feels kinda skaveny, tbh. I might get one for a headswap depending on how the sprue is split up I like it as a mini, but it doesn't seem focused to me for ork weirdboy specifically

The fact that the head is specifically called out as word bearers (and not just a clearly word bearers inspired head included in the generic CSM options) means this seems extremely likely.

most of the character models

weren't the orks in the scouring more elite than the current horde? overall, scouring with xenos could be used as a sort of TOW equivalent, for good and/or bad

the 4th edition chaos codex did in fact happen in 4th edition, so yes. Not at the beginning of 4th, but certainly when updated to 4th point costs and the like.

It'd be interesting if we found out that Yarrick did die and they've done some cloning behind the scenes. It would feel like something Yarrick might order though: "The Orks think I am too stubborn to die, so by the throne, I will be. Make a new one, and get it right this time!"

I like the proportions on the new model, a marked improvement for me over the previous, but keeping all the good stuff the previous one had, it seems.

Really want to see a video of the paint handle in use, because it *looks* terrible, but I wonder if there's some trick to it that isn't going to just stress the plastic to snapping in a few months.

except chaos, of course, who lost those options in 4th

The hive mind psyker is similar to the mindwitch from the dark commune, I wonder if that is convergent evolution or direct inspiration.

Coming soon, Droppod Assault(TM) Paint Pot Upgrade Sets. This multipart metal and plastic kit converts Warhammer Colour(TM) paint pots into dropper bottles. These are ideal for paint longevity, consistency, and mixing accuracy. This kit lets you upgrade up to five Warhammer Colour(TM) paint pots with Dropper Lids and Mixing Balls, and contains 5 plastic and 10 metal components. This metal and plastic kit is not a toy - it is a collectable item and construction should only be undertaken by expert Warhammer hobbyists aged 15 years and over.

I do think the old branding was prettier, but I'm mostly surprised it took this long.

I've got a daemonically infused psyker/psychically infused daemonhost floating out the top of the vehicle, hooked by cabling up to help control the thing as the conventional controls are no longer accessible. The hookup is going to go there.
