Well, I just based my 4 Mekboy vehicles, and my 2 Gunwagons (along with Ordinatus Mars), so they're vaguely ready.

Admittedly, I think I'm only using the Doomdiver Magna Kannon in the list over the page, but y'know, it helps me be ready.

I think I'm gonna need some more Warmaster bases :D :O

? don't get it - sorry, dumb mode still on here... :( I use mine as a Flakwagon.

Heard that, Warmaster? Watch out for Dysartes, he's after your bases!
(along with Ordinatus Mars)

It's the casual way he says these things that gets me - just painting a 150GBP army, and, while I'm at it, based an Ordinatus to keep things going..... groan! Why does he even need a 3-week break!
Cheers Dysartes - have fun!  :;):  :D

Well, vanvlak, yknow, I got to keep you on your toes :)

Anyway, I was using the classifications in the back of the E:A rulebook, which (slightly randomly) has the Magna-Kannon down as a Soopa-Gun - so it'll be attached to the larger of the two Kults of Speed.

Just picked up a new Detail and Fine Detail, and will be undercoating the Ork stuff I based when I get home - the Ordinatus still needs some work.

If I can find the front barrel of the Leviathan on my desk, I'll get it ready too.....

Good luck Dysartes

I somehow suspect that you'll get a finished Epic Ork force on the table before me. Although I did undercoat a Big Infantry Warband last night, ready for hopefully doing 1st coat of paint over weekend.

I think the Warhampster bases are great for vehicles. What did you decide to do in the end for buggies/bikes/scorchas?

Cheers

James

Ah, I see. I see the soopa gun view, but personally prefer to keep it as flak, but to each his own.

Understatement of the year; Dysartes, you get the 'Lets-paint-a-warmachine-whilst-the-paint-dries-on-these-5000-points-of-orks...' award, I guess. ?:p

Skorchas are going to be based singly (I think) on a Warmaster base, though I need to take a look at this before I decide for definate. I'm tempted to cut Warmaster bases in half (giving two roughly square bases) for War Buggies and War traks, and then base Bikes with 3 to a WM base.

With regards to getting a force painted quickly, a lot of what I've got is in a state where I can just continue working on it to get it finished, which'll help. This has the possible exception of some of the sqare-based infantry, but I'm sure I can sort something.

How do people think the plastic Stompas should be based, out of interest? 1 WM base, or two?

Mental note - take pics of the ToSG Hunters and Swords.....

I replaced the Magna -cannon with the SM2 Hydra Quad Guns. It's in a Mob with 2 Weirdboy Tower hulls with extra E40K FLAK Guns. :;): Ork "Ad Hoc" Flakwagons !

Is n't Warhampster base twice as long as old square Epic bases? In which case you have just found a use for your spare old square Epic bases!

Do you reckon you can get away with bikes 2 to a Warhampster base? Call me cheapskate but the new blisters for warbikes work out horrendously expensive if you only get 5 bases of bikes.

Look forward to seeing pics of your KoS soon. I have put off doing my KoS until I see how yours comes out!! :D

Cheers

James

That sounds cool and like all the best ideas might be err appropriated in future.

AS I said in the "What are you working on now" thread, I'll post my acquisitions from Triples here.

Space Marine (1st Ed) - missing rulebook, but with all figs, as well as intact (but assembled) Eldar Legion and Ork War Horde boxes and the E:40k rulebooks
1 Ork Braincrusha
3 Bowelburnas
1 Eldar Fire Gale Knight (number 4, which can be seen here)
2 Imperial Warden Knights
1 Space Fleet Dictator-class Battleship (with the grabby claws)
3 assembled E:40k Battlewagons, 3 on sprues
3 Ork War Horde-era Battlewagons
Random bag including 4 Stompas, bikes, wartraks, etc
Some trenches at the right scale for 40k (about a foot or so for ?8)
Some Dragon's Teeth tank traps (same scale)
Slightly less flourescent green static grass

Not a bad day, all things considered.....
