There is No Rule Banning First Turn Assaults

For some weird reason, there's a pernicious rumor going around that you may not, under any circumstances, charge on the first turn of the game. I've heard this repeated several times recently, so I think it's time to post something up because this is completely untrue.

You may not charge if you have just arrived on the table whether from deepstrike or whatever.
You may not charge if you disembarked from a non-assault vehicle on your turn or on your opponent's turn (due to shooting).
You may not charge on the first player turn if you used Scout.
You may not charge on the first player turn if you used Infiltrate.

Of course, there are individual unit rules which break some of these rules, but that's neither here nor there. There are also few other rules which keep one from assaulting, but these are the only ones that have really got to do with appearing on the table.

At any rate, there is not a single rule that forces a blanket ban on first turn assaults. If your opponent comes too close, it's on them for doing so.

Remember, your opponent must always show you where the rule is; you don't have to show them where the rule isn't.

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.

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
