My Deathskulls are pink. My boss is colour blind after a bomb hit him in the blue bits. He was covered in pink (his blood mixed with white ash) which looks blue to him now. He doesn’t know he’s colour blind and kills any boy who dares inform him of his condition.
Evil Sunz is tragic, because it's very flavorful, and so very close to being good. There is a hypothetical version of the subfaction that actually works, and it wouldn't take much to get there.
They're also my favorite color. I don't always wanna play vehicle spam, but Evil Sunz are one of those subfactions where I feel stupid not taking "the right units" but they don't even make their best units better.
Evil suns rules genuinely feel like somebody forgot about them. Fun army, colours and lore but just had rules update around them without them catching up.
So while I don't collect orks - one of my friend group already does and I'm a chaos player - I was tempted into making a Kaptain with the Squigosaur Beastboss came out. So I got it, got a Pirate Ork head from the Flash Gitz seperately, and mixed the kits with a heavy bunch of skulls, setting him up as a Big Game Hunter type Kaptain, who takes prides in the big things he kills, and who has a cybernetic arm because, well, Pirate
My Bad Moonz are actually a kustom faction, for which I have no suitable name yet. Kolor scheme is Yellow and Purple, and they're all obsessed with Dakka. Gorkanaut, Megatrakk Scrapjet, Kustom Boosta Blasta, etc... The fact I get to shoot and shoot and shoot is just the biggest fun for me. Yes, everyone will die, but hey, that just means it didn't count
As someone who has a Plane heavy Blood Axe clan collection I enjoyed your Orky Vietnam joke. Also yes they are painted in a hodgepodge of camo patterns.
I know that it's late, but I just found your guys' channel and subscribed. Love your content! I've been playing orks for years and even though Evil Sunz isn't my favorite of the clans, they have won me a few tournaments simply for their relic and strategem. The relic is amazing on a beast boss on squigasaur as it makes him move 13" and advance much faster for an easy charge, and he has an engagement aura of "if you charge him, you're fighting last with everything around him" which is nuts on a beatstick character. Means you can charge the enemy scary unit and then never worry about it interrupting before you attack with everyone else and it also makes the beastboss basically unchargeable as he'll just kill whatever charges into him first. Alongside that, the strat is where the real money is at: you take 6 koptas with rokkits and they basically move 16" up over obscuring terrain, shoot 12d3 rokkits, and then move again back behing cover where they can't be shot. I've went entire 5 round games without them ever getting shot at and then the last round I ramming speed them into a unit to help clean up where I need to in CC. Evil sunz are pretty good when you play like Mork and less like Gork.
Ork army idea: WAAAGH "Let's All 'Ave A Zoggin Good Toim" - all these orks are on a package WAAAGHiday run by the Bad Moon warboss. The squads have coloured armbands so they can refind their group, and the warboss and nobs wear high viz vests.
The Snakebitez relic has a 6" range. And after it deals damage to it's target, it deals a mortal wound to every unit within 6". It deals 1 mortal wound to its own user.
One amazing thing about ork weapons relating to Evil Sunz: Mega Kustom blasta and similar weapons ARE assaults. However, as Deffskullster, I prefer the rerolls for those. Hell, Evil Sunz just rocking 8th edition kultur which is kind of bummer.
Worth mentioning the Gobshite Thunderbuss is a heavy weapon, so it gets the badmoons extra range. Still dont think you want a Big Mek within 18", but still
You could get a unit of halflings and paint them green and play them as some kind of boyz, as the halfling's village was invaded by orks so they had to adapt and infiltrate them.
God damnit. Now I want to play orks. Blood Axes and Death Skullz just sound so... ME! Especially since I grew a reputation for... Tinkering with every kit I get my hands on. xD
FML do you two know how many EFFING orky boyz I have to print now to field 3 ENTIRELY DIFFERENT ork armies???? Battlescribe is about to overheat my phone...
My own Clan of Orks are my faves, along with my own Chapter of Space Marines. I'm not much into the established clans/chapters. It's more fun to come up with your own stuff.
So, can you build an army with two different clans? Like could I go half Goffs and half Blood Axes? I just started, and I'm wanting to paint my combat patrol ork box two different ways so that I can split it in half and play with friends.
My orks look like a bag of m&ms and skittles mixed together. Most of them are 2nd hand ebay models that already were painted and they look great as a mob on the table
If you're playing with friends, ask them if they're okay with it. My spouse is playing a "convert" space marines army, with units from loyal, chaos, and primaris.
This has always made a lot of sense to me. Instead if constraining my field of view to a single clan I plan to collect and paint all sorts of different klans and klan colors. The same as how I plan to make a grand alliance of destruction army for age of sigmar and just collect all those armies in particular. GREAT VIDEO LADZ! KEEP MAKIN' ORK VIDEOS! WE'Z DA BEST! DONK FINK SO?! I DON' CARE! ZOG ROIGHT OFF! WAAAAAGH!
I’m still trying to figure out what clan I’m going to go with. My orks are mainly black with a lot of hazard stripes and other yellow bits along with some red. I’m probably going to eventually decide on bad moons since my warboss is a mekboss who at this point is more machine than ork and I have a lot of deff dreads and kans
Eye completely agree with the paint as you want idea. I have a small faction of Boyz In my army that I decided to paint after the understanding. That originally orks were going to be red
Something I do not see talked about is the fact that the Gobshot thunderbuss is heavy. In bad moons. Meaning its range is actually 18". 18" double scorcha. Unfortunately not many models can take it and you usually only get 1-2 shots per game, if even that. But 18" is decent. And RAW, Brogg's Buzzbomb has friendly fire, since it says "each unit within 6" of the target suffers 1 mortal wound". It does not specify enemies.
Evil Sunz were so much better in 8th edition when dakka weapons were still Assault and you got +1 to charge rolls, too. Moving +1, Advancing +1, shooting without penalty, and then charging +1 with reroll either or both dice just gave them so much threat range on the board. The combination of the weakened rules and shrunken board (which makes the extra move less relevant) in 9th just screwed the subfaction.
They should have gotten an extra attack in melee that causes d3 MW on a 4+ and/or have some crazy good consolidation, fire and fade, tank shock kind of mechanic...oh well, maybe now in 10th Evil Sunz will be best at speed freeks
Evil sunss had +1 to charge rolls in 8ed and was only clan used. And with 9ed version maked many orks assoult guns to the bad dakka type instead make they lost alot, big mek is one character that can have assoult guns, and if fix a truck with some models be truck Boys you can have big mek hit on 3+ when advanced. Killrig with reszmekkas reder paint and squig-hide tires gets moment 16 Base. And if advance get d6+3. Sow if do whaaag it can mow and charge with 20-26 moment.
Huh. So, the Evil Suns rules are actually really close to the Saim-Hann craftworld special rules, included removing the penalty to assault weapons. The big difference there being that the default shuriken weapons of the basic troops & windrunners (and indeed, most of the vehicles) are all assault weapons, so they can actually take advantage of it.
Great video lads! I actually started Orks 3 weeks ago. Having loads of fun with the Combat Patrol atm. I decided to paint them in a mix. Some are blue, some are red, some are yellow. Properly chaotic and orky and I don’t have to decide on a single sceme^^
My idea for the optimal color scheme: - Yellow ranged weapons - black melee weapons - blue body-armor - leather west - "camouflage"-headgear - purple facepaint - red boots
My Clan is all painted in pride colors, each unit of boys, nobz etc. All a different flag. Storm boyz are ace woth garlic bread painted on the rockets.
