WAAGH! Drillteef

As I finish up models that have been sitting in my queue, I've been doing army shots including them. Last week, I finished up the knight models I had lying around. The lore for Knight House Draco has advanced in the Era Indomitus. The house's pencheant for daemon fighting has caught the eye of the Ordo Malleus and they have been brought into the fold. Their worlds have been put under communications blackout and household forces sworn to the crusade against the Ruinous Powers. They are now known as the Ordo Draconis and even Greater Daemons tremble at the mere mention of their name. Tiamat Drogon Gojira Melificent Falcor Smaug Jabberwocky Jormungandr The Eye Stalkers

Dacla was once a glittering pleasure world, but with the emergence of the Cicatrix Maledictum, now you can't throw a rock anywhere on the planet without hitting a prefabricated fortification. An entire battlefleet's worth in bastions, defense lines, and fortresses have been dropped or erected in order to bolster Dacla as a burgeoning Fortress World. What's more, the planet is a staging ground for some of the Imperium's most elite units. As such, this makes Dacla rather difficult to ignore by the Orks. Big Mek Sizzlegrub has been working tirelessly with all the insights he's gained from his adventures in the Somnium Stars, so his time is spread thin. As such, he has equipped many of his generals with various ingenius experiments and sent them off to test against appropriate targets. Chief among these inventions have been improvements to the Shokk Attack Gun design and Traktor Kannons. What better way to test these devices than against the formidable Deathwing? ...

After over-extending his resources throughout the sector, Big Mek Sizzlegrub fell back to his palatial holdings on Ragnarork in order to refit and refuel his war machine. A pair of Evil Sunz Weirdboyz dwelled in that place, working with Sizzlegrub's meks to devise wily methods of transporting their forces throughout the sector. The ancient reliquary had been home to many ancient relics which the greenskins had either cast aside or used in the construction of Sizzlegrub's more esoteric projects. It was during this time that the Custodes came to reclaim these relics. Even though many golden-clad warriors gave their lives under the swarming tide of muscle and teeth, their Captain's heroic charge could not be turned by the Orks, no matter how much pressure they put on him. In the end, Sizzlegrub was forced to fall back and lick his wounds, allowing the Custodes to sieze the Reliquary and tend to their casualties unmolested.

Between the insidious corruption of Chaos and the epidemic levels of infestation by the Hive Mind, portions of Shadrac have slipped completely from the Imperium's grip. The Emperor's finest have done their best to halt the advance and purge whatever large populations of the enemy they can find, but their efforts are doing little to quell the surge of enemy presence. As such, the Ordo Xenos conveniently leaked knowledge of a hidden Vortex ICBM to the Diggaz of Ghorok. Having recently fallen back from the city centers of Hive Shelob where the enemy presence is thickest, Commissar Wrathberg didn't need instruction as to how the missile should be implemented. Unfortunately, the Ultramarines caught wind of the Diggaz' plans thanks to the prescience of their Chief Librarian. Guilliman was content to allow the Genestealer Cult and Chaos Cult fight amongst themselves in Hive Shelob while containing them there. Moreover, there were still loyal Imperial citizens stranded in p...

Back in the Fold The Ordo Xenos has kept extremely close tabs on the Diggaz of Ghorok, known more recently as the Shatara 1st Regiment. The humans of that distant world had spent decades fighting the greenskins while not only surviving but thriving in opposition to the Xenos.  Under the command of Commissar Moira Wrathberg, the Regiment had been stress tested against several Xenos threats since their re-indoctrination into the Astra Militarum. They had excelled at every engagement. As such, the Regiment's strength had been bolstered from other populations with similar experiences from throughout the Imperium.  In the past, humans living under brutal Orkoid regimes are found in such wretched states of madness that they had to be given the Emperor's Mercy, but under the guidance of those who had been through it and come out the other side, these people learned to harness their experiences into rage against their former oppressors. This was enough for the Ordo Xenos an...

It's been a while since I've had this entire army arrayed in a photo, but a lot of models have been added since then. This army is extremely spiky and prone to damage, so it's good to get it out now and again simply to repair it.

With the coming of the new codex, WAAAGH! Drillteef's points level dropped dramatically and I've been playing catch-up ever since. Also, I have decided to separate WAAAGH! Tuska from the points total; I really feel like that's a totally different army and it's disingenuous to include it. So, as such, we have 7000 points to crawl back to 30k. This is fine. Many other collectors are happy to include titans and such at this point and I think it's high time I did so. This army does not yet have a Battle Fortress or a Gargant. I think I should do both very soon. The Battle Fortress has rules, but there is, as yet, no Gargant. I will likely just use an Imperial counterpart to build something similar and just give it the Ork keyword and drop its BS to 5+. I aso want to do a proper Stompa Mob, so I'll need a few of those.
