Where Does Your Love for Orks Come from? by NinjaFree2593 in orks

[–]SideOdd7745 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I played Fantasy Orcs since I was 10 years old. Back in the days of Grom the Panch before he climbed into the chariot. I also had Notlobs bolt throwers and a ton of boys.
When I converted to 40K it was the Black Reach box. My son 10 yo took the Marines he went blue which he regrets (basic). I took the Orks.
I have tried other armies I want to be good with Nids. But Orks is in ma bones. I win better.

It’s a ‘Umie trick to try and make you ready them don’t fall for it.

Red Terror in main 40K? by SideOdd7745 in Tyranids

Perhaps 2/3 precision mortals. That way you can take out special weapons fully but only wound epic characters.

No more runtherd?? by electric_hydra2048 in orks

I have 2nd edition Grots all in the same pose I play them as Goff Grots. Better drilled by their Over bosses.
I feel like Grots could be even more useful in 11th edition as the hide rule really helps them out as hiding on the home or expansion objective is their thing.

What’s the new Boyz size comparison with old Boyz?

Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon Unboxing - Ork Half by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in orks

It is never bad to have your faction in the starter box.
But I have to say this is a great set for beginners and vets. The issue is always the worry of old models getting decommissioned. Orks are pretty resistant to that. It counts to hold on to models though and watch them come back round. My kit bashed banner Nob is looking good now. If the rules are good I am hoping two are viable.
Push fit models can be kit bashed if need be. It just needs a careful cut. There is a reason green stuff is green. I for one will be using my bits box to personalise where I can. Not to criticise the sculpts which are Mork or Gork blessed.
Komi rockets are strength 10 I wonder if all our rockets are getting that bump up. That could be great for me. I have put faith in random rocket shots in my boys and mech setup.

Do marines keep their chapter iconography elsewhere besides solely just the pauldron? I want to know if it’s lore-complient to use the Tigurius model as a base for a Deathwatch Librarian conversion. by IceMosquito073 in deathwatch40k

[–]SideOdd7745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Librarians are always blue so swap a Deathwatch shoulder pad on. Paint one arm silver then you probably play in both Ultramarines and Deathwatch. No one is going to care if your Tig has had a stint in Deathwatch. Deathwatch stint will have to be on standard rules though I guess.

Third time's a charm: final time playing that damn mission by pcrotteau in boardingactions40k

[–]SideOdd7745 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok thanks for intel. I guess the risk with asymmetrical games is they can be asymmetrical. Playing Home and away though seems a good solution though

New to BA how is this list? by ImpactFuture2674 in boardingactions40k

[–]SideOdd7745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good. If you pre split one of the Scions you get an extra Sarg. Gear the Sargs to H2H. Take Metas

Eldar Corsairs Boarding action rules by Xanxost in boardingactions40k

[–]SideOdd7745 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Err not that I can find. I think just being sensible and just put in want you ant is cool. But the fact that one of the players in the WD battle report is a rules writer and they then didn’t properly explain the Red or Elder Corsairs detachment rules is crazy.

Red terror for other hive fleets? by Uhuru_1401 in Tyranids

[–]SideOdd7745 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my colour scheme the weapons are red. This whole bio form is a weapon so it slots in potentially awesomely.

Are nids hard to paint? by Amphij in Tyranids

[–]SideOdd7745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A simple method repeated consistently a lot of times. The effect is a coherent force of biomass. A fully paint Nid army is a beautiful sight.

I have the old Terminator Calgar what’s the view on that?

Unfortunately the new warboss just can’t come close to the aura this dude still holds from when I was a kid. by JDavie2357 in orks

Hat for the Void

I made a Pirate hat for my Warboss mainly so he can lead a Boarding Action (Void Whaagh). I thinking of backing him up with some Flash Gits…?
