There was a green one, and a green one and a green one and a green one!

I've liked most of the big kits so far but this one I definitely need to see first hand to judge!

This is awesome. I was really confused when the start collecting box set had orks, but they still don't have a battletome or anything, so looking forward to some more answers... Did someone say orks and orruks are different factions completely? Like stormcats and humans... Analogous to space marine chapters and the regular military humans of 40k? I think it's cool, but at the same time strange that the armies fighting for similar races are so disjoint. Idk!

Also it seemed like they scaled down the size of the armies but scaled up size of individual models and then the price to purchase a full army didn't really change, so the smaller "intro" cost isn't really a smaller into cost... Like the starter packs for 40k are a good price, but it's not even 500 points... So you're going to have a hard time finding people to actually play at your scale, so are you even really "starting" or are you like "pre-starting" ... Same thing I think happening with AoS. The starter packs are cool... But only if they are actually PLAYABLE.

All Orruks are Orcs, but then there's different flavours, such as Ironjawz.

Hope that helps!

It was great when he gave him a kicking in the Storm of Chaos as well (I remember they can't say it never happend)

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[Mr Mystery]

Hmm....

Wonder if we'll be seeing an additional 'Getting Started' set to cover these?

Considering there wasn't one for Stormcast or Fyreslayers, I'd doubt it. For $85, they'd have to have either six models, or offer a steep discount. It'd look bad to have either a very, VERY small force as a Start Collecting! set, and similarly it'd look bad to have a set that had, say, 12 models, and then you realize that's a 50% discount, which makes you have to wonder why they're charging so much in the first place. Neither's ideal for the company.

[Mr Mystery]

True.

But I wonder if we might see 'plus size' ones, perhaps released around Chrimbo

Bright side in the meantime, the Greenskinz box currently gives a cut price kick start, even for those planning largely Ironjawz. Whack on a box or two of Black Orcs, and then one of each of the new sets and you've got a decent sized army.

Is got more pics!

I like the orange one. Painted up as rusty, rather than lacquered could look pretty ace, and really add to the 'scavenged and adapted' look I associate most with Orcs.

Still odd to see Black Orcs as the tiddlers, but then it does make sense that if there's entire tribes of the sods, those we're most used to would be the 'smallest', given their propensity to just get bigger as they get 'arder.

I'd like to see them in a steel colour with rust on. Goff black isn't too bad though.

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

I like the white and dark red one, has a nice tribal feel to it. I also like the black and orange ones too.
