WAAGH! Drillteef

These brave Orks were able to "tame" a Chaos Heldrake during the Warp Jump to their first conquest. It has actually become a bit of a ritual for some of the Orks of WAAGH! Tuska to brave the underbelly of their Kroozers at the start of an invasion in order to take control of the Heldrakes latched on there and use them in battle. And another group shot this one is far more impressive.  We're sitting at 2029 points painted with the following loadouts:

Completed the commitment for September... all the remaining "Daemony" guys and Cultists. Tuska himself, ready to put a whomp on with his 'uge klaw... The Possessed Nobz. Hopefully they look like they have a 3+ save! The ventriloquist is my favorite... The Orks aren't the first to arrive and fight on the Blood World. Many Human warriors have stepped forward to fight and die here. These Cultists have risen to fight for the glory of Khorne once more! Everything I've completed so far. A little over 1500pts worth... What remains are the vehicles and piggy stuff. I'm still in the process of purchasing more pigs, so I'm moving on to the Heldrake now.

It's been quite an eventful month full of a lot of building. I really ought to post some tutorials on some of the builds I have been doing. For now, here is my latest completed project. They are very fast, and very very angry at Psykers. It's Tuska's Murderpack! The formation requires two squads of CSM on bikes, so these models represent what I believe to be probably the most heinous counts-as in the entire army. I hope they at least look like they've got a 3+ armor save. Since they aren't Daemons, I did not give them the red skin that my Bloodletters and most of the rest of the army are going to have. Instead, they got normal Orky green skin. The Bikes were originally acquired in a trade and they were actually almost painted to where I needed them, just about a level 1 standard. I added a ton of armor bitz, including Chaos Space Marine backpacks supplied by my buddy, Pat. I also added a Zzapgun to the side of each bike in place of the normal weapon. This is...

We have been playing a campaign in which WAAGH! Drillteef is assaulting key locations in the Pakeshi Sector in search of information leading to their ability to summon forth Tuska onto the field of battle. This battle report details the Orks raids within the city proper itself, both as a distraction and with minor objectives in mind.. This Narrative Battle Report first appeared on Episode 32 of Masters of the Forge . ~ * ~ Codicer Djalix T’song was annoyed. The Orks were a menace to be sure, but his annoyance overwhelmed any other emotions the Imperial Creed demanded of him. The Orks had followed them from Shatara to Pakeshi IV. Certainly the Orks wouldn’t be in search of the same thing as they, so their presence must be attributed to terrible luck. To lose one system to overwhelming force was one thing, but to allow a splinter group get a foothold in a neighboring system was a blow to honor that he couldn’t allow. This compounded T’song’s annoyance. There was no extric...

We have been playing a campaign in which WAAGH! Drillteef is assaulting key locations in the Pakeshi Sector in search of information leading to their ability to summon forth Tuska onto the field of battle. This story details the Orks' landing on the planet and their initial assault. This Narrative Battle Report first appeared on Episode 28 of Masters of the Forge . ~ * ~ Captain Nedry Blaise hadn’t quite gotten used to the acrid odor of the Pakeishi IV chem fields. The atmospheric scrubbers dotting the region’s landscape worked day and night to counter the outgassing of chlorine and other dangerous substances from the world’s massive standing pools of waste chemicals. While the air was technically breathable, they did little to negate the smell and, nevertheless, many of the rank-and-file wore gas masks which they were required to purchase with their own meager stipend. They were not provided as standard kit, though, as the need for a mask was negligible if a soldier di...

We have been playing a campaign in which WAAGH! Drillteef is assaulting key locations in the Pakeshi Sector in search of information leading to their ability to summon forth Tuska onto the field of battle. The first stage of this conflict is Shatara. This Narrative Battle Report first appeared on Episode 26 of Masters of the Forge . ~ * ~ The remnants of the WAAGH! Drillteef flotilla prowled the Pakeshi sector. It was an ornery lioness stalking a cage, daring anyone to test its mettle. Of course, although these Orks had chosen to stay with Mad Doc, many of the warlords under his banner had done so only to bide time until they could ultimately assume control themselves. Drillteef had to strike fast. Drillteef and his chief advisor, Big Mek Skar ‘Ead had grand designs within the Pakeshi sector which he kept secret from most of his generals, though it was really meaningless. Any fight would do at this point and he set his intentions on the Shatara system. Shatara is a lones...

In October of 2013, I was contacted by a fellow Freeboota to custom build one or two Reaver Titans. My memory of the original request was for one, but I shortly realized it was for two. In return, I received some Sisters models, 4 and a half Immolators, 2 Exorcists, and some of infantry. Even though the base models, which were a couple of old Terminator toys, arrived in November, I though I could do it in a few short months. I really didn't have any idea what I was getting myself into. I'd done Ork stuff before, sure, but that's nothing compared to building Imperial models. The lines have to be at least somewhat straight and the entire model needs to be gap-filled and sanded from top to bottom. I'd like to say that I succeeded. Even though I didn't get it done in the time I was shooting for, I think the customer knew I was crazy for setting such a short goal anyways. He does his own custom Titans as well. Since December of 2013, I've spent over 192 hours (...
