Lamentations of an Ork Player
Where to begin? I suppose it doesn’t matter seeing as this article will have very little structure to it, unless you count pissing and moaning as structure. My FLGS is hosting a 40K tournament this Saturday. It’s a hobby focused event that’s heavy on the army composition. Being the masochist I am, I decided to bring my Orks out of retirement. A decision I’ve regretted since I conceived it.
Tankbustas with Tankhammers Complete
In preparing for the April Assault this month at my FLGS I had to get two Tankbustas with tankhammers built and painted. Doubly so because last week this unit of Tankbustas, in no small part due to these tankhammers, took down a Baneblade in one assault phase. If nothing else they earned the right to be painted, as they were built at that point.
Spectre Studio Character Video Battle Report: Apocolypse!
Well I finally was able to get on of our Studio BatRep with yours truly Thor into this video battle report. The members of our FLGS were intent on pushing Imperial Armor Forgeworld models into our upcoming tournaments so the Apocalypse idea for our regular Wednesday was a great format to showcase them. Amberclad87 then thought filming this fight would be very cool so we went for it and did.

Hobby: Tankbustas WIP
This month my FLGS is hosting a large 40K tournament and I decided to bring my Orks for it. The only thing I need to get done on the hobby front for them is two Tankbustas with tankhammers. It’s a conversion I’ve needed to do for a while now but with my Orks having been relegated to the shelf lately, well I haven’t had much of a need to accomplish it until now.
Battle Report: Orks vs Blood Angels
In preparation for next month’s tournament we all got in some practice at my FLGS. I’ve decided to run my Orks for the event just to change it up from my routine. The list I was testing is here: http://cmdctr.net/lists/796.
Thor’s Workbench: Obliterators on Hold, Enter Orks
One thing I’ve learned with painting is when the going gets rough take a break. I’ve been busting my butt trying to get my Obliterators done the last few weeks and they’d be done except for something that’s been nagging me. I put up some shots of me attempting OSL (object source lighting), the other day. Well, I’m happy with how the radiant light element has come along since that post, the reflections on the armor, but not so much with the power fists, the source.

April Tournament: Which Army…
Next month my FLGS is hosting a large tournament with 34 players. It’s a hobby oriented event and so scores for comp, painting and sportsmanship will be given. I’m trying to decide which army to bring. I’m debating between two.

What should I do?
The local guys are throwing a semi big one day fluff tournament. Painting scores and fluff are big. So I will be bringing my Mek Ork list. This has the best paint and the most conversion work out of any of my armies. I will put some photos up in the next week. This is the list.
Orks: My Realization
Last night at my FLGS I played a game with my Orks, which I haven’t done in five months. This month’s tournament will score painting and then in November, details coming soon, we’ll be hosting a large hobby tournament. I figured since I’ve played the hell out of my Marines that I’d toss down Orks for these events, seeing as my Chaos force is still in the modeling stages.
A Bit of a Break and Changing Gears
With ‘ard Boyz over, and not having qualified for regionals, it’s time to set aside my Marines for a while and focus on my Chaos army. For the past eight months I’ve played the hell out of my Marines and though I’m far from bored with them, rather the beauty of Marines if you ask me, I want to get my Chaos army on its feet.

June’s Team Tournament Conclusion
The team tournaments at the LGS are probably the most looked forward to events we have. It’s generally 1,000 to 1,250 per-player so beginners can generally make the points and having a partner always lends a different atmosphere to the games. This past Saturday was no exception for turnout with 20 players in attendance.

Weekly Battle: Apocalypse Can Be Fun
This month we began what will become a monthly routine at the LGS with the first 40K night of the month being Apocalypse. I had reservations about this because I’ve only played a handful of times, the first time being not fun at all and really putting me off. The second time wasn’t so bad but still not all that much fun.

Tournament: Battle for the Burbs Report
Saturday, March 12th, was the Battle for the Burbs, an even put on by the Dorkamorka club in Watertown, MA. It was a 1,750 tournament for 30 players, though only 24 made it, that was heavy on the soft scores. Normally I’m all about keeping soft scores out of a tournament in determining the winner but really I thought it was a nice change of pace. Sometimes you have to mix it up to keep things fresh and fun. Six of us from the LGS Crossroad Games headed down together for a kick ass day of gaming.
Weekly Wrap-up: What a Whirlwind
The week has flown by; no complaints here.
The latest Rok Da Vote closed out and the results can be seen here. I’ve been slacking though and haven’t put up the next poll. Haven’t yet figured out what to put up.

Ork Tournament List and Quick Report
March 12th is a tournament in Watertown, Massachusetts being held by the Dorkamorka group called Battle for the Burbs. It’s a 1,750 tournament with 30 players, the biggest tournament I’ve attended. The event is heavily comped, I’ll save you all from the details, and I’ll be bringing along my Orks for it. I’ve devised a few lists but I think I’ll end up going with this one. It’s a bit different than my usual lists but still the same style.
