Ork Dakka

 Meta? More dakka!

Ork shoota boy

I've always enjoyed pirates and I recently took a vacation in the Bahamas and it was hard not to think about playing and painting a pirate miniature game. I doubt my local gaming group would pick up Firelock or another game system, but as I sat on the sand and watched the waves, I toyed with the idea of painting my Orks as Freebooterz. 


I'm repainting my old army already and adding more color would be easy enough to take my Deathskulls in a more swashbuckeling direction. I have some conversation ideas in mind and I'm kind of pumped for this new direction. 

Lore wise, there isn't any conflict as most Freebooterz are made up of outcasts from other clans. Mine will just have a heavy Deathskull contingent. To that end, I put a little purple on this lad's shoota to give him some freebooter flair.

Space Marine Armorium Cherub

Out of all of the horrors in the Warhammer 40k universe, the cherubs creep me out the most... It's one of the most grimdark things in the universe.  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #armoriumcherub #spacemarines #astartes #adeptusastartes #new40k

RTT Tournament results!

  I played in a small RTT in Holton today and went 2-1, finishing 5th and beat one of the top players in our conference! (I sqeaked by with a 1-point victory...) I may have been able to beat my second opponent if had I made better selections for secondary objectives. In hindsight, I could have easily won but no matter how I plan for games on paper, there's no better teacher than experience.  I'm tuning up my list for the Bugeater Grand Tournament next month in Omaha and I think I'm getting close to my final list. It's not anything really nasty, but it's just solid, durable units. I'm digging it.

Warhammer 40k Primarch Rumors

There's are a couple of rumors floating around from Games Workshop about new Warhammer 40k rules and models releases; as well as major changes to the fluff. Rumor 1: All of the Primarchs will return, including the dead. Rumor 2: One of the traitor Primarchs will become a loyalist and one of the Imperial loyalists will become a traitor. I got into a discussion with some people on a thread on Spiky Bits' Facebook page about it and here are my theories. The Emperor will briefly return, only to be killed again. Once he finally dies, all of the pysker souls he's been consuming on the golden throne will coalesce and bring all of the dead primarchs back to life. The missing primarachs will rush back to Holy Terra like moths to a flame. Of course, this means both Horus and Sanguinius have returned as well. Horus will see the results of his actions and will repent his wicked ways, blame Ebrus/Logar and the Word Bearers for tricking him into corruption and turn to the sid...
