Dakka Ad Infinitum Uber Alles Ad Nasueum 

Hey, I could make it worse. I could drop the Boyz add in 14 grots, swap the traktors with KMB for 2x heavy D6 S8 AP-3 Dm6 Kannons.... 

Oh yea, hits of 6 generate more attacks 😛

Oh and they hit on 4's normally

Yeah.  Apparently I'm good at making lists that are either very underpowered or overpowered? I was kind of thinking the list wasn't too bad, due to the shortage of CP and model count, but maybe at this low point value those are dwarfed by the sheer amount of dakka in the list?

I kinda have no idea what I'm doing

 

Still scares me into wanting to bring Loota Hell....

I figure they’ll show up in your 1,000 or 1,500 Points list. Along with a Da Jump’ing Warboss Mega-Nob Powerklaw Smashkaptain.

But, really, the Redemptor only has three Wounds more than a Rhino. They have the same Toughness and Save... and ain’t nobody worried about being able to hurt a Rhino. The guns on the Redemptor are scary, but he’s pretty much a giant yellow DISTRACTION CARNIFEX.

Pshhhh distraction... I will just shoot everything off the board and let grots take the hits 😛

This list is funny as it drops a PL but is a very dangerous list

The walking bullet hose an especially nasty choice against Orks, I will admit. OTOH, it won’t be so great once we get into higher point values and more anti-tank weapons start showing up. The Redemptor is T 7, 3+, and only has thirteen Wounds, with no Invulnerable Save, so isn’t all that durable.

Edit to Add: See that Tau list? That’ll slag my Dreadnought in two turns, tops. Could probably do it in one if the Dice Gods favor him.

Dont make me switch to tankbustas and lootas! I can do it!

Do we have an idea on when exactly this is going to kick off? It might affect what I bring.

Sounds like January 8th so 3 Tuesday from today

I have 180 models in my 2k list and that's like 1/3rd of my collection...😩

Yea... I think I am about there as well. Easily since it's about 5x squads of grots 2x 20 boy squads, 25 loota, and that's just the basics... There are tankbustas, Mek guna (and their stupid need of 6 grots a pop), and so much more... 

Stupid redemptor Dread... I forgot it's feasible to take those at this points level... I am not sure if my orks would survive against that.

The first time I painted boyz I did 15 colors per model...on 120 models.  Bonus points, they look like [big bad swear word].

I thank the living stars for my airbrush. I do the armor in the klan color, the pants, the shirt, the weapon then midori green skin. Dry brush for various pops, airbrush was mix of nuln and earth's hade. Call it good. 

I don't have 120 but I have a lot

My big issue is that I cannot use rattle cans indoors. The propellants aggravate the asthma of my spouse... They’re taking the kids to Vegas for a three-day mini-vacation after Christmas. I should be able to cobble together a makeshift “spray booth” in the basement using some cardboard boxes.  

Fair. I do airbrush primer when I need to do fine details or can't go outside. Otherwise, I keep the can warm and prime on a sunny day or at least slightly cloudy. This last Tuesday was perfect here in Portland

I'm with you here, i'm afraid i'll get all my guys ready for priming, but have no guts to prime in the COLD and bad humidity temps...

I have found as long as the can of primer is warm enough the model temp matters little. Just don't go to Mt hood and prime

I'd love to see a conversion where the Traktor Cannon lauched tractors...maybe a giant slingshot with one of those ork buggies on it painted in john deer colors.

Dont make me 3d print a catapult with snotling sized traktors with snotling inside... Because it would be a ton of work... And be hilarious

Oh, definitely EXPENSE.  I try not to think of how many hundreds and thousands of dollars I’ve dropped on Orks.  

 

Pro Tip, check out Mindtaker Miniatures or any second hand source to cut costs.  

That is on my list but then my FLGS gets in New boxes and shiny model syndrome kicks in

19 minutes ago, paxmiles said:

You mean "Expanse"? Makes sense either way

Fair play. Either way works. So many models... So much painting... Though these new vehicles are a ton of fun

As a brand new ork player who has loved them for years but never took the jump into the expense known as orks.... Yea these are going to be a blast. Still need to get my first game in... 

1 hour ago, Dark Trainer said:

I'm considering the same. Actually playing my Orks for a change!

Yea, I am debating on my Evil Sunz Nob Warbikers for the potential anti knight with Kommandos 

Or I can go the loota and Grot bad moons... 

Or I can go pick up the 3 deff dreds I ordered and run them as Deathskulls for that sweet sweet invul, some Traktor Cannons and Kitt bashed Mek Gun variants... 

Options... It. Is a problem

Why don't I want Ethereals? Just wondering, I'm very new to this edition's TAU, with my last functional TAU army being in 4th, when they first launched.

You only really need one. Cadre Fireblades are strong HQ choices for their 2+ Marker Light. 

Ethereals are buff givers and while a few are nice there are disadvantages if they die. Which they do. Easily. 

Escalation league progression 

I am all for a double point week (750, 750, 1000, 1000,etc) as it's more paint time for me. 

With Chapter Approved out I wonder if we will be using some of the things from that or Vigilus such as custom characters or not. Need to know how much nodding I need to do. 

Guess I will build a fun 750 list... Well fun for orks

On 12/3/2018 at 4:44 PM, Dark Trainer said:

Yes, 750 is a better starting point because 500 is really a patrol battle, and very limiting. As for knights (if someone really wants to escalate a knights list, you can't discriminate), this would be why doubles would be ideal, can balance some matches. However, i'm not forcing doubles, it will be optional/encouraged, but no points benefits, etc. It's just fun is all. 

 

As for bringing your leafblower...if there's no prize for winning, it's like OFCC, being a douche won't be motivating.

Heh... You mean my Nob Warbikers and Wartrike will have a target... Heh go go power claws and still have almost 300 points to play with! 

I am in. I have been painting many many many orks so that I could finally play with them and feel satisfied and now you tell me I only need to focus on a few things!?! 

Sign me up. Just need to know the rules and format please. Oh and if we are going to use any of the new Chapter Approved things

Well, warbikers are a 5th ed kit. Terrain is just piles of random rubble, so despite giving you a "model" it's not really something you should have to buy. So I see it as $150 for two new vehicles, and a bunch of junk freebies. 

Now, compared to one of those HH Betrayal of Calnath box sets, also $150. You get 30 marines ($150 for 3 sets of 10), 5 Terminators ($60), a Contemptor Dread ($60), and two characters ($50), that's 38 models for the same $150. By comparison, I think GW is not offering you a very good deal, even assuming you really want those bikers and that rubble terrain. 

But sure, if you are brand new to Orks and are of the mindset that every ork kit should be bought and assembled as per the GW intructions, and are also unable to make your own terrain, then sure, $150 is better than the retail of buying these seperately.

Seems very elitist way of thinking. Especially since GW prices things based on how many they think people will need for an army or buy

As for age, if it's a current model it's a current model. Trukks are old as well but they have aged well same with bikes compared to the buggys

Okay got the book... so many models I have that are no longer codex, this is getting complicated. 

It's not too complicated. Big Mek with KFF, use Index, Warboss in Mega Armor or on Warbikers, use index. 

It will get easier

Shhh, now. No more Orktober, the grots have had too much squig sweeties and need their sleep.

Now we must begin to complain about how disappointed we are by Nidvember. 

You mean  Nobvember right? We're we share stores of our Bountiful Waaghs! and all the choppy and shooty we got to partake as we kick grots under the table... 

On 10/30/2018 at 11:56 AM, paxmiles said:

Yeah, didn't seem much of a good deal like the other box sets. And that terrain is very lackluster. The vehicles are nice, but those bikes are rather old kits at this point (still young compared to Khorne Berzerkers, but otherwise pretty old kits). Maybe the bikes are getting a price hike?

 

Just curious. 

Other buggys are what? $45?

Ok, Warbikers are 41.25 

That's 172.50  efore getting terrain and rules which we are looking at about $20 for the terrain as it is also in the Mek Shop kit

Call it an even $200 kit for 150. I know I personally cheat since I will be getting it for for 90 but still, 150 is 22.50 off the cost of msrp models. 

Set up as power level. 

This is from the East Port Plaza GW

"The Fate of Konor is coming up quickly and there is so much to it!

It has bonuses for collectors, painters, and gamers! We will have awards for all different types of accomplishments. Tokens and buttons for people who come play games at the shop! Those awesome dice bags you see will be for the first people who finish their cards completely! 6 games, 6 painted units, and 6 new units to add to your forces!

We will be having an escalating league over the 6 weeks of the campaign!
Week 1- Start Collecting or equivalent of 25 pp
Week 2- Add an elite. Up to 40 pp
Week 3- Add a tank. Up to 50 pp
Week 4- Add a psyker. Up to 60 pp
Week 5- Add a fast attack or flyer. Up to 70 pp
Week 6- Add a lord of war/ scenery. Up to 85 pp

These numbers have some flex to them but they are rough estimates but it allows you to plan out what you want to add to your army in the coming weeks!"
