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.

Las Vegas Open Results

I had a blast in the Warhammer 40k Champs at the Las Vegas Open. I went with my buddy, Kyle and slugged it out for 3 days of gaming, big crowds, and casino food. Here are a few pics from the event. I only went 1-5 in the Champs and 1-1 in the Sunday RTT but it was still a great weekend of playing games. Two of my losses were a combined 5 points and I felt so close to having a .500 weekend.  Pro tip: Thunder wolf cavalry are tough to play in GW/WTC/Frontline terrain maps. You end up bottlenecked in your own table half. I was my own wolf jail... I'm a little embarrassed by my score, but I learned quite a bit and I think I'm going to focus on my silver Space Marines or Orks for the next year.  #Warhammer40k #lvo2025 #spacewolves40k 

2024 ITC Rankings

Judging by my win-loss record, I've had a terrible year playing Warhammer 40k. Needless to say, I'm flabbergasted at the final rankings of the 2024 ITC season. What?!? I placed in the bottom 10% at the LVO; I placed even worse than players who dropped out after 3 games, so I'm not sure how those points and placings are tabulated, nor how season points are calculated but I'm in the 2,000s for the USA rankings? One bonus though, I'm the top "Dusty" in the world.
