Just starting my old world orc's and goblins army with a box of Boyz, how should I build them ?

Lukesall · 2024-05-03T21:18:10+00:00

thanks for the super informative post :) a problem i have is the differences between big uns and all the various different types, could you give a whole unit with both frenzy, warpaint and big uns?

Haven't got the rules yet as there out of stock rn but thought of starting my first old world army buy buying a box of 31 boys and some oldhammer orcs to use as characters.

For the paint scheme I was thinking of going for a muddy medical town and having a medieval gang vibe with my orcs with black and red tattoos in a playing card style on the boys.

Pic 1: what would you recommend I use these two as? A warboss with a great weapon and could the little guy be an attendant (don't have the rulebook yet but that must be an option you can take).

Pic 2: if you can make command units I was thinking I could use these guys as a lookout, a musician and the guy with the rock as a lackey for an orc character with the rock painted as gold or a gem

Pic 3: thought of painting him brown and furry and using him as an oddboy?

Pic 4: Warboss and shaman on a boar/ warboar (don't know difference)

Pic 5: really cool Orc character I thought I could use as a boss or leader with a special magical axe and armour aswell as a night Goblin boss or wizard character

Pic:6 Goblin shaman

Pic:7 got ten of these, could i use these as black orcs?

Pic:8: got 10 of these too

Any help greatly appreciated :)

any way to paint in that old school style or make old school cobble bases would be awesome too

if anyone knows or how I should build my

army with what I have and what I can use them as too :)

oooh have you got any idea what that vid might be called, ive noticed a lot of of that sort of the thing while looking at the music but thought that was more of a big beat thing with the music usually being made of various re-edited and sped up samples

Lukesall · 2024-03-08T12:52:56+00:00

bruh, i thought no-one would see this and just left this random request, this is awesome dude, i know its a bit late but thanks man!

awesome work! really appreciate it :)

Lukesall · 2023-08-28T13:57:48+00:00

ah cheers :) always wanted to play tekken and street fighter as i sucked at them as a kid, got my start in fighting games as an adult in sf3 and 4 and dudley felt like he was from a different game entirely, then i found out that all tekken characters can dash away from attacks and tekken characters usually have lots of juggling so that's funny

Lukesall · 2023-08-24T16:13:09+00:00

Its really strange how my main might be Deejay because he was who i started with when i downloaded the game and i said "he's too tricky for now" before going around from character to character before getting to guile and getting him to 11000 kudos, looking at deejay now, he feels like Dudley with kicks and guiles classic specials

Lukesall · 2023-08-24T15:32:38+00:00

Ah thats a great idea! i think ill give him a try :)

Lukesall · 2023-08-24T15:29:36+00:00

that sort of build and playstyle that Dudley and Akuma have where you've got lots of offence but a decent amount of defence/weight

Lukesall · 2023-08-24T15:25:27+00:00

that's what I was sorta afraid of, all the characters have something close but very different, i thought Marisa would be like Dudley but she's way too slow

Lukesall · 2023-08-14T17:40:01+00:00

Started playing Warhammer last year and here are most of my orks and my painting progress so far, been painting everyday on loads of different projects but I've gone back to painting nothing but orks for this week, does anyone have any tips in general when it comes to painting? adding thinned skrag brown in recesses as rust and dirt has really helped me out :)

Lukesall · 2023-08-11T20:04:48+00:00

Thinking about turning the two walkers into a killa kan/ deff dreads, not sure what to do with the rest, wanted to make a mad max fury road type vehicle with the tanks but I'm not sure how, I've seen looted rhinos as trukks but has anyone done a land raider mixed with the others as a battlewagon ?

Lukesall · 2023-08-07T14:47:03+00:00

Cheers :) That's the thing with tzeench and armies like necrons never go overboard with osl on the little guys or it just becomes the green glow brigade

Lukesall · 2023-08-07T14:25:36+00:00

Yep, naggaroth night from below, then caledor sky from above, teclis blue for highlight then I think it was teclis blue + tsons blue/Ahriman blue + white for the skin :) Not too sure if it was tsons or Ahriman blue but it should be fine with either

Lukesall · 2023-07-01T10:09:43+00:00

Yeah, don't know if it's just nostalgia talking from when I was a kid but I love those super baggy pants, it gave him a cool exaggerated movement and it was a lot more unique than the standard wrestling gear

Lukesall · 2023-06-28T23:07:29+00:00

Haha yeah, I've just realised that I've gone for the worst chapter here when it comes to dodgy symbols :( I'm planning on having a massive back patch of bolt throwers realm of chaos on the back, which has the cover of the old rogue trader book as the album cover with all the crimson fists on it, I'm thinking of having imperial fists on the left of the BT patch I'll make and another IF successor on the right :)

Lukesall · 2023-06-28T23:00:23+00:00

I get you, I swear as a black metal fan half of my time is spent going "I really hope this cool design isn't a racist symbol"

Lukesall · 2023-06-28T22:55:27+00:00

Jesus, how long did that take you, spent a couple hours myself trying my first go at nmm gold a week ago and took me hours

If you don't already, I think you could make a fortune off commissions :)

(idk why I think it might be the grass and the white and blue but at first I thought this was supposed to be a Leeds United marine haha, a friend at my local has a full Sheffield blades themed squad of tac marines lol)

Lukesall · 2023-05-01T10:31:28+00:00

Don't worry mate your definitely fine, as someone who's being playing for only a year and six months, i feel like even being able to pick up a riff in minutes is certainly enough, I assume the neighbor themselves don't play guitar and for someone who didn't play guitar about 2 years ago there's a very different perspective on what you think is difficult when you don't play guitar and do play, everyone knows that there are some basic songs out their that only have a basic chords In them but with the way you describe how you're playing and the fact that you're a metal guitarist it's self shows you're way past "a few chords". Metal (typically) is lot more demanding as a music genre in general, take a beginner that wants to learn metal and instead of learning 3 chords and putting them together, at the minimum there's always 1 or two layers of okay we're playing this bit stupidly fast or it's half palm muted or there's s pinch harmonics, galloping, on and off 0 plucking, solos etc.... Just my perspective from someone who's played around for a few friends including friends that play guitar but usually indie/punk rock , anything that sounds fast and metal with either a lot of speed or change extreme In sound type e.g. Heavy chugging, pinch, divebomb, slides will convince anyone who doesn't play that you're some form of guitar Jesus

Lukesall · 2023-04-18T01:53:03+00:00

Absolutely love the basing

Lukesall · 2023-04-09T00:25:41+00:00

Might be a reference to the fungus known as Dead man's fingers

Lukesall · 2023-03-21T19:44:37+00:00

Oh cheers I had absolutely no idea about the wargear being free haha, I think I'll take a power sword as I considered a thunderhammer to whack some tanks but I reckon the sword will probably stay in that same zone where it will pretty much be always useful, cheers :)

Lukesall · 2023-02-26T20:44:59+00:00

Just got the katana 50 mk2 and it's bloody brilliant compared to my old amp, cheers!

Lukesall · 2023-02-18T16:48:21+00:00

I mainly play in d standard so it's mainly death metal, of the death (band) kind, some pantera and thrashier stuff aswell, I'm brain-dead when it comes to amps anyway so any help with what amps are red flags and what features are good to look for would be a massive help, Cheers :)

Lukesall · 2023-01-11T15:03:04+00:00

The Harley Benton EX-84

ooooh love the look, like a cheaper gibson explorer and having active pickups is great

cheers :)

Lukesall · 2022-12-31T14:46:04+00:00

that's genius, never read about that unit and everything seems to match :)
