Blood of Kittens Community Hub

Blood of Kittens has decided that the Ork hatred currently populating much of the 40k interwebs must be challenged. So it is our great pleasure to introduce a new segment called the Ork Defense Force: its job is […]

I mentioned in my last post about how AV14 is a complete Red Herring in regards to how Orks play, so I thought I’d talk about that this time.

First off, its fairly obvious that Orks have an issue dealing with […]

I figured I’d do a bit more comprehensive review of the whole Ork Codex and maybe bat some ideas about how to use some of these units about and share success and fail stories.

Where do you start when you’re […]

Continuing on in my review of the Ork codex in an attempt to rile imaginations and inspire lists, I am on to the Elites section of the dex.

While I’m of the opinion that the majority of the units in the dex […]

Another March, another 40k TSHFT. I must admit to being super stoked that this year TSHFT got up to 50 registered attendees, though we had only 48 show up. Considering I know of at least 4 people who had to drop […]

As is customary in the 40k blogosphere people message me with certain little tidbits that are sure to rile me up in the hopes of feeding their sick need to start flame wars. This time they have failed! I have […]

So, now we’ve come to the troops section of the Ork codex.  Sadly, it only has two options (outside HQ choices) unlike the other sections of the dex that are chock full of choices.  But I’m not sweating it; as […]

The Fast Attack part of the Ork codex is one of the places I see it being weaker than some other ‘dexes.  There are two options here that I think are tremendous, and two that I think are sub-par, or at least […]

Ahhh, the Heavy Support slots!  Almost always my favorite part of any codex.  When I think of 40k, the idea of big tanks and hard-hitting units are what I think of, and this is where we find them. There’s a lot of […]

A lot of people like to sit and talk about 40k or Fantasy as if its real warfare; quoting Sun Tzu or Clausewitz or something and trying to sound uber smart.  Honestly, trying to use real life tactics in a game […]

It occurs to me as I put fingertip to keyboard that my ideas for how to use Orks is very much situational.  Given a battlefield snapshot, I could reasonably deduce what needs to be done at that moment and get ‘er […]

Following up my last post; I hadn’t thought people would be too keen on Orks vs Infantry tactics; but it looks like I was wrong!

Infantry-heavy lists are; more or less; a thing that most Internet talking heads […]

Well, continuing on the journey of trying to come up with some basic ground rules and ideas for how to use a balanced Ork force against a variety of army types.  I’ve now come to the last archetype:  Assaulty […]

So, as pointed out earlier; I failed to go over a major factor in how to play a balanced Ork army against the main army archetypes; namely deployments.

This was a glaring error on my part because it is crucial […]

Sorry about the long delay on finishing up this bit of tactica.  Been in the midst of painting my Orks up to a really good standard (instead of 3 color minimum!) and, wouldn’t know, painting 150ish models with an […]

OFCC!

The Ordo Fanaticus Club Challenge was started  a good while back by a couple of Pacific NW gaming  clubs who consistently met at GTs and decided they  wanted to avoid playing other people and just play  […]

TSHFT!

So, once again, it was time for The Seattle Heart of Fire Tournament. Last two 40k events I’ve won Best General for Group A (TSHFT has a ladder ranking and is divided in groups for various prizes at […]

Its been quite a while since I put finger to keyboard to write up an article.  I’m not arrogant enough to think that people have been waiting for an update or anything; but I feel obligated to put something […]

Alright, I’ve been thinking about writing this up for a while, and I finally got down to it after reading Abuse Puppy’s article on Orks.

I’ve been hearing about “no retreat sux 4 teh orks” since I dipped my toe […]

“The problem is that nothing in your response is a good reason for us to listen to you.  Killkannons are overpriced jokes. Stormboyz are double the cost of a normal boy for jump packs.  If you want to convince us […]
