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.

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
