BIG ORK Questions

Post by TirNaNog » Sat Sep 14, 2024 11:48 am

I Had a great idea , why spend money on stompas squiggoths and other GW cash cows when i can build them myself from things I find

Heres the Plan if any of you are familiar with ZOIDS they are basicly perfect for ork vehicles and they can move themselves under theyre mighty battery power .

heres the thing would anyone have any problems with me trying to field one of the things if i made it naturally id make it more orky and said "this Grachiosaurus is a squiggoth"

theres also a really cool godzilla sorta thing perfect for a stompa .

Ork Thoughts? ... THORKS?

We're always happy to play against Gundams serving as Tau so I don't see anything wrong with using anything cool in service to the Waaagh!

The general rule is to just make it roughly the right size and try to make a correct size base for it if relevant. But really I think the big Ork stuff (and with few exceptions the big anything) are more entertaining than good so just go for it.

If you have to ask permission to 'loot' a model for your orks, are you sure you're orky enough? :lol:

Any proper ork army is only about 50% official GW Ork models at best.

Oi likes 'ow dis 'ere lad iz finkin'! Go for it. Orks are the most forgiving army for kit-bashers. Zoids, 100¥ shop toys, bargain bin Tamiya tanks, just go for it.
