Have you ever seen an unhappy Ork player?

I came to the conclusion a couple of weeks ago that the happiest war gamers; WAAC, fluff bunnies, or beer and pretzel players, etc., all have fun playing Orks.

They are green, have charming accents, use teeth for money, and love a good scrap. If they win, great, it was a fight. If they lose, great, it was a fight!

Since I've been struggling with enjoying mini games and painting lately, I turned back my clock to some of my earliest 40k armies and worked on my neglected Ork hoarde. Since the thermometer did not teach 0 degrees Fahrenheit this weekend, I didn't want to leave my house so I assembled and readied some models that had been mothballed for years.

I made like a crazed mekboy and put some stuff together and I feel like this helped bring some of my mojo back.

I still don't have the urge to get back into competitive play right now, and selling off some of my stuff has felt good, but working on this old favorite army of mine has boosted morale.

Now we wait for the blizzard to pass so I can prime!

Also, I still daydream about a custom Space Marine chapter made of converted models...

Salamanders Badab War Veteran

Primaris Marines are great sculpts, but they will never have the soul of the old hand-sculpted models. The Badab War is my favorite battle in the 40k universe and its one of the reasons that the Salamanders are my favorite Space Marine chapter. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #salamanders #salamanders40k #28mm #spacemarines40k #oldhammer #badabwar #astartes #armageddon40k

Callidus Assassin

This is my newly painted Callidus assassin, Mary Poppin-yourbackfield. She scores points. I hate that I have to play one of these to stay competitive. Yar.

Bad News for Deathwing

The new Balance Data Slate was released today for Warhammer 40k 9th edition and my beloved Dark Angels Deathwing list took a beating. If you don't have the codex, the fourth bullet point was the rule that gave Inner Circle infantry units, like Deathwing Terminators, Transhuman Physiology. Basically, the key feature that most players loved about the list. Rest in peace, Deathwing, we hardly knew ye. Also, what a crappy way to write that rule?! Why not simply include a sentence that says, Inner Circle models do not benefit from transhuman without use of a strategem? I know 10th edition is supposed to be cleaner and easier to understand, but this does not bode well. I'm not really a loyal Dark Angels player (see what I did there?) so I'll just shift back to playing one of my other Marines armies or orks. I've been day dreaming about a Thunder Warriors army again and dug out some bits to work on conversions. I'm loving the idea of a Age of Stryfe White Scars/Star Hunt...
