Baltimore GT, Day 2: News and Rumors

Between our interview with Jeremy Vetock and the official presentation, we managed to get a few good rumors.The orks will definitely be getting new vehicles other than the truck. He wouldn’t say how many or which ones. My guess is a battlewagon and buggies/tracks.
Apoc datasheets will be released periodically (next is Nov 10 or 12) and new codices will receive the lion’s share. A few that he mentioned for the orks are pulsa rockets and shokk attack gun formations (“don’t cross the streams!”)
The exact contents of the 2 new ork box deals were officially released. Neither one of them mentioned containing the codex.
There will be a stormboyz upgrade pack. It contains the bits to turn 5 normal boyz into stormboyz. There is also a pack containing only ork glyphs. Good for customizing those vehicles.
Other rumors are that the Dark Eldar and coming up (no brainer) and space wolves would come sometime after them. Necrons and Inquisition are being talked about, but are still a ways off.
There is a clock in GW headquarters called the Squat Clock. It is set to 12 hours. When it reached zero, work on the squats will begin. Unfortunately, every time someone in the world mentions the word Squat, it gets reset. So far, the closest it has come to zero is 11:59:57.
There are plans to release a scenario book containing many new missions to play.
He did not tell us the about the new CityFight style book, but he did say we were close when asking about drop troops and ship boardings.
Also, plastic drop pods are on the way.

I wonder what they're going to do about the deth kopta...

yeah me to, re-release the old one or make a new one? or maybe they will follow the old ork codex fashion and make a bunch of units without matching them up with models.

The deth kopta sounds like a good candidate for the second wave of releases, as are the following:

Plastic Big Boss kit,
Stompa Gargant,
Buggy/modular vehicle kit/looted wagon/battlewagon
plastic grots
flash gits? (updated codex entry but no models in first wave should be a strong hint that this will be a second wave figure)
Can anyone think of any other second wave potentials?

The Squat clock, wow... so it's an army that someone in the world mentions every three seconds or less, but God knows we don't want to give our customers what they want?

Yeah. Just... wow.

That's not a joke. That's a documentary right there.

Besides, the Demiurg will replace the squats someday.

No, John, you ARE the Demiurg.

And then John was a Squat.

Demiurg are NOT Squats!

...and all of these Squat mentions are resetting that clock! (Ha!)
