Lol! Jokaero is so AWESOME! I’m so going to get it. And I’m playing Orks!
Bring on the monkey! The little poo flinger can take down a tank, what more do you need?
houldn’t he be a Librarian?
sorry my bad.
That’s Discworld! lol
actually the first thing i though when I saw this was “OoK!”.
You arnt the only one.
Ribcully for chaptermaster. how does the song go “A WIZARDS STAFF HAS A NEMESIS BLADE ON THE END”
isnt Discworld great
Oh I cant wait to see what people are going to come up with for monkey stand-in’s.
Banana dropships anyone ^^
I’m finally happy that I would be able to have my favorite animal as a GW miniature! YES! 🙂
Jokaero are an old school GW race, Rogue Trader old. Their last notable appearance was the Jokaero digiweapon in the Inquisitor rulebook, back in 2001. Nice to see them coming out of the darkness again, I really need to get myself a look at these henchmen options.
Wasn’t expecting to see a space monkey, but I like the figure. Might pick one up when it comes out just to paint it.
Sum one at G.W must be a “Captain Simian & the Space Monkeys” Fan! 😀

I just had an epileptic attack thanks to your vid
The Jokaero as a known 40k race are years older than that mid-90s show. They even had a model back in Rogue Trader days.

Discworld related
Being an ape, he is known for his violent reaction to most people calling him a “monkey.”
An ape figure is an interseting idea and somehow doesnt feel 40k even though it really is
Im pleased to see that GW have took the bold step to sculpt their first take on an alien race thats been around since early ‘Rogue Trader’ books. However…. IT IS UTTER UTTER GARBAGE AND ANOTHER TOTALLY MISSED OPPORTUNITY. This has got to be one of the worst GW sulpt i have ever seen im all my years of following this company. Its just far too cartoon like! I mean come on! It looks like the kind of monkey Dora the Explorer would hang with! GW either get it really right or completely and utterly wrong these days and this… Read more »
Worst sculpt GW ever made? You obviously missed this one:

@ hysteric ….Nah that ones cool! Its wacky, crazy and fits in with the chaotic and fun world of Blood Bowl. The Jokaero model is just lazy. A sloppy attempt given very little thought whatsoever. By no means the worst sculpt ever by GW but considering the quality of their new releases it is utter garbage.
So anyone like Castellan Crowe? I think hes quite cool, although the fluff justifies his daemon sword its a bit iffy in my opinion. I think the Jokaero is just alright not particularly swayed or particularly hating it really.
The Jokaero is a great model, firstly because it’s look steps out of the same old “grim dark” 40k, and secondly because It draws on a lot of fun subtle things. I like the long spindly tubes on its hand, probably some technological interface device such as the Nanoprobe injectors that the Borg had in Star Trek. I also like the big black eyes, akin to that of alien Grey’s. Not sure what is going on with all the “cyborg” bits but thats good, we humans do not understand the Jokaero’s grasp of technology. Also I am old and remember… Read more »
i like the monkey. i am actually gonna drop the cash just to use it as a chooser of the slain… “Oooahh ooah ooah Jokaero choose you!!!”
Seriously… a monkey working for grey knights?
The Emperor must be feeling the buget cuts too!
Right lads no more terminator armour or anything like that its too expensive, in these hard times instead we have monkeys!
r&d has specified that these space monkeys are available for deployment with all the emperors marine legions…except the imperial fist chapter as the yellow armour confuses the monkeys sending them into a hunger fuelled rage. The loss of fingers seems to be counter productive…..
foolish mon’kei
OK Tecno apes in the Grim dark 40k universe. Really ? Really?
Why don’t they just make a verity of Mr Bean minis with bolt pistols and throw in some loony toons characters for good measure and call it a day.
(No offenses to Rowan Atkinson Black Adder was brilliant Mr Bean, not so much)
