So my gaming mates and I have been planning to play the New Kill team scenario from The Battle Missions book (and do a batrep video for it) this weekend (tonight actually).

We had decided to play on a jungle themed board.

I won't bore you with the details of the batrep's background fluff/story we have as that will be included int he video, but suffice to say that the Orks (played by me) have scattered into the Equatorial jungles to escape destruction at the hands of recently arrived beakies who bloodied them in a surprise orbital assault.

The Beakies have been tasked with sweeping the surrounding jungles clear of the remaining orks...

So, given this premise I thought it would be amusing to have the orks look like they are attempting to become jungle fighters. Here in the group shot of my Kill team you can see the orks have used some giant ferns to "hide" their trukk and wartrakk:


I also thought it would be amusing to add "Gilli suits" or ork attempts at using the flora as camouflage both to play up the mission setting with and as a visual marker to denote my specialists:

(the nob will have "Feel no Pain", so no thing to model as he already looks tough imho, but the other two will have "stealth"(big shoota) and "infiltrate"(shoota).

The piece are only held on with small dab of putty so I can remove them.

Wow. Looking good so far!

lol wow i love the Gilli suits!!! how did you make them?
hey they would make grate kommandos!

Brimming with character!

Not that complicated: I used pieces of the GW plastic trees and jungle trees and added some static grass

Great stuff. I like the "stealth" Ork. Wonder how stealthy he'll manage to be.

My guess is the gigantic muzzle flash of his big shoota might give away his position...

Game is tonight, so we will see...

Cool, any chance of some in game photos?

Well the main motivation for the game tonight is because a mate of mine likes to make batrep videos and we are planning to make a video of the game ( he is "Iron Bear" here on Dakka, and has posted some videos in the past).

He will hopefully be posting the video later this coming week , depending on how long it takes him to put it together as he goes to town with audio, cinematic effects (muzzle flashes,etc.).

I will post some still pics afterward as well as a written batrep synopsis to accompany the video...

Looking forward to it. Enjoy the game.

I think he would be extremely stealthy, you never here him coming until all you hear is DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA!

Love the look of these guys, great job

Looks really good, although you need to have an ork hiding behind an incredibly thin tree!

Love the ork with the 'hat' tree thing

I second that notion! simple, but effective

If you didn't run the snikrot kommando list, what'd you end up with?

I see something like
11 boyz w/1 big shoota + nob w/pk bp + trukk w/ram
Warbuggie w/wartrakk + rokkits

How'd you play the transport (multiple units embarking?)? The bosspole (the nob can't use it on himself)?
Did you consider giving the trukk scout and sticking the nob/mob in it for a turn 1 assault range? I keep coming back to the PK nob getting singled out and shot down when I build a KT with one, and that might fix it...

The theme came out great though, and it looks quite nice on that board. I can't wait to see the report.

Yeah i went with:

Nob (e. armour, PK, slugga) gave him "feel no pain"

1o boyz w/ shootas (one with infiltrate)

1 boy w/ big shoota (gave him stealth)

trukk w/ big shoota (reinforced ram)

wartrakk w/ t.l. rokkit launcha

Had the nob ride in trukk and launched him at enemy

Nob killed three marines in cc. Wartrakk hit three out of four times and killed two marines

Other marines killed by normal boyz

boy w/ big shoota finished off the last standing marine at range

I ended up tabling the marines, though we both were making LD checks by that time, luckily I made my checks as I could have bottled out...

We took over 200 pics and the video batrep is in the works and will be posted in the next 1-2 weeks once Iron Bear gets all the post production work done...

So.. are they like.... always in cover? lol

All joking aside I like the gillie suits.. awesome
