More Sneaky Greenskinz Stormin’ Outta Warhammer 40k!
June 24, 2014 by brennon
With the codex on its way there are still more Orks willing to join the Waaaagh! and serve under the banner of your chosen Warboss. Grot Orderly have dug up some more White Dwarf images from Games Workshop showing off what's to come in the next wave of releases...
We'll start things off with a look at the cover for the Waaagh! Ghazghkull Supplement which obviously allows you to field an army themed around this rather notorious Ork Warboss. He has fought many battles and indeed has his one good eye still set on Armageddon no doubt so if you fancy fighting with his boyz this could be the place to start.
Then we get to more characters. It looks like one of the new HQ choices is going to be this Big Mek in Mega Armour with not one, not two, but three shoulder mounted weapons. He's also got an arm filled with guns and a big clamp for...clamping? It also looks to come with that awesome little Grot Oiler so he isn't so squeaky on the battlefield.
The vibrant toxic yelloe theme continues while looking at another pair of sets for the Orks. You have the Trukk Boyz and this massive Deff Rolla Battlewagon with many turrets atop it for a lot more needed dakka. What ever happened to Orks thinking that things went faster when they were painted red or is that just the Speed Freakz?
There was also a much more high quality look at a pair of Meganobz with their nasty claws and probably entirely unneeded ranged weapons. I am a firm believer in making your Ork army charge into combat and do the killing there rather than from afar. It's clearly the only way to play greenskins. Well, I guess my past Warboss leaders would say otherwise but that's just the luck of the Gods! Gork and Mork don't favour the sissy!
Have you been convinced back into the world of greenskins?

The paint jobs on the Meganobs let them seem very bland.
The Meganobz look like scratchbuilds.
I like meganob mek option I was waiting for it for long time i hope he can wear force field, maybe suplement will be included in white dwarf.
I am liking the big mek mega armour more with the face guard on. This as an aside to Ghazkull and a couple of Meganobs squads could be really fun.
Ripley wants her power loader back…
The Orks looted it fair and square!
I can’t believe they didn’t take the opportunity to redesign the Mega Nobz. I’ve always thought they looked crap to be honest.
Horrible .. just horrible
Meh, nothing imaginative here and the big mek looks god awful.
I’ve pretty much lost all faith in GW at this point, which sad to say considering they got me into the hobby some 11 years ago at the age of 8- I guess I’ll just continue backing exciting ranges on KS instead.
hmm GW has lost a lot of painting talent lately ! Most of the new models are not as stunning as they used to be at the golden age of eavy metal team…
At first glance i could not believe that these are really models from GW. They look truly awful…
Kromlech’s Juggernaut Mecha-Armour Squad to the rescue!
Wheres all the chipping, these guys must have just painted their gear…..
And whats with the yellow, not a very orky colour!!!!!!
It is the colour of bad moons and is use to show wealth.
Meganobz and mek are very bleeeh. Still mailboxes with orks in them.
Most of the release has been soso, the flash gitz the highlight.
But, and this is a huge but, the cost of all of it is so astronomically high, that i wont touch any of it with a 10′ pole.
Poor GW, still thinking they are a premium brand
#paycrap #getcrap paintjob
DS offers fully painted army boxes with basicaly the same or more playable content than some of the 200 pound one click collections .. good jolly luck in the near future GW, that is all
hmm… the Bad Moon yellow paint scheme might not be doing them any favors,
I saw some of them recently in Evil Sunz red / yellow that looked a lot better
should still be able to find the pics somewhere
found the pics again, look on golden-throne .com
The Big Mek in Mega Armour looks much better than the Meganobs yet I am to believe they are the same model from the same kit. We really will have to wait and see with these models. What options do they have to add character to them etc?
Wouldn’t hold my breath though.
I like them – the all yellow paint job probably isn’t doing them any favours. The pics on Golden Throne make them look a lot better.
In terms of price, while cheaper would be nicer they are in line/if not cheaper than rivals – Kromlech’s Orcs (while stunning) are around £34 for 3 based on the current exchange rate and don’t come in plastic and miss the Grot oiler (thought as i don’t play orks i don’t know if anyone would care about this).
And it was all yelloooow…
Paint jobs should look crappier so as not to intimidate newcomers. How many people don’t even try to paint because they can “never make it look like the pictures?”
Then you put out your advanced and master painting technique books for those who want stuff beyond “normal” or to admire photos or something.
Ok, mediocre paint jobs won’t sell product… there’s just no winning, really.
This is deja vu – same sort of stuff as before, reviving an older style paintjob, and hiking up the prices.
Waaagh Humbug.
I think the problem with the paint job is that it is just to ‘clean’ for Orks.
And as we have seen with other 40K releases, the models underneath a poor colour scheme (scions for instance) are often quite nice. Grunged up and painted as Goffs perhaps they would look a lot better, the yellow was just a poor choice, given its one of the more difficult colours to paint well AND photograph well without losing detail.
Not a big fan of the new models, and as several people have said – the yellow is just wrong. I have a few Bad Moons in my greenskin horde, but they’re mostly in black and navy blue with a shoulder pads and helmets in (very heavily chipped and rusted) yellow. They look sufficiently Bad Moon-y, but gritty and orkish at the same time. These paint jobs just look terrible. I don’t get these Codex supplements, either. Why can’t the rules just be included in the one overpriced book, instead of released in several separate ones? GW seriously needs to… Read more »
One thing that I think is a bit off putting is a supplement within a week of the codex is a bit iffy.
I am reserving judgement on the models until i’ve seen some different versions. I think the bright yellow isn’t a good choice for showcasing your models.
