Now let’s check out all of the models!

Kill Rig

Kill RigWe’ve heard rumours of giant war machines, and now the Kill Rig is bursting onto the front lines.

Bursting into the front lines is right! That squig is CHONKY. Clearly, it’s got the muscles to back up the size of pulling a loading trailer twice its size! It would definitely be unfortunate to be in front of this squig.

Kill Rig detailsTowed by a mountainous tramplasquig and home to a wide-eyed Wurrboy, the Kill Rig is a true engine of destruction that ploughs through infantry and vehicles alike.

They also gave a hint at a special rule by powering up the psyker’s powers who ride on top. This could potentially be pretty important depending on how good some of the spells are and if you just need that one super psyker to shine.

Hunta Rig

Hunta RigDespite their reverence for the oracular nature of the Wurrboys, certain Beast Snaggas are loath to have such a volatile creature riding with them. Instead, they fit extra decks and grab handles to transport hollering mobs of their clanmates into battle, transforming their vehicle into a Hunta Rig.

While this might be more or less expensive, it is definitely the same kit, meaning it will hopefully make for an interesting list and hobby decision on which to build! Mobile weapon platforms tend to be better all-round but sometimes a powered-up character can really turn the tables!

Beastboss

When enough Beast Snaggas come together to form an army of their own, or at least assert dominance over mobs of ‘lesser’ Boyz, they are led into battle by a hulking Beastboss. 

Of course with this new sub-faction, a new Boss needs to lead them! We expected this guy and it’s great he looks so good to hype up the new themes in the faction.

Decked in the spoils of their greatest kills and rippling with muscle, scar tissue, and bad attitude, Beastbosses lead from the front lines and look for the biggest, meanest prey they can find to bring down with their klaws.

Gargant Head Kommand Center

Taking the severed head of a Gargant as their boss hut is not only a symbol of status, it also provides a convenient forward command centre from which to yell at the Boyz.

While there are clearly tons of firepower on this head, the special rules are a little more of a mystery. Perhaps it’s just a large aura boost, or maybe it’s adding brand new abilities to the boss? we will have to wait and see!

Mozgrod Skragbad and Big Chompa

Mozgrod Skragbad and Big ChompaMeanwhile, tales of the Great White Squig and its legendarily stubborn rider are rife among the Beast Snagga tribes, who revere Mozgrod Skragbad as the toughest in the entire sector. 

When you ride something as mythical as the Great White Squigg, you are basically an Ork Primarch, but maybe Ghazgkull will still reign king as the biggest and baddest Ork.

Mozgrod Skragbad and Big Chompa detailsWhile he’s fully capable of commanding his Beast Snagga underlings like any Beastboss, Mozrog’s no-nonsense approach makes him an especially good spearhead for a massed charge of Squighog Boyz.

Power level aside, this is sure to be a hard-hitting machine that loves to charge into melee combat. It also looks like it might be a great center beast for a Beast Snagga force.

Beastboss on Squigosaur

Beastboss on SquigosaurIf you aren’t leading a Snakebite horde, but still fancy barrelling your boss head-first into the enemy atop a monstrous squig, this kit can also build a Beastboss on Squigosaur.

On the other hand, you can go for a more vanilla boss, on top of a giant squig of course. At the very least he is bound to be a little cheaper on the points side.

Boyz

BoyzOf course, no matter how many shiny rigs and vicious squigs you might bring along, a Waaagh! just isn’t complete without green seas of Boyz.

Boyz needed a new kit for a while, and with them needed in so many lists, in such large quantities, this update changes the look of an entire army old and new alike.

Boyz 2Eagle-eyed readers may have spotted a few unfamiliar faces on the back of the Gaunt’s Ghosts box, and the new Boyz on the block are finally ready for their day in the sun.

These new poses look fantastic and those rounds ejecting add an extremely dynamic pose selection.

Boyz 3

The top left boy we saw earlier, but now with all these extra models, we can see just the scale of this new update!

MekBoyz on Deffkoptas

MekBoyz on DeffkoptasLast but not least, a group of enterprising Mekboyz have been working day and night and are at long last proud to unveil their mighty new Deffkoptas.

Other than looking awesome, these seem to be stacked with missiles and clearly, the Mekboyz want to use their choppas. Giving hints about ranged and melee capabilities.

MekBoyz on Deffkoptas 2Hideously dangerous even by the standards of ordinarily ramshackle Ork vehicles, the sheer noise and speed they can achieve makes them popular among the most daring Boyz.
