Upgradin' Da Boyz!!!

o/

Its been a few weeks, so its time for Da Boyz to grab the spotlight for a short bit on the blog that bears their name. No, they haven't fought since their last glorious victory over da weedy grey oomies, but they have acquired some new toys.

Da' noo Tank Bustas!

Weez takin' dis wagon!

Basking in the after glow of victory and reading the latest change on the tank bustas in the GW FAQ (What? I don't have to try and shoot that rhino that's 48" away anymore?), I thought I'd get me some tank bustas. Now, to be honest I really don't like the minis for them. However I already had two rokkit boyz who were more or less useless in a mob on their own. So i ordered the bitz to make a few more, and added an old freebooter/cybork nob with his power klaw for good measure.  No bombs squigs as of yet though.

Also this weekend, I finally ran into Madival, and passed on his vampire that I had gotten him for Christmas, as well as a pair of old Strighori Vampires that he was wanting. In return he gifted me with his old Ork battlewagon!

We kicked da tires and luckily none fell off!

True, it lacks the aesthetic of Da' Matilda (my old Ork BW that predates this model and his built on a WWII Matilda which can be seen in the top photo here). Neverness was quick to point out that it needed a Deff Rolla, and to that I say: 'Careful buddy, or I just might get one...'

I've railed against the '4 battlewagons with deff rollas and 2 big Meks with KFFs' net list for some time, and Neverness just happens to have those four battlewagons with deff rollas...in boxes...still in plastic...and probably never to be seen on the table top...ever.

...snicker...

Speaking of Neverness, why don't you go right now and check out his battle report of his Mon'keigh's latest encounter with my 'fluff bunny' Exodite/Saim-Hann army. My new Harlequins perfomed a little sub-par, but everything else did well enough that the veneer of just being a 'fluff bunny army' is starting to wear a little thin...

I haven't read his account of this engagement yet myself but will do so in a few moments, right after I post this.
