Check out the rest of the Orksvent days!



Tellyporta Mob Formation

Some Warbosses have daring and kunning that borders on stupidity.  Instead of plodding along in space (which can be quite a hassle, some Ork leaders have taken to using Tellyporta teknology to invade planets.  It’s not always the best tactical decision and it is never safe, but it certainly gets a lot of boyz across the galaxy pretty fast.

Formation:


  • 1 Warboss
  • 1 Big Mek
  • 3 Units of either Boyz or Warbikerz. 


Restrictions:


  • The Warboss and Mek must, together, join one of the other units from this Formation at the start of the game.  
  • The Boyz and Warbikerz must be filled to the maximum number of models allowed by their unit description.
  • Models which are not a part of this Formation may not join units in this Formation before units in this Formation have arrived from Deepstrike.
  • Units in this Formation may not select a Dedicated Transport.


Special Rules:


Tellyporta Attack:  All units in this Formation must arrive via Deepstrike.  If a unit from this Formation suffers a Deepstrike Mishap because it would be touching an enemy unit, then when you roll for the mishap and roll a “1” on the chart, instead of destroying the Deepstriking unit, place it in close combat with the enemy unit which is closest to the initial Deepstriking model.  Resolve the placement of models as you would normally in close combat:  engage with as many enemy models in the unit as possible while maintaining unit coherency.  Neither unit counts as having charged that turn and neither unit is allowed to benefit from Furious Charge, Counter-Attack, Hammer of Wrath, or any other special ability which is triggered when either unit charges.

Not All There Yet:  On the game turn a unit from this Formation arrives from Deepstrike, it has a 4+ invulnerable save.  Additionally, any wounds a unit from this Formation causes on the game turn it arrives from Deepstrike can be ignored with a 4+ invulnerable save as well.

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

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
