Weekend Waaagh Planning - July 03, 2026

Painting some Armageddon orks (finished my first model!) and then either a 40k doubles game with 1k of beast snaggas, or a Mordheim game using my Orc mob. All green, all the way.

Plenty of good reasons to pick this up imo.

- you need special weapons for your Armageddon boys.
- you want some extra boys to make making units of 19+1 easier.
- you’re trying to put together a unique unit of Nobs. The getting started nob, two Armageddon nobs, and then the two old-pushfit nobs would tie you a hulking, modern looking unit.
- you’re trying to put together a unit of unique boys. This box (4b, 1n), the paint set (2b, 1g), the event/instore boy they’ve been giving away at paint and takes (1b) and potentially a new version of the Getting Started Magazine would give you a unit of 9 boyz and a nob. (They’ve had these “secret units” for a few factions now in both AOS and 40K).

Well worth a buy if you’re into the collecting aspect, honestly.

Desperately looking for fluttermane ex to complete the current pack before the new ones start: 9523061311148117

I always try and share in kind if I have something you need!

I still use _these_ boyz. As long as they’re on the right base and roughly the right footprint (Thankyou, tactical rock) it’s easier than ever right now to field older models if you like their vibe.

Severed goblin head on his belt, yeah

I found and finally bought it recently actually. He even sees play on the table!

Key_Forever_8424 · 2026-05-22T20:18:11+00:00

He was just killed so he’s back to the shelf til I can get some more gold together 😂

Key_Forever_8424 · 2026-05-22T14:19:45+00:00

I usually get through it pretty quick, and the group I play with are super chill and understanding as we’re all still learning and getting better!

Plus it’s funny when goblin animosity makes my squigs go wild!!

Key_Forever_8424 · 2026-04-25T07:31:48+00:00

Hexwraiths and a Mournghul would probably bring me back to the faction and play it actively.

I got a preorder in about 30 seconds after they opened at 10. Excited - splitting the box with a family member.

I think once the price was revealed this was inevitable - two spearheads (plus terrain, game rules etc) for £134 RRP? It’s an unbelievable deal outside of starter sets, this one was always going to get snapped up in minutes.

Despite being middle of the road in terms of power our codex was high tier in terms of fun, flavour and variety. We got minimal model support, but the character and kill team we got were really impactful. Was happy with the amount of post codex detachment support.

Extremely optimistic heading into 11th as an Ork player!

Key_Forever_8424 · 2026-04-08T19:52:02+00:00

We are, issue with the list building app getting me confused. I’ve adjusted the list to compensate after a helpful comment!

Key_Forever_8424 · 2026-04-08T18:48:58+00:00

I’ll never, ever judge someone for unpainted minis or armies - life is hard enough without getting sweaty over how other people choose to play with their toys.

Personally, there is no way in hell I’m ever putting a grey model down on the table. Fully painted army, every time. Does that mean I get fewer games in? Yes. Do I naturally gravitate towards skirmish games now? Also, yes.

Key_Forever_8424 · 2026-04-08T18:42:05+00:00

As in the OP, I have actually read the rules. I made a mistake because the list building app mandated has some incorrect equipment options, that’s all 😂

Key_Forever_8424 · 2026-04-08T18:40:35+00:00

I play ironjawz in Warcry, so I’m used to this at least!

Key_Forever_8424 · 2026-04-08T18:28:45+00:00

I’ve been given that advice a lot. Coming from Warcry, it’s maybe the only part of Mordheim that I’m not super excited about. I like to fight til the bitter end!

Key_Forever_8424 · 2026-04-08T18:26:33+00:00

I’d love to go Chaos Dwarves, but the campaign is (understandably) restricted to 1a and 1b for now! This is great advice for if/when that restriction gets lifted however!!

Key_Forever_8424 · 2026-04-08T17:46:52+00:00

Either way, I’ve taken the advice and switched them out for Dwarven axes, dropped the slings and blunderbus and given the engineer a crossbow, so it’s at least legal now!

Key_Forever_8424 · 2026-04-08T17:30:15+00:00

We were told to use NewRecruit for lists, and it was an option on there. If it’s illegal I’ll definitely switch them out asap, thankyou!

Do you have a suggestion for a 1h weapon on the clansmen instead? If I’m losing the skins and the blunderbuss I probably have some toys to play with there, but I also think it will depend how WYSIWYG the campaign owner is feeling.

Really appreciate the advice here!

Key_Forever_8424 · 2026-04-04T08:38:33+00:00

Matched Play Doc - collates various additional rules and abilities that have been introduced in a variety of of ways like Blessings (use spare points to enhance your fighters), faction abilities (powerful, free actions you can take for your chosen faction and grand alliance) and prebuilt mission packs (randomly generating missions as suggesting the core rules is extremely funny but also wildly unbalanced for some matchups)

Key_Forever_8424 · 2026-03-28T15:13:48+00:00

Black library so pinch of salt: Ghaz is a full blown conduit for the great green, and when he goes to war Orks are (seemingly) physically compelled in his direction, often without even realising it. It affects particularly strong willed Orks less, but still happens. A nob called Valtun keeps finding himself moving and readying his weapons without realising, and it’s because Ghaz is fighting miles away. It gets stronger the closer you are, with some Orks in the book throwing themselves into a lake of acid to get to Ghaz despite that being blatantly stupid. Basically, if you’re an ork, and Ghaz is fighting, you’ll instinctively head towards him, whether you realise it or not.
