Oh god! oh dear god, that sounds terrible. I mean even the insanely slim eldar 4th ed book had artwork....oh my god!
and who cares about the new FOC,, it hasnt been a limitation for years furthermore this edition is all about pushing unbound, there is no advantage to actually giving orks a new FOC....
edit: This is not entirely correct, the Codex still has various art work throughout, however it has changed the unit entries from unti specific art to pictures of the models, not a bad thing in and of itself, however they maintain the "showcase" section that has pictures of every model, therefore it seems superflous. Not a fan, I would much rather have had more artwork and longer background material. And no apologists that would not mean the codex would cost more, see every other hardback codex for details.
