Tyranid Rumors! likely next after Space Marines

[Pat.H]

The Hobbit movie is coming out in December isn't it? It would make sense to release the new Hobbit stuff around then. But yeah Orks coming out in June would suck gargantuan squigoth balls.

I'm probably the minority here, but I don't really think Orks currently fit in 40k. Not from strictly a theme perspective, but a gameplay one. For CC horde armies with shooting support, tyranids and daemons seem to be more suitable and have more diverse unit types. I guess you could argue that Ork vehicles set them apart from the other two, but Dark Eldar seem to be better at fast assaults from transports. It would be nice to see Orks finally get a monsterous creature like the squiggoth in the next codex. With the riptide and wraithknight kits, a giant squiggoth doesn't seem that far fetched. Just my 2 cents

Eh, not really wanting a squiggoth.  I really like the ramshackle engineer feel of orks.  Would rather see the Meka-Dread come over from IA with some rules to make it worth it as a walker.  I guess you could make it a MC....

would rather see the stompa (with cut down rules obviously) added to the codex.  I would love to be able to use that model more.

I'd like to see them get the Righteous Zeal special rule that was in the old Black Templar Codex (make a consolidation move towards the nearest enemy when you take a casualty due to enemy shooting).It's not like they're using it anymore let someone else have it.
