New reinforcements arrive for Orks and Goliath
Orks are back at the centre of the news with a fresh wave of miniatures that mixes veterans, engines, and thoroughly unreasonable amounts of dakka. The new Nobz and the long-awaited Warbikes expand one of the most recognisable ranges in Warhammer 40,000 just as the new Codex: Orks starts to appear on the horizon.
And while the greenskins warm up their engines, House Goliath also gets reinforcements for Necromunda with a new kit of leaders and champions. Two different games, but the same philosophy: if something already works, you can always make it bigger, meaner, and more spectacular.
Nobz are back to dish out the pain
Nobz are Ork veterans who have survived years of fighting and, as you would expect, that has turned them into creatures that are even bigger, tougher, and more dangerous.
The new kit builds five Nobz with plenty of customisation options, equipped with kustom krumpas and all kinds of specialist gear. It also includes three Grots, who get the unenviable job of carrying spare guns and ammunition.
These are exactly the kind of miniatures that work especially well in an Ork collection: they have enough personality to stand out individually, but keep a perfectly recognisable look when they sit alongside the rest of the army.

Full throttle!
The Warbikes that had already flashed by in earlier trailers finally get their official reveal, and they are likely one of the most eye-catching additions of this new Ork era.
Each bike mounts a pair of dual dakkaguns and is packed with details that sell exactly what an Ork motorcycle should: speed, noise, and a worrying lack of brakes.
The Biker Nob piles on even more dakka with strapped-on rokkits, but at the end of the day these bikes still have a very Orky job: shoot on the way in, then finish the job by chopping things up in close combat.
The Warbikers will be available alongside the release of the new Codex: Orks, while the Nobz arrive a little later.

Goliath also scales up their problems
House Goliath in Necromunda is not sitting this one out either, and gets the new Goliath Forge Bosses & Sumpkrocs kit, which includes gang leaders and champions plus a pair of tamed Sumpkrocs, for six miniatures in total.
The undisputed star is the Forge Tyrant, a hulking figure armed with a massive renderizer, though the set can also represent other profiles such as Forge Despots, Unborn Docs, Forge Masters, and Goliath Bruisers.
Alongside the miniatures comes Underhive Journal: Goliath – The House of Chains, a supplement designed to be used with Gangs of the Underhive that expands House Goliath’s options with new gang archetypes, campaign content, territories, and tactics.

Two ways to bring brutality to the table
It is curious that these releases land at almost the same time, because even though they belong to different games, they share a very clear visual philosophy.
Orks lean into speed, dakka, and uncontrolled brutality; Goliath lean into muscle, industrial weapons, and that survivor aesthetic of the Underhive.
And if you collect either faction, it is hard not to spot something that immediately makes you think about adding another miniature to the display case.
Our take
Beyond the official announcement, what draws us to these releases is how they reinforce both factions’ visual and narrative identity without losing an ounce of their essence.
In Warhammer 40,000, the new Nobz and Warbikes overflow with personality. Miniatures like the Nob carrying two combi-weapons at once, or that giant two-handed chain axe, sell exactly what a veteran Ork should be: a big brute, hardened by a thousand fights, and obsessed with packing the noisiest kit possible.
In Necromunda, the appeal is pure atmosphere. Goliath do not just get industrial muscle and heavy weaponry; the inclusion of tamed Sumpkrocs adds an organic, brutal edge. Every miniature feels like it has its own survival story built on extreme surgery and mutant fauna, which is ultimately what makes Necromunda such a narratively unbeatable game.
