HI CS.

You must have a LOT of Ork buggies to do that!! I have 1 pack of the new biggies and shortly should receive another 8 of the old metal buggies. If I do them 2 to a warhamster base that is halving the size of KoS that I can field.

With Skorchas I will be lucky to field 2 minimum sized KoS instead of the 2 large KoS that I want, at the very least.

Cheers

James

True, you do need twice as many buggies to do it this way. But, I paint so slowly, and the minis are currently available, so it not such a problem. Alternatively, you could cut the Warmaster bases in half and use those.

I managed to pick up 3 of the SM/TL Skorcha blisters for ?1 each, giving me a medium-sized KoS straight off the bat :)

Hence the basing question ;)

Well I have just discovered my new all time favourite figure. Don't laugh but it is the plastic Ork Battlewagon multi-part set that came with (I think) Epic 40,000.

You may snigger but that is the first time I have had any of these little beauties and they are great. Separate guns, separate close combat blades/rollers at the front.

I spent last night ripping turrets of my old metal gutrippas/bowelburnas/battlewagons and affixed them to the plastic battlewagons and then stuck plastic turrets onto my metal tanks. Volia - instant variety - no tank looks the same.

I maybe easliy pleased but so far I am really enjoying assembling my small Waaagh. The key question is will I be able to follow it through and get out the painting brushes this weekend....
:cool:
Cheers

James

Yes, I just finished the last of my E40K B/Wagons, mixing and matching turrets from other Ork models, as well.  They are nice !  Just got Swordwind, hope they make those Jukkatruks and all the other Feral Ork stuff, too !   :D

Yes- I might have to get some Junkatrukks and put some red paint on them for use in Speedfreeks. The converted buggies, whilst Freshmetal's ones look really cool, are just too small IMO.

The other alternative is that I might use dragsters to represent Junkatrukks for Speedfreeks. Otherwise I don't know how to use dragsters in EpicA Ork force.

Cheers

Hi  Noone has mentioned Gargants yet. So given 1 has arrived in the mail I have to decide how to arm it.

How do you arm your Gargants?

Super Zzap gun, Mega Choppa or a 3rd Soopagun?

How would this change if you were fielding them as OGBM instead of using main Ork army list?

Cheers

James

Is this the new, current Gargant you're speaking of? 'Cause I need images of the new Gargant variants for my Ork hardware book.

I took snapshots of the Great Gargant bits section back in 2004 when they were visible in the US online store, but forgot to take shots of the Gargant, and now they're gone  :(

All my Gargants, like my Titans, have ranged weapons ... close combat weapons are toys for amateurs !  :laugh:  (L4SoTR) :;):

Yes Magnus.

I bought one Mint-in-box- it had 2 Soopaguns, 1 Soopa Zzap gun and 1 Mega Choppa.  I bought another off ebay- it just had 1 Soopagun and the Mega Choppa.

Does this help?

Cheers

James

So that would rule out Mega Choppa- even though it does have some ranged attacks.

So which would be better- 2 Soopa guns + 1 Soopa Zzap gun, or 3 Soopa guns?

Looking at the BP table I would suspect the former as the latter only adds 1 extra BM compared to 2 Soopa guns alone.

Cheers

James

Either combination is good, IMO, but use the M/Choppa in trade ! :;):  It looks like the F/Ork S/Gargant (it looks about the size of a M/B Gargant or M/B Supa-Stompa ?!) has a C/Cbt arm ... goes to trade. Hope they include extra weapons like in the Stompa pack !  :D

Hi!

I have a specially built close combat reaver that would make anyone rethink if close combat weapons are worth it or not. Its over a decade old and VERY successful.

3d6 +18 in close combat and FAST.... :;):

Hi Primarch

The advantage the Reaver has is that it has a higher base speed. With the Gargant only having speed of 15 I do worry whether will be able to get into close combat.

Will need to check the OGBM list to see if any mekboy upgrades give a speed increases.

However for Ghazgull's War Horde army list I am tempted to with L4's advice and go for a ranged weapon.

Thanks for feedback guys.

Cheers

James
