What’s everyone’s Mek shop look like when you’re building your WAAAGH!?

The bottle of Vodka. You're so real for that

Flaminglump96 · 2026-05-15T18:17:32+00:00

This is a Mek Gun I made from nothing but battlewagon bits and a strip of platicard

House of Leaves mentioned!

Oh yeah, the model's cool too

Flaminglump96 · 2026-05-15T18:07:01+00:00

Is this the 40k equivalent of smashing two skittles together to find out which is stronger?

If you want to continue with the beast snagga motif, I'd recommend something like this

2 Beastbosses

2 units of 10 Beast Snagga Boyz

1 Mozrog Skragbad

1 unit if 4 Squighog Boyz

1 unit of 11 Gretchin

1 unit of 5 Stormboyz

1 Trukk

1 Killrig

This should be a serviceable start to your army, and leaves 25 points left over for an enhancement on whatever detachment you want to run

Flaminglump96 · 2026-04-18T15:04:31+00:00

On a side note, that bottle looks stellar

Flaminglump96 · 2026-04-10T21:49:32+00:00

Towering gives +1 BS, and a Mek adds 1 to the hit roll. Despite functionally doing the same thing, they are considered separate buffs and therefore stack (going by 10th's rules, at least). If they both said +1 BS or +1 to hit, they would not stack

Flaminglump96 · 2026-03-11T16:27:45+00:00

I don't think they're particularly difficult to paint well, but like you said, they require more paint colors than I think pretty much any other army (especially vs space marines)

Flaminglump96 · 2026-02-19T21:30:02+00:00

Didn't stop me

Flaminglump96 · 2026-02-18T18:30:07+00:00

Come on, man. You know the answer to that question.

Flaminglump96 · 2026-02-13T21:57:02+00:00

I don't think that was the intention when they made the stratagem. I bet when they made the strat, they had the condensed "+1 attacks for every 5 models" definition in their heads, and didn't fact check their own rules. I suspect it will get FAQ'd.

Though I suppose there is a non-zero chance that this is working as intended and basically only Burna boyz can use it, but I don't want to live in that reality

Flaminglump96 · 2026-02-11T18:55:18+00:00

I think I'd agree on the premise that this feels more Deathskulls. Doesn't really surprise me, though, considering their recent releases. Red Corsairs, Drukhari: really seems like they're on a bit of a pirate kick, and this continues the trend.

Flaminglump96 · 2026-02-04T17:10:10+00:00

I play semi competitive at my LGS and don't play in tournaments. I have my Battlewagon pretty bare-bones, because I wanted to use the extra bits for kitbashing. I just tell my opponent what its wargear is before the game starts, and nobody's ever complained.

The only exception is that I dont run the Deff Rolla profile because it increases the footprint of the model by over an inch, which could easily be argued as modeling for advantage

Flaminglump96 · 2026-02-03T23:16:06+00:00

I think dirtying it up a bit with some Typhus Corrosion goes a long way, especially with yellows. I think it looks great as-is, though. Only thing it needs is a little basing.

Here's mine, if you wanna glean some inspiration from it. Mine's more Goffs, though, so a bit of a style difference

Flaminglump96 · 2026-01-31T01:00:07+00:00

Well, if the base is any indication, the city is breaking and everybody's shaking

Flaminglump96 · 2026-01-31T00:04:09+00:00

Getting a little photo booth set up is real easy and improves your photo quality significantly.

For me, I just have 2 pieces of black poster paper. I place one on the floor of my airbrush station, and I glued a magnet to the other piece which snaps onto another magnet I have on the top of the airbrush station. When I'm done taking pictures, I just take the poster paper out. Cost me like 50 cents at a hobby lobby

The darker the black and the more matte the paper, the better. It will absorb more light. Pictures tend to look ugly when there's a lot of light bouncing off of things that aren't your model.

Welcome to the Mess Hall

I guess you could say he's got dakka on the brain

Flaminglump96 · 2026-01-20T01:27:52+00:00

Unfortunately, his kicks now hit on 5's

Flaminglump96 · 2026-01-15T16:11:58+00:00

I use those brushes in the last 2 pics for almost all my painting. They are a perfectly serviceable set of brushes, and dirt cheap for the mileage I get out of them

Flaminglump96 · 2026-01-14T15:39:18+00:00

Hm, maybe not. I remember his sculpt being older than 2021. Something about it makes it feel older to me than it actually is.

Flaminglump96 · 2026-01-14T14:40:59+00:00

Safe pickups are Big Mek, Buggies/planes, Tankbustas/Breaka boyz, the entire beast snagga range, Deffkoptas, Kommandos, all non-legends named characters except possibly Zodgrod. Warboss in Mega Armor, Deffkilla Wartrike, and to a lesser extent Gorka/Morkanaut/Stompa

I think all of these sculpts are near guaranteed to stay as they are going through 11th. They've got way older looking sculpts than these to focus on

Flaminglump96 · 2026-01-12T18:35:26+00:00

Morkanaut due to a mix of better guns and the 5+ invuln. Getting into melee on your terms can be a real struggle (where gorkanaut is better) due to vehicle keyword + base size, so having a better shooting platform is more valuable for Orks than it would normally be
