I Started the Orks for a 500pt campaign that was ran at my local club (see sig), as a veteren Tau player I was looking forward to playing an army that enjoyed CC rather then constantly trying to escape from it. The campaign was 500pts, but you had 750pts that you could choose from to make a force for each game. I stuck with a simple core of two large boy squads (inc nob PK), led by a weirdboy. I enjoyed a lot of sucess with this "too many boyz to kill list". I therefore decided to expand to orks with a hope of making them in to a new tournament list for the GT (well until they ruined the the GT with no final).
I'd had been thinking about a maxed out boyz/kan list for a while, a walking wall of av11 sounded good and the general list in my head seemed fluffy and characterful without being cheesy, or the boring battlewagon spam. However not really wanting to spend £100 on dodgy GW metal (i've heard the Kan horror stories) I waited and even considered calling in my free commision with my good friend Col.G to make some scratchbuilt kans. However I was rewarded a few weeks later when rumours surfaced of a new plastic killa kanz being released in March:- I therefore became the owner of 9 Kanz on the 6th of March. Having not really painted a new army since the Tau (except a long term Lizardmen and Daemon hunter project), I was looking to do the orks
well, but did not relish the idea of painting 90+ boyz. I was advised to try out the "new" foundation paints and washes - and I was really amazed by the results.
So anyway, that was several months ago and here is some of the progress I have made so far. My original goal was 1500pts by October (first GT heat), however with my new found enjoyment of painting I think that will easily be achievable.
The core of my 1500pts:
3 x 30 boyz with nob upgrade, powerclaw and boss pole.
3 x 3 Kanz with a combination of rokkits and Grotzooka.
