Spanner Boyz Formation

Mad Doc Drillteef’s long game is rooted firmly in his Big Meks. For this reason, the Big Meks of WAAGH! Drillteef rarely venture out of camp without a strong coterie of bodyguards to protect them and do the dirty work. Indeed, they stick by his side until he’s returned safely… unless, of course, it becomes be necessary to send the Boyz forward to sacrifice themselves in order to buy time for his escape! Until then, the Spanner Boyz are especially good at securing mechanical objectives of importance.

Formation:

1 Big Mek
1 unit of Boyz
2 Meks

Restrictions:

If no Dedicated Transport is selected for the Boyz unit in this Formation, then the Big Mek may not select the Mega Armor upgrade.

Special Rules:

Special Kunning, Da Best Inventions

Strict Orders: Both the Big Mek and the Meks in this Formation must join the unit of Boyz in this Formation at the start of the game. The Big Mek may only leave the unit after the end of Turn 4.

All Deez Wonderful Toyz: One model in the Boyz unit plus one for every 15 models in the unit may replace their shoota or slugga with one of the following for 15 points each: Deffgun, Burna, or Grotzooka. This is in addition to any Rokkit Launchas or Big Shootas they purchase. The Spanner Boyz may also elect to take a Battlewagon or Looted Wagon as a Dedicated Transport instead of a Trukk.

Lootin’ Skillz: While the Big Mek from this Formation is attached to the Boyz squad in this Formation, the unit enjoys the Objective Secured special rule. Note that this does not grant Objective Secured to the unit's Dedicated Transport.

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...
