Just to prove to all those nay sayers that the Ork codex really is printed, here is a pic of the one they brought. Very nice codex, lots of pics, lots of fluff and no pictures of the developers inside.
I don't think the internet has seen a picture of the back cover before.
Three sprue shots. I believe these are for the lootas.
I was talking with Jeremy Vetock, head of the GW design studio, about the ork codex. He reaches behind the counter and pulls out his army case and procedes to set down several of the resin test models from is own personal army. He said to warn everyone that they are not Heavy Metal quality. Either way, they look good to me. I plan to add some squig Bombs to my army as soon as I can.As always, double click on any picture to see a larger version. I'll have more info about the tournament itself posted soon.
Hmmm that third sprue picture is Lootas you say?... but the second photo down (middle, if you prefer) looked more like Lootas with the vast multitude of castaway weapons and those bulky torso frames that they hold the guns with.
It seems like you can't discern many details about what's actually _on_ that 3rd sprue from the back angle...
Anyway this photo collection is fabulous, keep up the top-notch reporting!
Well Jeremy Vetock is a very nice chap and has a very important job in the Studio but he does not 'head' it. He is a senior Games Developer/Writer/Project Manager or somesuch! I think he is in charge of the writers. Other guys run the sculptors and artists and the overall Studio Management is done by a terrific bloke by the name of Max Bottril - who has the final sayso on all Studio work.
Cioa!
FINALLY a scale shot of the new Trukk! Its HUGE! It looks to be as tall as a Russ and just as long! I can't wait!
