Shagrat,
Shagrat: ?In addition to the above, Maksim Smelchak has a sizable ork force, including more stompas than you can shake a stick at, with some... imaginative... conversions. |
I also have large E-A Ork force. I originally wanted enough Stompas and Boyz warbands to field more than 3,000 points of models. I have just kept adding to them (mechanizing them with B-Fs, adding Gun Mobz, more Supa Stompas, custom building Ork Bommas, etc.) and now the group is very large.
I had high hopes the E-A would really make the Orks competitive and a little different than they were before. The differences didn't come, but I think they are adequately competitive although I really miss the early playtest versions when the Orks could field some decent tank armies. They're back to mostly rabble now.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

WAAAGH RIPSKAR!
I've been a Gothic player mainly since 1999 but Da Ladz aren't afraid of getting their boots dirty.
I've just got the rulebook and I'm preparing my Ork horde for landings...

Does no-one else do the basing first then? I find I tend to accidentally run the drybrush over the legs everynow and then so basing first makes things a lot easier.
I'm with da boyz too, since E40k, might as well run through my painting technique (for da standard boyz):
-clip, clean and glue.
-glue sand onto base
-spray black
-Do the bases: paint bestial brown liberally - chestnut ink - drybrush snakebite
-paint the clothing and shoulder pads scab red
-paint the skin goblin green (a sort of careful heavy drybrush so eyes and lip recesses aren't filled)
-paint the guns scab red
-paint the gun holding hand goblin green
-paint the bayonet boltgun metal
-highlight the clothes, guns and shoulder pads with blood red
-highlight the trousers codex grey (looks a little messy actually but is absolutely fine from above)
-paint the sides of the base bestial brown
-bleach bone round the big gun, then skull white (I find white doesn't paint well straight onto black)
-patch some watered down glue onto the base in 'grass-growthy-looking-patterns' and dunk in some GW flock (it's better than the local railway shop's stuff, imo... if about thrice as expensive  )
I think that's about it.. I'm quite pleased with how it's turned out especially as I can get through a whole formation in a couple of hours. Think I'll have a full painted army in no time at all

Well been playing/collecting Epic since SM1, so most (like 80%) of my 9 Epic armies (including 30 Ork Warbands) are based on the square bases.
And those are harder to paint than the long E-40K bases...
I learned the hard way...  Doh!

Everyone interested is invited to join a new E-A E-group.
"California_E-A_Gamers" - USA (English)
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/CA-EA-Gamers/
26 July 04. Maksim: This group was established to help GW Epic-Armageddon players in California arrange games and to chat about local issues. Visiting E-A players from Britain, France or elsewhere in the world are also welcome to use the E-group for arranging games when visiting California, USA. For general E-A conversation, I recommend the Epicomms forums at Epic40k.co.uk
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
