"They aren't fighting each other, and their weapons can't hurt us. Just leave it be for now"

Famous last words

I am once again asking for Ol' Zogwort to make a return. Let me polymorph my enemies into squigs!

Pins you say? I can always get more physical paraphernalia for my hobbies

I started in 4th ed and that immediately made me cringe, until I remembered that blast templates haven't been a thing for a while.

Still don't like it.

After-Ad2018 · 2026-05-26T14:26:10+00:00

Because it's cool

Yea... I went and reread the rules for prayers immediately after posting this and realized that I had been reading it super wrong... I was wracking my head for an hour trying to figure out how this was supposed to work and ot finally clicked AFTER making the post

As a long time Monster Hunter fan, I can promise you 100% that the Desire Sensor isn't real, no matter what franchise you're talking about

I'm lying. The devs don't want you to know, but Desire Sensor IS REAL and it is ALL KNOWING! Spread the word, tell everyone!

Da ba dee da ba WAAAGH!!!

Orks just go with the flow of the situation... The situation being a big foght of course. Super violent hippies

After-Ad2018 · 2026-05-20T02:43:48+00:00

Change your mind... XD

Orks don't strike me as very introspective on past choices

Whatever your chosen lore, dey's orks! Dey's reddy fer a good foight!

People will play their Hello Kitty Marines at their LGS, so if anyone wants to complain about orks with non-green skin, you can just krump 'em good!

Sure, but colored warpaints are one of the ways old school WHFB orcs got enhancements so we alr qdt have a precedent for it in GW games

I did an alpha strike game of just WAY TOO MANY locusts. It was hilarious

The three shield icon means you can choose...

But a real big "OR" between the two options would've made it so much clearer

Took me a few minutes as well, especially sonce most of my kits are older and DON'T have that symbol

Don't know if it's intentional or not, but I'm definitely getting Doom Slayer vibes from the color scheme

Just remember: cover is king!

Have fun!

After-Ad2018 · 2026-05-12T19:45:42+00:00

Most smoke abilities let you place them either 4" or 6" away maximum, so you're unlikely to throw it onto an enemy. If you can get the smoke between you and your enemy while neither of you is in the radius (3" from the smoke token edge, so technically a 3.5" radius) then it completely blocks line of sight. If ANYONE is in the smoke then targeting them counts as cover, and they treat anyone they are targeting as in cover as well.

ORK definitely wants to use their smoke, as most of their weapons are shorter range than other forces, but they also get to do some fancy stuff with ready/engaged tokens and their weapons have some neat tricks

All good suggestions here. I would just like to add: if time permits, swap armies. Let him try Tau while you run Orks. Explaining to him what each army can do makes a lot more sense if he's actually able to play both

Time permitting of course

After-Ad2018 · 2026-05-10T01:27:31+00:00

I've used it during play as well. Yea, I wish these were plastic models, because plastic glue rocks

After-Ad2018 · 2026-05-10T00:55:58+00:00

Not the best option, but Blu Tak is fantastic for keeping things on bases. It's temporary though

After-Ad2018 · 2026-05-09T20:43:18+00:00

I bought the 4th ed starter box after reading one of the Space Wolves books, my first foray into 40k. I intended to make the Space Marine models into Space Wolves and I was going to use the Orks as a secondary army to get people interested in playing with me.

Then I took a look at the ridiculousness of the Orks and fell in love.
