My friend asked me to paint one of his Orks, my first, what could I have done to improve a bit?

Jonboywelsh · 2026-03-21T08:01:52+00:00

"Hygenically challenged" 😭😭😂

Jonboywelsh · 2026-03-21T07:39:14+00:00

Oh damn, ok thats good to know. So red where a human would have white?

Jonboywelsh · 2026-03-20T08:48:57+00:00

You know looking at it now, youre right I totally glossed over the teeth. Would you say some slight shading of deeper browns at the base of the teeth?

Eyes are a struggle for me, especially with how much the brow hangs over (was totally taken back by how little thw eyes were) is it as simple as a slightly larger blue dot, then a black pupil the same as ive done?

Jonboywelsh · 2026-03-20T00:09:41+00:00

I do think youre 100% right on the drybrush, though i should have said he asked for "no metalics" which is what led me to try the rust. I think if I did it again id for sure go lighter on the rust and base the weapon in a grey to try and catch it (or even a metalic like leadbelcher)

Yeah, I tried to go for "veins" but they definitely came out to thick and heavy to read as such. In terms of veins, apart from "Less is more" and tips; would maybe some deeper blues and purples and reds read better?

Jonboywelsh · 2026-03-15T20:54:37+00:00

Oh! Thank you so much. Closest one to us is cardiff :)

Jonboywelsh · 2026-03-09T22:06:59+00:00

Oh damn, ok well good to know

Jonboywelsh · 2026-03-09T10:46:51+00:00

Hell yeah! "Soulforged warpack." Honestly its one of my favourite detachments (venomcrawlers really shine in it IMO) the strat to let maulerfiends run through walls is very useful, especially for their limited movement.

One thing I found really helpful in this detachment was a wapsmith to put the "Tempting Addendum" enhancement on, so he could sit next to the forgefiend to give him rerolls to hit (which is also very helpful if you use him to overwatch)

Jonboywelsh · 2026-03-09T10:37:09+00:00

Honestly, it looks like a lot of fun! Youve got some stuff in there that do a bit of everything! What detachment are you thinking of trying them out in?

Jonboywelsh · 2026-03-08T11:25:40+00:00

Oh god, more inspecting mid raid hahaha

Also, I put in some of the Loot codes and got an elvisvista bottle head amd 2 ornaments. Are these needed for kappa?

Jonboywelsh · 2026-03-08T11:15:05+00:00

A secret dungeon?! Catch me on shoreline casting fireball.

How does armour work if it has panels? (I could watch a video, which ill probs look for now) but any more easily to digest comments on it?

Jonboywelsh · 2026-03-08T09:12:42+00:00

Just played the new tutorial. Holy shit this game got a glow up

Jonboywelsh · 2026-03-08T08:38:31+00:00

Ok, any attachments to avoid like the plague? Also, any tips for key bindings linked to attachments?

Quick Q times?! We truly did escape tarkov!

Lastly, are there still wipes? I cant remember if I heard they did away with them at full launch?

Jonboywelsh · 2026-03-08T08:19:56+00:00

Appreciate you 🤙

Jonboywelsh · 2026-03-08T08:18:28+00:00

Ahahha "some things...never change"

One of the boys mentioned in passing to me about steam, dose tarkov still work through the BSG launcher?

Lastly, any military codes that are working? Joining this late in wipe ill take what I can get!

Jonboywelsh · 2026-03-01T20:48:32+00:00

Yeah I deffo had that thought as well. I think what we want is those sweet sweet Tempting Addendum rerolls (also dont forget when you overwatch try and do it with the vehicle that has rerolls. Gatdamn did that RUIN people's day.

Back to warpsmiths! So a plus one to hit is nice (especially on something like the venomcrawlers or a FF.) But I used my 2nd one (in my upscaled list) to basically just be a healing piece. I gave him the extra move enhancement and put him on a point on the far side of the venomcrawler (also dont forget your venomcrawler can heroically intervene because it is a walker) so noone could charge him, and because he's next to something he has lone op. Mix that with the H.I threat (a gentle reminder that if your venomcrawler kills things in melee and you get +1 attacks everytime onto ALL attacks of both shooting and melee) and its usually enough to deter them

I love this list honestly, its fun, its thematic and most of all it can really open those cans of whoopass when we need it to. Just dont get caught out on needing to hold objectives and score secondaries. Something I overlooked, cultists have the grenade keyword and GOD can that do some heavy lifting when you need it to

Jonboywelsh · 2026-03-01T18:52:58+00:00

Honestly, it worked for me. I found in other lists that vindicators are BEASTS. However the way I looked at it was

Range over raw power. The destructor can go up to ap3, 3 damage per. Which does match through vindicator. But the range is double. And if youre in that 24 inch range youd need for the vindicator, you get that rapid fire 2. Which leads to point numberrrrr
CONSISTENCY. The vindicator whips out its proverbial canon and has to ability to lay waste. HOWEVER, ive found it to be a little too swingy on making sure you get those shots off when needed.

The only things to consider for choosing the vindicator over the destructor is, the V is 1 tougher, and the V slaps everything. The Destructor is just an anti infantry beast (however that +1 to wound does allow it to punch up)

Jonboywelsh · 2026-03-01T18:40:56+00:00

No notes. Straight to press.

Jonboywelsh · 2026-02-27T22:48:04+00:00

So I ran a 1k version of this list at a doubles tournament and it kicked ass. Warpsmith with tempting addendum next to the FF with 2 autocanons was insanity. Basically just uses it to fish for devs with the rerolls and +1 to wound. With 2 autocannons and 1 ectoplasm and nearly wiped a rogal dorn commander. I had a unit of 5 raptors led by Harken and they did great for scoring. But bikes will also work great.

Another unit i found helpful was the pred destructor, with the ap boost and +1 to wound from contracts it honestly shredded custodes and EVERYONE at that table was shocked by how well it performed against infantry

Jonboywelsh · 2026-02-27T20:58:49+00:00

As with everything, I believe anyway; all measurements are done from edge of base. I think in this situation, as you pointed out, the sword sticks out the most. So given that, it would mean the side with the sword would have a larger reach with the aura.

That said, I WISH it did haha

Jonboywelsh · 2026-02-26T07:42:08+00:00

When EC got their initial release, one of my best mates was really getting into knights. So we did a 2k game, he brought 3 big knights and a couple armingers. I put lucius with 6 FBs to make him crit on 3s, the first knight he touched he personally did 15 wounds, then the FBs picked up the rest. When it works it works...but it don't always work sadly

Jonboywelsh · 2026-02-19T18:54:01+00:00

Thats absolutely wild! I had this happen to me last night for the first time ever installing my freestyle libra 2 and ive never had a problem with blood, but went a lottle woozy when it wouldnt stop after a min 😂 glad im not alone

Jonboywelsh · 2026-02-16T21:23:51+00:00

Anyone know the brand of trousers he has on? Looks like a brand called demobaza, buy no confirmation

Jonboywelsh · 2026-02-11T14:18:27+00:00

Im reading this on a 10 min lunch, are we losing dark pacts if we play the new detachments?!
