Hi folks! Long time fan of the game, never really played before. I'm starting a ork army with a squig them (mangler squig conversions for deff dreds e.t.c).
Any suggestions on go to pieces or tactics for a complete novice? I'm willing to shove my nose into any intresting threads for a good read.
As for outside 40k I'm an avid warmahordes and blood bowl fan, I run a painting contest on www.talkfantasyfootball.org and concider myself a so-so, but enthusiastic, painter. Here have some pics =
Nurgle warrior conversion

Orc apothecary

Sorry the pics are a tad big.
Oh and I'm looking for pics of minor/out of cannon 40k races, as a fan of squats I'm intrested in the not so common races and I'm very curious to know just what a petra squirrel is, so if you have some info or interesting facts please speak up.

Oh and your emoticons are awesome

Hi,

Welcome to Dakka

Those are some really nice conversions! I like the Nurgle Warrior in particular, nice and disgusting looking.
A good place to learn about just anything 40k related is this site: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Warhammer_40,000
Anyways, welcome to Dakka!
