Dakkarigged to Blow: Orks vs Tyranids

All aliens all the time - it's a double Xenos throw-down as Pootle tests the waters of eleventh edition.

Black Hole Sunz: Raven Guard vs Orks

Pootle here! I'm kicking off my actions in the next phase of the campaign with a new army (for me). My fleet has moved to the Transcaridian Docks and will attempt a planetary invasion against jhnlk's Xenos; I’ve chosen to defend this planet with a new army for me - Orks! I've decided to use my son's Raven Guard for the first time, so it's new armies for both of us.

Falling With Style

 

Random conversion for you today; very silly but tremendous fun and I'm really pleased with how it's turned out.

Weekend at Burnie’s 5 - Day 2: Orks vs Imperial Fists

Pootle here with the write-up of my final game at this year's Weekend at Burnies against Vertica40k (who I played a 2k game against not so very long ago). At one level it was a shame not to play against one of the other amazing armies on display who I'd not faced before, but after four games my brain was a little frazzled so it was good to play against a familiar army led by a general with exactly the right attitude of wanting a relaxed game to end the weekend on.

Weekend at Burnie’s 5 - Day 2: Orks vs Black Templars

Pootle here again! With batteries recharged, my first game on the second day of Weekend at Burnies was against Warsmith Chris, who stepped into a gap left by someone who didn't make it back in time. I've not played against Black Templars before, but once again it's great to have a narrative-friendly match-up for the Orks.

Weekend at Burnie’s 5 - Day 1: Orks vs Dark Angels

Pootle again, writing up the third game of day 1 at this year's Weekend at Burnies, which was against Simon's Dark Angels. My brain was somewhat frazzled by this point, but at least I'd already got some practice in against a Land Raider Redeemer stuffed full of Aggressors earlier in the day

Weekend at Burnie’s 5 - Day 1: Orks vs Leagues of Votann

Pootle here, reporting in on my second game at this year's Weekend at Burnie against Primaris_Dave's gorgeously painted Leagues of Votann (so gorgeous that he won the "best painted army" prize for them). I've never faced Votann before but am aware of how dangerous their judgement can be.

Weekend at Burnie’s 5 - Day 1: Orks vs Crimson Fists

Pootle here, reporting on my third Weekend at Burnies event, which was just as much fun as the previous editions and kicked off with an awesome game againt CrashOverride's Crimson Fists.

Waaaght a Terrible Smell!: Death Guard vs Orks

 Pootle here with a quick nudge towards YouTube where you can find my Orks up against Winters SEO's Death Guard.

Orkhammer 1990

 

Pootle here with pics of a few proper Oldhammer Orks I've painted up.

Orkyo Drift: Necrons vs Orks

 I feel the need!

Ork-mented Reality: Orks vs Space Marines

'Ere We Go!

I, Pootle, am extremely keen to try out my newly modelled Warboss Bludteef in battle, as well as the Tempest of War card deck I've recently acquired. I, Stylus, hava volunteered to face them and picked a list from the Ultramarines.

The Return of the Mork

Pootle here with a quick summary of my newly modelled Ork Warboss, Bludteef.

Armies on parade

Pootle here! Stylus has been gently suggesting I update my army pages, partly so that when I host a game over Skype my opposing general can see what models he can choose from, but mostly so he can get a look at what I've been up to as I'm not at all as assiduous in posting pics of all the miniatures I paint as he and Kraken are. So here's a quick summary and links to each of my armies where I’ve got pics of (almost) everything I’ve painted.

Be'La dancing with Bludteef: Orks vs Daemons

Pootle here! My Ork Warlord, Bludteef, has once more been reassembled from the component parts strewn across the last battlefield he fought on and this time is leading an army drawn from the new codex; maybe that will inspire him to survive a game for the very first time...

Facing the Orks is a host of daemons led by Kasfunatu and, for the first time in nearly a year, we're playing face to face! Kas has painted up a fabulous Be'lakor model who will spearhead a host of Tzeentch and Slaanesh daemons.

Tactorkal Objectives: Orks vs Death Guard

The Evil Sunz Waaagh! hit the immovable object of a Death Guard armoured patrol.

Who will survive this maelstrom of war?

Maelstrork of Waaagh! Orks vs Alpha Legion

Bludteef's Evil Sunz have been fighting on two fronts on Bagot Prime against the Ultramarines and the forces of Nurgle, but unbeknownst to the Orks, there's something fishy going on: today's marines are armoured like the Purge but are actually from the Alpha Legion. Kraken will be piloting the Alphas over Skype whilst I, Pootle, take command of the Orks. We're testing out the new Maelstrom of War rules, but my big question for tonight is simple: can Bludteef actually survive a battle?

Hunted by the Red Orktober: Orks vs Death Guard

Bludteef's Ork warband have been battling the Ultramarines on Bagot Prime for several months now. Bludteef himself has recovered from the mauling he took from the boys in blue and what remains of his vital organs (mostly teef) have been transplanted into a new cybork body. Now his Meks have intercepted a strange signal coming from an equatorial part of the planet. It sounds like the Ultramarines are up to something, and Bludteef is keen put a stop to whatever the beakies are doing. 

But something else is going on. Many years ago a shrine to Nurgle was built in a radioactive part of the desert. The wasteland has since been mined for the uranic deposits, but the workings have in turn fallen into disrepair and the desert is reclaiming the area. Unaware of other forces interested in the plant, the Death Guard are now looking to take back the shrine for reasons known only to themselves. 

Never mind, Bludteef came to kill marines, and these ones look half dead already, so it should be easy to finish them off...

Raiders of the Lost Ork: Ultramarines vs Evil Sunz

An Ultramarines patrol has run into more representatives of the Ork incursion on the remote world of Bagot Prime. Warboss Bludteef is missing, having his Cybork body rebuilt after the last encounter between these armies, but there are plenty of Evil Sunz left to cause trouble. 

Tonight I, Pootle, am hosting Rapid (in fetching bold italics) for his first foray into 9th edition. 

Bludteef's Return: Ultramarines vs Evil Sunz

Three centuries ago, the Imperial world of Bagot Prime was attacked by an Ork Warlord, Bludteef. Beaten off and thought long-dead, all signs are pointing to his re-emergence. An Ultramarine strike force assembles to crush this growing menace before it can get out of control. But is it already too late?
