Normality is relative mate!
I never said I am normal and that makes me normal for myself...
So, challenge accepted MUAHAHAHHAH

I'm jealous of all the blue. I really wish I used a more uniform palette, it really makes a difference when you field it all on the battlefield.

The Killa Kans really stand out too, I can almost hear the awful sounds they would make trundling across the battlefield.

Great job all around!

Keep up the good work. Ive subbed to yor plog for its orkiness inspiration!!!!!!

wow thanks man, not many people go back and see the dark age of this plog, so thanks for making the effort. i hope i can continue to improve and hopefully in a couple of months be making much much better stuff at a proper daka plastic master level.

But pox, yours are uniformly un uniform, therefor making them a collective anyway , and thank you for the compliment


just a taste of the next update



Also on a unrelated note, does anyone know where Schank23 is? i have been missing his brazen claws

anyway, thanks for viewing

I wish I could get in to the contest mate, but I work 12 hours a day from mon to fri and the evening of sat or sun and I prefer to go in a steady slow pace, paint a mini for a contest now would be do It almost forced and I don't feel It right.... But we could pick a walker from a different army and make It orky (count as Deff Dread kind of thing) and start a topic with that, let's talk about It by PM

slowly, with a small brush and thank you

SelvaggioSaky wrote:Good job with the TS mate!

TS??

Did some green stuffing on some stuff and one of those stuff was the squiggoth from a while ago. just reread the Battle Herd rules:

100 points plus models for a once per game 2d6 fleet move and 1+ attack if they are in or charge into assult during the turn very nice and all i need to to it is at least 1 more squigifant (at least, but as its 50 points for a monstorous creature with 4 wounds?? why have the minimum )



Also on a unrelated note, fixed the Bigmek in mega armour



Anyway thanks for looking and comments are always great to read

Nice work Bigfish. You just keep on keepin on. Stompas looks great, love the weathering.

Tanticul skuad

I really must try and scratch build some Kans myself, they look so good.

Hahaha awesome! elephant squiggoths! I gotta get me some elephants...

Have you gone mad? Or are squiggoths REALLY that good?

The second squig is looking good Bigfish! Can't wait to see more!

Curious to see how that squig will look. keep it up!

what do you think

Has been changed due to feedback

You could Shenaniganize the Deffkoptas- lose one or two Buzzsaws/Rokkits (maybe for a KMB or just the =BigShootas) and use the saved points to upgrade one of the Big Shootas on each Wagon into a Kannon.

Or, drop a BS on each BW and use the points to buy a BigBomm for your Koptas, giving them Wound Allocation that way.

Get rid of the Aard cases on the battlewagons... if they aren't open topped you can't assault out of them. Big minus for an ork.

I find the "ard Cases fine, for myself. Though I do run much smaller units in mine.

im quite liking the droping 2 bigshooters idea and then buying a bigbomm for them. but if i drop ard case on one of my battle wagons then i can get it for them with those points anyway. will think on the "Shenaniganizeing" though thanks

Thanks for the feedback
although, im running them with kff meks so i guess i could loose them and then spend the points else where. (Shenaniganizeing)
just out of interest then what are both of your oppinions on shooter boyz in battle wagons, they have the shooters so its not like they are just sitting there, and the Ard case battle wagon gives them that extra survivablity to actually get to the front lines?

Shootas in battle wagons are very good. They can cruise around, get close enough to the enemy to fire, have protection and can still assault better than most. Tuck a nob with a PK and boss pole in there and you're all set. Plus you stick a deffrolla on the battlewagon and you've got another threat in the same package.

The two biggest issues with 'Ard Case are that 1: they keep you from being able to charge the turn you disembark, and 2: there's only 5 fire ports, with a maximum of 3 that can be pointed in a direction- and that's behind you.

I run one of my 'ard case BWs with my KFF Big Mek and his 'retinue' of 3 Burnaboyz and 3 Meks w/KMBs. It's also my Boomstompa gunwagon, with 4 Rokkits, a Kannon and a Killkannon.

I use it to either Killkannon juicy, clustered up MEq while shuffling about a bit, or when it stands still, I'm able to fire up to 8 Strength 8 shots from it, if the enemy's a little behind and to the left. If they get too close and don't wreck it, I can use my Burnas to try and do some damage.

If you're running large mobs, though, and want them to shoot, go open-topped, because then you'll get all your shots, and be able to assault when you want.

Thanks Gitsplitta, sold on no hard case in this circumstance then

And Anvildude i have got to try that, i think i have read you saying something similar somewhere but yea. 8 str 8 is looking pretty good (maybe the next battle wagon )
