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 😬

Buncha Nobz!!

Rebasing continues, this time some ancient nobz from 25mm to 40mm.

I was worried they'd be a little swamped by the 40mm size but I think they're looking alright.

Should probably touch up the paint chips before they go back in the foam 🤔 

Back to Base ics

Update, finished the test bases.

Cygor brown contrast over the sand, mournfang brown drybrush with averland sunset light drybrush. Static grass and more mournfang for the rim, to match my modern colour choice 

Does the job and not too time consuming...

Just the couple hundred to go...

Base ic Life Skills

 Sooo, I've started rebasing my orks to more modern sizes of base.

I'm mostly using base converters from hobby heaven, plop your old base model into the converter, sized up i

n seconds.

The tricky bit is going to be trying to match the basing material to the old version.

Here's some boyz to test out how easy this part will be!

Sand added to the wider base part.

You can see a small dip between the old and new base, nothing a bit more pva and sand or strategic static grass wouldn't fix!

I will be painting the sand to blend with the old material and adding more grass.

Fingers crossed it all works out...
