW which just sucks hard for Ork players. Boarding planks are pretty sweet. Apparently Wazdakka is not in fact in the book. Which i think is really loving weird. Then again.. does he have a model?

They have to save something for the dlc. I imagine dataslates Speed Freakz, Bad Moonz and Blood Axes will be announced in the coming weeks. Nothing about 'ard boyz? I have a bunch of old 2nd ed mega nobz I have to use for something. Macdeo Lurjtux fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Jun 20, 2014 |

It would be more wacky and interesting if it was like 1 - Orks Fall Back 2 - Orks immediately charge forward 3 - If greater than 10 the Mob ignores the failed LD test. Just kind of a boring chart. I don't mind random charts but at least try and make them some what interesting. The Orks have pretty much been relegated to no longer really being that humorous and are more serious now which kind of sucks a little bit.

gently caress that no Foot of Gork/Mork. That looks like a rather boring selection of Psychic Powers. I must have missed the part of the entire backstory of Orks summoning Daemons, possessed by them yes, but just opening up Warp Rifts so daemons can come through. Yep. I'm really hoping the Da Krunch is a vortex like power. Hollismason fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Jun 20, 2014 |

I wish I could find the old image of a Ork growing. I think it was in White Dwarf. Always find it funny that their fungus. Also isn't the Dialect or "Orkish" supposed to be ebonically some weird British Accent? edit: Oh the Blacklibrary apparently keeps loving things up it just went up for sale again and more people grabbed it.

Orks can turn to Chaos, I think the best bit of backstory for Orks is that there is a group of Orks that literally invaded the Eye of Terror and Khorne was so impressed that even though they slaughtered them they get revived every day to fight the battle again. So It's basically Ork Heaven. Edit: Wow KFF got a huge nerf, now it's just the vehicle itself no more extension and its to "models" not units. You cannot take Warbikes as troops O_o.

Isn't part of the charm of Gork and Mork that there's no discernible difference between the two, and noone can decide which one is the kunnin one? Declaring them one way and then stating Gork is the war god and the popular one takes some of the fun out of it surely

There have been some point reductions in the Codex but overall it seems like they just gutted two of the most popular armies and left it laying dying in a filthy gutter for children to find and be scarred for life. Basically the old school, here's a poo poo load of Killa Kans or here's a Shitload of bikers is just gone. There is nothing in the book so far that makes certain listings Troop Choices, like there was previously. Oh and the only unit that doesn't take up a HQ slot is a Mek. Painboys take up HQs so there's this huge competition now for HQ slot and the H. Support slots. Oh and the Battlewagon got more expensive. Sounds like it got the Tyranid treatment and not the Imperial Guard treatment.

KFF getting that nerf is a big deal. I play someone who that is all he loving uses. His whole army is like garbage now as he used Bikes as troops and Dreads and Cans. edit: Red pain job now just adds +1 to Flat out moves.

I can't believe how bad Ramshackle got nerfed. Trukks were already kind of bad, what with 12-man squads in the age of Overwatch and the loss of Initiative Boosting Furious Charge.

Plus Orks have no ability to manipulate the FOC now. edit: If you want to buy the Ork Codex right now you just hit refresh and for whatever reason eventually it'll let you just buy it. What the hell. I'm sure it'll get fixed but yeah. Occasionally it will give you the option to buy it right now. More people have purchased it.

Don't worry guys, we will have to buy the new ork codex, then in two months we will get the DLC codex that fix everything for the different clans so you will have to buy two books instead of one. Genius!
