Orks are hot on the heels of 7th, (so June), and we have yet another source talking about kits that are jiving with stuff we've heard of late:
Look for the following:

• A new Ork Boys box triple-combo kit covering: Tank-Bustas, Kommandos, Flashgitz BUSTED!
• Buggie Combo kit (making the existing buggy and a new unknown kit) BUSTED!
• Mega-nobz Combo kit (making the existing Mega-nobz and a new unknown kit) HALFWAY BUSTED!
• Kopta Combo kit (making the existing Kopta and a new unknown kit) BUSTED!
• Stompa is said to included in the codex as a Lord of War FACT!!!

SQUIGGLES!!!

He's here!!!Squiggles in all his beauty.

Just cleaning my teef with a bug!

Strength D

LOL

Squiggles incoming...

Well, I finally pulled the trigger. After two years of saving and having real life tap the account, I have finally hit the checkout button and ordered the bad boy himself...

The Gargantuan Squiggoth

aka "Squiggles"

This is the most exciting purchase I have made in my 40k life by far. I knew there would come a day when I had one of everything from the GW site in regards to Orks and that day is finally here. What better way to celebrate than to make a big Forgeworld order?! 

I always know when it was time to hunker down and collect Forgeworld that I would start with the pinnacle for Orks. I never wanted to start small and constantly wish and dream of owning the big'un. I have to say it's rather satisfying to know that for the most part, everything from here on out will be slightly cheaper.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!

Nooz & Roomaz! - New Ork Codex Rumors

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.

Nooz & Roomaz! - New Ork Codex Cover?

Could Fantasy Flight Games' Only War: Enemies of the Imperium cover, designed by Imaginary FS Pte Ltd, well be the same art for the new Ork Codex? It's not out of the realm of possibility. 

Fantasy Flight has used GW codex art in several of their RPG supplements so it's possible we could see some of the Only War originals in future codices. The art is eerily similar in style to all of the 6th edition codices thus far. 

While I really hope this is the one, we'll just have to wait and see :)
