The AoBR box is great for its price. You get the mini-rule book, templates, and some models with great sculpts.

So far I've been using the Space Marine models for "Can Opener" and "Crazorback". Now I'm going to use the Ork models for my first Ork army.

The make up of the army will mostly utilize the AoBR boxes (3 of them). I'll add to them some Battlewagons and a Thraka model.

So we're looking at an army of Slugga Boyz, Nobz, MegaNobz (the warbosses for AoBR), Thraka, and Battlewagons.

So far I've put together 2 AoBRs worth of Orks.

Here are the sprues from AoBR.



Here are some of da boyz. They are leaning against the desk so that they can stay up while the glue sets.


More slugga boyz... a couple of them with big shootas.


here are the Nobz and Boss... I like the variety you get in the look of the orks.


Even though these models didn't have any alternate options they still look great and were fun to put together.


This guy is just awesome... he's got the 2 B's going for him... Big and Bad...


These were fun to make... I think I like them better than the metal ones... not that I've bought the metal ones but these just look cooler.

Looking good, can't wait to see them painted!

Tips while they're still unpainted, convert a couple of the nobs to have power klaws, since you'll want one in pretty much every boys squad you have

He does have a point. You dont want the mobs seeing a scary marine and running away now.

Thanks for the suggestions folks! Maybe for the third box of AoBR models I'll try out some conversions.

Here is the list btw... but it might change to reflect PCs on the Nobz leading the Boyz.

Black Reach Waaagh!

AoBR is one of the best thing that happened to 40k. Looking good for now, now good luck with the painting

I concur - AoBR was a really great move by GW. IMO the best starter kit they've done thus far.

This will no longer be called the Black Reach Waaagh!

A new list has been developed and I will be building off that. It will be sort of a showcase of ork stuff hence the new name. It is 2500 points.

Here is the list:

The store where I got these also had an old Trukk kit. I think I'll snatch that up next shopping trip.
