Orksvent 2016 Part 3: Paragon Orks - Wargear



A WAAGH!band of Paragon Orks have survived and succeeded on countless battlefields. As their heaps of treasure and experience build, so do their innovations. When a piece of wargear can be added to the list of traditional Ork units, it will be mentioned here. Otherwise, the remaining upgrades are available to other units in this supplement.

Boosta Pack

This piece of equipment works exactly like a Rokkit Pack except that the model moves 3d6" in the movement phase instead of 12". A Big Mek may equip himself with a Boosta Pack instead of a Warbike for 15 pts.

Bosspole

If a unit of Orks with the Brutal or Possibly Kunning special rule has a bosspole in it, then it must re-roll any failed morale or pinning checks.

Deff Armour

Deff Armour is as much of a status symbol of Ork warlords and their lieutenants as they are protective wargear. It is often made from the equipment of fallen enemies such as Space Marines. Deff Armour provides a 3+ armour save. It may be selected by a Warboss instead of 'Eavy Armour for 15 pts.

Deff Trophies

Many Krork units possess a bravado that belies their hubris... and it is well-deserved! They tend to decorate their armour with trophies of past conquests. This reminds them to have no fear in the face of even the most formidable of opponents.

A unit comprised entirely of models with Deff Trophies has the Stubborn special rule.

Deffkopta

A Big Mek may equip himself with a Deffkopta instead of a Warbike for 35 pts.

Mekka-Naught Armour

Many Big Meks aspire to greatness, but are often left in the shadow of greater Orks. The Mekka-Naught Armour is often the result of these delusions of grandeur which culminate in a final mad grab for power, thus allowing the Big Mek his chance in the sun. Unfortunately, the surgical upgrades required to equip a suit of armour of such girth can be problematic for the aspiring warlord.

Mekka-Naught Armour provides a 3+ armour save, a 5++ invulnerable save, +2 Wounds, and the Eternal Warrior special rule. Mekka-Naught Armour comes equipped with a Buzz Saw.

After the Big Mek has taken 2 unsaved wounds, the Mekka-Naught Armour is destroyed and the Big Mek loses all its benefits except the additional wounds. Having said that, after the armour is destroyed, roll a dice. On a 1 or a 2, the Big Mek takes an additional Str 5 AP - hit as the armour's power plant explodes.

Mekka-Naught Armour is 50 pts and can be equipped on a Big Mek instead of a Kustom Forcefield and has the same equipping restrictions.

Personal Tellyporta

One of the hallmarks of a blossoming Paragon Ork kultur is the advent of Tellyporta technology. Some Big Meks even develop portable versions designed to take them and a squad of brave souls to the heart of the enemy.

A model equipped with a Personal Tellyporta and any unit he joins gains the Deep Strike special rule. If the unit would normally suffer a deepstrike mishap due to proximity to enemy units, they are placed in close combat with those units instead. They do not count as having charged and Overwatch may not be taken against them.

In addition, the unit gains the Hit & Run special rule and adds 1d6" to their movement in the movement phase.

The Personal Tellyporta is 50 pts and can be equipped on a Big Mek instead of a Kustom Forcefield and has the same equipping restrictions.

Supa Choppa Weapons


The Supa Choppa is a bigger, meaner, and often brightly-painted version of a Big Choppa. Most Orks are far too weedy to wield such a weapon, even your average Nob. Supa Choppas count as "Choppa Weapons".

                           Range  Strength  AP  Type
Supa choppa                  -       +2     5   Melee, Two-handed, Grinding
Double-Headed Supa Choppa    -       +2     5   Melee, Two-handed, Grinding, Double


Grinding: Successful saving throws made against wounds caused by a weapon with this special rule must be re-rolled. Any saving throw which already allows for a failed result to be re-rolled instead is not re-rolled at all.

Double: This weapon counts as two weapons for the purpose of calculating extra attacks.

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 Or...

Joke Armies - an Editorial

Ponies and Smurfs and Gundams! Oh my! Sometimes someone posts a joke army they've built and painted on the internet and the internet lashes out against it, sometimes quite vociferously. I have a problem with the strong objections to these armies, with caveats. Please note that, throughout this article, I will refer to armies which break the 4th wall and are incongruous to the 40k fluff as "joke armies".  Of course, I do realize many hobbyists who choose to build their armies in this way do not mean them as a joke and take it very seriously, but I need some kind of general term for the article. Shannon's Smurf Drop Pod Army Hobbyist Reasoning The hobbyists who choose this kind of path for their army express four-ish common reasons for doing so, sometimes citing two or three of them simultaneously. Cost:  Cost can be a big driver towards building this kind of army. A lot of the time, it's quite a bit cheaper to use toys to stand in for 40k models.  An ...

Loopy Paints Unto Others - Space Marines (Brown)

I've completed another commission for Frontline Gaming.  For this one, the customer chose a brown scheme using the Ravenwing iconography for a generic chapter or chapter of his own devising.  This was a LEVEL 1 commission which means just one highlight. This was the first time I'd ever done Edge Highlighting which is the preferred method for doing this level of commission.  I know it may seem strange that someone doing commission work hasn't done edge highlighting, but it's just not my preferred method.  I prefer to wet blend everything or just do blocked highlights over darker colors and washes. The first go-around they looked terrible.  I tried really hard to keep the edge highlights thin and vague, but instead they came out kind of sloppy.  Because of that, I had to spend an additional 4 hours on making the highlight heavier and more pronounced.  The good thing is, I know what I'm doing now and won't make the same mistake again; therefore a...
