The Mob Grows

[Sand Rat]

Ok, so here\'s the Orky horde numbers so far -

1 Warboss

2 Meks - scratchbuilt

10 Nobs

36 Ork Boys with Choppas and Slugga\'s (Includes 3 Nobs and 3 Roket Launcha\'s)

36 Ork Boys with Shootas (Includes 3 Nobs and 3 Heavy Shoota\'s)

10 Boys with Slugga\'s and Stikbombs

10 Boys with Shoota\'s and Stikbombs

8 Warbikes

2 War Buggies

1 Truk

1 Deff Dread (scratch building as we speak)

2 Truk\'s waiting in the wings for conversion from 1/25 scale vehicles.


So about 118 orks so far. Any suggestions?

I haven\'t read the codex or anything but how the shock attack gun?

 

[Sand Rat]

Was thinking about adding one at some point - right now I\'ve got an Infantry heavy mob, so the shokk gun might add another heavy support unit.

 

[Roger Bunting]

Incidentally, what points value are you working to, if any, and are you thinking about using any apocalypse formations and units? I have the Imeprial Armour: Apocalypse book and soon I\'ll have the main Apoc. rulebook.

I never thought I would hear me say this as an ork player, but the boyz mobs are too big!

The more boys the better, but game legally you can only have 30 in a mob, with one special weapon per 10 boyz.

You could split them down from two 26 boyz mobs to three 24 boys mobs (or just grab yourself 18 more boyz and have 3 mobs of 30!!!!

You also have one too many HQ choices with the warboss and 2 mekboys. A Mekboy can carry the Shokk attack gun into battle, so if you wanted one, this would fill up a HQ choice and not heavy.

I LOVE the shokk attack gun, and when I have fielded one it has always more than made its points up! Great fun and entertaining too!

orks is best!

squigoth or......... some sort of gargant

Scratch built Deff Copta.
Every home should have one.

 

[Sand Rat]

The larger mobs are actually 3 12 ork mobs added together for convinence of posting.

And I\'m thinking of converting one of the mek\'s into something else.

Although after a quick trip to the LGS I now have a Painboy and a Weirdboy as well.

Might have to use your idea Mike.

 

[Bengoodall]

Every good ork army should have so many heavy weapons choices its gone beyond funny and is now at plain stupid.

MORE DAKKA MORE CHOPPA

 

[Sand Rat]

Well, from the dead silly department I\'ve got one ork with a slugga and a spear - or as we refer to it around the table \"a choppa on a steek!\"

Am now trying to work out the paint schemes and have got some ideas for Deff Coptas - Deff from above!!

 

[Friar]

I saw this a lil while ago and hearin ya talkin bout scratch buildin def kopterz made me think of it.

some good ideas to loot here Da Waaaagh

be sure to post some pics I love seein orky stuff in the works

 

[Sand Rat]

Update -

Was able to locate an Actual Warboss here in Austin - will be picking him up this morning - and coverting the one I built from the new ork box set into something else.

Will try to take a picture of everything and post here today or tomorrow.

Seems like your a bit light on the Heavy Support! Killer Kans are dynamite now with Grots at the helm (again) and a battlewagon or gunwagon would be a great addition as well.

Remember too that with a Big Mek in a HQ slot, you can take an extra heavy support as a troop choice giving you more dreads/kans/tanks/big gunz that you can squeeze into your FOC. I don\'t mean go all beardy either, just that you\'ll need some other big guns to drop stuff on the enemy or extra kans/dreads to shield with while your boyz get into position.

 

[Sand Rat]

Was thinking of some \'Kans as well - just haven\'t gotten that far yet.
