Default Ork starter



Orks
Large Ork Warboss armed with a twin-linked shoota and holding his power klaw out to the side pointing.
20 Ork boyz with two big shootas.
5 large Nobs armed with slugga & choppa.
3 Deff Koptas like the one depicted in the ork codex.
Nice detai for snap-in models overall
I think they are 60-65 US for the box. There are ultramarines too, but I could care less, lol. Notice too the picture has models not in the set because its depicting how to build up to a full force.

No they are boys. Well, maybe grots. This info was MSNed by a fairly reliable fellow gamer so I can only pass it on. I hope its real. I know - the pic is blurry. But it is all I have - call it a taste and do not ask questions.

Okay more info. There is indeed a mini rulebook in the box set with all the rules. The models are apparently pretty detailed for a snap together model. Those are grots. The page scanned is from the 'expand your forces' page and those are the new plastic grots which he says look very good. The picture is from a book showing what is coming out in July? It is a marine/ork starter set with almost 300 dollars worth of models at current prices. There are terminators and what not for marines.

I cannot get any more info for now. That's all I know. I heard the same info and more is now posted on Warseer somewhere with an identical picture and more info. I'm guessing the pic is from a camera phone and taken quietly but who knows.

bebe, I'm on Warseer right now to verify.

If bebe's info is correct than it kills the nob squad rumour, as well as slightly tweaking the loadout on the squads(rumour I heard was BS RL, I like bebe's loadout more).

Koptas are lookin' ace, heard several rumours on their loadouts though. I'm not seeing any long barrels in the blurry pic, so I'm assuming this is our counter to the dread(which look excellent by the way).

I think whatever's above that white line in in the starter, not from Warseer but it's a guess.

More pics at Howie's post here: http://warseer.com/forums/showthread...136212&page=38

Consider moving this to rumours?

so what your saying is that oven cleaner can remove paint from plastic models? and after that, you take a toothbrush to your plastic model, and the paint just comes off?

It is their way of making sure that people will still buy the higher detailed (and more expensive) versions of the units that are provided in the box. If these were not snapfit they would never again sell an individual box especially for things like the Terminators which are almost as expensive as the starter set alone.
