Orks have taken over.

This blog may have been quiet lately, but my Ork army has been growing steadily and I played quite a few games with them over the summer holidays, which have all been great entertainment. There have been quite a few welcome convincing wins, which makes a bit of a change for me. With most current armies geared for shooting, my speedy horde has to get across the board quickly and hit hard, which it has done quite well so far.

Since my last update I have finished the Lootas and added a unit of Gretchin along with a couple of Nobs, including a power klaw and Waagh banner.  For my birthday in August I was given a Mek Gun, so next up is a Bubble Chukka and a unit of Burnas with a couple of killsaw-armed Meks.

The Lootas have added some dakka to the army and initially did very well by taking out a Fire Prism on their first ever turn.  They have not done quite so well since then, but opponents always seem to be wary of their potential for carnage.

Getting to shout 'WAAAAGH!' is one of the perks of the army. Unfortunately our GW manager is ex-Army and has politely asked me not to make unexpected loud noises in the shop. Shame!

With my force now reaching 1250 points, there will only be another 250 points until the last part of our Tale of Gamers is declared.  I have enjoyed the competition a lot so far and I am very pleased to have a new army, which is completely different from my Howling Griffons.  I would definitely recommend this type of event to all sorts of gamers, whether in a store or amongst a gaming group.
