Kustom loota Flashgitz

A long time ago I had an idea to make my own Flashgitz because I simply don't like the pirate aesthetic of the GW kit.  I had no idea what to use for weapons until I decided to use up all the extra heavy bolters I had from all the devastator kits I bought. So I bought a box of Nobz and gave it a shot.

After much trial I finished the first one and loved how it turned out.

But moving on to the 2nd one I realized I could use other weapons as well.  Multi-melta, plasma cannon, etc.  This makes each one much more unique. 

I'm pretty darn happy with how they turned out.  They will be painted up in a simple non-klan specific scheme similar to a majority of my army.

The heads are Steampunk orc heads from Spellcrow.

 Finally getting time for hobby again, and man do I miss it.

Starting with getting the Kromlech terrain done that I've had sitting on the shelf for what..a year? More?  Not sure but it needs to be done.

This was a lot of fun and quite easy to paint.  The Mek Workshop will be a lot harder. Anyway enjoy and back to the brush!

Updating Kult of Speed list

After a couple games with the Kult of Speed I decided I need a bit more firepower.  Also, I want to play with my UFO's.  :)

The two Megatrakk Scrapjets costs 220 points, so I needed to squeeze down a bit.

First thing I did was drop 1 of my units of boys down to 10 models for mob up and jumping first turn.  That saved a bit of points, but no where near enough. Reluctantly I dropped the rokkits in the shoota boyz units to free up the rest of the space.  Oh, and had to drop 1 bike.  :(

So here is the revised list:

Battalion Detachment
Kulture: Evil Sunz
Kult of Speed Specialist Detachment (-1 CP)

HQ: DeffKilla Wartrike, Skargrim's Snazztrike, warlord: Quick, Ladz!
HQ: Big Mek on bike, KFF, (Index)

Troops: 30 shootas, Nob w/PK
Troops: 30 shootas,  Nob w/PK
Troops: 10 shootas, Nob w/PK

Elite: Painboy on Bike

Fast: 12 Warbikes, Nob w/PK
Fast: 11 Warbikes, Nob w/PK

Heavy: 3 smasha gunz

Battalion Detachment
Kulture: Evil Sunz

HQ: Wierdboy
HQ: Zhadsnark

Troops: 10 grots
Troops: 10 grots
Troops: 10 grots

Fast: 2 Megatrakk Scrapjets

1998pts, 104PL

I plan on putting the scrapjets in Teleyporta since they are the only vehicles it does not make sense to leave them vulnerable to shooting.

We'll see how it goes!

Bringing Kult of Speed to the table.

Viligus Defiant brought us specialist detachments including 4 for the Orks.  

The most exiting of these is the Kult of speed, which allows you to make Speed Freeks fearless if they advanced, and move twice their movement value.

The basic idea is to take a unit of Evil Sunz warbikes, move them 32" the firs turn, shoot without penalty, and then charge thanks to a Deffkilla Wartrike (which also picks up a 5++ relic).

The Bad Moon Rises...

It's finally in hand, the Gloomspire Gitz book!  I am so far out of step with AoS it's almost like starting with a new game.

I am reading through the warscrolls and there are so many buffs, spells, interactions, etc I can't possibly understand it all.  It will take a lot of careful study.

And finally I dug out the Orcs & Goblins i have and pulled out the models that are in the tome.

So I have:

Leaders:
Fungoid Cave Shaman
Webspinner Shaman

Battleline:
50 (42) stabbas
35 shootas
20 Spider Riders (if webspinner is General)

Behemoth
2 Mangler Squigs Penguins
Arachnarock Spider w/warparty

No role
3 Loonsmasha Fanatics (5 is minimum)
1 Rockgut Troggoth (3 is minimum)

But that still comes to 2020 points! Dropping down to 40 stabbas puts me at 1920.  Room for another unit easily.

Plus of course will need a loonshrine, as it's zero points!

I think I just need to to put this stuff on the field and roll some dice, see what happens.

Showcase: Evil Sunz Looted Viper Deffkilla Wartrike

It took some time but finally finished this project.

I had to order the base off eBay because GW does not make the 150mm oval separately.  It's MDF so it ads a lot to the weight. 

Very happy with how it came out.  I did as much as I could to copy the original model including the 3 twin boomsticks, the snagga claw with chain and spools and the rockets as the Jets.

The warboss is based on a Reaper Bones Mountain Troll model and is magnetized so I can put him on a regular base and run it on foot - to use the Redder Armor someday.

I got 3 150mm bases so the other 2 are going to go under the UFO's which will count as Megatrakk scrapjets.
