via Juvieus Kaine on Dakka Here's a little bit I was informed of by a friend. He's up in Scotland and good mates with a GW employee and apparently he's had a look at the next Ork codex. In essence, Orks are the next 40k race getting an update. Choppas are going to give +1 strength amended, see 19/3/14 Waaagh! is now old Fleet. So move, run and assault in the same turn. Power Klaws are double strength, AP1 That's what I've heard so far. I can't verify the information since it's word of mouth but so far, his contact has been rather accurate on the more recent releases to date.
