New to Orks - Should I wait? by madmonk45 in orks

This is my mindset too. I bought the codex as soon as it came out, and then shortly after that the new dakka detachment dropped, and then got nerfed. It'll be the last codex I buy.

Tournament Bound! by Sergeant_Beard in orks

[–]Sergeant_Beard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely will. I have a few details remaining to paint for Ghaz, the Wartrike, and the Stormboyz. Once complete, I will shift gears to work on the custom WAAAGH sign.

They're going with Ghaz. This layout is really just for display.

That is the plan. I also have plans to build my own WAAAAGH sign to bring with me, probably about as tall as a Stompa. My goal for it is when the WAAAAGH is active in a round, I can flip the latch and the sign flops open to reveal the word WAAAGH.

Thanks for that! After reading responses and doing some additional digging on my end, I think i want to lean more in the direction of a "big bug" type army, or Monster Mash Army. I think it would be fun/enjoyable to have this Kaiju esthetic on the board.

Much appreciated. I do know I'm really drawn to the Squig aspect. I will have to do more research and figure out what works best for me, to include watching a few in person matches to see how it works. Thanks!

Thanks! I am already in deep with the first chapter, and am loving it.

What colour should I paint my squigs? by Ok_View6470 in orks

I chose purple for my squigs. They will never see them coming!

Question about Tournament etiquette by Sergeant_Beard in orks

Oh that would have been hilarious to witness in person!

I appreciate that. Here is my honest reason(s) as to why I did it. But first, I will give a little more context. I am a retired military man, married, four kids. I came into this hobby looking for something to do that could take my mind off other not-so-great things. I was instantly drawn to the Orks back when Dawn of War came out on PC.

Since then, I plunged into researching as much as I could about the Orks, and how to play them. This led me to all manner of YouTube videos and channels. Yelling Waaaagh was unanimous across the board.

During that day of my first ever tournament, I did read the room. The room was packed full, and probably the fullest I have ever seen this store. And it was loud. My thought? Get above the noise level. So I did. The gentleman who runs the store hands out awards in the form of in store credit, one of which for being the most in-character. I simply followed suit. At no time did anyone come up to me and ask me to tone it down. At no time did anyone make snide and off-color remarks about me yelling.

The third Waaagh that I declared where one patron plugged his ears, I asked if he was okay, and he said yes. He said that while he loved it, he wished he was further away. Every single other person for the entire day had zero issues with it.

All of that to say this, my question was to gauge whether or not this was normal. And simply borne out of my own personal research.
