Orks are back? Bring out the Shuriken Cannons.

Yeah! The boyz in green are back with style, and it looks like a majority of players in my local gaming shop are bringing back their green tides. The new rules for charging with orks have really given them a great edge, and gaining hammer of wrath with big groups of boyz is particularly hilarious. However, it’s pretty terrifying for my Dark Eldar. So what will I do? 

Rumour Watch: 40k Radio on Orks.

Alright, so 40k Radio just dropped this:

Upcoming battle report - Orks vs Nids

As our regular readers may know, Ruby and I are big fans of testing out the latest stuff released from GW. While we may not be the quickest on the uptake, we like to think that we're more balanced in our approach.

To this end, we have scheduled a 2k point battle: Orks vs new Nids.

"But there are no new Orks, that's not fair on you, and the new Nids are so OP!" I hear you cry but fear not, while Ruby will be taking the bulk of his new Tyranid force (assuming he builds them in time), I will be fielding an Ork Stompa to even the field.

We will have a full battle report for you soon. Let the stomping commence!

The Zombie Apocalypse

As some of you have read in recent posts, Crazy424 likes his meta-lists. The most recent of these takes the form of a couple of HQ choices and lots of Zombies with some Chaos Spawn thrown in for good measure. I'm always up for disproving meta-lists so we arranged a 1500pt, three player 'Battle Royale', Ruby playing his beloved Space Marines, Crazy424 playing a version of the Zombie list (with 100+ Zombies) and me playing mostly Orks (with a Wraithknight thrown in just because Ruby hates it).

Ethereal Snatch, The Campaign Begins!

Siceralc - Over the last few weeks most of us have been playing the meta pretty hard, and we've decided to give it a break and indulge our desire for fluff. What follows is the first of several scenarios we plan on playing over the next few months, and we hope to develop the games as we go along. The suggestion has also been made that we flesh out these scenarios with some narrative fluff, so with no further adieu I give you Part One of the Perdus Rift Campaign, story and battle report.

Battle Report: Chaos Demons vs Orks

This week, Ruby and I decided that we'd play a small 1000pt game with our secondary armies - Ruby's Chaos Demons vs my Orks. As the game approached and we were both busy reading our codexes, we started to come up with new units that we wanted to try but didn't have the models for. In the end, we're both pretty easy-going gamers so we decided to allow proxying and came up with 1500pt army lists:

Battle Report - Tau and Eldar vs Orks

We know you love hearing about how Ruben and I mess up the rules and have the tactical IQ of lemmings but it's time for this week's battle report - Ruben's Tau and Chris's Eldar vs Chris's Orks.

Black Templar Codex? Space Marines in September?

Well Natfka dropped a bombshell onto the community a few minutes ago. A source has been sighted saying that not only will we be seeing Orks in 2013, we will be seeing Black Templars as their own codex.
