Budget Army Building - And Adventure in Creating a fully custom Warhammer Army Ork army

in Curated Collections20 days ago (edited)

I've always wanted to build a Warhammer army but without a personal diamond mine, that comes with challenges. Follow these posts to join me in the creation of my own personal fully customized Ork force!

Once built this force will be joining a Casual Crusade at my LGS. This crusade is a 5 month long narrative story-line with major 4 cinematic events along the way. There will be about 25 players in the crusade broken up into teams along racial lines to keep things fair and interesting. Along the way your individual units earn upgraded wargear, grotesque battle scars, and grow from a 500pt warband to a true 2000pt army over half a year of weekly games.
.
This is like a beautiful mash-up of wargaming and tabletop role-playing and I am so excited.

Excited to see when you start to add some boyz into the mix. Does Casual Crusade use the usual 40K rules as well as the new Codexes? Or something else?

The tabletop play is essentially standard Warhammer 40k where your units have positive/negative modifiers from wargear / injuries.

You start much smaller than normal 2k games. This crusade will start at 500-1000points.

Each week there is a new scenario for you to play one side or the other of. Over the weeks and months your games effect the storyline. Because your units are gaining modifiers / gear / injuries you dont really want to trade them out between weeks as it resets their progress.

Thank you! That sounds so fun... kind of like a Bloodbowl campaign but for 40K. If a Codex comes out halfway through your crusade, does it apply when it comes out, or do you have to wait until the end? The Orks 10th Edition Codex came out a week or two ago.

Nice minis, dude!
