The new Ork Boyz come to pre-order this weekend, so it’s time that we took a look at the huge amount of build options crammed into this awesome kit.
First things first – the Boss Nob. Your extra-large squad leader gets a bunch of options of his own, so you can equip him with a big choppa or a kombi-skorcha and your choice of a kustom choppa or power klaw. He gets four different heads and two boss poles to help him stand out, which is a good thing now that you can have two Nobz in a squad of 20 Boyz and it’d be downright embarrassing for them to turn up looking the same.
Building your Boyz couldn’t be easier, and there’s nine different bodies before even thinking about the arms and heads you want them to have.
All nine Boyz bodies can be used with any of the slugga, choppa or shoota arms. That means you can mix and match between eight left arms, six right arms, and four sets of two-handed shoota arms – and that’s before you get to the special weapons!
You will need to single out who’ll be carrying the burna, big shoota, and rokkit launcha, as their backpacks each only fit on a specific body though.
On top of that, you get 17 different heads, with old-school pointy helmets next to modern goggles and various shapes and sizes in between. The best-looking Boyz yet, without a doubt.
Little cosmetic parts are a great way to add some extra pizzazz to a model, and there’s no shortage of them in this kit either. There’s slung shootas and axes to attach to the backs of your Boyz, as well as a variety of pouches, bandoliers, shoulder pads, and trophies. There’s also three – yes, three – little Squig-y guys to cavort with your Boyz.
If we were talking about the Adeptus Mechanicus, this would be a great place to calculate the exact number of unique combinations you can make with this kit, but… we’re talking about Orks, so we’ll settle with ‘lots’.
We’ve got plenty more to see this week, from a peek at some detachments yesterday to a zoomed-out look at the Codex as a whole, so drop back in soon to see what’s cooking in the upcoming Codex: Orks.
