Check out the rest of the Orksvent days!



Tellyporta Mob Formation

Some Warbosses have daring and kunning that borders on stupidity.  Instead of plodding along in space (which can be quite a hassle, some Ork leaders have taken to using Tellyporta teknology to invade planets.  It’s not always the best tactical decision and it is never safe, but it certainly gets a lot of boyz across the galaxy pretty fast.

Formation:


  • 1 Warboss
  • 1 Big Mek
  • 3 Units of either Boyz or Warbikerz. 


Restrictions:


  • The Warboss and Mek must, together, join one of the other units from this Formation at the start of the game.  
  • The Boyz and Warbikerz must be filled to the maximum number of models allowed by their unit description.
  • Models which are not a part of this Formation may not join units in this Formation before units in this Formation have arrived from Deepstrike.
  • Units in this Formation may not select a Dedicated Transport.


Special Rules:


Tellyporta Attack:  All units in this Formation must arrive via Deepstrike.  If a unit from this Formation suffers a Deepstrike Mishap because it would be touching an enemy unit, then when you roll for the mishap and roll a “1” on the chart, instead of destroying the Deepstriking unit, place it in close combat with the enemy unit which is closest to the initial Deepstriking model.  Resolve the placement of models as you would normally in close combat:  engage with as many enemy models in the unit as possible while maintaining unit coherency.  Neither unit counts as having charged that turn and neither unit is allowed to benefit from Furious Charge, Counter-Attack, Hammer of Wrath, or any other special ability which is triggered when either unit charges.

Not All There Yet:  On the game turn a unit from this Formation arrives from Deepstrike, it has a 4+ invulnerable save.  Additionally, any wounds a unit from this Formation causes on the game turn it arrives from Deepstrike can be ignored with a 4+ invulnerable save as well.

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...
