Orks, orks, orks.... and Nids

Back to some 40k this week.

First go on the new ork codex!

Needed to get a game in before the flash gitz get nerfed 😶

Deployment 

There's some ravenors and a lictor in reserve...

Here's the flash gitz, looking flashy, in grey 

Orks surge forward, home objective? Pfff

 

The fighting begins!!

Turns out zoanthropes are pretty much the perfect tool for taking out squighog boyz! Still plenty left to put a big dent into the heroic intervening ravenors! 

The Beastboss on squig goes about his monster killing duties.....

......and performs them well! The snagga boyz clear out a warrior squad before before moving on to take out the next.

After the warboss and boyz club the screamer killer to death, with a little help from the flash gitz, there's not many nids left.

And that's where the game ends!

Good outing for the Orks, the flash gitz didn't really get going but laid down one good round of overwatch fire and held onto an objective until help arrived!

Lots more to learn still, including some of the main rules 😬

Hobby Updates

Has a week gone by already?

First up this week, after the picture of a smashed Dark Angel base, is the creature that is now finished.

I picked up a Carnifex when Hobby Craft were having a clear out and had 33% off Games Workshop stuff; and after finishing most of my unpainted models, I fancied a change.
Whether this will lead to any other Tyranids, I don't know, but this monster wasn't the only thing I picked up cheap that day!

 



Since finishing the Carnifex, I have been working on some Flames of War American tanks for Dave

 



Lordybloke played his first game in our new Dead Mans Hand campaign, and decided it was as good a time as any to do some more painting on his Banditos. With three down six half done and plenty more undercoated, this is going to be one big Mexican gang

 

 

 

Zed continues on his Warrior of Chaos painting with more warriors ready for dipping. Hopefully we'll have a completed unit(s) for you next week.

 

 

Cortez is another Lonewolf who has his fingers in many pies. As well as building WW2 models for Zed, he is also painting his Space Wolves and 15mm British for Battlegroup.

Game over Man!!

A Tyranid Hive Tyrant done for Cyrus's son ( yeah right!) hopefully will inspire him to crack on with the rest of the army in time for the next 40k campaign.

The flash makes the highlights look a bit more extreme than they really are...

Teeny weeny

Epic anyone?
I've dug out my Epic Tyranids and decided to paint 20 bases of Termagaunts, only 40 more bases to go, then onto the next lot of beasties....
