More Orks

I had a good amount of time to work on my army yesterday but Tuesday is getting closer.  I finished up the shoota orks and base primed the Lootas.  I hope to start painting them today.  I also put together my 2nd Ork trukk.

Ork Shooter Boyz

Everything I'm hearing is that the shooter boyz are more important now in 6th edition.  A big part of this seems to be the overwatch shots when they are charged and the nastyness of the quantity of shots they can put out.  Time to finish painting them up.  I finished 7 of the 18 I currently have back in 2010.  I guess I should have done the other 11 by now.  The paint will be a little different since I moved to master series but they are orks so matching was never important to them.

Ork Army WIP

I'm gong to try and start posting more work in progress rather then just a post when I finish a certain mini.  Last night was a pretty good hobby night.  I'm getting ready for the Tuesday night hobby league so I concentrated on finishing some orks.  I built 4 lootas and the Mek.  Then worked on painting some of the shoota boys.Over the last 2 days I finished 5 of the 11 that I have unpainted.

Newly assembled Ork Lootas and Mek

Orks on a stick anyone?

Finished Ork Shoota ready for a hard candy coating

Warhammer 40K League

Well I took a trip to Texas Toy Soldiers to take a look at their Tuesday night league.  There were around 12 players of all different skill levels all looking for games and willing to help new players out.  The scoring system for the league puts a premium on playing and less on winning so it seemed inviting to me. Time to break out the orks and wage WAAAAAAGH!!!  Hopefully I can start posting some battle reports soon.

Reaper 14362 Clutchling Spearman

I figured it was time to knock out a group of 5 reptus spear men.  I'm looking forward to see how they preform with reach.  I'm wondering how they will work teamed up with turtles.  Use the turtles as shields and use reach to go over the top.  might be fun to try out.
