Painting too many orks

Granddad!
My mate did some Orks with a Matrix theme, had \'em doing cartwheels while shooting, running along walls etc
looked pretty cool

Mick that does sound pretty interesting, any way you could get a sample pic of one?

I would like to maybe greenstuff some matrix leather jackets on them ... I might even call the leader morpheus!

OMG THE POSSIBILITIES!

i\'m attempting to batch paint 1500 pts of orks (some 80 infantry models)

i\'ve decided to drybrush them in batches of 5... it\'s still tooo boring . so far i finifhed 15 or so.

i keep starting new projects because of the sheer boredom and repetition.

I have been working on my orc army (WFB) since 2002. For me painting orks is a easy as breathing.

Minis that are unpainted on my shelf ready to finish off the army:

5 Orc bosses 1 mounted
4 orc shamans
3 night goblin shamans
100 orc boys
20 arrer boys
160 night goblins
15 fanatics
25 squig hoppers
35 squigs 20 handlers
100 goblins
4 goblin chariots
3 orc chariots
60 black orcs
30 savage orcs
40 wolf riders
2 giants
30 spider riders

That\'s totals to about what... 75 points?

I have always dreamed of having 2500 points of each type of orc and goblin.

I know they have the Apocalypse rules for 40K; is there something similar for Fantasy that would allow you to actually use all those?

heh, that isnt all that much stuff

Fantasy is more about units, you get bonus\'s for the more troops you have in one particular unit

Most of the time you have 1 unit go against another 1 unit in which some of the roles of close combat resolution apply and it is good to have more guys than the other person does

some bonus\'s include
1.) you simply have more guys than him so you get +1 combat resolution
2.) you have more ranks of troops, you get +1 bonus for every rank beyond the first, max is a bonus of +3 (4 full units)

Also if you win the combat round you can move your remaining guys to the flank of your opponents unit and take away his rank/file bonus then in the following turn you can move to his rear and he cant flee

From what I was told GW is making a game like Apocalypse for Fantasy called Apocalypta (or something like that). Again this is what I was told and have not been able to verify it.
