Hot WAAGH! on WAAGH! Action!

On the Monday before Christmas, my buddy, Francis suggested that we celebrate WAAGH!mas and play a game with our entire collections.  Of course, I agreed.  We decided to just set it all up and smash each other with little to no real adherence to force composition.  For example, Francis used a unit of Stormboyz which boasted over thirty Orks and I gave my Sororkitas Kommandos a Looted Wagon as a Dedicated Transport.

We had a blast even though we only got two turns in.  We got to see our entire armies on the table and got several photos of the game.

We also got to use our Stompas and mine even made it into close combat to use STOMP on the Stormboyz, which was incredible.  I think I prefer the changes to the Stompa's gatler gun.  It may not have as insane a top end, but at least you get a full turn of shooting out of it before it craps out.

I love this shot.

WAAGH!mas was fun.  I'd love to try doing it the Saturday before Christmas in 2014.  Maybe mix things up and have people bring 3000 or 4000 points and have some prizes.  Maybe I'll have little, paper sacks, most of them with candy in them and others with models in them. Whenever you kill a unit, you pick a sack out of the mix to keep. That might be fun.

Ordo Draconis Armies on Parade

As I finish up models that have been sitting in my queue, I've been doing army shots including them. Last week, I finished up the knight models I had lying around. The lore for Knight House Draco has advanced in the Era Indomitus. The house's pencheant for daemon fighting has caught the eye of the Ordo Malleus and they have been brought into the fold. Their worlds have been put under communications blackout and household forces sworn to the crusade against the Ruinous Powers. They are now known as the Ordo Draconis and even Greater Daemons tremble at the mere mention of their name. Tiamat Drogon Gojira Melificent Falcor Smaug Jabberwocky Jormungandr The Eye Stalkers

How Did it Come to This? 10,000 Points of Painted Orks

One can only make so many milestone posts before people eventually get soul-crushingly bored of them.  However, I'm going to make an exception here because with my Vengeance Batteries, I've reached a total of 10,000 points painted with my Orks.  These points include reasonable upgrades, but not ridiculous add-ons like Kill Kannons for the Battlewagons.  Let's not be silly . Here's a video of the army.  Unlike the one I did for 7,000, this does not include a running commentary of each unit.  I simply cannot find the time to do that.  However, at the end of the post, please find a complete army list. Please try to view in YouTube instead of this embed because I uploaded it at full resolution and it took me forever.  You won't be disappointed! I started playing this game in 2010 when some friends and I suddenly realized that we finally had grown-up jobs and could actually afford it.  I'd always danced around the idea of collecting Orks either for F

2021 in Review and Looking Forward

Newly-painted models of 2021 Hobby progress was largely successful in 2021 with a huge focus on repainting old Orks into the new scheme.  Album for fully painted models of 2021: https://photos.app.goo.gl/CPwtmvia5UQLguka8 Album for repainted models of 2021:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/WxGgtThxS7M6bdmp6 By the numbers: Points fully painted: 4457 Models fully painted: 132 Points repainted: 5467 Models repainted: 205 Total points: 9924 Total models: 337 After completing all the repaints, I managed to get some army shots of the Orks, which doesn't include the new Megaboss or the Bossbunker, but it's most everything else, about 26,000pts in new money: Morkers Morkers Dreadmob Gorkers Mercenaries and Misc. 2022 For 2022, I have a lot of projects on the burner including more Orks, a Cities of Sigmar project, and Tau. As usual, the Rogue Trader idea keeps percolating and collecting one kit at a time in its little, plastic container. Orks: 9x Killa Kans 3x Deffkoptas (also need to rebase
