When you own a 3d printer and want to make a Grot Mob army...

For those eagle eyed people you may see a Kan that doesnt look like another. 

I took a Deff Dread sized model from Gearguts and resized it to Killa Kan sized... Why? The question is why would you not?

If we are playing 9th ed as we should be with the proper amount of terrain Knights do NOT do well. They are in a race against the clock to remove as much of the opponents army as possible before they drop like rocks. 
 

Knights play the Secondary Objectives VERY well but lose the primary almost always

With all the Anti Tank running about and the fact that Knights have issues with scoring objectives it may go in your favor. I know my Grot Tanks would have some issues

Barring GW suddenly squating Grots I should be playing a Grot Army for kicks

My latest grot tank prints. These are for me to use hence why they are built

What the world needs is more Grot Tanks! 

I sent this for free to Table Top Titans for them to use. 

I am working on 16 more Grot Tanks and 1 more Mega Tank for my use then 6 Killa Kans... well Goblin Walkers 

Yup. Tabletop Titans did a game Tuesday with 3 Big Knights and 4 Little Knights. They used one of the Forgeworld Knights. Had a power sword... That tabled the Demon of Txentch army it was against

Most hige level players are recommending a lot of the little knights to have bodies for point taking and objective denying

There is a section of the 40k rulebook where abbadon gets his hands on a new primaris rifle and orders more of them.  There is also a short story about some traitor primaris,  we might see some chaos primaris kits with their new book eventually.  

Seems easy to make, just upgrade spru's basically, or new heads and shoulder pads.

Spiky bit primaris... just what the world needs...

Ive been looking at models and the new rules for the game and while I would love to build a Tau army and I have some already, I am thinking of getting into Space Marines or Chaos Marines. If i did marines I was thinking White Scars, Space wolves or Salamanders. If I did Chaos i would probably do Emperor's Children, Alpha legion, or Thousand Suns.

 

Do people have any suggestions on what I should do?

Also I plan to 3dprint most of the army

 

If you have good models to 3d print then use them. I mean I am 3d printing an Ork Army (even if I already have an Ork Army) 

Here is 1600 points of Grot Tanks I did for someone

It almost feels like the Chinork slept with one of the GW editor’s wives. 

HAHAHAHA almost... it turned into a Flyer with out the Flyer protection. It gained 2 wounds and a Toughness but those are inconsequential since it lost open-topped and its ratter got nerfed to the ground.

Boo, my psicannon razorback and doomglaive dread are officially legend.  I was hoping they'd be rolled into a new Grey Knight codex.

The chinork was nuked SO VERY hard its an F tier unit now and that saddens me

This is a good game to watch.

I will be wanting to test the new Grot Tank stats out. Likely 1500-2000 points for 40k. @Salty Monkeywant revenge?

Probably, but it only has a Power Level and the most recent stats are only in a hard to find supplement.  I'm leaning towards just running it as a ridiculously oversized Battlewagon in regular games and busing out the Battle Fortress stats for whacky Apocalypse style games.

Just use the 20pts per PL and call it good

No worries, it is the smart play. We will have to see if Thursday will be safe but depending on results the rest of this week might be crazy. 

Since Saturday (where I got no sleep as I was devouring the new books info from previews) I have found orks to be insane!

Grot Tanks are viable now even without access to Ork stratagems (They are Gretchin... Ork codex doesnt allow Gretchin to use Ork strats unless it says so (so Grot Shields only)

The Mega and Meka Dreads offer a VERY interesting distraction Carnifex that they are rather fun. 

Then we get to the Kill Tank...the point drops so someone bringing what...72 Ramshackle wounds for under 1000 points and 3x Heavy 30 S6 AP-2 guns... Not to mention the Ram that lets you do mortal wounds on a charge

Here are a few lists I have made.

Orks "Rammin for Rammin's Sake" List

Orks "Oh Gods Why" List

Trivial Revolters Tank Company New IA

Thoughts on these new units? I know I will be making a few Meka and Mega Dreads. In fact I plan on making all of these lists.

Ork models is never removed from da game, they just become conversions for da uvver models.

Dat Chinork? It’s a Battlewagon now. 

Hahaha if only I had made some. 

Still the ork units are rather good. Definitely in that Necron/Sisters of Battle level of playability which is where I want all codices to be.

You might actually see multiple Kill Tanks now....

Ok... overall I am still sad at the lost of the Chinork HOWEVER... the Orks have somehow been blessed by Gork (maybe Mork)... most every option is useable... which is HUGE

In this next season of Crusade we will be starting this after the Winter break so looking at January. This will give time to those players who get a new codex to find and build what they want for this crusade.

I am still taking ideas on how people want the Crusade to go forward. I know people like to play their big games and while those are fun I have found that smaller games play 40k in a vastly different way. So we will be having a mix of large and small games. 

This may be by power level or points I am not certain yet and would like peoples opinions on this. Some armies dont have access to points for everything though the new Imperial Armor Index is out for pre release tomorrow so we shall see what happens to legends units. 

Ideas are ALWAYS welcome, I want this to improve and go strong!

For what it's worth (all 0.000002 cents) I think the older Monolith looks a lot more intimidating.  

The old one feels more Stargate while the new one feels more like the new Necron aesthetic and looks amazing to me. Just not useful at this time.

With the new Combat Patrol boxes replacing the Start Collecting, I am wondering if they will be coming out with one for all of the marine supplement dexes. SW and DW got one. Seems logical for DA and BA to get them as well when their books come out. Has anyone heard anything about that?

It is likely that they will.

I will be there to "hopefully" slap the gitz off of @Lyraeus Grot Tank army!

Do you not see my Grot Profile Picture 😛

Great. First the Primaris steal my Custodes' extra Wound. Then they steal our Storm Shields. Then they steal our 12" range flamers... Now they've stolen our Sisters of Silence! 

Fine, but we better get Thunderwolf Cavalry in return.

Good dream
