Many have asked, few have seen; I finally got some pictures of my wife's pink Orks. Ghazghkull and his harem ride to battle in style too!







When I asked her to make a centerpiece for her army...the Waaaugh! banner that represents what her army is all about, she gave me this:




How do these pink orks fare you wonder?

53 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw

Out of 12 tournaments, these pink orks have won 11. The tournament I didn't win with them, I went 3-0, but the tournament used opponent scheduling to determine the winner, so someone else won because their opponents were apparently more difficult than mine. =p Fortunately, I got to play the winner first round of my next tournament and I tabled him.

BEWARE! The pink orks may be coming for you next!

Here's Zagstruk; he put the hurt on another Ork player today in a 2500 point brawl.

Kewt.

Almost Criminal.

The colors clash horribly, but they're rather charming anyway.

Nothin like get your butt handed to ya by some purdy orks...

Well, dey'z dead stompy, an' green, so it'z good enuff fer me.

'Kourse, if dey woz a redda pink, dey mite go a bit fasta...

My wife requests that I post, "Pink is the new red."

Kunninly brutal! Deys git all kindz uv blinded through dem powar hemetz, dem da purdy boyz git a choppa in der ead.

I think people brush off the threat of pink and go after the more vicious looking stuff. =p

My rainbow-colored CSM squad with matching Rhino disagree with that statement. They always get shot first. Opponent's comments have included: "We're here, we're Chaos, get used to it!" "Chaos pride!" and "So that's the 'don't ask, don't tell' squad?"

Don't compare hetero-challenged chaos marines to orks with flair!

Did you just accuse speed freaks of being cheese? o.O

Snakebites wuz ere

Goffz is da fay-gutz

this right here.

always down for a fellow waaaagher tho

Not my cup o tea at all.
But I bet those are VERY distracting in a game. There might be something to all the winning lol

That is awesome!

These Orks make me want to smoke drugs.

Pretty funny, but I think I'd get tired of a joke army after one or two games.

Haha,all of you are wrong Deathskulls is da bestest!

Anyway,nice orks.

Do want.
Those are awesome.

Bad moons are the killiest of em all

Joke army? Are you serious? The only joke is people thinking that the Purpleanium Predilection (as my wife has named her army) is beatable. 52 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw. The draw was in a tournament where I suffered a minor loss to a mechanized eldar opponent who scored 1 more killpoint than I did when the game ended (although I still won the tournament because of my other two full point + bonuses massacres), and my draw was against a Nidzilla army against a very good opponent who baited me (and I actually fell for it) so that by the end of the game, we hadn't actually mixed it up yet.

Everyone else has fallen before the pink tide. I don't know where you get off calling something a joke army just because you would paint them differently.

I see it like this: not only do I have a wife, but she also plays 40k. The cost of this situation is that she gets to paint her orks in a girly fashion. Sounds like a pretty winning combination personally.

" not only do I have a wife, but she also plays 40k "

You sir are living the dream. I tip my hat to you.

It could be a nightmare if you use 40k to get away from Peggy Bundy......er, I mean, the wife.

Actually, the reason I married her is because we pretty much have everything in common. We're both gamers, we're both nerds, we like the same kinds of movies...and all that jazz.

When I tell my wife that I'm going to go play a game of 40k, she doesn't say, "Don't you have something better to do?" she says, "How many points?"

My wife actually painted a nid army for me once. I tried to show her how to play 40k, but she just couldn't get it, so I ended up in clix hell for a few months because she figured out how to "stack" her clix builds. I didn't make a big deal about it because I was just ahppy that she was taking interest in gaming at all.

GG

Great looking orks! I've always felt that GW has a bunch of colors that hardly ever get used and I"m glad to see'em get used. I did a simliar thing, being that I'm a guy, with an Ogre army. Ogres with metallic pants, pokadots, tiger strips, and the like.

I had Ghazghkull and friends (hord army)clear the table of my SoB a 1850pt army in 3 turns. My Exorcist were pounding on his mob. All wounds were assigned to grunts. Once he made it to my back field, he tore through my tanks. There are a few BaddAss ork characters.

Ah yes, Ghazghkull and friends took on a Chaos army today in a 2500 point game.

I lost a big shoota on a battlewagon and a squad of trukk boyz, and tabled my opponent. =p
