On the Monday before Christmas, my buddy, Francis suggested that we celebrate WAAGH!mas and play a game with our entire collections. Of course, I agreed. We decided to just set it all up and smash each other with little to no real adherence to force composition. For example, Francis used a unit of Stormboyz which boasted over thirty Orks and I gave my Sororkitas Kommandos a Looted Wagon as a Dedicated Transport.
We had a blast even though we only got two turns in. We got to see our entire armies on the table and got several photos of the game.
We also got to use our Stompas and mine even made it into close combat to use STOMP on the Stormboyz, which was incredible. I think I prefer the changes to the Stompa's gatler gun. It may not have as insane a top end, but at least you get a full turn of shooting out of it before it craps out.

WAAGH!mas was fun. I'd love to try doing it the Saturday before Christmas in 2014. Maybe mix things up and have people bring 3000 or 4000 points and have some prizes. Maybe I'll have little, paper sacks, most of them with candy in them and others with models in them. Whenever you kill a unit, you pick a sack out of the mix to keep. That might be fun.
I made this Battlewagon from the Genestealer Cult Rock Grinder and the Galvanic Servohauler . There are also various other Ork bitz, especially the gretchin from the Stompa kit as well as some other strange bitz from various sources. I will likely simply use this as a Battlewagon and drop the crane as a mek workshop at the start of the game. I might also try using this as a Lifta Wagon. Oops. Need to drill my barrel holes.
In my last post , I talked about the four main things I have left to do from my backlog: Blackstone Fortress The Unmade The Splintered Fang The Elucidian Starstriders Although I did manage to get some interesting basing down on the Blackstone Fortress models, I didn't get any paint on these. I did still get a lot of stuff done. May 6: I felt so daunted by all these projects that I pulled a lot of metal out of one of my storage boxes and painted it. I got into Warhammer, at first, through Battlefleet Gothic. It was a great game for its time and the models are great fun to paint. I re-painted WAAAGH! Drillteef's fleet in the colors of the warband. I didn't even really bother stripping them as most BFG models have very deep, overstated details that hold up even with multiple layers. May 8: In the hopes that Wendy would want to play some Blood Bowl with me during the COVID shutdown, I finished painting her Dwarfs team . I love the scheme she chose and I had ...
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...
