Warhammer has a wonderfully rowdy reveal pair this time.
Orks get more plastic swagger for the new codex wave. Meanwhile, Necromunda’s Goliaths bring even more industrial meat to the underhive.
Also, both updates lean hard into character, customization, and faction identity. For hobbyists, that is exactly the good stuff.
Ork Nobz and Warbikes Bring More Dakka
Ork players have already seen the new Warboss, Trukk, and Boyz, but the Waaagh is still growing. Now the green tide gets a new Nobz kit and updated Warbikes, which feels like exactly the right follow-up. Nobz are the veteran bruisers of Ork society, bigger and meaner than Boyz after years of surviving endless scrap.
The new kit builds five Nobz with kustom krumpas, covering powered blades, klaws, and heavy bludgeons under one melee profile. However, the appeal is clearly the customization. There is specialist gear, a massive skorcha, and three Grots hauling spare guns and ammunition.
That is perfect Ork modeling energy, because every Nob should look like a walking argument.
Meanwhile, the Warbikes capture the Speed Freek fantasy cleanly. They are loud, fast, covered in detail, and armed with twin dual dakkaguns. Better yet, the Biker Nob straps rokkits onto the guns for drive-by tank hunting. Since Warbikers still love melee, they can slam into combat with choppas after shooting.
The Warbikers arrive with Codex: Orks, while the Nobz follow later. Also, datasheet previews are coming soon, with bigger changes hinted than players might expect. For more details, read the original Warhammer Community Orks article.
House Goliath Gets Brutal New Underhive Reinforcements
House Goliath follows Escher into the new Necromunda edition with a very on-brand release. The Forge Bosses and Sumpkrocs kit brings six miniatures built around brute strength and industrial violence. Front and center is the Forge Tyrant, a huge leader armed with a double-ended chain axe called a renderizer.
That alone screams Goliath, because subtlety was clearly left outside the furnace. The box also represents several other leaders and champions, including Forge Despots, Unborn Docs, Forge Masters, and Goliath Bruisers.
Meanwhile, the two Sumpkrocs add nasty pet muscle, bringing jaw-based problem solving to melee. Rules support comes from Underhive Journal: Goliath, The House of Chains.
It includes background, galleries, and new rules designed for use with Gangs of the Underhive. Also, it adds two gang archetypes. Furnace Brutes specialize in forcefully taking territory from rival houses.
Unborn are outsiders who become Goliath through painful artificial transformation. Finally, campaign tools include Goliath Territories, side jobs, and new Gang Tactics. The models and journal go up for pre-order soon, so new gangs can prepare early. For more details, read the original Warhammer Community Necromunda article.
Summary and Final Thoughts
Overall, these reveals work because they understand their factions. The Ork kits are loud, flexible, and packed with personality. Meanwhile, the Goliath release doubles down on muscle, surgery, pets, and campaign grit. Also, both articles point toward wider support, not isolated models. Orks are heading into Codex season, while Necromunda’s houses are getting deeper journals. That is good news for players who want rules, narrative tools, and display-worthy miniatures together. For collectors and players, that is the best kind of release rhythm.
