Threejacks Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Your team didn't do bad against Biohazard,Steel Angel tied his game,you won against Torg and Saul slapped my walkers around(despite me trying to physically remove his flyrant from the game by throwing on the ground like a spazz).The only loss you had against us was with Mark`s Ork Bikers...but he rolled everyone he played anyway so no surprise there. This and your painting looked pretty good I thought:) Either way it was great to see such a large Ork foot army in action! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluger Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Man, am I gonna hear about how we should have graded Orks harder? No, Mark had his list set for the Open, we never saw it that I'm aware. I could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This and your painting looked pretty good I thought:) Either way it was great to see such a large Ork foot army in action! Oh, no worries. We had more wins against you guys than the whole rest of the event combined! Really what did us in is that while a few of my models are painted as well as I can do, they're about half of the total models and the rest is 3 color minimum with no basing. Saul and Pete and Dale do fine in terms of painting, but I'll always drag it down. We each got a fav opponent pin, so we're OK when it comes to sports, but at OFCC, that's pretty much the baseline IMO. In any event, I don't go to OFCC to measure myself against other people, I *really* don't care that we were last place. I'm only embarrassed I'd already packed the grot that I had designated for bucket duty! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluger Posted July 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 moar orks's OK. So, trying to get my Orks up to a bit more of a competitive list. I'm convinced that Kustom Mega Kannons are going to be a big asset for dealing with lots of nasties. At the OFCC, UselessWizzard had some cool artillery carriages and some cool guns. As well, at the RTT that Lord Hanaur put on at Game Matrix, I had won a box of Killa Kans. With some glue, a knife, and a bunch of random bits and such...

Guest Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Great conversion, though are they really any cheaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted July 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Great conversion, though are they really any cheaper? I paid 2.50 for the parts from Useless Wizzard, and even had I bought the killa kans (which I won, so they were free), that's like 50 bucks and the mek guns are 42 a kit. I also have enough spare gretchin that I don't have to buy any of those either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluger Posted July 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 So, if another wanted to replicate your conversion, how much would they cost? A box of killa kanz, 2 dollars for 2 cheap dollar store cars, and then artillery carriages and the guns. I have no idea where the gun barrels came from, so no idea on the cost. Basically, you'd be looking at about 50-55 bucks I'd guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skkipper Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 looks good. sadly I have three boxes of the new guns and 2 of the new meganobz and have been distracted by khorne. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uselesswizard Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 The spiral bits are dollar store wine aerators. I picked them up a few years ago when one of the smaller dollar stores was still around. The gun carriages were from a civil war set of six cannons I bought at Tammie's Hobbies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluger Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I know that Xavier did something like that for his Mek Gunz, and PourSpelur made a conversion for my trakta kannons that have treads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 I did some modelling putting together some scraps people had given to me and I did an inventory on putting together my 1850 list.At this point I only need3 Choppa/Slugga Boyz2 Gretchin1 Traktor Kannon (Dale was putting the finishing touches on one he already built...)1 Wall of Marytrs bunker (going to scratch build it)I played with the 1850 list I concocted a while back (and added in a unit of kommandos for 140 pts) with proxies last night against Lord Hanaur and really enjoyed it. Only thing I wanted to change was to get some kind of Leadership buff into those artillery pieces. I figured I'd just get an HQ mek for 15 pts as he both bumps the squad size to 9, which means it takes 3 casualties before they have to test, and he gets them to Ld7. To do that, I'm shaving off the barricade I got with the Wall of Martyrs and a single ammo runt.Grukk Face Rippa: 130Mek: 1530 Boyz: 220Nob, Power Klaw, Boss Pole30 Boyz: 220Nob, Power Klaw, Boss Pole30 Boyz: 220Nob, Power Klaw, Boss Pole10 Gretchin and 1 Runtherd: 353 MegaArmor Nobz: 125 + 35Boss PoleTrukk: Reinforced Ram3 MegaArmor Nobz: 125 + 35Boss PoleTrukk: Reinforced Ram20 Stormboyz: 220Nob, Power Klaw, Boss Pole2 Rokkit Buggies: 502 Rokkit Buggies: 504 Kustom Mega-Kannons: 1202 Trakta Kannons: 631 Ammo Runt8 Lootas: 112Wall of Martyrs Bunker: 75Ammo Dump1850 For 2k Games I can add in the 140 pt Kommando unit and the Barricade.

fluger Posted August 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 So, I rummaged through my bitz bin some more and was able to find 2 more gretchin and 3 more choppa boyz.I put them together and also did some work on my WoM Bunker. At this point, the only thing left to build is the rest of the Bunker and get the last Traktor Kannon from PourSpelur.Speaking of PourSpelur, he stopped by on Friday and I think we've finalized the process for painting the Orks.They CERTAINLY won't be winning any painting contests, but I think they look acceptable at table top level and the whole process should be super fast.Oh, and I have to go through and drill out the barrels on a few guns first before I spray and start painting... Pretty stoked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluger Posted August 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 So, played against someone I met on WarSound over at the Game Matrix. We were practicing for the Ambassador Tournament that's happening next month and tried out one of the scenarios. This was my list: Grukk Face Rippa: 130Mek: 1530 Boyz: 220Nob, Power Klaw, Boss Pole30 Boyz: 220Nob, Power Klaw, Boss Pole30 Boyz: 220Nob, Power Klaw, Boss Pole10 Gretchin and 1 Runtherd: 353 MegaArmor Nobz: 125 + 35Boss PoleTrukk: Reinforced Ram3 MegaArmor Nobz: 125 + 35Boss PoleTrukk: Reinforced Ram10 Kommandos: 140Nob, Power Klaw, Boss Pole20 Stormboyz: 220Nob, Power Klaw, Boss Pole2 Rokkit Buggies: 502 Rokkit Buggies: 504 Kustom Mega-Kannons: 1202 Trakta Kannons: 631 Ammo Runt8 Lootas: 112Wall of Martyrs Bunker: 85Ammo Dump, Single Barricade2000 My opponent, Matt, was using a kinda hodge-podge of Sisters of Battle units. This was my first game in a long time not playing Maelstrom and it really threw me for a loop. Maelstrom lends itself to aggressive play, but this mission was basically an old school objective mission with one in the middle. I really overshot the objective, crashed into his forces, was beaten up and then conceded the objective late game. Had I been more tactical and played to the mission, I should've had an easier time of it, but oh well. Things I learned. 1. When not playing Maelstrom, don't just run at your opponent, camp objectives and make them dislodge you. 2. Stop putting lootas in the bunker when you don't need to. He didn't really have anything that could shoot at them and it would've been better to just be on top of it and not get killed with dominions outflanking... That or put it in the middle of the board... Learn to use fortifications better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 All those Sisters players are WAAC-jobs anyways;) Sounds like a fun game. I find Maelstrom can be a bit of a game changer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
