Diggaz Tanks

The Diggaz of Ghorok have are still quite adept at keeping their vehicles up and running, particularly their Leman Russ tanks. This heavy armor has given some of the Digga tribes an edge against the many Ork and Digga raiding parties throughout the hive.

I used weathering powders for this project and had some issues with their interaction with the clear coat. I had to go back and do some washes with Reikland Fleshshade to fix the discoloration. I also drybrushed the rust with some Leadbelcher in order to get the impression that the Diggaz have been moving around on the rusted machinery.



 






Renegades & Heretics Allied Detachment (680pts):

If I just want a small list with some Objective Secured and some high-strength shooting, here's the list I'll probably use. This will omit the Punisher tank. The Banner of Hate inside the Chimera should provide a fairly reliable fire base with decent morale.

  • HQ: Renegade Command Squad (8#, 195 pts)
    • 4 Renegade Command Squad, 195 pts (Banner of Hate; Command Net Vox; Shotgun x4; Grenade Launcher x1)
      • 1 HW Team w/ Lascannon (Lascannon; Militia Training; Sub-Flak Armour)
      • 1 Arch-Demagogue (Melta Bombs; Shotgun x1)
      • 1 Renegade Chimera (Heavy Boltgun; Dozer Blade; Pintle-mounted Heavy Stubber; Heavy Boltgun)
  • Troops: Renegade Infantry Platoon (30#, 195 pts)
    • 1 Renegade Infantry Platoon, 195 pts
      • 7 Platoon Command Squad (Militia Training; Autopistol x7; Grenade Launcher x1)
        • 1 HW Team w/ Lascannon (Lascannon; Militia Training)
        • 1 Renegade Champion (Shotgun x1)
      • 7 Renegade Infantry Squad (Militia Training; Autopistol x7; Grenade Launcher x1)
        • 1 HW Team w/ Lascannon (Lascannon; Militia Training)
        • 1 Renegade Champion (Shotgun x1)
      • 7 Renegade Infantry Squad (Militia Training; Autopistol x7; Grenade Launcher x1)
        • 1 HW Team w/ Lascannon (Lascannon; Militia Training)
        • 1 Renegade Champion (Shotgun x1)
  • Heavy Support: Renegade Tank Squadron (2#, 290 pts)
    • 1 Renegade Leman Russ Vanquisher (Militia Training; Lascannon)
    • 1 Renegade Leman Russ Vanquisher (Militia Training; Lascannon)

Renegades & Heretics Combined Arms Detachment (985pts):

The larger version of the army uses the Bloody-Handed Reaver ability to turn Veterans into Grenadier squads who get hot-shot laspistols. It also uses all the tanks and puts the heavy weapons teams into a single support squadron.

  • HQ: Renegade Command Squad (6#, 155 pts)
    • 2 Renegade Command Squad, 155 pts (Grenade Launcher x1)
      • 1 HW Team w/ Lascannon (Lascannon; Militia Training; Sub-Flak Armour)

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 ...

More Arm-Chair Game Design - The D

I was over on the Frontline Gaming forums chatting about D-Weapons in 40k when I had a little bit of an amateur game design thought about how to streamline the rules for D-Weapons in 40k.  It's clear that the primary issue is the alpha strike component of the rules which really make even fluffy games of 40k a bit of a snooze fest with entire swaths of models meeting their maker far too early in the game. Having said that, though, there are a lot of fun units which are allowed in Escalation which could be great fun.  Many of the Baneblades are really cool and, of course, my green heart adores Stompas of all variety. I'd like to suggest the following rule for use in friendly games of 40k whether the games be fluffy or competitive. D-Weapons are extremely powerful weapons which are not only deadly to the enemy but are also dangerous to operate. The power sources and mechanisms involved are among the most arcane and complicated in all the galaxy. As such, these powerf...
