Lots of cool looking Orks @ The Warforge.com

Any new or old Ork players should look for Master Ein for Ork inspiration. His blog at The-Warforge.com shows his very detailed and good looking Ork units. Just check out some of his marvellous work!

 Awesome all round paint and modelling skills. Plus, he's one of the rare Ork Meks that even try LED'ing his models! Just check out the lighted eye in his Killa Kanz and Stompa. Most of his minis have been submitted to coolminiornot.com and been getting good support there. He even created a playable rule for his Warboss Gargrim here. He's the equivalent of the Ultramarines' Marneus Calgar, with his dual shootin' Power Fists.... >:D

Any Ork players should save pictures of his work into computer, cause it's that damn cool.

Inspirational multiple Ork Waaagh Klans

Most of us paint our Orks and wat not in your favourite klan colors. But what if we had multiple klans in your waaagh? Warboss Tae from the-waaagh.com forums just showed us how cool is his army! His army consists of Orks from all da klans roll into one. Very colorful I should say. 

Here is what he have to say about his painting scheme :

Hey Warboss Tae here with my first ever 40k army.

Fluff-wise, it's a freebootin', world-hoppin', fungus-beer-drinkin' mob of orks that have left their separate clans to join Azbag da Stomper'er's space-farin' Waaagh!

I like painting all of the different clans and thought, "Why bog myself down with one of the six clans, when I can paint stuff from each one?" Hence, the freebooter theme.

Also, I thought, why just have squads of each clan (a squad of Deathskull lootaz, a squad of Evil Sunz bikerz) when I can mix em all up? So, my solution was to create the following table and roll a D6 for each model in the unit, to decide what clan the model originally came from, then paint it accordingly. It's kept it fun and kept me interested in continuing to find new and interesting ways to convert and paint the models once I knew where they came from.  

Go check more pictures from the original post here! And here are some samples :

Check out the Grotz looting Imperial Guardmen's gunz and uniforms, da Kool Deffskull Klown, and the "Assashun's Kreed" Deffwing Mega Nobz. It will be much more awesome if he completed his army with Pirate Orks! Or maybe Ninja Orks? This guy inspired me to paint multiple klans in my Waaagh for da perfect harmony! What'cha guys think? Big Waaagh makes Orks happy! >:D

Custom Ork Spotlight : Warlord Nazdreg Ug Urdgrub

When the 2008 Orks codex came out, the first thing I realize after going through the unique characters list is that...there isn't any unique Warboss other than Ghazzie in the Ork codex. This kinda baffles me as Orks are very cool fluff wise, and the lack of unique characters compared to the humies/beakies codex is just ain't nice. FYI, let me run down the Unique characters da Orks currently have :

HQ

Warlord Ghazkull Thraka - Unique Warboss in Mega Armour

Mad Dok Grotsnik - Unique Painboss

Old Zogworth - Unique Warphead

Wazdakka Gutsmek - Unique Big Mek on Custom Warbike

Elites

Boss Snikrot - Unique Kommando leader

Boss Zagstruk - Unique Stormboy leader

Heavy Support

Kaptin Badrukk - Unique Flash Git leader

Only two of the unique characters are competitive tactically (Ghazzie and Snikrot), three who are OK, but rather difficult to use and expensive to field (Mad Dok, Wazdakka, Zagstruk) and two who are not very competitive and costly (Badrukk and Old Zogworth).

Realize the we don't have enough unique Warboss? Or any top notch unique character? That right! So thats why I'm gonna use Warlord Nazdreg and try to fit him in the current metagame! So here you go...

Orky Fort's version of the Bad Moon Warboss in 5th Edition :

Nazdreg        5     3     5     5     3    4    4    9    2+ 

Wargear: Nazdreg has a bosspole, cybork body, mega-armour, stikkbombs and a Kustom Blasta-X (this replaces the normal twin-linked shoota that comes with mega-armour)

Wargear

Kustom Blasta-X:

Nazdreg 'persuaded' a Mekboy to build a powerful special kustom blasta into his mega armour. It is his pride and uses his blasta to blast anything he wishes to. It has the following profile :

                              Range      Str      AP       Special

Kustom Blasta-X       36"             7         2        Assault 1, Blast, Gets Hot!

Mega Booster

Warlord Nazdreg has a extra boost unit fitted to his suit to ensure he don't miss out any chances for a fight. The Warlord is allowed to re-roll his dice for the distance he moves.

Special Rules:

Independent Character, Furious Charge, Mob Rule, Waaagh!

Kunnin' plans: Warlord Nazdreg is known for his low cunning and sneaky plans. To represent this, one elite or troop mob in Nazdregs army can choose to have the Infiltrate ability or Deep Strike rule. If the option Deep Strike is chosen, it maybe used regardless of whether the scenario normally uses these rules. The mob chosen must be on foot and may not number more then twenty models.

Da Bad moon Warboss

Nazdreg allows one Meganobz or Flash gitz mob to be taken as a troops choice. You can also take more upgrade up to two Ork boyz as 'Ard Boyz.

Nazdreg can get one ammo runt for +5 points

So how do you think? Is his point cost good enough? :)
