Mob Up!: Bad Moon Slugga Boyz

From Stuff I Have Painted: Orks

Hello. I am Mars, new guy here at still practicing_. Not entirely new on the internets. I had a small blog called Mars' Project Blog. But real life catches up, and I couldn't post frequently enough to justify my own blog, so I was assimilated here.

I would like introduce my army project for the year. Year is pretty optimistic actually, but we will go with that for now. The optimism is based off the fact that I paint very slowly. Glacially slow. So it stands to reason that I should try and crack out a horde army in a year right?

Space Wolves: Second Look at Speeders

When your codex contains arguably some of the best troop and heavy support choices in the game, its easy to overlook things in the rest of the book. My Space Wolf list had been very meat, Grey Hunters, and potatoes, Long Fangs, in the past – to the exclusion of everything else. I wasn’t using anything except those two choices, the only difference in my lists would be whether or not I substituted in three drop pods to get the assault forces in there even faster. Then, as if by fate, I found three old speeders in a box I was sorting through the other day.

5 Minute History: Ork Boyz

Orks first appeared in the Rogue Trader rulebook and the Space Orks boxed set, containing eighteen metal models. These Orks were squat, powerfully muscled humanoids, wielding crude ballistic weaponry (usually black powder or other explosive projectile-based equivalent) and large 'stikbomz' or stick grenades; along with their helmets and other paraphernalia, these are apparently modeled on German equipment from World War I.
