Tao Tsê-Mung Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 As someone falling in love with the kitbashing potential of orks thought I’d share this. Suspected as much but confirmed by GW facebook: So new boyz kit is one fewer model, has only one optional special weapon build, and I guarantee they won’t be priced $3 per model like the old kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Okay. This confirms it… The Space Ork army I had been thinking of building (and gathering bitz to do so with) for the past couple of years is now officially a dead project. I had started gathering stuff in late 2019, but held off because of the announcement that new a rank and file Ork Boyz kit was due in the next couple of years. Now it’s here. But you cannot build a complete unit with the box!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Each box makes one Nob, one special weapon, three shootas, and five slugga+choppas. So, if you want a unit with uniformity of load out – which 99.9999% of players will – then you are going to need multiples of this kit and will wind up with a pile of spare Nobs. Two get a legal squad of one Nob, one special, and eight slugga boyz requires two kits. You have a leftover Nob, a leftover special, and six shoota boyz… not quite enough for a unit. If you want thirty-strong squad? Oi vey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tao Tsê-Mung Posted September 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 LOL they also photoshopped their own post from two days ago because it originally showed the new Ork Nob as the free miniature of the month - now the images have all changed to the old kit Nob with a note to make sure we all know it was the Nob's fault not GW.

Tao Tsê-Mung Posted September 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Also just realized the Battlewagon Kit went from $75 + $15 for the upgrade kit to $100 for both . . . Buying in bulk seems to work differently everywhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salty Monkey Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 you can get one box of new boyz, because they are cool looking. then buy used ork boys on Ebay for cheep. and fill up your squads last I looked there were plenty of old school boys up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The battlewagon is only available with the deffrolla upgrade kit now for $10 more than it used to be to buy them separately. Thanks @Salty Monkey yeah I’m not considering these, just wanted other folks to be aware and didn’t get duped. The AoS boyz make great choppa dudez too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
