Can warkoptas transport Mega Nobz? I've placed the same restrictions on them as Mega Nobz with regards to arming loadout for battlewagons as they are bulky... so I guess if the warkopta can take mega nobz then Ogryns can ride a warkopta too.

If it has the option of being a dedicated transport then that will slide in too but it should specify in the warkopta datasheet.

We've also had over 20,000 hits on the forum here... I probably account for 10,000 views. Matt and Mark 4999 each, so to the remaining two who've viewed. thanks!

lol, those figures sound about right,

as to the warkopta i will look at the book tonight to see what it says about bulky etc, as far as i know bulky models just take up 2 spots the same as terminators etc, but will try and find out if anything else is stated anywhere

If that the case then should be sweet dude!

cool well if i cant find anything i will try and contact FW as they seem to reply quite quickly

damn, just checked raid on kastorel novem book (IA8) and it states for the warkopta that it cant transport models in mega armour. :(

so unless your flying battle wagon is supposed to be a lot more heavy duty sadly i wont be able to run commando ogryns lol

After this week, my viewings might rapidly decrease :( Due to having a real job!

(i might be able to afford a titan now...)

The battlekopta is a flying battlewagon, just no deffrollas! Does it say no to bulky? We'll call them bulky in this case and just use mega armour rule to restrict battlewagon options!

yeah the forgeworld 'chinork' states no models in mega armour (which at the time was the 5th edition of bulky,
in a battlewagon you can have mega armoured nobs they just take up 2 spaces,
Not the end of the world i will just fill the chinork with regular commandos rather than ogryns lol

will double check with imperial aeronautica tonight and see if the rules have altered for 6th but i doubt it

Something i found off the internet - looked quiet fun

The mad boys count all movement as moving through difficult terrain, they will not shoot but fight in close combat normaly.

I'll add these to the pack, maybe somebody will crack a unit out!

I might just be that man, I really love random fluff rules.

Is there or will there be any restrictions on how the unit can be armed?

Sorry just re-read the rules slugga and choppa, my bad!

Good man nick... Or should that be good Ork!

http://z13.invisionfree.com/The_First_Expedition/index.php?showtopic=253&st=0&#last

Praise to Gork and Mork!


Some nice ideas!

Check these bad boys out,

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/WORLD_EATERS_LEGION_RAMPAGER

i have - it a little upsetting how much i like them.. the price rag is a little high!!

Thats a recurring theme though isn't it. They're good, they look cool, but I'm sure that comverted minaitures have as much if not more about them than these in the end...

Why is my flag US?

In all fairness if you compare the price to the new dark angels terminators it actually starts looking pretty cheap

I'm not sure, i think the termy kit has a lot of awesome extras and, if you have spare termy bits lying around, like me, you can get two squads out of it!

Gargants, Madboyz and Ogryns added to the Ork list.

Check the expansion dudes and let me know what you think. I'll definitely try to build a gargant varient myself and hopefully we'll see a few on the table top.

forgot to add flakk attack guns to the Bonce options... I'll add them at a later date!

Wow it makes me want to go green!

Thats a good sign...

Mate it looks fantastic, just wish I had the time and resources to build a Garnant for myself.
Just a few points.

The Looted flyers feel very weekly armed and not random enough for me to want to take one over the available ork fast attack options, to encourage their use how about allowing any flyer to be looted by the Orks at codex cost with the following modifications;

Armour value all-round reduced by 1 to a minim of 10 due to unpredictable Ork upgrades.
Ballistic skill reduced to 2

Fighta ace- having spent some time fiddling with all the shiny knobs and switches the pilot/ crew have gained a better affinity with the weapon systems fitted to the aircraft and my engage Flyers and Skimmers with BS3. At a cost of 10 points

No really,Don’t press Dat!

Diss silly thing wont do wat i tell it, at the start of each turn role 1 D6 and consult the table

1 With a belch of flame the engine cuts out and the flyer starts to lose altitude. If in Hover mode while the pilot struggles to re-start the engines you must remain stationary and no weapons may be fired for the duration of the turn. If in flyer mode treat it as a fixed velocity result but without the loss of Hull Point and reduce BS by 1 for the duration of the turn.

2 The flyer makes a sudden and violent change of direction role a scatter dice and move flat out in the indicated direction if you role a hit you may chose the direction you move in but must still move the maximum distance. any unit that leaves the table joins re-joins the reserves.

3 No effect
4 No effect

5 Some form of advance navigation system has been engaged if in skimmer mode you may make an additional move during the assault phase as per the Jump pack rules. If in flyer mode you may make an additional 90 deg change of course at any point during your movement.

6 Some sort of advanced targeting system has been engaged all weapons may be fired twice this turn.


Just an idea what do you think? I like the image of orked up Storm Ravens or Necron pastries zooming about

It's a good idea, would need to change the weapon loadout though or make it a one stat line generic choice like the looted tank. Mainly as i wouldn't want to see an ork vendetta armed with lascannons, but zzap guns instead etc! Otherwise we may not see any other flyer but vendettas!

It's good though nick, i'll work on it over the next few days!

Also, once we've got Ullanor sorted i'll alter the pack slightly and make all the ork options available for future events too so we can see more gargants at other apocalypse games!

Thinking of making a rule about pairs, (mork and gork) in which when similar gargants operate side by side their powerfield overlap for a bonus! Any thoughts?

You're going to cost me a fortune if you keep this up. I have loads of things I want to build now.

You might want to set a minimum point percentage for troops though or you might just get a wall of Stompas and Garnants and not a Boy in sight.

Good point,you could give the choice of;
Up to three Twin linked; Supper shootas, big shootas, rockets, or Zapp/ supper Zapp guns at an appropriate cost.
The random nature of the Zapp weapons would stop them from being too overpowered.

Yup, thats the way to go!

I'll adjust them to suit but they won't be available as a squadron.

I'm going to raid the bitz box and have a go at some mad boyz. i'll post some WIP pics.

Sweet! I look forward to seeing the work, and how your Urrlak is coming on too!

I could only find three sets of legs but with a little bit of work I have my first mad Boyz made up. What do you think, are they mad enough?

Yeah... great effort! My favourite is the one with the stikkbomb in his gob!
