Damn. Now that was a bit of a disappointment. After the last few minis that I have really liked, I expected quite a lot from the future pictures.
I hate the Guard Heavy weapon emplacements. Almost as much as the new WarHound, which is better now that it is painted but not good enough for me to go out and actually buy one.
The Ork Battlefortress is great.
Will the Basilisk replace the existing one, or be an addiitonal model? I only ask as I dont like the new one, and I want to keep the existing ones in my forces. The armoured compartment is all well and good for battle, but it makes the mini more boring.
The Vanquisher is good, but the Ork truks look very small.
Just my passing comments.

Jimbo and gang,
How do I look at the new photos?
I didn't find the weapons empacement, closed cab Basilisk, etc.
Please send me a URL!
I must say that so far I'm terribly impressed with most of the new miniatures.
I like Jimbo's Deth Kopta better!
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Urk. What is that hoof-ridden thing pretending to be a Warhound? I sure hope they dont decide to redo the Warlord like that.
The Guard emplacement do look like something out of anime. I suppose that could be the paint though.
The Ork stuff all looks cool, and if I had an Orky army( aside from a wreck battlewagon that my Warhound is stepping on  I would buy loads of them.
The Basilisk is okay, kinda funny looking tho. Can't quite put my finger on it.
my 2cents

The Basilisk like all IG armor looks like W.W.II German AFVs.
The sculptors are definitely looking at W.W.II tanks for inspiration.
I think that the Nashhorn is the vehicles I'm thinking of.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Ahem... Leman Russ IMO looks more like a MkIV with a turret than a WWII tank. I once tried to make it look more WWII vintage by drawing a Russ based on CharB1 but I never got around scratchbuilding it. 
Then I hit upon an interesting idea: since all Imperial tanks are supposed to be from standard templates why not base it on the best looking Imperial tank (Baneblade)? A mini-baneblade would IMO be _really_ nice looking... Now, if only somebody with good skulpting skills would take the hint and produce one... Seekermeng

Remember the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade?
The tank they race in is very similar to those old-model Leman Russes...
Some quite nice miniatures on the Specialist pages. And many not quite so.
Warhound, Battlefortress and Deth Kopta I like. The IG weapon emplacements look as corny as they look in WH40K. Those troopers sure have A LOT of extra energy to carry those sandbags with them everywhere they go...And I'm rather divided about that Vanquisher and enclosed Basilisk. Is it just me or does that Basilisk's barrel look a bit...unfinished?

The trukks look small, but ok for a transport that only carrys 10 boyz. The battlefortress definately doesn't look like it could carry 40 boyz. I think Jervis was right orginally in having it desgined as a battlewagon that carried 20 boyz. I wish he hadn't changed it to a warengine :\
