Looks like New Model Monday is getting replaced by new 40k Orks previews dubbed ‘ere we go!, Check out all the details in the first installment.
While New Model Monday was pretty sweet, Orks are getting some serious love in the month of April. Every week the Greentide will be seeing a new preview on Warhammer Community. While this week, they just highlight more about the Beast Snaggas that we’ve already seen, we assume the next ones will be new minis.
If you love Orks, well, this is great news! Looks like they will be getting the book, hopefully, in May. Let’s get into it!
New 40k Orks Previews from GW
Listen up, boyz. We’z ‘ad sum right strange types appearin’ in da last few days, and I wanna know what they’z doing in my Waaagh! Last time you lot poked around one of them weird ladz, Bogrot’s ‘ead exploded, so this time we’z got sum captive ‘oomies to find out wot they’z up to in a new regular series on the Waaaghammer Comoonity site: ‘Ere we go!
The Beast Snaggas are part of the Snakebite Clan and make use of the biggest mounts they can. They also mention that anyone can use them, because who can’t see the usefulness of giant Orks on Squighogs? Even though they don’t like all the fancy machines of their Speedfreaks cousins, doesn’t mean they don’t like to go fast, the Squighogs are red after all. And, they still add rockets to their spears and some mechanical legs when they need to.
Their appreciation for ‘da old ways’, and their disregard for more complex Orky technology, leads many of the Snakebite clan to become Beast Snaggas, although their ilk can be found across the entire spectrum of Ork society.** Even a no-nonsense Goff can look at a squighog’s shockingly large teeth and figure out how best to apply them to some poor git’s face.

The Beast Snagga boyz themselves are hulking mountains of muscle even by regular Ork standards – spending a lifetime chasing down and grappling with ravenous beasts breeds particularly hardy individuals. Even their Gretchin underlings are a smidge braver than usual,*** as those affectionately dubbed ‘saddlegitz’ hold on for dear life and take whatever swings they can.
We’re not sure if next week will actually focus on other new minis because they do say we’ll see some rules for these riders. But we’re hoping they do show something else soon because we love new minis!
Are you excited about a new Ork book? What do you hope they preview next?
