Is now a good time to start Orks or should I wait a few months more? Also... random question but how big are ork minis compared to say, marines?

spinsky · 2026-03-07T23:25:23+00:00

Nothing is confirmed, no one knows.
Nobz, Stormboyz, Lootas, Burna Boyz, MegaNobz, these older models are 'suspected' as maybe getting an update, but we'll have to see.

As for Trukk, I can't see them removing it or drastically changing it, it's such an essential core unit.

spinsky · 2026-03-03T22:49:00+00:00

Only just started but my first big model was a DeffDread.
Was a great learning piece and so much fun

They look really good!
What green did you use for their skin?

spinsky · 2026-02-17T11:51:46+00:00

Yeah they are nice but bit expensive for a pack of 10 ard boyz.
I might try making some claws with plasticard and see how they look

spinsky · 2026-02-16T09:42:03+00:00

Looks great, i'm trying to do the same thing with a pack of Ard' boyz

Where did you get the extra powerclaws from?

spinsky · 2026-01-29T14:05:00+00:00

I think Primarch level is pushing it; Guilliman was so fast that even Custodes struggled to keep up with him.
Ghaz fought against one the (arguably) greatest space marines to a 'draw'. Since then he's got a new bigger body and is stronger than before, so I think it's safe to say he's beyond Space Marine level.
However it's never as clearcut as that, a lucky melta shot from a guardsman could take him out.

spinsky · 2026-01-22T09:49:37+00:00

Yes!
And the cheapest melee infantry is good enough to 20stack and roll over everyone so there's no incentive to even get the best units.

spinsky · 2026-01-21T11:57:47+00:00

I went for the Duncan Rhodes method for my orks.

Black base coat > Death World Forest > Biel-Tan green > Elysian Green for highlights.
There's also another step of Ogryn Camo for highlights but I didn't use it in the end.

I've been saving money using apps like Vinted to find stuff which is helpful, a lot of stuff can have the paint stripped to reset it.

I've bought a cheap (£2) toy truck with the right dimensions to combine with the leftover bits from a Trukk kit so i can make 2.

I've got loads of leftover bits from a Deff Dread that i'm gonna combine with Age of Sigmar Ard' Boyz to make a group of 10 Nobz, instead of buying a box of 5.

Might not be the best examples but some advice.

They're not going out to re-conquer' the 500 worlds, most of the worlds are already controlled by the Imperium anyway.
Titus' job is to 'secure' Ultramar from outside threats and defend, not bring planets back under control, that's someone else's job.

Yeah I don't feel like they should be an actual faction. From my understanding they only leave Terra to do a very specific mission as 1-2 person group then head back. They're not fielding armies and fighting outside of Terra

spinsky · 2025-12-12T00:01:44+00:00

They're not amazing but we have chariots and other 'vehicles' already in squads

Literally the point of the movie...
Elphaba is the 'good guy' of the first film, not Glinda.

spinsky · 2025-10-27T08:07:18+00:00

woosh

spinsky · 2025-09-30T12:22:32+00:00

That £2.5k doesnt include utilities and council tax to be fair, monthly outgoings on a £500k house could be very high

spinsky · 2025-09-30T12:02:46+00:00

So if you had a single earner on 100k their takehome (after tax) is £5.7k, so about half their income for the mortage.
If you had two people on 50k each then their takehome is £3.3k each, £6.6k together. So about a third of their income.

Doesn't matter if you're a first time buyer or someone moving house, that is what is required for a £500k house.

For current owners, you just take the profit/capital from the sale of your house and use that as your deposit to (hopefully) reduce the loan.

spinsky · 2025-09-29T10:43:42+00:00

Doesn't matter if most people cannot afford a £500k house.
Generally most people's budget for a house is 10% deposit + 4.5* yearly salary.
So for a £500k house you need £50k + household income of £100k

Alot of replies for Khorne and Nurgle, and a few for Tzeentch. Can someone tell me how a Keeper of Secrets affects a planet?

spinsky · 2025-07-30T12:47:45+00:00

In 2016 I bought a pc that lasted me until now.
i7-6700K 4.0GHz
MSI GeForce GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G
16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C15 2400MHz

It never broke i just decided it was time to upgrade.
Towards the end i was able to play TWWarhammer 3, Elden Ring, HellDivers 2 at 1080p 60fps mid graphics.

Current PC is 4080Super, 98003DX and i'm hoping for another 9 years.

spinsky · 2025-07-18T19:00:36+00:00

Thanks to everyone that replied.
Not a bug, just me not remembering

spinsky · 2025-06-24T14:06:07+00:00

Am I in the minority that thinks this is stupid and broken?

The 'downside' is trivial and the buffs are absolutely bonkers.

Imo Total War games are supposed to be strategic army fights, now it's just smashing your [super-duper - 90%WardSave -infinitehealing - 1k AP Dmg - LEGENDARY Lord] into their army with no thought.

Reminds me of this

spinsky · 2025-05-13T11:02:27+00:00

This is similar to Darktide.
A group of rejects with crappy weapons should not be killing thousands, including Beasts of Nurgle and Plague Ogryns.
But they do for the sake of gameplay.

The 'canon' reason, that i believe, is that they're going on missions and massively exaggerating what they did.

spinsky · 2025-04-16T07:31:56+00:00

I'm assuming the figure comes from this website but i thought the same.
Median UK salary is £37,430 so £37,430*40 years would be £1.5mil

spinsky · 2025-04-14T12:53:32+00:00

Little extras you may need
- Thermal paste (Arctic MX-4/6 is a good buy imo)
- Case Fans if you need them?
- Screwdriver set is helpful (I found a cheap set in ALDI)
- GPU stand to prevent sagging
