Da Gitzkrieg

[AtmanAbecedarian]

When did they change Jerrys? I used to be an avid drinker when I first got into rum. Haven't been drinking as much the last year or two. It was the only rum I could take straight (only if necessary of course).
Glad the tourney went well. Those late games always mess things up. Looking forward to some pics.

Update time;


Eh... no photo's yet, they are still coming into my gaming clubs facebook group so it'll be a short while before i can offer some of them. However, i've worked out the third part of the project, its fairly simple, so it's easy to remember.

bikes. Lots and lotz o' Bikez!

Here is wat i gotz in me 'ead.

HQ;

Wazdakka Gutzmek; 180pts
Warboss Zhadsnark Da Rippa; 150ps

elite;
3 Biker Nobz, warbiker painboy, 4 cybork bodies, 3 power clawz 285pts

Troops;

3 warbikes, nob, powerclaw 110pts
3 warbikes, nob, powerclaw 110pts
3 warbikes, nob, powerclaw 110pts
3 warbikes, nob, powerclaw 110pts
3 warbikes, nob, powerclaw 110pts
3 warbikes, nob, powerclaw 110pts

Fast Attack;

3 warbikes, nob, big choppa 90pts
3 warbikes, nob, powerclaw 110pts

Total points; 1495.
Total models; 30.
Total powerclaw attacks on the charge; 50.

What do we think? true speed freek army, with 3 'death star' units, and a crap tonne of fast attacking heavy hitters.

hahaha, that's mental. I'd swap the Nobbikers 3rd power klaw with the big choppa from the FA biker squad just to give the Nobz at least 4 I4 attacks but that is a krazy list.

I get the feeling that leadership may be its down fall. 1 casualty from a unit and there's a 50-50 that they're fleeing.

I'd love to hear how you get on with a game

[G.Hawke]

Well i'm considering dropping a few squads for a battlewagon with a deff rolla and Zagstrukk with 9 stormboyz. it'll give me a little more fire magnet and infantry variability....

Its phototime! First set is from the final, during the through the fire and in flames scenario... damned rough map. First up, mine and alexheaps blood angels,



Deployment!


yeah, we were fighting daemons so we reduced his deep striking zone into his zone, which as you can image would cause them HUGE issues. the daemons player was properly cacking himself, because the tau would get shot to feth and he couldn't drop into combat without deep striking to death (the lava counted as death to any and all who though of using it.)



midway point, i tried to block the daemons why using my trukks as a giant blockade.

no pictures of the end of the board, but we lost due to the changing of the game, we couldn't get our troops to the objective (bridge) in time because we lost 2 turns thanks to the time limit on the gaming hall itself. However, we prided our selves on our tactics, because the other team admitted in 5-6 turn game we would have absolutly smashed them.

total; 2 tabled. 2 wins. 1 loss.

busy day on my threads today... stil. Spray gun has arrived so....

Stage 1; Basics of the Killbursta.





-hawke

[Hadriel Caine]

Wow Hawke! That Killbusta is epic. Love the skull. The board you used in the previous post is wicked too. I need to get some terrain together again.

[Magicman1]

How the hell did you make such an epic piece, where did you get all the bits and bobs and stuff all the intricate details like the gas tanks and stuff? Im very impressed

[Essia]

oh My, I love the army.

[G.Hawke]

Thanks for the comments guys! glad you like it!

@magic; sadly i can't claim credit for it, its forgeworlds work.

Ok time for the first two stompa's design lists;

Kustom stompa' 1;

Gaze of gork, 2x titan close combat weapon, 2 shoulder zzap gunz, Belly gigashoota, red paint job, Supercharge, repair krew, power field.
Total cost; 740 points.

Kustom stompa 2;

Gaze of Gork, 2x Gigastoota, 2x shoulder kannon, bellygun, repair krew, power field
855pts

Gargant... Coming soon.

Any thoughts? i like the shooty shooty death and the close combat death varients... i think they could work well, especially if i drop ghazgull + 4 meganobz from the CC stompa.

-hawke

[andyg2006]

Are you using the Kustom rules from the WD?
IMHO, belly gun + deff arsenal would be a good shooty choice.

Imperial Armour 8, but that's not a bad suggestion, i remember the death rolla stompa... might have to have one.

-hawke

[G.Hawke]

Update time; 3 tanks + fighter prepped for the update paintin techniques. hard to see, but alot of rust techniques in there as well as the usual evil sunz glyf.



C&C?

-hawke

[razormasticator]

Love the Glyph!!!!!

[G.Hawke]

@razor; ty dude!

In order to justify this post... here's some pictures of my 3/30 bikers (wip), my classic ork squad, some kommandos and nazdreg (stripped heavy weapon inc)








Now thats justified, after careful planning i've abandoned the gargant because... well, i've fallen in love with deff arsenals... and in order to justify another stompa (ok... 2)... well you can work it out.

So, here's the stompas...

Speed freek Rok'n'Rolla (white dwarf goff rok'n'rolla with the following add ons)
Red paint Job.
545pts

Kustom stompa 1;
Gaze of Gork, Gigastoota,Deth Kannon with co-axial gigashoota, 2x shoulder kannon, bellygun, repair krew, power field, deff arsenal
1050pts

Kustom stompa' 2;

Gaze of gork, 2x titan close combat weapon, 2 shoulder zzap gunz, Belly gigashoota, red paint job, Supercharge, repair krew, power field, red paint job.
Total cost; 765 points.

Kustom stompa 3;
Gaze of Gork, 2x Gigastoota, 2x shoulder kannon, bellygun, repair krew, power field, deff arsenal
975pts

I think we can all agree.... that is one SERIOUSLY monster set of titans... 3335 points in those alone, but more than enough firepower for my portion of the forces.

Of course, i've still got 8 killakans, 9 big trakks, a skullhamma, a fighta, warbikes galore and a Killblasta tank to add to it. I'll be honest, the size of my waaagh is causing even me to get worried. Nah i lied. I LOVE IT.

-hawke

[razormasticator]

That does indeed sound like a Sick Waagh... I am jealous for sure. I have 1 Stompa, 2 Deff Dreads, 9 Kans, 1 Mega Dread etc. I need some kil krusha's, some Kil Blastas and a Custom Skull Hamma and all will be right in the world.

[Hadriel Caine]

Ooh classic orkses. I enjoy the speed with which your logs always grow. Lots of fun to watch.

[G.Hawke]

thanks for the comments guys! not update yet, still painting the third biker... but the good news is the taxman sent me a letter today so i'm getting £70 back... no much but...

My next purchase for the second part of the gitzkrieg, the Bikekrieg.

so i've got a blastkrieg, a bikekrieg and soon a stompkrieg. This indeed shall be a large gitzkrieg. Once they are done... i may be doing a grotzkrieg.

-hawke

[G.Hawke]

Ok i promised this a while back... so here it is.

Weathering Tutorial 1; Salt weathering.

Firstly, get your model painted to the quality of rust you like, mine seems a little washed out in this light but you'll see i go for a brown/orange rust, a mix of fresh and old rust.



Next up... salt the areas you want to look rusted.



Now paint your model your selected scheme.... in this case, badmoon yellow!



Next up, wash them in warm water and use either a stiff paint brush or old toothbrush to make sure you get shift of all that salt. once you do, it should look like this;




This technique can only be used by using an airbrush, or a spray can (i've done it in the past with red spray for my word bearers)

Any questions or feedback? If not, expect nazdreg to appear in the next few days as a finished model.

-hawke

[G.Hawke]

ok after the last update i decided that i'm going to reboot my 750 combat force as badmoons.... classic badmoons.



C&C? quite happy with that yellow still.... and the second kan having much more subtle rusting.

-skrall

[razormasticator]

Looks good from what I Can tell. I would like some close ups of the Kan to see the rusted effect. Next to Deff Skulls, Bad MoonZ is my favorite.
