Ben’s Thoughts on the New Ork Models

Ben has been texting me about Orks this weekend. I wanted to share some of his thoughts.

“I have a small ork army, which I’ve been wanting to move to being a bit bigger. Spending £30 to keep playing with the same models has not convinced me I should progress the army. Instead I’ve spent £95 mostly on 2nd hand Tyranids. Only £20 went to GW the rest has gone to ebay sellers for more of the same. I’d love to be spending money on new GW kits but they are too expensive and not that nice to look at compaired to the old metal models. I’d sonnet get the old stomper over the new Morkanought. The new Shock attack gun it yuk, as is the head on the Ork firing it. If I did add a shock attack gun to my Ork army and I don’t think a shock attack gun is any where near the top of my list, I’d try to find and old finecast or metal model.

So that’s Ben’s take on the new Ork models. What is yours? Personally I like the artillery.

Go on, let me know which one you think looks better?.

Old School Killa Klan or is it a Deff Dreg

While this is proper old school, it’s not the original Rogue Trader era Orky Dreadnought, which is in the Ork Gallery somewhere. Painted in the colours of the Evil Suns from a time when the klans would unite to fight a Wargh under a big boss. The current plastic kit is clearly superior, however there is still an Orky charm to this old fella.

Today’s Picture: 40k is a Mindfield

Seventh edition certainly is a minefield. One of which I have no personal experience. However because a good mind field can only heighten the enjoyment of a game of 40k, a post on chapter Masters is certainly warranted. This is the limited-edition minefield which was available at the time the planet strike expansion was released. Some four years later Ben has just got around to painting it.

Greater good

Today’s picture is for the greater good however has 7th edition been great for the Tau I haven’t yet had chance to find out myself. I am however looking forward to doing so as I was getting bored of winning with my Tau don’t get me wrong winning is good but when you know pretty much whats going to happen each game it really takes the fun out of playing and is no challenge.
