Stitchboyz Formation




One of the most sought-after roles one can play in WAAGH! Drillteef is as a bodyguard to a Painboy. Some of the biggest thugs in the WAAGH! make their way up through the ranks in these positions. The unique nature of this, however, is that the bodyguards do not covet the position of the Ork they protect since the Painboy’s skillset is somewhat of a puzzle to them.  For this reason, the Stitchboyz have a unique perspective on what it means to be a bodyguard as compared to other Orks.


Formation:


1 Painboy, Painboss, or Mad Doc (referred to as Painboy from here on out)
1 unit of Nobz


Restrictions:


Only 1 Nob in the unit may take a Power Klaw upgrade and the unit may not take the WAAGH! Banner upgrade nor the Bosspole upgrade.  The unit of Nobz may not exceed 4 members.

Special Rules:


Special Kunning, Da Best Inventions

Strict Orders:  The Painboy in this Formation must join the unit of Nobz in this Formation at the start of the game and they must stay together for the duration of the game.

I’m a Doc, not a General:   The Painboy and Nobz from this Formation may be joined to any other unit to create a single unit.  They may leave that unit at any time as if they were all Independent Characters, though the Painboy may still never leave his unit of Nobz.  When joined with this other unit, they are treated as if they were a part of it for all purposes including Leadership, average toughness, feel no pain among them.   Throughout it all, the Painboy and his Nobz must remain in unit cohesion with each other at all times.

Look Out, Doc:  If a Nob from this Formation is the closest model to the Painboy when the Painboy makes a Look Out, Sir! attempt, the roll automatically passes.

Multi-Talented Assistants:  All Ammo Runts in this formation may be used to re-roll Feel No Pain as well as hits.

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

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 an army lik
