I's fixin' to shut yur gobs about me and the Mek lootin this n that from the pewny 'umees and the skinny 'ard boys what's no fun to krump since they's just get back up again and melt yous lot with their glowy dakka... that I've prorkrastin... percrastorka.. Uh... Been preorkupied on for years. So this time yous lots gonna be 'appy if you know what's good for us... It is the Orks' turn.




Dug out of my bits n spru pile the start collecting orks I started messing with a few years ago...

After the painboy and the lads. I'll be working on the NOBS but my crazy self might fully magnetize them... Oi.


I need to find a missing spru for the deff dread. I'm sure it's exactly where I think it is... About a 40minute drive from here... Lol.

Feeling very torn between Shootas and Choppas... Rule of cool applies.

I choose this one to be the main topic.

Hi!

Personally, I enjoy shoota mobs because I like the flexibility they offer, though if I was hardcore about going with Goffs, I'd certainly want all choppa boys. If the Rule of Cool is your thing, note that you can mix choppa boys and shoota boys in the same mob.

? Did it multi post? Sorry having Wi-Fi trouble, didn't realize it had caused a multipost tho...

Fixed it!

Grots mixed up the gubbins with the wot-nots. Clobbered one grot wiv the uvva grot. Didn't fix it any faster but it made me feel Bettah!

I wouldn't bother magnetising unless you enjoy it. I seem to recall you have hobby butterfly syndrome, and if you're anything like me, magnetising is a chore and makes me look elsewhere. 

 

If I just worked some extra hours, for the amount of time it takes to magnetise I could just by another box or two of Nobs. 

[Canadian_F_H]

I do enjoy magnetizing... It also keeps my bits bin down a bit... (tho it makes the army storage a bit messier)

That being said. Wow! To heck with the rules... Rule of cool wins with those massive 2 handed big Choppas and those rediculous big Combi Shootas! I don't care if power claws are usually "better" whew...

I've yet to magnetize any orks but basically all my marines are, ugh! Except now I've misplaced my magnets and couldn't magnetize even if I wanted to... figures. However, unless you actually  swap the arms all the time, superglue works too. Just don't use too much of it and it's easy enough to snap an arm off without damage - something I now need to do again to some of mine in order to give them choppas instead of sluggas in the second arm! Now that's proppa orky kool, dual melee weapon nobs!

Nasty aggressive fungal infection...

Need to remember to drill out the barrels...

"tha is 'ow the dakka knows what end of the shoota to come out of"

Drilling barrels is such a small, simple thing to do that does so much for a model. I love it.

And I am happy they re-released the Grukk Facerippa model. It's such a stellar warboss model and that squig is proppa'.

[Canadian_F_H]

He is a great model! Decided to put the squig on a seperate base for reasons tho...

So... I noticed a while ago that I'm missing a spru from the deff dread kit. The one with the legs and some major body parts... I've been looking everywhere and still haven't found it...

If it doesn't turn up, i might have to figure something else out...

So what about looting something to make the deff dread... I was thinking like gnarly tank tracks to make him like an Orky version of that big tank tracked thing from the terminator movies...

https://youtu.be/P7nq-r7QWW0

Little reminder video... Bonus points this is from 84 and to kill the tank in referring to, they totally use something that looks a lot like the meltabombs from the assault marine kit.

So im keeping busy while i pull an all-nighter to get my self good and tired to sleep thru the day so i can start working 12hour night shifts...

And i realized i should update this plog. I picked up a ton of orks recently and i really aught to finish building the ones i had. Once finished ill have at least 2500 points, if not a well optimized list.

Anyways. In a hurry to get back to it, so peruse these badly illuminated photos of the waaagh if you like...

Slight waaagh update. Played some games using 7th edition orks vs horus heresy legions. Had a blast and am inspired so i will try to get some pictures up of the games soonush and eventually will have some WIP updates to show. Hopefully relatively soon because i would really like to have visible progress for next wednesday's game night.

For now, good night!

Slight update. there is much more happening, but this is all i have sized down for the gallery for now.

















might nab some detail shots of the Orkanaut magnetization later. some of it is overkill, but there is no such thing as underkill. *laughs in Mekboy*

i have a lot else to show when i get a chance. i've already primed a bunch of storm boyz and the Orkanaut, but like i said, no pictures ready.

catch up with y'all soon!

goodnight.

Just for reference, this is the list i brought to the 2v2 HH/AOD/30K game.

Obviously 7th edition rules etc. But that is what is compatible with the other factions in the battle.

I have made 2 alternative 3k lists that primarily drop "da Vulcha Skwad" for either a triad of "big trakks" with "supa-kannons" or the "kustom battle fortress" aka looted baneblade. Plus minor adjustments to accomodate those exchanges as they were more points than da vulcha skwad alone.
