Orks

Besides declare Waaaagh on the other gaming tables, of course? Bad Orky gorilla jokes aside, recently I decided to set up all my Ork models to take some pictures for the blog and prep for an upcoming Apocalypse game.  As it turns out I have a bunch of models, an embarrassing large amount actually, so many in fact that I […]

I used to really enjoy an old article in Inquest Magazine (published for Magic the Gathering) called Dead Man’s Hand.  You would only have one turn left and you had to kill your opponent that turn, or you lose. They showed you your hand and the battlefield, and you had to come up with the […]

I’m still on the fence about what I’ll be running at Mechanicon this year. So I tried out a Dred Mob army list today out against my Mech Imperial Guard, and it did quite well. Here is what I ran; Big Mek with Kustom Force Field Ghazghkull Thraka 8x Lootas 8x Lootas 19 Grots w/ […]

This is a quick and easy method I use for the white warpaint on my orky vehicles.  The base coat is a foundation color, which is great for going on over the blue paint of the hulls. Now you don’t have to get all fancy and neat and stuff, cause it’s the grots that are […]

Back when I was getting my Orks army together, I decided that I wanted the little guys to have a little character. After all the Orks are a fun and unpredictable army, so why no jazz it up a little bit? Well I have to admit I went a little crazy with these guys. For […]

With the release of Blood Angels I’m trying to tune up my Looted Guard Army. So I’ve added a few more units with the hopes of dashing the advance of the ReD SpAze MaRinZe. I’ve noticed the a big problem with this army in popping masses of Power Armor. I think with the addition of […]

Today I wanted to talk about my Nob Biker squad, and their custom bases. This is kinda of a summary repost from my original three blog posts back in April ’09, but now that I got more followers I want to get some input on them. The best thing you can do to really show […]

Well I’m still brainstorming over the new orks since the drop of the FAQ a few days ago.  I’ve heard good things about burna drive-bys so I thought I’d work up a super aggro list.  While I’m sure it will do fine against mech and marines, long range standoff may be its undoing. Again this […]

I thought I’d celebrate the recent Deff Rolla FAQ ruling with a walkthough of my Supa Battlewagons. When the Ork Battlewagon kit came out I knew I had to have a few. I opened the box up and furiously started assembling it.   When I was done I have to admit I was a little […]

Back a year or so ago I had a pretty good hybrid Battlewagon Nob Biker list going. Of course it worked good till the INAT game out and nerfed it. But now it’s back and with a few tweeks I think still competitive. The main tactic of the army is to either pincer with the […]

Okay so it’s been a few weeks since this happened, but here it is the battle report from my victory at Mechanicon ’09. I was running the Rebel Ork Guard list from last post and pictured here. It appears that some Death Skullz went a little wild looting guard vehicles- they even followed their army […]

Well I just got back from the Mechanicon GT ’09. I ended up taking best overall in 5 grueling games against some very good opponents. The GT was great with a lot of tough missions and amazing terrain. The great Jawaballs was in attendance with his Blood Angels, but unfortunately we did not get a […]

Welcome back true believers! Now that I got my sweet scenic bases it’s time to mount the ladz to them. Of course in the process of matching them up to the bases I realized that they hadn’t been updated with new bits from the Nobz box set, so after a few Mad Dok specials here […]

Well it was a long week, but I managed to get the bases all painted up and the Nobz mounted on them. Here are the bases, all finished up and flocked.  As you can see I trimmed some of the scrap bits down from the original design to make the overall base more streamlined. Some […]

The other day I saw some painted Ork Nob bikers on e-Bay with some pretty sweet converted bases. Seeing how my ladz were conveniently without bases, and therefore less cooler than the models I saw for up auction felt I had to act. The main problem I ran into was that I wanted to have […]
