The truck returns as a completely revamped kit with immense customization potential, numerous weapon options, and details. You can install a claw, a circular saw, replace big shootas with rocket launchers, attach a spiky ram or a bulldozer blade. There's also the option to position the front axles differently to tilt the entire chassis.
You'll be able to acquire a Mek capable of repairing vehicles and giving them a +1 to hit rolls. You'll also be able to purchase a Warboss with 16 different head assembly combinations.
The "Codex: Orks" introduces a new take on the classic "Waaagh!" rule – units receive various bonuses when they are riled up. The book features no less than 15 detachments that can be combined. Additionally, the edition is filled with painting tips, artwork, faction history, and details about Ork culture, their main battlefields, and more.
You'll be able to access detailed information about all faction units thanks to the return of bestiary-style descriptions. The codex contains a code that not only unlocks the rules from the book in the Warhammer 40,000 App but also provides access to quarterly rules and lore updates throughout the edition.
As each new codex is released, these factions will also receive ongoing support through the app, including additional detachments and other rules.
Veterans of the Armageddon starter set will receive separate releases, allowing users to add more Weirdboyz, Dakkajets, Battlewagons, and other units to their expanding army. The Bigboss, Standard Bearer, and Painboy with Grot Orderly will be released together as part of the Armageddon Kommand Krew set, while all others will receive their own separate boxes.
In addition to all this, a new command set will be available for purchase. It contains 94 convenient reference cards (for detachments, stratagems, and enhancements) and numerous double-sided tokens for tracking important statuses, such as characteristic penalties from unit rules. Players will also be delighted with new Ork-themed dice.
