Notta whole lot of progress on the hobby front this week aside from priming a bucket load of minis which is anything but exciting. I had intended on posting a Kill Team battle report, however whilst Da Long Ways Dezert Groop is capable of slogging for 20 minutes thru a torrential downpour, my opposing forces who live 10 minutes from the FLGS, and more importantly were merely suffering from lightly raining conditions and didn't want to come out due to the inclement weather.
Apparently, in the Grim Darkness of the Future, war is only fought (inside) on a sunny day.

| Deth to oomes! |
So instead all I have on offer is my meager painting progress of finishing off the half-painted (for ages now) 'MO DAKKA!' Mo earned his name way back when, in the one Shadow War game that I played where he proved to be far more effective than any one Shoota boy ought to be. He's one of the Maxmini Green Alliance Kickstarter minis and is now serving unda da kommand of SCHULTZ! as one of my two Blood Axe Kommando big shoota boys.

| Only 3 more Kommandos to paint. ETA of squad completion: a year or three... |
However unlike his lone performance in Shadow War, we all know that Ork Kommandos haven't been worth a damn since 2nd ed 40k, so odds are he'll just die horribly in the typical Kommando fashion.
I still think the Kommandos have been punished for decades now for how outstanding the original Blood Axe Kommandos performed in 2nd ed. I used to equip the Kommando Kaptin with a Vortex grenade and have him and his boyz infiltrate close to something the enemy valued and chuck a bit of warp at 'em. Once took out an Eldar Dreadnought with that tactic. Yeah it was dirty, but hell'a orky!!!
ReplyDeletelol, my most fond memory of the ol' vortex grenade was a guy we used to play with who killed his own White Scars scout squad (his sgt. always had one) with that thing in 3 or 4 consecutive games! We finally threw his card out so he'd stop committing suicide with it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Several of my Bad Moons warbosses have also borne the name Mo' Dakka - Great minds. :)
ReplyDeleteI dig how he turned out, man!
Thanks! Don't recall seeing any Orks on your blog lately...thinking you might need to revisit that! :-)
