A month or so I signed up for a 40k tournament at GengisCon. I signed up before the tournament rules were posted and started working on my army. The official rules were just posted and now I see the mistake.

Points: 1750

Restrictions:

  • Battalion Detachment ONLY. No other detachment may be selected, and armies must be battle forged.
  • Matched play rules will be in effect, including adjustments made in Chapter Approved. Beta matched play rules will also be in effect.
  • Models must have 4 colors of paint, minimum.

I was planning on building an Ork Dreadmob. Something like:

  • Big Mek Buzzgob (Forgeworld)
  • Gorkanaut
  • Morkanaut
  • 6 Killa Kans
  • 3 Dreadnoughts
  • 1 Meka Dread (Forgeworld)

Unfortunately with the event rules requiring a battalion that means I’m limited to 3 heavy support options so now I have to rethink the list. Shelve the models I just bought and put together & paint a new army. Here’s what I’m thinking:

My Workload

There are 47 models in the army which doesn’t sound like a ton. But I only have 10 models (grots) that are 100% done. I have some boys & Weird Boy who are close to being done. But the rest need to be assembled and painted. It’s going to be a crazy month. 🙂
