Orksvent 2016 Part 9: Da Kaptin's Banner Formation

When a massive Krork Megaboss marches to war, he brings his most practiced and violent iron-thewed warriors along with him. These Krorks, aided by the ministrations of a powerful Weirdboy, are an inspirational beacon of violence the battlefield. Few foes can stand before their blood-drenched majesty.

Da Kaptin's Banner Formation

Formation:

1 Krork Megaboss
1 unit of Krork Brutes
1 Weirdboy
0-3 Warbosses
0-1 Big Mek
0-1 Painboy

Restrictions:

None

Special Rules:

Tide of Brutes, Brutal or Possibly Kunning

Da Boss: If your Warlord is chosen from this Detachment, they may re-roll their Warlord trait.

Da Kaptin's Krew: All models in this Formation must be placed in a single unit which counts as 1 Kill Point in missions which call for them.

Lead by Example: On a turn in which the Krork Megaboss from this formation successfully completes a charge, all other friendly Ork units on the battlefield add an additional 1d6" to their charge distance for the duration of that assault phase.

Brutality is a Kunning all its own: On a turn the Krork Megaboss from this formation calls a WAAAAGH!, units declare which enemies they are assaulting after rolling the dice to determine charge range instead of before.

One with the WAAGH!: The Weirdboy from this Formation harnesses warp charge on a 3+ (or a 2+ under the effects of the Blood of the WAAGH! power). In addition, any model in the unit enjoys a 6+ invulnerable save when under the effects of a Blessing.

Options:

Da Banner of WAAAAGH!: One Krork Brute may be given a WAAGH! Banner for 20 pts.

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...
