before i start-
mods, if its not okay to have this on this forum then feel free to move it or cancel it or whatever. i know this is a space marine site, so i wont take offence.

so, while my minis are still freshly primed, the brainchild of my ideas.

my goal is to create an ork warband that is, essentially, pre heresy. and i know you are all now thinking" BLASPHEMY! this is a site for the emperors finest!" and "die foul xenos b*****d!" but i just ask you to bear with me.

i plan to do this by doing the following:

- use no post heresy space marine equipment ( armor, bolters, salvaged vehicles, etc)
- use a minimum of newer xenos races in my conversions ( no tau, other new races)
- dulling down my own equipment to reflect the 10,000 years lost in the translation ( a little less dakka :lol: )




if anyone has not read the new codex, it is awesome. it provides a huge section on the culture and background as well as the orks through the ages. however, the true wonder lies in the army list. the new rules make orks alot of fun to play with. for the cost of a squad of 5 termies with upgrades, i can get 12 warbikes to scoot around on, each with a 4+ armour and cover save, and 3 shots.


anyway, i think my models are dry now, and its time to start painting!

updates in a couple of days.

thanks for reading my stuff,

Not at all - I'd LOVE to see more people taking on PH Orks and so on! :D

Bolters were around pre-Heresy, they feature heavily in the novels etc.

I will move this thread to the Xenos section of the board, but please keep us updated - look forward to seeing pics!

oooh sounds intresting
pitures soon please :)

Interesting.

Having read through the new Ork Codex is has to be said - they've got the potential to be even meaner than the old Codex, every Ork has Furious Charge and is Fearless in Mobs of 11 or more! Not bad for 6pt Troops! True no more 4+ best save from choppas but that's only really useful against Marines and Chaos Marines.

Looking forward to pics.

i mihgt need a read of this new codex :D

sounds good :D

sooooo
another day, another freakin struggle.
i had 4 exams today... pretty harsh... and i havent painted anything except the boltgun metal on a couple of ladz and the bikes. also, my orkhide shade is currently at my buddys house, so i gotta get that figured out

- @ roahnboi: DO IT. so much cool stuff... theres a warboss that makes all bikes troop choices, and a seperate damage chart for the Trukk, which can allow your trukk to "kareen" 3d6 inches before the models disembark. The flashy gitz have also evolved alot,
- @ shroud: i am well aware of the bolter situation. i meant that i would be using more old style bolters without many modifications. in case your wondering this applies to the different marks of the armor, and no predator looted tanks. ( well annihilators at least.)


however, i am having trouble deciding if i want to do a klan, or make up my own colour scheme. the goffs have me almost hooked. any ideas or even a hint of an idea would be appreciated.


thats all for now... the boyz are calling. now i get to paint boots and pants! HOORAY.

as always,
WAAAAGH

Instead of HOORAY, shouldn't have been.

'Ere We Go, 'Ere We go...... :D
