WickedJester1013 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I know they are not the best clan as this moment, but they are my favorite lore wise. Any tips on starting ork army of this clan? I know the PA book will also come out this month but for the mean time any advice with snake bitez or orks in general would be great. I’m also looking for something that is fun to play over hyper competitive. Oh also I do plan on having a small evil Sunz support detachment XIXWYRMEXIX and Kierdale 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Well, I haven’t painted much of my Snakebite army yet but there’s a lot of it made: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/336550-waaargh-grimsnaga-warboss-on-super-cyboar/ For inspiration there are old fluff images of Snakesbites (all the clans and more, in fact) here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/360436-old-ork-fluff-and-images-for-inspiration/ I can’t comment on what’s good for an army gaming wise, but Age of Sigmar savage orcs (bonesplitters as they are now) are a great base for making more primitive-looking Snakebites. I look forward to seeing your work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedJester1013 Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 Yeah so far I have savage orks, squig hoppers for storm boys and my buddy gave me his old fantasy ork and goblin army, so 10 boar boys, some black orks. Then a good deal of spider riders and wolf riders Kierdale 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XIXWYRMEXIX Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Does not matter if they are the "best" or not if you want to make a Snakebites army. I think it is a cool idea, not enough other clans especially Snakebites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tychobi Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 If you make a painboy your warlord you can do unbreakable grots with a 6+++. . Not game breaking good but you can own your deployment and generate a pile of cp for a few hundred points. Control strats are pretty good for orks. Also night gobbo archers are pretty easy/cheap to come by and make great stand ins. Kierdale 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Valkenhayn Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I'm in the process of gathering the bits to do this myself. My plan is to use savage boyz and some Lizardmen dinos with Lizardmen/Ogre cannons mounted on them for my various vehicles. I'm also in the market for some small rubber snakes or dragons I can mold onto boyz and paint up with fire coming out of their mouths to stand in for burna boyz, and some little ptaradactals to mount on their shoulders for storm boyz. No luck as of yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedJester1013 Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 What about those flying skink riders from fantasy? Not sure if they made it into AoS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedJester1013 Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) Does the pain boy work on grots? Still learning orks. I am doing a mix of Gretchin, squigs, and the goblin archers for my grot squads. I think the issue with snake bites is the lore doesn’t match the rules very well. Big flavor of the snake bites are the fact that they have the best grots and a crazy selection of orky animals. The best breeders. Where you see none of those or orky animals on the table and the only enhanced grots you get is a warlord trait to auto pass moral lol Edited March 12, 2020 by WickedJester1013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paturabo Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Might I suggest slapping some big guns onto a Iron Jawz Maw-krusha to be a Gorkanaut Kierdale 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Caerolion Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 What about those flying skink riders from fantasy? Not sure if they made it into AoS? Those are still there, I know one of the variants are the Ripperdactyls, they even have an orkish-looking jaw, could potentially be used for some sort of flying squig.

Marshal Valkenhayn Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 The only problem with the flying skink kit is how damn expensive the ones I was looking at were. Am I tripping or are they 60 bucks for 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Caerolion Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 They are cavalry models, and decently sized. It's not too surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 For stormboys my plan is to get some Tyranid gargoyle wings and GreenStuff a ‘batsquig’ onto the back of each boy, a semi-parasitic beastie latched onto their spines. For bigger beasties, as has been suggested, take some AoS monsters and turn them into counts-as-vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedJester1013 Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 Paturabo that is the mammoth looking guy right? I also want to use the big spider from AoS and the big beatle that the Elve queen rides, just have no idea what to do with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedJester1013 Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 Other plans are the new Gloomspite trolls as Killa cans, and the bigger dankhold frog goth as a DEFF dread. And no idea what to do with the mangler squig just know I want one lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedJester1013 Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 https://www.games-workshop.com/en-EU/Gloomspite-Gitz-Gobbapalooza-2019 How acceptable would it be to use this as snake bite weird boyz? maybe with upgraded base so that some heights match?

Lord_Caerolion Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Personally? I'm all for it. Most of them work just fine, although the Brewgit/Spiker maybe not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedJester1013 Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 Is that the little dude on the other little dude, pretending to be a bigger dude lol? And was thinking of making a mushroom base for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Caerolion Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Brewgit is the guy with the cauldron on his back, Spiker is the "centaur" one. The one you're asking about is the Scaremonger, guy riding a walking mushroom is the Shroomancer, and the puppeteer one is the Boggleye. Shroomancer and Boggleye would work fine, no questions asked, as Weirdboyz, given they are wizards themselves. Scaremonger... looks Weirdboy-ish enough to count, I guess? The Brewgit and Spiker are just weird Night Goblins with potions or poisons respectively, they don't really have that wizard-y look to count as a Weirdboy to me.

WickedJester1013 Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 OH THAT GUY! yeah i remember him. damn near auto include if i can figure what to do with him. And yeah i understand what you guys are saying about the assorted goblin dudes. Honestly i already have the savage ork shaman so really can only use two more weirdboys and im sure i can find a fun use for the rest! Biggest challenge is both learning orks as an army so i understand how to build my force, but also to look at a cool monster and say yeah that fits....blank....lol. So many cool options just not sure where to fit them into a 40k ork army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
