Yes, for a big Mek. The dred list has slightly different structure than the stand alone entries in IA8.

It's in IA8. Gotta have a Big Mek to take them.

Too bad you aren't taking a Big Mek, you could take a Junka in an Elite slot.

Well, there is this: http://www.wargamesbakery.co.uk/wargamesbakery%20basius.html But not available till May. The killer is cutting the holes and reusing the leftover. I can think of half a dozen different ways to to it without the holes and still have matching bases, but that doesn't help you. One way to do it would be make a single repeating mosaic tile, about 1.5 in sq. You then make a mold of that tile. Cast as many as you need and build your floor. Then use a hole saw to cut your bases holes in the floor, salvaging as much as possible. Any damaged circles could be rebuilt by casting more tiles and trimming/fitting as needed. If you wanted a less than pristine floor with a small amount of rubble it would be easier to hide to irregularities.

The trick with trukks is target saturation. 1 or 2 trukks are lousy, 4 are money. Load'm with ard boys and torpedo them at the opposition. I follow them up with a couple a battlewagons to provide distraction. I like the Looted wagon with Tankbusta idea...

Can I run between two tables, Bobby Fisher style? What if I'm my own team and already have 4 games going on in the team event, Bobby Fisher style? Could I sneak in on the open ala Kasperov? What if I roll in a Deep Blue and a monkey?

After missing last week I was able to make it to the 2/10 league night. I set up a game with evil_bryan and his plague marines. We played the ITC mission as instructed and I began feeding my orks to the meat grinder. I simply got lucky each turn as all I needed to do was more or less either kill something, or stay on the objective I already held. I was able to pop rhinos (no suprise) and take care of the plague marines with overwhelming numbers. The 10 Tankbustas in a trukk were my allstars though, hitting more often than they should have and surviving multiple flamings by the heldrake in the trukk. My single best tactic of the game was having Bryan roll dice. Multiple perils rolls successfully killed off his sorcerer, and a general bout of abysmal rolling on his part did more to help me then any kunnin plan on my part. I eventually won, but it was close. Thanks Bryan!

I could go for a more complicated two piece mold, guaranteed to cause more frustration than its worth. Or I can paint them black, and fake it. A big thumbs up to whoever can guess what I'll be doing.

I think it's the dude's 3d Art portfolio. Maybe I should make a master hull for casting? Or I can add it to your laundry list...

And done:

Charity cake auction for an Africa mission, so of course I busted out the Sotar 2020:

I say do it! If nothing else use the current Army List entries and just organize per the old list.

woot!

Patience, patience. You just have to wait for the rivet schedule... Next up are some shooty wagons. Something like this: And this with a liftadroppa: In between I need a unit of nobz, and painting the whole lot of them. Most likely I'll get 3 colors on the boyz and spend more time on the characters and the vehicles.

Hobbytown in Vancouver

I'll keep the option open. Given I would need to build 3 more wagons, paint them and the rest of the army by july I may stick with what I already have built. What about a lifta droppa wagon though? Just one, two would be duechy.

Evil sunz...so everything mounted up. Trukks, wagons, bikes, buggies, maybe some IA8 Guntrukks. I'll be takin Mogrok's Bossboys though, I really need the HQs to buff the boyz. I enjoy the friendly OFCC, but I still would like a chance...

I'll do 3 with a bunch of trukks then.

I like the Ogryns. One head swap and Ive got Orky Big Daddies. Or ultra Violent diaper babies.

The Blitz Brigade. Too much if used with a CAD?

I just want to paint'em...
