Orkbardment Rokkit

Ork Rokks are the tried and true method of Ork transport from space to planet-side. They not only are capable of delivering thousands of Orks into battle, but also serve as a ready-made base of operations.

Sometimes, however, Ork commanders need to make a more surgical strike in order to either distract an enemy from their main force or to take out specific targets which threaten a regular advance such as bombardment batteries.

Unit Type:

Vehicle (Transport).

Unit Composition:

1 Orkbardment Rokkit

Transport:

Transport Capacity: Thirty models

Dedicated Transport: Any unit which is allowed to take a Trukk as a Dedicated Transport may also take an Orkbardment Rokkit.

Special Rules: Deepstrike, Okrbardment!

Orkbardment! An Orkbardment Rokkit must be deployed via Deepstrike. When the Orkbardment Rokkit arrives via Deepstrike, place a Large Blast Marker where you want the Orks to be deployed and scatter it as normal. Place the Large Blast Marker on the table where it scattered to, placing any models under it, on it.. Before deploying the Orks, deal a strength 8 AP 1 hit to all models under the center hole of the template.

If the template is not under any enemy models, deploy the embarked Orks either on the Blast Marker or within 6” of the Blast Marker as if deploying from a transport.

If the template is under any enemy models, deploy the embarked Orks into close combat with any enemy models (including vehicles) on the Blast Marker or within 6” of the Blast Marker. These Orks and their engaged unit(s) will fight in the next Assault Phase as if they were involved with an ongoing combat.

In either case, after deploying the embarked Orks, the Rokkit explodes! The radius of the Str 4 AP - blast is 6+1d3” emanating from the center hole of the Blast Marker. The Blast Marker remains on the table as a crater.

Note that the destruction of the Orkbardment Rokkit does count as a unit destroyed for the purposes of victory conditions.

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...
