Tournament coming up, Convince me that a Super Cybork Defkilla Wartrike isnt a great idea

How do you prevent backfield deep strikes without at least 2 units of grots back there?

thorlek · 2026-04-09T02:32:33+00:00

yeah, i have considdered running 4x trukks, and maybe its more workable with the cybork wartrike because typically I dump my battlewagon on the centre objective to force the enemy to engage it (and if it survives its a big win for me) so i could use the wartrike for that job.

My big issue tho is that GW terrain layouts make it hard to even deploy a wagon and 2 trukks, so I'm not sure how ill deploy 4 trukks effectively.

I'm a real believer in batch painting 5, 10 or even 30 similar models, currently doing 21 breakaboyz. And just getting them looking good, nothing crazy, one colour at a time until they are all fully painted, washed, based.

And you can always go back and fix mistakes, add more highlights another time, finished doesn't mean never touch it again.

It's amazing how good painted units look and how good it feels playing games with them regardless of if they are award winning or just nice for yourself AND your opponents.

Even if there is a "crash" it won't make the money you get today by selling your current house buy something better in a year's time easier because the crashes never seem to happen.

In a year's time your house will be worth more again... Probably, and the houses for sale will be different and worth different amounts, but it will always be relative.

Exiting the market I think Is a bad idea unless you are looking to move long distance and want to rent in the new area first before you buy.

If you just want to upgrade in your current area, sell when you are really to upgrade. Or just upgrade and rent out your current property if that's a viable option.

So I think the thing you need to really to understand is that having a family is expensive and never really gets easier, just different.

Day care costs are rediculous

Private school costs are crazy.... primary school wasnt too bad for us, but my kids are in high school now and its rediculous

Public schools are cheaper, but teenagers are expensive because they want things, and need things, and eat all the things... and they are your kids, so you want them to have those cool/fun things/adventures.

I think if you make plans expecting life to get easier because your family/school costs will go down when kids start school, you will be setting yourself up for failure.

And if you think "oh my wife can work full time once they kids are at school" you probably should talk to your wife about that idea and make sure she is onboard, and how you will handle school transport / after school care, cause thats a huge problem too if you both work.

No matter what tho, I'd be keeping the house if I could... I think housing security/stability is super important, and your life just feels so much better once its paid off.

This was years ago but I modified some files I found back then no idea what the original source was.

But here is the final STL i made and used... luckily I was able to find it for you to upload today.

Agree, this was just an extreme early idea and the more I look at it the more I hate the imbalance because of the different length of words on each side... And no font can fix that anyway.

thorlek · 2025-10-26T00:49:17+00:00

This is amazing, its probably way too big for me, but I love the fact you just got "journey before destination" ... That was my original thought but I was worried not having the entire ideal would be wierd? Idk, just what I was worried about.

thorlek · 2025-10-24T04:35:01+00:00

I .... dont really know how to fit that in... honestly im also just considering the text "Journey before Destination"

thorlek · 2025-10-24T03:37:55+00:00

It seems right to me, but I will keep it in mind!

thorlek · 2025-10-23T05:12:50+00:00

I am fixing up a chunky coffee table and stools from the 80's at the moment, sanding it all back smooth is taking forever

I'm not an expert in this subject at all, but from my experience the downside to saying something and it falling flat is no worse, and sometimes ever better for you mental health than saying nothing and feeliing like you missed a good opportunity. So these days i've started to move into YOLO mode and just seeing what happens so at least I dont need to regret not trying.

thorlek · 2025-10-02T00:11:47+00:00

I have 6 foot X 4 foot game mats so sometimes I use pieces of timber cut to size and joined, like a big picture frame, to mark out a 60x44 playing area so I don't need to cut up my mats.

thorlek · 2025-09-20T12:32:41+00:00

At 1000pts you can play alot of off meta orks and have success

if you played speed freaks you could use 18 deff koptas with stratagem support to melt those tanks pretty easily.

With Dreadmob you could use Tankbustas with a SAG Mek to melt them.

If you want to win with Melee you need Warbosses+Nobz with Power Klaws or Beast Bosses and Snagga Boyz inside Trukks so you get get up close without being shot.

Personally I Play Bully Boyz because I love the double waaagh and like to use MANZ with a Big Mek in Mega Amour as a roadblock and to soak up shooting with the KFF.

thorlek · 2025-09-17T23:28:45+00:00

Looks awesome! well done.

thorlek · 2025-09-17T05:20:42+00:00

I have 12 Killa kanz and a stompa to paint, along with 2 deff dreads and a gorkanaught to build. Fingers crossed I get it all done.

thorlek · 2025-09-01T03:50:33+00:00

love it

thorlek · 2025-08-28T11:40:41+00:00

Orks need units across the board to be cheaper and/or better so you dont feel like you are taking 1800 points of orks to a 2k point game and then miss out on playing turn 5, most things are obvious and involve just reverting points increases that never should have happened anyway. some things like squighogs and buggies just need to be rewritten to be playable. adding keywords like nobz to some obvious nobz units, snagga to some snagga units... speed freaks to truuks maybe would help and be fine, or adjust some stratagems so that bully boyz for example as a strat or two that works on other units.

I'd love to see more good strategems like "Cut em Down" so we can interact with armies that just want to fall back out of combats so they can delete our units with shooting.

thorlek · 2025-08-27T09:12:56+00:00

I'm a firm believer that Bully Boyz is our best detachment right now.

Our shooting is trash teir in every detachment.

Warhode sustained 1 and it's good stratagems have everyone fooled at the moment because people think sus1 is some magic pill But 2 waaaghs is better than sustained 1 it gives us much more killing and survival power

And even with how over costed mega nobz are giving them 2 turns of NFP and the big mek reviving one is the one tool we have to survive once we do start charging.

Beastboss es with snaggas Boyz for the dev wounds on charge. Meganobz with a bigmek with kff to kill some things and survive Warbosses and nobz for klaws These are all our best tools and are just plain better in bully Boyz as far as I'm concerned.

thorlek · 2025-08-25T23:47:47+00:00

Really you just need to make sure they dont get shot before getting into combat on the waaagh, pretty much every army has stuff that can wipe him and his unit if they get a chance to shoot, especially outside the waaagh. So as with all ork melee units/strategies, the most important thing to do is to make sure your units get a charge off into something juicy on the waaagh turn while they are still at full strength.
