I looked at those Santic powers several times, with a slight Meh, then it clicked... Gate of Infinity is amazing, finally able to get our slow ass Meganobz and Walkers downfield where they are supposed to be!

gate will work on the MANz, but not the Walkers.

Not quite sure, but doesn't Unbound army still has to adhere to allies chart?

What 'meh' about any of them? Except for the Primaris(which is a free bonus anyways), all of them work pretty well with a lot of ork units.

Sad grot about orks not getting pyromancy though. We've got a Warboss called the Arch-Arsonist, we're supposed to light stuff on fire!

The allies chart does forbid you from combining "come the apocalypse" armies. It just limits their ability to cooperate on the table.

I was chatting to my local store manager about the new rules for the ally charts and apparantly you can ally with everyone as anyone, so I don't really know whats bad about that.

However I am pumped for new Orks!

True, but that's exactly what people were unhappy about, getting additional restriction (deployment one) in their face.

Anyways, what we should do is to wait for the codex. Going "all creative" with allies isn't exactly what I'm personally concerned about, although I understand people who were doing all those conversions hoping to actually use them.

Daemonolgy confirmed? Time to start thinking about that Tuska model.

If the new plastic mega armoured warboss kit comes out, I plan on turning into Tuska. I figured I would paint him red and give him horns.

Bloodthirsters are pretty huge though, aren't they?
I'm considering something along these lines... http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer/ORCS_AND_GOBLINS/ORC_ROGUE_IDOL.html

Scratch that, I'm thinking of the FW Bloodthirster, in terms of size. Though still not sure a GW meganob will be big enough, unless the new models are quite a bit buffer.

Bloodthirster is apparently slightly bigger than a DP. Helbrute would fit the size, me thinks.. my concept would be that Tuska is a MAWB, who has outgrown his armor because of the constant fighting and bloodshed!

Ah, perfect picture, thank you! That gives me something to work from. Toying with the idea of just getting a bloodthirster and scuplting a new head.

Those santic powers are boss, save (imo) the primaris one in most cases... For obvious reasons.

So far as orky-demons go, I'm planning on making a couple. I've still got my as-of-yet-unbuilt Dark Vengeance Hellbrute; he's first on the list. Convert and orkify him up so he's a gigantic Ork who's been somewhat twisted by the warp / demonic energies, and has gotten freaking huge from fighting everyday for ages.

Towards Squidbot, you could try Kromlech Orc War 2 Juggernauts, they're pretty big.

Not quite Blood-thirster size, but still pretty huge; and offer you options.

I already have six

Haha, fair enough then!

I've got three myself. Rest of my mega-nobz are hand made, and I use those ones as warbosses or as unofficial leaders among Nobz.

ooooooo.
I hadn't thought about that! the hellbrute would convert up nicely. plus there pretty cheap to pick up off the old ebay.

mega excited about the new dex, no mater the content i will be in converting heaven.
This is my intended DP-ork stylie (hes currently only formed into his base shapes using oven-bake clay):

Current height he'd be on par with the GW bloodthirster, he's more a parody and a slightly silly conversion. for his arms, he'll have one big muscular arm which carries his 'daemon weapon' - read a big daemon tied to a big stick. The other is going to be an arm where each finger is the body of a boy, which then has two arms itself carrying axes and sluggas, or whatever weapons I feel fit best



I have a few ideas I cant wait to try out with the unbound rules.

Many many warpheads

Many many SAGs

gate of infinity and burna squads, insta-fried chicken

and tonnes of odd arrangements that would be hilarious to field even if unlikely to win

They really are beautiful sculpts. Love them. I really should finish this one at some point.

I LOVE this idea! I look forwards to seeing the results!

Gork's teef.... imagine how many Gretchin you could field in an unbound army....

I played maybe a half dozen games of 6th Edition, but these Ork rumors have me itching for 7E Ork Goodness

...I really like the news Guys. Keep them coming ...

I think I will use him as Ork DP...



Cheers

I'd wait and see how things fall out. 7th is still an unknown factor (Though personally I am optimistic), and the new Ork Codex even more so. The new Ork models are definitely awesome, so we have that to look forward to.
As usual, new codices are being met with mixed reactions, some being very unpopular, so we may well end up worse off than we are now.
For me my love of Orks goes beyond winning games though, so unless they totally ruin us, I'll likely still be happy.

"Orkses is never defeated in battle. If we win we win, if we die we die fighting so it don't count. If we runs for it we don't die neither, cos we can come back for annuver go, see!"

BoardBeard having seen your model before I must say it is giving me the itch! I need to go model something right away.... let me just hand my notice in quickly....

That dude is truely inspiring not only is the sculpting work really nice, but that mini-gun is a truely epic scratch build As soon as I get the new dex I think ima gona need some ogryn, some skaven and some other goodies.

Warlord nob squad made up of oversized, fat squabblin' orks each fatter than the last, each with more medallions and extravagant bling in the war to out do each other

That's incredible and incredibly inspiring...

I've been messing with green stuff off and on for two years now, and I just can't get the hang of it. Stuff like this makes me so jelly, bro.
Anyone know a good professional green stuff tutorial?

I think he'd ork up pretty easily

So what do the 4 point boyz have if you don't buy a choppa? And do you have to buy two choppas to get +1 A?

im assuming you will still have to pick one or the other. i think its just a way to buff choppa boys to buy more shiny stuff.

'ere we go

Already posted. Still frickin awesome though.

Holy hell, that's one beautiful bit of work.

I wish I was even near that good at sculpting and plasticard.

Oh yeah, darn, forgot IC can't join vehicle squadrons, or models that can only be a unit of one.

Oh don't get me wrong, I don't think they are bad, and I could see myself using them to probably greater effect than the gate, they just don't have that "FUN!" factor.

With everything that 7th has thrown at us I can't wait to see what our 7th ed codex has in store for us!

Here's my war boss I just finished, about double the size of a nob. Actually just checked he's double the aize.of the black reach war boss too.
