Madboyz Formation




Although not as fundamentally important to the strategy laid out by Drillteef and his generals, Weirdboyz have been, more and more, an important addition to the WAAGH!  The Weirdboyz of WAAGH! Drillteef have become convinced that they can (and will) eventually summon forth the quasi-Daemonic forces of the lost Warboss, Tuska.  Of course, Drillteef is personally wary of such a move considering that, if Tuska were to ever breach the boundaries of the immaterium, he might have some hefty competition to contend with. On the other hand, an ally of Tuska’s strength and fame could make his WAAGH! unsoppable. For this reason, Drillteef has granted the Weirdboyz of his WAAGH! a bit of autonomy that other bosses are, quite frankly, afraid to.  Of course, Drillteef is no fool; he assigns to these wild characters large coteries of assistants whose sole purpose is to keep the Weirdboyz under control and safe.

Formation:


1 Weirdboy
1 unit of Boyz

Restrictions:


Most Orks believe Weirdboyz and their Madboy bodyguards to be highly dangerous and refuse to be anywhere near them.  This unittreats other Orks who are not in Madboyz formations or who are not Weirdboyz as Allies of Convenience.

Special Rules:


Special Kunning, Da Best Inventions

Strict Orders:  The Weirdboy in this Formation must join the unit of Boyz in this Formation at the start of the game and they must stay together for the duration of the game.

Chains of Mork:   If the Weirdboy from this Formation suffers a Perils of the Warp, he may ignore it on a 4+.  If successful, 1d3+3 Orks in the unit from this Formation suffer Perils of the Warp instead.  The controlling player may select the models so affected.

Overcharged:  When the Weirdboy from this Formation dies, before removing the model, immediately roll a die.  On a 4+, he explodes as if he were a vehicle.  After wounds from the explosion are resolved, the controlling  player picks a surviving model in the Boyz unit from this Formation.  Replace that model with the Weirdboy with 1 wound remaining.

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
