ITC Orc Terrain Series 2/2 - Customization

Image
I'm back to finally finish off the series with the Ork buildings from the  ITC terrain series . My ITC Orc battlefields have quickly become my favorite by far. They are really amazing. I especially love the L-shaped buildings and the towers, but the whole line is really gorgeous. In this video, I show you how I added some personal flair to the buildings (even though none is really needed... I just like being difficult). I also show you how I supplemented my terrain with some cool southwestern style hills. At the end, I show off how the paint came together and how the terrain looks with models on it. Check out the video for more and let me know what you'd like to see next in the comments below.   And remember, Frontline Gaming sells gaming products at a discount, every day in their webcart !

Orksvent 2016 Part 11: The Krork King

Image
A Krork King is not only a massive mountain of muscle and rage, but is also a genius in the theater of war. The organization of their own troop movements and the disposition of the enemy are second nature to the Krok King. The High Lords of Terra dread the day another Krork King rises to lead a massive WAAGH! across the galaxy, for when this happens, it is as if a Primarch has returned to the galaxy with the force of a hundred trillion seasoned warriors behind him. Hobby note:  A Krork King can be modeled on a 120mm oval base and may require a degree of modeling ingenuity. They should be about the size of a Bloodthirster. Indeed, that model with an Ork head and various Ork bitz could work well as a Krork King. Also, look to the Age of Sigmar line for more inspiration. Krork King Role:   Lord of War Points:  315 Unit Type:   Gargantuan Monstrous Creature (Character) Unit Composition:   1 Krork King            ...

Orksvent 2016 Part 10: Krork Tide Formation

Image
When a Paragon WAAGH! thunders to war, it is the march of the Krork Brutes which strike a hopeless fear into their enemies. While a tide of Ork Boyz can be managed by a liberal application of lasgun fire, the Krork Brutes keep coming, shaking off wounds that would fell the average greenskin warrior. The Krork Tide often forms the vanguard of a Paragon WAAGH!, breaking through the enemy lines, disorganizing the enemy position, and allowing more fragile or slower Ork units to make their way into the fray unmolested. Krork Tide Formation Formation: 1 of the following: Krork Megaboss Warboss Weirdboy 5 units of  Krork Brutes Restrictions: Units in this Formation may not select a Dedicated Transport Special Rules: Tide of Brutes ,  Brutal or Possibly Kunning , Hatred, Fearless Mobbed Up:  All the units from this Formation are deployed as a single unit. Only when every model in this unit has been destroyed will your opponent count as having killed th...

Orksvent 2016 Part 7: Krork Blood Magic

Image
Krork Blood Magic is a new psychic discipline that can be chosen for any Ork psykers selected with the Detachments and Formations in this supplement. Primaris: Blood of the WAAGH! - Warp Charge 1 Ork physiology is designed to embody the power of the Warp. It courses through every Ork and becomes even stronger as the Ork fights. The more desperate the battle, the more pronounced this is. Blood of the WAAGH! is a Blessing which targets the psyker manifesting the power. Remove from play d6 models of the controlling player's choice in the unit the Psyker has joined. For however many models were removed in this way, add that many Warp Charge points to your Warp Charge pool. In addition, the Psyker harnesses Warp Charges on a 3+ instead of a 4+ until the end of the phase. The unit is also Fearless for the duration of the Blessing. 1. Anuvver Go - Warp Charge 2 In the presence of a Weirdboy flogging them into a frothing frenzy, Orks become insatiable for battle, persisting e...

Orksvent 2016 Part 5: Paragon Orks - Krork Brutes

Image
Krork Brutes are the shock troops of an Ork WAAGH! which has reached Paragon status. The great WAAGH!bands which blaze a trail of death and destruction from one world to the next give rise to entire phalanxes of orks who are as big and mean as any Nob. The sheer weight and ferocity behind a Krork charge is enough to break even the sturdiest mortal troops and crumple any defense. Hobby note: Krork Brutes are best represented using the Age of Sigmar Orruk Brutes kit, the Ork Nobz kit, or a combination of the two. In either case, Orruk Brutes should be modeled on 40mm bases. For the Brute Boss Nob, any Warboss model in 'Eavy Armour is appropriate and should be modeled on a 50mm base. Krork Brutes Role:   Troops Points: 250 Unit Type:  Infantry. The Brute Boss Nob is Infantry (Character) Unit Composition:  9 Krork Brutes and 1 Brute Boss Nob                       WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv Krork Brute   ...

Orksvent 2016 Part 4: Paragon Orks - Krork Megaboss

Image
A Krork Megaboss has reached a level of brutality and cunning which few beings, let alone Orks, can ever hope to attain. He is a walking mountain of bravado and terror. He won't even notice the beam of a lasgun. A bolter round is an annoyance. Krak missiles do little more than get his attention. The appearance of Krork Warbosses but a myth throughout the Imperium. This is largely due to the fact that few survive an encounter with one. Hobby note:  Krork Megabosses can be modeled on 60mm round bases and may require a degree of modeling ingenuity. They should be about the size of a Daemon Prince . Indeed, that model with an Ork head and various Ork bitz could work well as a Krork Megaboss. Also, look to the Age of Sigmar line for more inspiration. Krork Megaboss Role:   HQ Points:  180 Unit Type:   Infantry (Character) Unit Composition:   1 Krork Megaboss                       WS BS S...

How to Paint Boyz Fasta

Image
I recently made a video about how to paint tabletop quality boyz faster.  My technique pretty much flies in the face of everything you've ever been told to do when painting Warhammer 40,000 miniatures, but it's what works for me.

Mad Doc Drillteef D.D.S. Refurbish Project

Image
I have been meaning to start a blog about my hobby progress and now seems as good a time as any. I just completed a short project involving the renovation of my WAAGH!'s warlord, Mad Doc Drillteef D.D.S. This is what he looked like before I started.  Of course, this isn't a terrible conversion.  He's got the giant, over-the-top 'urty syringe, drill, and mask on.  It's pretty obvious he's a big ass Painboy.  He's just gotten long in the tooth. My warlord should evoke my abilities as a hobbyist and I've grown a lot since then. So the Doc got cut up, which is fine because he's used to it. I rummaged through my bitz and found an old Enterprise nacelle I could use for the Nitrous tank as well as some pintle turret bitz. A snug fit.  I also added some chaos trophy poles.  I chose the one with Necrons and Space Marines because WAAGH! Drillteef hails from Ultima Segmentum and they are the WAAGH!'s main opponents. I used t...
