I mean, just look at the comments. People were complaining that the new Ork codex will not solve the -1 or -2 to hit modifiers that destroy Orks, people were complaining about there not being any Warboss on bike, etc. To be fair...well, the rumors did say there was no Warboss on bike and they were going off what they knew. That said...a lot of the reactions were over the top and some comments were certainly overboard. I mean, if you want to quit the game just because Games Workshop didn't give you a Warboss on a bike in the new codex, then I think you have a lot more problems than your converted Warboss on a bike.
Anyway, Warhammer Community has the news here about reveals from NOVA, and Ork players have a lot of reasons to be excited about!
Now people can finally stop complaining about how Orks are screwed over by negative modifiers to shoot, or how Orks will never be able to hit anything with negative modifiers such as Eldar Rangers. Yeah, you can. Any unmodified hit roll of a 6 counts as a hit. So yeah. Quit your whining and don't jump into conclusions about how terrible the codex will be just because you think it won't fix the negative modifiers to shooting (yes, some people actually made those comments).
No Warboss on bike? No worries. You now have a Warboss on Deffkilla Wartrike, a new unit that allows you to run a VEHICLE HQ. So if you want to run an all-vehicle list like Imperial Guard (our spearhead detachments of Leman Russ tanks, for example), you can! Granted, the people complaining about this could only go off the rumors that someone else posted about no Warbosses on bikes, and technically he was correct, so I can't blame them here.
It's not all Orks, though. We have a beta codex for Adepta Sororitas in Chapter Approved 2018! Bring it, Sisters of Battle players! I'll challenge you with my Thousand Sons! Or Imperial Guard! Or whatever you want!
And lastly, the news that impacts me and this blog the most. IMPERIAL KNIGHTS.
They're finally releasing Sir Hekhtur and the Knight Preceptor in September! So watch out for it! Furthermore, the new Knight kit will cost the same as the current existing Knight kit, so you don't have to worry about Games Workshop being "money-grabbing bastards" that many commenters seem to accuse them of.
Oh, and we're getting a new Knight transfer sheet that will include House Griffith. Cool!
Anyway, I'll let you know when I get more news regarding Knights or whatever. Sadly enough, there's still no news regarding Adeptus Mechanicus getting Mechanicum units in Imperial Armor: Fires of Cyraxus. I guess we'll have to give up on that.
