Precision can only hit characters attached to units, it can’t single out other specific models in the unit

[@Jasha127]

Yeah I was confused by his thoughts there too. You just choose a character leader model.

[@Rejnols]

Jay is a great guy, but his 40K rules/knowledge is very lacking, so don't pay too much attention when he is talking about rules :P

[@zieg0r]

I LOVE the Mike Brooks books. He SO gets the Orks. Ufthak's zzap gun btw is a Shokk Rifle which he ripped off a Shokkjump Dragsta after a pretty wild and orky thing he did in Brutal Kunnin'. Also, it's a Bad Moons character model, and that's enough for me to be happy.😅

[@jasonco2]

So the thing with Kroot is that while most of the models and beasts we’ve gotten so far have been genetic dead-ends of Kroot carnivores, technically that fate is one all Kroot desperately want to AVOID. The farstalker Kinband included a little four eyed bird called a Pech’ra, which wasn’t a Kroot dead-end just a native of Pech (the Kroot homeworld). Now technically everything on Pech has a “Kroot-y” ancestor, but they aren’t like, actual Kroot Carnivores turned into things. This new Kalamandras seems to be of a similar type (notice the hint at a vestigial extra eyes). Personally, I like this new direction GW is taking the Kroot. They still have dead-ends like the Hounds and Krootox, but now they can be supported by fellow Pech natives as well. It opens up more conversion options and lets them have more freedom with what creatures to include. They stated they wanted the new Hounds to look more like carnivores turned into dogs, so I assume this visual distinction between dead-end and Pech native is purposeful.

[@The_Mini_Creative]

If the Orks going get a refresh this year I think the Orks are going to get that refresh as the villain in the 11th edition starter box.

[@ArynCrinn]

What do you mean by "refresh"? Because I really don't see that happening for Orks this year... Jay has clearly missed the part on the Roadmap where the Orks are scheduled for early Spring, following the Dark Angels. The redacted book in the Summer has nothing to do with them. The roadmap also happens to have Orks scheduled for release _before_ T'au, which may seem odd, but generally, the roadmap is based on the full release, rather than the early FOMO box... so we're still likely to see the Ork Codex drop with their new mini/s before the full T'au/Kroot release in another ~2 months time. This reduced timeframe before the new Ork book arrives also happens to be indicative of a smaller release of new minis... which is actually a good thing if they want any chance of being the flagship 11th ed starter set antagonist. Remember, Tyranids got a single model with their 9th ed Codex, about 1 year before 10th edition launched, and had not seen anything else for 5+ years prior. Necrons had seen 2 models in the 5+ years prior to their 9th ed refresh, including the Illuminor Szeras model which came about a month earlier with the 8th ed ending campaign that served to tease the rest of the Necron update... and a total of 4 kits in the entire 7+ years before 9th. GW like to use a new edition to overhaul a faction that has been neglected for a few years... not one that just got a big update 2 years prior. Personally, I still wouldn't like their chances even if they get a single model for 10th... they just got a huge wave of new models in 2021, including new pushfit boyz, which would put them in an awkward position for a new starter set. They'd probably have to opt for mobs of pushfit grots to get the model count up, and include something like pushfit lootas/burnas and nobz.

[@EichelKeseKonsument]

always love it when a new episode comes

[@philurbaniak1811]

👍👍 I'm loving the Ork hype! And I have to say, the big mek/mek boss teaser might imply just a new character/hq choice or even a full new meganobz kit, would be great either way! A new nobz kit would be awesome, especially if it replaced the forge world stuff as a "Nobz Or Tankbusters" kit... And I predict a new sneaking gretchin unit with Precision, can be built as either Infiltrate OR as snipers, and a new gretchin character that makes their Precision shots actually damage stuff. New Looters box is a great suggestion even though I really like the current kit. I wonder if GW will figure out how to print a Loot/Skorch/Nobz/AND Tankbusters kit that perfectly lets you build exactly 3 or 5 guys but _without_ enough parts to actually equip all of them with the FREE wargear they each could have OR the kind of spare bits that could easily be kitbashed onto something else 😩. Still, better than having resin kits eh 😄? My fingers are crossed for more cool stuff 😃!

[@ArynCrinn]

I'm not sure what the official 40K roadmap's redacted Summer codex has so to do with anything here... as the Orks were quite clearly scheduled for early Spring, following the Dark Angels. The redacted book is supposed to be after Orks, Custodes, T'au, CSM, GSC, AND Sisters, so we've likely got a few previews to go before we find out what that book is. In fact, Orks are scheduled for release before T'au, which we can assume will get their full release in ~ 2 months time (2 week pre-orders for the FOMO box next week, and then 2 week pre-orders for the rest around a month after that), so if we don't get a bunch of Ork reveals at next week's Warhammer World Anniversary, I don't really see them waiting another 3 weeks for the all-but-confirmed Adepticon preview. More likely is a single WarCom article to announce their Codex + new Mek boss. If they're lucky, they'll get another wave of new releases during the end of 10th ed, just like the Orruks recently got in AoS 3rd... If they're really lucky, they'll get to be the flagship antagonist for 11th with an absolutely massive wave of new minis.

[@zieg0r]

Also, I think the obscured model could be either Nazdreg or Orkimedes with his Kustom Tellyporta gubbinz.

[@mr..pleasant9298]

Nazdreg is definitely dead unfortunately. Farsight killed him during Arks of Omen. Probably just a proper Mek Boss sculpt/resculpt.

[@danielwright3688]

Nooooooooooo! Hopes and dreams dead

[@garrettmorgan4430]

@3:38 Precision only allows you to apply the wounds to a character model, you cant target basic troopers with special gear unfortunately.

[@AncientWyrm1775]

Flash Gitz with Kaptain Badrukk are an actual good shooting unit. It's the only one Orks can field, but it's a real unit for sure.

[@euansmith3699]

I wonder if someone will bring out a replacement head for this mini that looks like a Krootox?

What if the Calamandra is what the kroot eat to become hounds? Maybe the rider didn't want to transform. He just didn't want to walk?

[@SaytreJudd]

The rule "Big Guns Never Tire" allows monsters and vehicles to shoot into Engagement, but this doesn't override the rules for Blast weapons. So the demolished cannon can shoot, just not at the Mega Armored Nobs that are in engagement with it. Fighting the tank is honestly the safest place for them at that point.

[@worgen65]

Had to go too far to see this. Heard Jay say the Demolisher fired into close combat and INSTANTLY raised an eyebrow. You got cheated out of a tank kill, man!

[@kanechai5909]

While generally true, I think the leman russ w/ demolisher gets a special exception... "Line-breaker: When making ranged attacks with its demolisher battle cannon, this model can target enemy units within Engagement Range of it." This ability is unique to this specific tank and gun, at least in the Russ range. Too many dang exceptions in this game lol

[@worgen65]

Just looked at its datasheet. You are 100% correct. Too many exceptions indeed

[@JoeSmith-oy3hk]

Papa needs a grot detachment.

[@grimjack9139]

Yeah, the new Kroot cav is strange. Like he doesn't fit but he's cool. Though I think a better paint job can make him sing. Also, for orks I really really hope they add more bodyguard options to leaders. I want to make a flash gitz army and take it on a crusade but noooo, only Badrukk can accompany them. It's so frustrating they haven't made generic Kaptins, Stormbosses, and Kommando bosses.

[@ChampstylesTLT]

Maybe the Kroot is saving the Kalamandra for later like for a snack or something

[@EridianX]

The kalamander thing with it's blending ability could make for some pretty funny poorhammer models. Just get a base to fit the right size, but just pin a kroot hovering in the air. And when anyone asks just say "he's camouflaged"

[@johnfuhrman2854]

Is the "Live Studio Audience" actually your cats?

[@facelift.]

You can't shoot the demolisher cannon I to close combat. The special rule just lets you shoot your weapons without the penalty, but it doesn't get rid of the blast restrictions

[@RTRStreams]

Ork has fairly lethal shooting for some units. Example: Flash gitz with kaptin badrukk They get extra attacks against the closest enemy. They get sustained hits, they get re-rolls and they can benefit from heavy. They're okay-ish in melee too. These guys have killed Angron, abaddons retinue, etc. They punch up in shooting way better than many opponents have expected

[@Lordmuhkuh23]

You meant to say "for one unit" because you mentioned the only unit that can do smth in shooting :D

[@scoutjax3202]

The only 2 armies that you could play when the rules came out in white dwarf in 1985. Yes before Rouge trader. Where spacemarines and orks. Just might be why the 2 armies have large ranges of modles. The also where the exact Stat line.

[@ryanwiththesauce]

Jay technically every kit is an ork kit

[@soffren]

Honestly, he should kitbash some space marines to make his nobs look more unique.

[@2TheClone]

I’m sorry has no one noticed on the mystery ork character it clearly has a big mek banner pole?

[@sockylogic2014]

That Kroot and tau have never interested me. However, that Kroot kalimandra rider has jumped army up my list dramatically.

[@The80sWolf_]

I want some military style orks, like a warboss or tankboss, blood axes style

[@Fox01313]

Good to see this vid & excited for possibly seeing more grot stuff, though I'd love for GW to just do an Age of Sigmar to 40k rules conversion for the Age of Sigmar Orks/gretchin/squigs that lets 40k players bring in a bunch of orks & squigs from a wild planet without technology to add to the green tide. What do you think of that addition idea to the Orks??? I love the AoS grots on how much character they have to the sculpts & would love to see more in 40k. Glad you're liking the Drukhari as I've been hooked on them after Masters of the Forge Drukhari episode & definitely look into the Talos kit (so damn good) & the Chronos which is just 50 points!!!! After the first few codex releases, I'm somewhat scared for the Orks & Drukhari as the combat patrol boxes for them are really good and I'm hoping they won't get messed up like the admech CP box.

[@thesurvivor7853]

[@maciejmachowicz9745]

I started collecting Dark Eldar back in 3rd and played till 8th. Had a tons of fun with them, but they're almost always at the bottom tier. Which means they're the army only for the best ;D

[@flipnutdodad8841]

200K congratulations

[@fetalmistake5624]

I hate to break it to you Jay but precision doesn't work like that. You can only target a character that is attached to a unit. And if it has multiple characters you can't even choose wich one as the attacker...

[@SauceBoss98]

Jay, vehicles and monsters in close combat can shoot their blast weapons but it CANNOT be the unit in combat with it! And it should be minus one to hit either way! Also with the Meganobz, did you remember they get Dev wounds on the Waaagh! Turn? And did you spend the 1 CP for 5+ hit explosions? 10 meganobz (with the twin kill sawz) on Waaagh! Turn should kill like a leman Russ 😂

[@ianvader0000]

I want some gretchin snipers, similar to ratling snipers. Please anything but beast snaggas 🙏

[@stephenfgates]

Convinced the wife to start a 40k army. She chose the Orks and started with the Beast Snagga Boyz box. That Blackhawk model looks like a beautiful addition to her Bad Moonz army.

[@Certawin]

Find it interesting that they chose to go the atl atl route with the Kroot. And that rider

When we gonna get some new Death Guard models. Still patiently waiting for their bespoke Kill Team.

[@ArynCrinn]

DG have plenty. Thousand Sons and World Eaters expansions first please (The latter of which don't have a Kill Team at all). :D I'm just teasing you. But seriously, I doubt DG would get more than a Plague Marine upgrade sprue for KT. I'm only expecting character models alongside their next book. Multipart Lord would be much appreciated. Or anything else currently locked behind the Chosen of Mortarion sprue for that matter.

[@cenomnestpasvalide2201]

[@LupusGr3y]

Yeah, Orks have plenty units just like Space Marines, but unlike Space Marines, many of them are ancient kits that need updating.

[@ArynCrinn]

Too bad they're not going to be updated this year.

[@soffren]

Considering how much the community disliked Primaris, I think thats a good thing. They can be updated slowly, and give lots if kitbash opportunities until then.

[@ArynCrinn]

@@soffren The problem with Primaris wasn't that they went and updated stuff in a few big waves... it's the lore and how much they invalidated existing armies. Had it just been like "we're moving to MK IX/X, here's new direct replacements for old models!" people would have been mostly fine with it.

[@PinkPedlz]

[@PattyIce93]

[@chaosof99]

While it is not explicitly stated that the new Kroot has the Lone Operative ability, it is heavily implied. Its named "Lone-Spear" and the article calls the unit a "loner". Also, there is a picture floating around and used not in the article itself but in the links to the article on WarCom, where the Kalamandras is painted in a very lava-like manner of a black back and yellow, red and orange body. Also, this model definitely has to be kitbashed for a Salamanders Chaplain on "Bike". P.S.: Not sure what you were talking about. Orks was announced as a Spring Codex last year when they showed off the roadmap during the Leviathan announcement. It was never a secret. Same with Dark Angels. The image where they hid one of the Codexes was from earlier this year when they announced Adepta Sororitas and Genestealer Cults for summer alongside a "Redacted" faction.

[@jasonco2]

Yeah they painted it similar to a fire-bellied newt/salamander and I dig it.

I know this is my bias towards Snakebites showing but, I'd love to see more Snakebite and Beast Snagga models and more Squig-forms.

[@christopherschwab6525]

With the preponderance of rules where 'LEADER' gives a unit the opportunity to regenerate killed models in 'UNIT,' I'm surprised that hasn't been leveraged or iterated on specifically for the Orks? Would that break the game, a green tide that just never stops? (I was looking for a while myself at the self-healing Tyranid detachment of creepy-crawlies, but the cost in dollars of even 1000 points put me off the idea.) Would it only really be acceptable or non-game breaking if it were just Snotlings or Squigs?
