Two New Gorkanauts

The cloud of Ork vessels hurling towards the ongoing big fight in Ultima Segmentum is not only crammed with Orks, but billions of tonnes of heavy machinery. Among them are Big Mek Dreadnutz's Dread Mob. Among these clanking gods of war are two new machines.

Kommandos in the field reported back to Dreadnutz that an army of Beakies with shiny, yellow armour called the Lamentors had finally received some reinforcements, so they were worth a proppa fight. Of course, Dreadnutz sent all the burnas and lootaz he could spare to attack the Beakies and take whatever they could. Although severely diminished in number, the Orks were able to return with one of the Beakies' beautiful new vehicles. As such, the Repulsork was born!

Look at these worky bitz!

So much dakka! Perhaps still not enough!

The Repulsork has already had a few early victories!

Dreadnutz has also created a Gorkanaut to convey his personal bodyguard of Meganobz into battle. Of course, the Gorkanaut is quite formidable in its own right.

Torontegosh!

Here's the list I'm going to use at the club tonight in order to try out the new war machines. This list is awful, but I love it. The idea is to make an Orky Imperial Knights list with the hangers-on you'd expect to find alongside a Big Mek's Dreadmob.

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

WAAGH! Drillteef
