Tag Archives: Orks
Today the 1,850 tournament at Crossroad Games commences at noon. Because of ‘ard Boyz, I have not played in a tournament since March, so I’m looking forward to today. Time to print off the army list and gather the Boyz into the transport. Waaagh!
Speedmek: Wrap Up
So, now you have an idea the units I use in my Speedmek list and now it’s time to show how that all comes together. This is a list I’m pondering for an upcoming 1,850 tournament at the FLGS.

Speedmek: Fast Attack Choices
Now we move to fast attack for our fourth in the series. You would think that this would be the slot where I invest the most but it’s not. I rely on my troops, the Trukk Boyz, to do the heavy work, or Nobz if chosen. I mostly derive my speed element from Trukks. The other fast choices are there to compliment the core of Trukks, to help ensure the Trukks deliver the Boyz.

Speedmek: Elite Choices
For the second part of the series we’ll cover the elite choices. This really ranges for me a lot. Being that I don’t use the same lists over and over I mix it up and this is one area I can mix it up with a big impact. Let’s cover the more popular choices of mine.

Speedmek: What is it?
Speedmek is a term I’ve used to define the style of my Ork lists. The name rather obviously covers the style, it’s fast with mek elements to it, but I’ve never really gone into any depth on it. I thought I’d give a shot at running a series around my Speedmek style and hopefully share some insightful info and give you something to look forward to, well at least the Ork players out there. My plan is to break down my lists based on the force organization chart but for this entry I’ll try and give an overview of what the style is.

Gamers Just Wanna Have Fun
What constitutes fun inevitably varies player to player but the the truth is that when we play we do want to have fun, well unless you’re a masochist. It’s easy to get caught up in the competitive nature of things. Be that besting your favorite enemy or winning a tournament. Some times you just need to step back and relax. It’s just a game, albeit a game we all obsess about beyond what probably passes for healthy, but a game none-the-less.

Well, the fun part of owning more than one army is, well, playing more than one army. I’ve been running my Orks hard for the past few months and it’s time they take a break. For the Emperor!
Week #3 – June’s Tournament
Last night was the final night for the ongoing tournament. I’m not feeling up to writing a narrative battle report so here’s the breakdown. I played two games last night. My first game was against the best Ork player at the shop, also one of the best players at the shop period. So good in fact that he’s going to ‘ard Boyz Nationals. My list was:

Feeling the urge to write up some form of battle report for the first game in the three week tournament, I wrote a narrative report that I’ve put under Stories titled My Battlewagon! I enjoy creative writing and want to get into it more so I thought this was a good way to get warmed up. Enjoy!
June’s 1,500 Tournament
Crossroad Games is holding a 1,500 tournament this month but it’s being done differently than usual. The store is hosting the semis for ‘ard Boyz this month and wouldn’t be able to also host the normal monthly tournament. So what they’ve decided to do is hold the normal tournament over a three week period on the normal 40K gaming night. You have to stick with your army but can change your list each week. Everything else is normal, army comp scores, painting scores, etc.

Must Have Ork Wargear
In every game I play there is always certain wargear that units have to have. I strongly advocate mixing up your lists as you don’t want people to expect the same thing out of you each game, but when it comes to wargear there are simply must have items for me.
My Top 40K Sites
We all have our favorite 40K sites, those sites we visit daily, weekly, or whatever your free time allows for. I wanted to share my top 40K sites and maybe you’ll find some new favorites. I’m not going to list these in any particular order since it would hurt my brain to really figure out which rank where, they’re all great sites! Without further ado.
When the Planets Align
Some times you wonder if all those beatings you are receiving on the table are finally going to manifest into something more than bruised pride. You tell yourself that with each loss you are learning, and you should be unless your an egomaniac and blame everything but yourself for the loss. So you take another loss, shake hands, collect your army and think about the match and analyze it pondering where your mistakes were, how you could have played it better. You take those lessons in loss to heart, evaluate your list, adjust your tactics and hope the next game fairs better for you.
