Gorzods Bad Moons

Hello everyone, 

It’s time for the Bad Moons to show off their 50 power level for the beginning of the crusade set in the Cassalaian Sector and the planet of Catharn...

I’m not completely familiar with the terminology used in the Crusade section of the rule book but here’s the starting 25 power level list out of the 50 for Gorzods Orks.

A Bad Moon Warboss Gorzod is going to be portrayed as a more intelligent Warboss for an Ork at least who’s favoured deity is Mork. 

Although with his battlefield decisions being made by me some mistakes will definitely be made regarding his tactics in the heat of battle. 

We then have Gorzods Boyz, which will be the first boyz to travel to the surface of Catharn with him in a big unit of 30. 

This is try and give them some survivability as their lifespan will be particularly short especially against the Tau! 

The Ardboyz stratagem may be used in order to give these a 5+ save to again save a few of them where possible. 

To back them up we then have the Stormboyz to provide some deep striking movement in the early stages. Although Tau overwatch may mean these guys struggle and possibly not get in at all if they fail a charge. 

Finally it’s Gorzods Uva Boyz. Just a unit of ten these will have to try and stay out of the way and claim an objective. 

I’m wanting to try going infantry focused initially but we’ll see how this goes with the shooting they’ll face, including a Trukk would have been nice but at 25 Power it’s not really possible. Unless I go for smaller units of boyz.

So there you have it, Gorzods initial scouting force who will be making planetfall. 

It’s going to be hard playing against the Tau with Orks so there will be a lot to learn and I think we may have to adapt the force as things progress to having some transports and some shooting but we’ll see! 

I’ll be providing some initial narrative for why Gorzod is at Catharn soon in another post and then I’ll also show the full 50 power level roster.

Bad Moon Orks: Trukk

Hello everyone,

Just a quick post today while I’m on my break at work, just to get my already completed Bad Moon Ork Trukk up on the blog!

I’ll also give you sneak peak at what else I’ve started to work on making this my 8th painting update! 

I’ve been meaning to do this for a while but I’m just about to finish my second Trukk so i’ll have that up in a painting update tomorrow hopefully! 

The idea is to have the Tankbustas riding in this one and a squad of 10 Ork boyz in the second Trukk to give them some protection! 

I’ll probably never use the wrecking ball but it gives it some variety at least! 

I really like the idea of using them to charge enemy units first and therefore soaking up their overwatch before the boyz charge in after! 

As for the painting competition I think I am unlikely to  win but I have still been making good progress with my Bad Moons and I have a couple of models almost ready to show on the blog. 

However, here’s a work in progress shot of my Weirdboy! 

There’s plenty more to do yet but I’m really happy with how he’s coming out so far. 

I’ve tried to challenge myself with some blending on the horns and staff so I’m quite pleased with how it’s turned out! 

Thanks again for reading and I should have another post up tomorrow!

Bad Moon Orks: Kills Kans

Hello everyone, 

Another quick throwback post to get all of my finished Bad Moons models onto the blog! 

Next up it’s the Killa Kans...

I do love these models and they’re potentially my favourite in the ork model range alongside the Battlewagon.

They’re a pain to paint though as I spray them corax white first and then apply yriel yellow before filling in the other base colours which takes an age to get it neat before the washes!

Its a shame they’re pretty awful in the game and quite expensive! 

I armed them both with rocket launchers but they’re just too expensive to be worth taking. 

I am however planning on completing six when I get around to doing them. I’ll probably just field them all with big shootas to minimise the points cost of the unit. 

They’ll look great though.

I am also planning on doing an Ork Big Mek themed list so these will be a big part of that. A Gorkanaut and Megadreads will also be a big chunk of the list. 

As the competition heads into its final month I am now on 670 points. 

I’ve definitely got my work cut out for me so stay tuned to find out what I manage to finish! 

Thanks for reading and have a good weekend!

Bad Moon Orks: Battlewagon

Hello everyone, 

I’m back to show you parts of my Bad Moon Ork army that are already completed. 

Next up it’s the Battlewagon! 

I completed this a while ago now but it’s not been posted on the blog yet.

It’s definitely one of my favourite Ork models in the range. 

It did take me a long time paint but it’s probably one of the best models I’ve painted. 

It’s used to transport my Warboss Gorzod or Great Zod to his underlings and his body guard of Meganobz.

I’ve already completed 4 Meganobz but I’ve just finished a 5th today that I will be showing off next week. 

I also tend to field it with a Big Mek armed with a kustom force field inside because it’s a bullet magnet!

 

I’ve just started work on the Dakkajet today so hopefully I’ll get that painted as quickly as possible. 

Don’t forget to check out Battleground gaming if you’re looking to buy any new models at a discounted rate!

Aveinus Kaane Painting Update 5

Hello everyone, 

I’m back to finally show you the finished squad of Tankbustas! 

Another painting session with Kaelo and Ghroll meant I managed to power through and complete the last two. 

Both of these two are kitbashes using the Lootas kit. 

The rockets on the Loota are from the Meganobz kit too. 

On the right I’ve used the arms from a Burna Boy and just chopped the flamer off and stuck another rocket on the end! 

All da boyz. I’ll be basing them once the painting competition is over as it’s not required to gain the full points. 

I’ve now built a Dakkajet and that’s just waiting to be sprayed. In the meantime I’m going to try and finish my fifth Meganob. 

So with finishing these two it’s an extra 80 points with the post, meaning I’m now on 630 points going into the last month! 

Thanks again for reading,
