Came back hour laterz N he's an ice cube. Coat looks gud on me. Me N the boyz here been sent on a salvage mission, and we figurez this new untouched planet be free pickings. Now just to deal with all the other scums." -------------------------- I'm usually a HUGE Necron player. I've never played Orks, yet I've owned about 2k of them in various states for a few years. I figured this escalation league will actually get me painting some of them! So here they come. I've got 3 squads of 30 boyz, about 15 nobs, 6 deffkoptas, 6 warbikers, deffdredd, some big meks, warbosses, etc. I'm new to the HORDE approach of playing, we'll see how I do. Figured the low point levels would make finishing the games easier! So far, I've painted 5 Grots...the feeling of the titanic sitting on top of my paint brush is definitely there. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have more boyz than me but I have the armor. Though to be fair, I have turned about 20ish boys into various other types like. Kommandos and tankbustas I would love to talk strategy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it's less about strategy and trying to make what I own work. OH, i so want to rename them the Cheap Skatez! We'll see if 90 boyz is worth it or not. I see vehicle heavy lists or mostrous creatures being a weakness. I lack anti-lots of wounds. Doubt i could take down a knight for example...reliably.

Then big mek and warboss behind em. Tankbustas need to be 6" (so weird boy and teleporta don't deliver that range). I also didn't see anything allowed nades in CC anymore. So they're nice, but situational. Basically just wanted to try boyz only kind of thing before bringing in bigger stuff. Thinking deffdredd by 1k, 3 klaws and a skortcha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 I've seen people convert Ork Gargants out of a lot of crazy household albums, but this is really impressive... Are you sure you want to prime it in white though? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Rock Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 I believe Ish was making a facetious reference to the toilet. Which would make a very strange Gargant indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I don't allow myself to play orks anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isolated room in the house, vent to eliminate chem vapors, and of course indoors for proper temperature to dry. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
