I think extra props should be given to your opponent.

For bringing the orks on the right? Are those some 2nd ed orks I see in there? Very nice!

2nd ed mono-poses need love too! Last time I took my “I <3 my bolter” marines out for a spin, they were my MVP of the game.

They are not old and goofy, they are retro-cool veterans! Just think of the Waaaaghs that guy has seen.

New battle report!

Boss Gitsplitta vs. Boss Rukkstomp!

Waaagh!

Looked like a fun game. Does this end the battle for the big boss? If so, what are you going to bring to the apoc game?

Thanks guys. There's a lot of games going on. We're just trying to cram in all the games we can. Winner has the most points.

I'm going to build a stompa. I don't know that it really matters all that much what I bring after that. I'll bring the VSG of course, grot tanks of various sorts, big squiggoth, etc. Whatever floats my boat. I've got 3k points to play with so that's damn near everything I own (and the stompa doesn't count towards the 3k).

Good Battle Report Gits. I was pulling for you. Looks like you boys had fun. A good proppa Battle Da Ork Way. Congrats

That sounds like fun!

@Eiluj: Thanks. I've been really pleased and kind of surprised at how good everyone's been about playing up the ork v. ork thing in our battles. So far in each one, the game has ended with a warlord vs. warlord challenge... which nearly guarantees that both are going to die. Even though it would be tactically advantageous in many cases NOT to do the challenge... everyone is doing it anyway. I like that. Very orky.

Bit of brilliance arrived from Cam today to augment my orky display board! Can't wait to paint this puppy up! Those of you Dawn of War fans may recognize a certain similarity between it and certain orky standards from the game. Sorry for the dodgy pic... it's what my phone could muster.

Thanks Cam, I love it!

That looks great, and I'm looking forward to seeing it painted... are you going to put a shoota or two on it to complete the homage to the Dawn of War ones?

That's the plan!

That is a great centerpiece. You're a lucky man

Indeed. I'm afraid painting it will have to wait until after Adepticon, but I'll make it a priority then.

Awesome Bad moon tower

Public Service Announcement

Hello friends!

This missive is to let you know that for the time being, my 5 P&M blogs (Mantis Warriors, Bad Moon Orks, AdMech, Halloween themed Chaos and 30k EC) will have all their updates appearing on a single blog (my “Rebuilding the Mantis Warriors” blog… which will get a new name). Why? With my interests so scattered across multiple armies and terrain & the fact that I’m just not painting at the hundreds of figures a year rate that I used to… I’m not making enough quality posts to keep 5 different blogs going. I’ve got a few die-hard friends and supporters that still post… but not enough to build or maintain the community that has always been the strongpoint of my threads in the past.

If my circumstances change and I start painting enough to warrant re-opening one of the specialist threads, I’ll do so... they aren’t closed, just inactive. In the meantime, as of today (Feb 11th, 2017) I’ll be making all of my P&M posts (for all armies) on what has always been my “home” on DakkaDakka, my Mantis Warrior thread. I hope you’ll join me there for the latest updates!

Thanks!
