*Another* Ork blog I seemed to have missed recently Very characterful Orks - looking forward to more!

@Selvaggio: Cheers!

@Arkasi: welcome to the blog!

Great fluff update,a real air of tension is created in the ship with loyalist members still aboard.

Thanks Zariart! I really appreciate having someone who reads the stuff I write!

[radio moderator voice] And now to something completely different [/radio moderator voice]

A new model

I'll take a proper pic at home, but here in denmark this was the best i could do:

Great idea! And well executed.

The Kan opener! Love It

Thanks guys. Its really nice having regular visitors!

He looks like a close combat lootah. So that makes him a perfect tank bustah. Orky!

@Zariart:

thanks mate!

@all of you:

again, there is a change in my plans. I just found out about the dakka painting challenge so I guess thats what I'll be working on when im back oin ger..... so I can only get back to my other projects after that..... sorry.
And in addition, there might be some comission job i might get, lest hope i do!

I'll keep writing fluff though!

Thought I commented on this before when I was looking over it earlier today, guess I forgot.

Some nice stuff you have here and I like the "kan opener" thing that that last one has.

PINK HORROR OF AWESOME!!! so, I take it he squeezes it until it pukes fire. so, for your next transport, why not just loot.... a daemon prince, perhaps? lash of submission beats big shootas any day.

"squeezes it until it pukes" made me LOL! maybe i will loot some more stuff from chaos...... but not in the near future.....got other things i wat to do first

I've seen a bunch of your Ork conversions in the gallery...surprised to learn they all belong to one person! Big props for putting so much personality into every one of your models, and great work on your painting as well. I'd love to get a game against such a characterful force, but I imagine I'd slow things down by stopping to stare (and laugh) at each and every model.

wow, thanks for the kind comment!

Update!

Though this time, its not my work....its Dabedmans!

He build this awesome model (called Sir Marbo) because I won a christmas give away on his blog!

I present you:


Oh, and he wrote an awesome letter wich he sent along:





sadly, there wont be much updating from me..... I am currently painting up my entry for the dakka painting challenge (if you haven't heard about it, head the the dakka front page!), and I am not allowed to show that until public voting is done..... sorry.....

Sweet jumping Jesus, I did that?!

Of course I did! why? Because MrMerlin has been a great supporter of my own project blog since Day 1! ( And he won the give-away I did for christmas!)

And now YOU can partake in the awesomeness that is my blog by clicking the link in my signature!

Why wait? Head over there NOW before anything happens to me-AAARGH!-

Do you see how fast everything can become to late? And not to worry, the stab wound I got just now was only a shallow one; I will be fine. For now.

So what are you waiting for, visit now! Weekly updates with either fluff or pictures or both!



How's that for a shameless advert?

But seriously , I am so glad that it arrived safely. And I must ask of you, since you are a much better photographer than me, please give him ( at least the Luggage) the photographic attention he ( it) deserves.
's all I ask.

hey dabedman

was it really me who told you to do shameless self-advertiing? I see my mistake now.....

of course I will take some more photos of the interior and side/whatever angle looks good of the luggage! (and some more shot of marbo himself)

concerning my own work:
as I aid, no orky updates soon, but I might get ome fluff done

oh MrMerlin... when will I be as good as you haha great stuff! xxx

thanks a lot, bubble. Considering your good start, it wont take long .


Still no updates folks, the challenge entry is'nt done yet, but when it is, I'll finish some of my other projects...

Really like your Orks, they look really nice, great detailing. The last Ork you posted is great, strange conversion but it works, and I like the rusted look.
That Marbo Dabedman made looks pretty cool!!

Dear followers of my blog,

Again I commit the outrage of updating by blog without any juicy orks (or at least some guard) in it. - I'm very sorry

But dont desert my blog just yet! I have decided to make a battle report on tomorrows battle aginst my brothers' Eldar! Hopefully it will work nicely.....

oh and while you're here anyway, have a look at his Eldar. The liknk is in the sentence above

Till tomorrow

MrMerlin

THE BATTLE


Thats the battlefield:

Mission - Capture an controll

Deployment - Spearpoint

Eldar go first

Setup:


My brother set up his army like this. The Kan is the Avatar, ans the walker are in reserve:


My Orks came up with this: Mek and burnas in the wagon, Deff dred withing 6" of the wagon (for the 4+ kff save) and the looas went on the hill in the back. Komanndoz are in reserve.


TURN ONE

Eldar turn one:
No movement exept for the WL, he advances 6"
Nightspinner and Guardian EML manage to kill 5 Boyz

"NOOOOO!"


Ork turn one:
Dred and Wagon race forward, the boys are trapped in the night spinners web. They only manage to roll a 2 for dt, and 2 of them die (incl one with a big shoota )
The lootas of course stay where they are.


Ork shooting didnt hurt the Eldar a lot; the lootas managed to shoot a wound off the Avatar, and the bs left in the boys mob mows down a Guardian

TURN TWO

Eldar:

Well, nothing really happened here..... he moved his WL towards my orks and shot everything he had at them...... failintg to kill a single one!

Orks:

Not having taken any damage in the Eldar phase, they now advance further unmolested

End of Ork movement:


The wagon rams the WL and the Burnas get out of it (yes, bending the rules a little.....), while the dred runs 5" forward
The WL suffers 5 hits from the rolla, all of wich wound, BUT HE SAVES THEM ALL! ARGH!

The lootas shoot the main gun off the night spinner (YES!) and the burnas fry all of Calvins nicely painted guardians. (YES!). Only the warlock survives.....

end of ork turn:


TURN THREE

Eldar:

the warwalkers appear behind the lootas. (yes, proxys are cool -_- that killa kan there will be finihed as soon as I'm done with my entry for the painting challenge....)


The lone warlock moves towards the deff dred.

shooting:
the guardians with the scatter laser manage to kill 4 burnas, and the lootas suffer three casualities to the walkers. then my brother remembers the two flamers on his WL and fething BURNS ALL MY BURNAS! NOOO!
end of eldar shooting:


the warlock and the avatar then assault my deff dred. the witchblage strikes with deadly S9, BLOWING THE DRED UP! ("noooooo!" again!). But in return, the explosion kills the warlock (hehe....)

Ork turn three:

Snikrot stays in the bushes, and the battlewagon deffrolls a guardian and two DA (hehe):

that orange thingy is his objective

the lootas manage to shoot one of the walkers:


the boys assault the avatar and the Wraithlord, and 4 get killed before the nob shoves his power klak up the WLs arse. Yes, 4 attacs take off three wounds :

the nob on his prey:


Turn 4:

Eldar:
the night spinner rams the battle wagons rear and the big shoota falls off:


the warwalkers manage to soot only one loota with all their heavy weapons, and the avatar avenges the dead WL and wipes out the poor boys mob :(
now i cant run back and claim my own objective /the looa-hill)
the farseer fails to damage the wagon with his wb....

Orks:

Snikrot arrives :


the wagon kills 4 DA with the deffrolla:


the lootas manage to kill a second walkers, and the kommandoz wipe thefloor with the other guardian quad and the farseer, only losing one ork in the process


TURN FIVE

Eldar:
the night spinner tankshocks the komanndoz and they roll a double 6 - NOOOOO! they flee:

there goes my chance to contest the objective.....

the last walker shoots another looota, and charges the rest....

The avatar charges the battlewagon. It blows up

Orks:

the mek, who didnt get pinned by his exploding ride, waits for the fleeing kommandoz to shoot at the DA before he charges. Bad luck makes te komanndoz miss EVERYTHING, so no DA die, and the mek only manages to get himself killed, after only killing one foe in return....


we roll a 4, so the game ends......


I lost

But it was fun anyway!

Hope you liked the report!

Greetings

Me:

This is real wargaming, playing on the floor with models that ar'nt what they really are making units, ahhh .
I am so sick of seeing these battle reports where the photos are photoshoped and there's all this cinematic crap floating around. This was very refreshing and really quite good, really liked the truck in action. hope this is the first of more to come

thanks a lot bigfish!

I guess I'll do more of these, on the rare occasion that my brother or the guy with the demons fancy a battle......
or if I get to sweden this year, I'll be able to battle rep a conflict with some nicely painted BTs, from the guy who got me into wargaming.....

Nice rep mate!
Want more of this and an occasion to play as well..

Nice rep!

You really are a nice contrast to my group, where we have the policy "if it ain't painted, it ain't fightin'."

Great battle rep Enjoyed it. I like the 'old-school' playing-on-the-floor as well hehe. Reminds me of what it used to be.

I use Snikrot as well now. Tag on a warboss and you got some surprise-power. Also I prefer 2x burnas, but I guess that depends on what you are up against.

cheers, will do more!

Thanks Haraldus.
I guess it'd be hard for me to field a painted army. I try to make every model look as good as possible (wich i didnt do with the first 30 boys, argh), so it takes ages to get something painted

Thanks TaWaaagh

In bigger games I also tag on a warboss, but at a thousand pts I thought the 10 boys were enough.
I'm planning to build a biker boss, and use him along with snikrot. That'd rock!

Good rep dude, nice to see a blend of things in blogs :-) and you've gone started it now you've put a pic up, now you are a Dakka personality lol

NF09

Looks like a fun battle, nice battle report. Glad to see the truck in action!
