Children In Need 07 Discussion

[Tim C]

That's great Dasgorlad and I think that your points about the base are good ones, there will defiantely be a unit of Kommmandos so no worries there I am going to pick that up today menace has got the HQ choice so that is that one covered so what we realy need are two troops, and then just fluff it out a bit.

[drevilmonki]

I'm interested in this as well Tim.
When abouts in 07 will the finish date be?

[Tim C]

Cheers Drevilmonki, the usual date for the Children In Need event each year is around October November I think but I will confirm that. I am aiming for the whole project to be finished by October next year and then I can time the auction to finish just before the actual date and then I can present the money to the Charity on the day of the event. That is the plan.
When I auction the models I will be listing everyone that took part by forum username and if it is ok with everyone I will also put their real name alongside the usernames and also their country of origin.

[razhburz]

I've been thinking a bit (again and if we have all time to next autumn I will probably be able to paint atleast four orcs....oh sorry, it Orks in 40K.

I have just started to paint my first WH orc, and I quite like it, so I look forward to try my hands on some 40K ones.

Would it be ok if I painted their faces like this?


thanks,


Razh

Is it too late to help out with this?

I know a little about orks if you need a hand sorting out that Tim!

You can e-mail me at [e-mail] .

Cheers!

[Tim C]

Rahz, you can paint warpaint on the Orks sure, from what I have read in the fluff they quite like to paint themselves and I think a unit of orks like yours would be cool. If you could stretch to 5 that would be a unit on its own and therefore we could count it as one of the troop units required. I know that might be asking a bit but I like what you have done with that orc your are painting for the contest.
Dave no it is not too late if you wish to take part then you are most welcome. I will post an updated list of participants later.

[drevilmonki]

Well thats plenty of time then.


I could paint up this guy.



Otherwise let me know what needs doing.

No problem mate, I'll paint five.

So a list might look like this

Nob
1 Unit of Boyz (5 models)
2 Unit of Boyz (5 models)

That is the basic requirement for legality and then the choices are pretty much endless

Stormboyz Unit
Stikk Bommerz
Bikers
Death Kopters
Burna Boyz
Killa Kanz

I think to include any machinery like Killa Kanz you have to have at least one Mek

Shokk Attack Gun
Mega Armoured Orks
Tank Bustas


For a legal army there needs to be a warboss, big mek or painboss for the HQ, and the minimum squad size for boyz is 10 orks. From a gaming point of view the more boyz the better, and I always take at least 2 squads of 30. If this army is going to be auctioned then I really feel that gamers would want a squad of at least 20 boyz!

I have a few spare sprues so would not mind donating/painting 10 including nob.

[Tim C]

thanks for clearing that up Dave, mmm I would like to go for the army and if you don't mind painting a unit of Boyz then thank you very much I gladly accept, Drevilmonki Gahzgul would be great and would certainly add to the attractiveness of the army again many thanks.
Menace is painting the Ork nob he likes too.
I have the new Ork mech model so I could do that along with the commandos, Rahz is painting five Ork boys so we need another 5 to make that unit a playable one. Ok later I will be going into Leicester to work I am going to pick up the Codex and have a read. I realy want to thank everyone so far for the positive approach to this.
I will put up a list of who's doing what later and then keep it updated as the project progresses.
Also when painting begions we will need to have a separate WIP thread I think.

[drevilmonki]

Ok Tim, just paid for him on a local auction site so I should be able to start him on my christmas break in a couple of weeks.

[Tim C]

Thank you very much mate that is fantastic.

Since its quite some time to next autumn I might be able to paint a whole unit of ten but I am not sure, so I'll start with five and see if I get some time over.

Hello! I just became a member also for the same reason.

[dagorlad]

A standard troops unit of Orky Boyz needs a minimum of 10 models (from 10 to 30) unfortunately. The boxed set of plastics comes with enough bitz to make 16 Boyz - either with Choppas and Sluggas, or with Shootas.

So to do a basic army, we need to double (at least) the number of models in the basic troop choices.

[matty1001]

Heard about this over at CMoN, tell me what to get and paint, and il do it, not fussed what model it is.

[ogrebane]

Can I play too. Would love to paint some orks and I can always just copy the ones youve already painted.

[Tim C]

Cool we have some new additions to the project, updated list coming up in a bit and I got the codex yesterday so I will also do some studying.

[Tim C]

Ok as promised here is an updated list of people taking part.

Tim C = Ork Kommandos x5 including Boss
Racssirt
Mutantpotato
Menace= Ork Nob
Jabberwocky
Razhburz = 5? Ork boyz with sluggas and choppas
Suladan = Ork Kommando with big shoota
Mattofmirkwood
Erunion
charlie 1968
Dagorlad = Ork Kommando with burna plus display plinth
Drevilmonki =Ghazgul Thraka
Orkydave
electrolito 77
matty1001
Ogrebane
hinton
greenstuffguy
the cadian

*EDIT* I was updating the list as you were posting lol.

[razhburz]

Lol not very many who will take part is it?

I think youu forgot the list mate

[Tim C]

Ok I am going to go through the Codex and see what is what, also I was talking to the guy at GW yesterday and next year the Ork Codex is getting a revamp so Orks are going to be popular again. Good choice guys.

[Tim C]

Ok the army size is realy going to be dependant on how many models we can paint in the time we have, but here we go

HQ Warboss[/u] (Compulsory Choice)
This is being done by Drevilmonki

Warboss Bodyguard[/u] (Optional)
The warboss may be acompanied by between 5 and 10 nobz,

Troops[/u] (Compulsory)
Two units of Ork Boyz aremed with either Sluggas or Shootas 10 to 30 models per unit, at aditional points cost up to three models per unit may be equipped with either a big shoota, rokkit launcher or burna and for another additional cost one boy per unit can be upgraded to a nob and be given equipent from the nob armoury.
Alternatively you can have Stikk Bommas which are again between 10 and 30 models per unit .
Burna Boyz
Tank Bustas, this unit is between 5 and 10 models.
Lastly in the troops list are Gretchin, between 10 and 30 models armed with grot blastas.

Elites[/u] (Optional)
Ork Kommandos consisting of between 5 and 10 models, being done by myself, Dagorlad and Suladan to give a total of seven models.

'Ard Boyz between five and twenty models armed with either a shoota or slugga and a choppa, you can mix and match between the shootas and sluggas if you wish.

Skar Boyz, between 5 and twenty models armed with shoota or slugga and choppas

Flash Gitz, between 5 and twenty models armed with shootas

Fast Attack/Heavy Support[/u]

these options I will cover if there are any people out there wanting to do any of these, I think with the core listing above there is more than enough to have a bash at.

I think the priority is to get the compulsory side of things taken care of, I think we should go for the minimum number of models unless we get a big increase in participating members, once the core side is taken care of then we can think about fluffing it out a little.

[razhburz]

I'm going to paint 5 ork boyz, and I wonder if it would be ok if one of them was equipped with a heavy shoota?


Razh

[Tim C]

Sure that is ok, you can have up to three boyz in a unit equipped with either a heavy shoota, rokkit laucnha or burna so a heavy shooter is fine.

[thecadian]

if theres still a place left id happyly paint up a (small)hero or unit

cheers james
