Let's go Waaaaggh!
And so it begins ...
In the beginning there was nothing … until Rogue Trader aka 40k 1st edition was released.
Never got to building an army back then, but I did collect one of the big books on Ork Kultur that got released ( https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Waaargh:_Orks ). I didn’t notice it back then, but them boys were calling.
8th edition got released and I thought I could get into this 40k and start an army for real this time. However I couldn’t really decide which faction to choose, but was tempted by Space marines and Eldar.
Then this happened :
And I could only think of one thing : I’m going Green.
As a result I’ve collected a few Orky things :
- Ork Killteam aka Lootas
- Ork killteam leader (current status : build, unpainted)
- Ork Elite killteam aka Flash Gitz
- the new buggies (Speed Freaks)
The 40k Hobby weekend was announced and the option to buy a digital ticket was hard to ignore, which meant I added the ‘Start Collecting Orks’ box.
All that’s left to do is to start assembling and painting (eventually).
Being true to the Ork spirit I am not letting Gork and Mork guide me.
As a result I haven’t even settled on a single Ork clan.
Just a word of warning …while I will be a bit more active during the hobby weekend (’cause that’s the point of buying a digital ticket ;-)) the speed of updates afterwards may be more like watching paint dry.
