What should I do?

Posted on October 20, 2011 07:00 am by Stealthy Stealth

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.  Read more...

Orks: My Realization

Posted on September 8, 2011 09:07 am by Thor

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.  Read more...

A Bit of a Break and Changing Gears

Posted on August 19, 2011 09:14 am by Thor

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.  Read more...

June’s Team Tournament Conclusion

Posted on June 20, 2011 08:49 am by Thor

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.  Read more... (1129 words, 1 image, estimated 4:31 mins reading time)

Weekly Battle: Apocalypse Can Be Fun

Posted on June 2, 2011 12:00 pm by Thor

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.  Read more... (575 words, 1 image, estimated 2:18 mins reading time)

Battle for the Burbs Report

Posted on March 14, 2011 08:40 am by Thor

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.  Read more...

Ork Tournament List and Quick Report

Posted on March 3, 2011 09:21 am by Thor

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.  Read more... (729 words, 1 image, estimated 2:55 mins reading time)

Battle Report and Special Ops Play Testing

Posted on February 24, 2011 09:09 am by Thor

Last night Fate’s Angels squared off against some Orks. I was happy to get the chance to try my hand at the greenskins with my Marines. I’ve been playing a lot of other Marines lately and wanted to see how my list would fair against something more numbers heavy. It was also my first chance to play test the Special Ops mission I wrote a few weeks back.  Read more... (908 words, 1 image, estimated 3:38 mins reading time)

Campaign Report: Second Week – Team Game

Posted on January 20, 2011 11:38 am by Thor

Having played our mega-battle the other week and teams now set, last night we played a team game for the campaign. Each team determined the players on their side who would pair up and then who they played was determined randomly. My Orks paired off with a Necron player (who normally plays Space Wolves), and we faced a Tyranid and Blood Angel army. The other game was Daemons and Space Wolves (my team), against Imperial Guard and Necrons (other team).  Read more... (594 words, 1 image, estimated 2:23 mins reading time)

Quick Report: January Team Tournament

Posted on January 18, 2011 08:28 am by Thor

Saturday was the monthly tournament at the LGS. This month was a random partner team tournament: 1,250 per-player with 1 HQ, 0-1 Elites, 1-3 Troops, 0-1 Fast Attack and 0-1 Heavy Support with the ability to double up one 0-1 slot. We had a pretty good showing with 10 teams (20 players), and I was paired up with a Tyranid player who I’m acquainted with, a co-worker of Kamui. I’d run through his list but I’m still terrible at remembering Nid unit names. I had my Necrons and ran this list here.  Read more... (633 words, 1 image, estimated 2:32 mins reading time)

Campaign Report: Mega-battle

Posted on January 6, 2011 10:15 am by Thor

At the LGS we began a campaign last night. The first battle was simple, bring 500pts and join the free-for-all mega-battle. We had 12 of us last night and so we set up an 8′x8′ table and commenced the chaos.  Read more... (410 words, 1 image, estimated 1:38 mins reading time)

500pt Ork List for Upcoming Campaign

Posted on January 2, 2011 10:02 am by Thor

At the LGS we’re going to be doing a campaign starting next week. The first game is a mega-battle. An old fashioned free-for-all with however many players attend. It’s set for 500pts with a limited force org: 1 HQ, 1 Troop, and 0-1 everything else with the ability to double up any slot other than HQ. After pondering over a few different ideas I’ve settled for this:  Read more... (287 words, 1 image, estimated 1:09 mins reading time)
