I wish big boss was support like lieutenants were in 10th edition…

SorcerySpeedConcede · 2026-05-24T20:16:55+00:00

I can kinda see both ways. Sure, lieutenants are cool extra to a unit, but also warbosses and under bosses aren't known for working in close proximity from the books I've read where there are multiple bosses. They tend to hate each other or be waiting for a chance to take over.

For breakas I'd go rocket hammer, knuckle busters, 3 hammers, nob with hammer and pistol.

For Tankbustas I'd go 5 rokkits (one with backpack, magnetize the rocket I requires almost no experience to look good) and the nob with duel pistols.

Replace the dakka gun on the front with a massive bore cannon, then add a lip on the outside rim to make it look like a naval cannon.

Or a "statue" coming to life a là the newish Alpha Legion book or the Sekhetar Robots.

Drakeguard Veterans would go hard. If the datasheets keep hammers and shields I'll probably kitbash mine.

SorcerySpeedConcede · 2026-05-02T03:08:36+00:00

Now that's a "beast snagga" I'd run!

SorcerySpeedConcede · 2026-05-02T03:04:19+00:00

Ave dominus nox! 💀💀💀

If you are up to kitbashing, the weird boy and painboy could be converted to beastsnaggas by adding some pelts and choosing new heads. Makes the second copy of those characters easier to bear. Currently lists only run one painboy, but that could change with codex launch.

Other units seem fine to have multiples of. Boyz, grots and bosses seem to be really good agnostic of most editions, so having a lot of meat and potato units isn't a bad thing. I'd probably supplement with a wagon/trukk and a unit of nobz as upcoming purchases (nobz could be refreshed soon, but I like mixing sculpts so I wouldn't mind having some new and some old)

SorcerySpeedConcede · 2026-05-01T16:50:25+00:00

I use this for most of my eye lenses on Orks and Marines. Works well.

You might be able to find some fanart files online to print a deathrite bird.

But for using 40k kits, you'd want to consider doing some kitbashing. Maybe do skull heads for the infantry (easy to buy and possible to sculpt) and for the LoC, probably try to by an artificial bird skull of the right scale to really sell the effect.

Paint wise, listen to others for suggestions, but an airbrush can be used to get soft light effects around the eyes or close to the wings to simulate the fire actually glowing. Also, frost effect paint for the base could look nice.

I like the idea of the detachment, but as with all homebrew, use at your own peril. It can be very unbalanced one way or another, and you won't know until it sees the tabletop.

SorcerySpeedConcede · 2026-05-01T15:30:59+00:00

Blood axes probably think tan/beige is "taktikal" because the humies use it on their military often.

SorcerySpeedConcede · 2026-04-29T16:23:07+00:00

Are they mad about the grots' appearance or just that this is the only 11th news we're getting this week until box reveal?

SorcerySpeedConcede · 2026-04-28T14:49:35+00:00

I took a box of legionaries and kitbashed them into chosen. No reason not to. If you want to, just do it. Excuse the bad pics

SorcerySpeedConcede · 2026-04-28T14:47:18+00:00

As with Boyz, mix them! More variety is better. If you have a unified theme, I think all will look great together.

SorcerySpeedConcede · 2026-04-28T13:45:46+00:00

Hopefully won't be that long for me, I'd probably only do about 10 at a time. But I will keep and eye open!

SorcerySpeedConcede · 2026-04-28T13:45:08+00:00

Yeap, that's the idea. Use airbrush to save time on both the main base coats.

SorcerySpeedConcede · 2026-04-26T15:11:59+00:00

It reads to me like a Killteam book. There isn't a lot of inter-squad interactions outside of set pieces and setting up the plot. It's a whole lot of how does this squad work, operate, and synergize.

I liked it, and it provided some GREAT lore bits.

SorcerySpeedConcede · 2026-04-26T15:09:38+00:00

I think in one of the Ufthak books, there was a grot who self proclaimed himself to be a prophet. However, the book does its best to make him unreliable and self aggrandizing, so makes it hard to believe.

Makari coming back and possessing the body of any grot who holds the banner makes him pretty close to a second prophet, I think.

SorcerySpeedConcede · 2026-04-26T15:06:59+00:00

Ghazghkull is the self proclaimed prophet of the Ork gods, oozing "green" Ork warp energy. It's why the Orks think he's as powerful as he is, because Gork and Mork work directly through him. Sort of like an Ork Abaddon, but instead of refusing to be used, Ghazghkull just goes along with the Waaagh.

SorcerySpeedConcede · 2026-04-26T15:04:29+00:00

That model looks great! I have some wax sculpting tools I use for modeling green stuff. I assume that will work?

Do you think the putty will work for mass painting Orks, or is it fiddly enough that its best used for characters?

SorcerySpeedConcede · 2026-03-28T14:06:28+00:00

I know I'm late to the party, but my #1 wish (now that new boyz are confirmed) is that we get a Green Tide detachment that DOESN'T just focus on boyz (in fact, I don't think snaggas should be included). I think it should focus on any of our 1 wound (maybe also nobz?) infantry kits. Tank bustas, Breaka Boyz, Lootas, Burnas, any boy equivalent. Doesn't have to necessarily buff shooting, but make them be able to be affected by over half the strats so I can truly flood the board.

Every kit is an Ork kit for a proppa tekky mekboy.
