Wargear cards of 2nd Edition 40k (General) - Investigation continues

While the Ork on the Monowheel decides which clan he wants to be a part of I thought it might be fun to go through the general wargear cards available to every race in 2nd edition Wrhammer 40,000.

It has to be said the sheer amount of customisation for your characters is one of the highlights of 2nd edition and the general wargear cards add to that feel greatly, providing oodles of strategy and combinations. Unless you are an invasive alien species from outside the galaxy but we'll get to the Tyranids another day.

There will be some additional input from ever hopeful Warboss Slegg Bloodnug because Orks know what's best :)

Slegg: Alright dere, I got de kno'ows bout dese contraptions. Jus let ol' Slegg guid ya and everything will be gud. If not blame a grot! Nar har har haa!

When picking wargear I like to remind myself that an extra Gretchin is only 5 points and they can take an objective or hold up the angry looking Deathwing terminator, before deciding if I really need it?

Right then, who's in charge here?

Been a little while since a major post so let's get going with some 40k Orks just in time for Orktobe.... OK well I may have missed the traditional ork month but that doesn't mean the Orky goodness has to stop, just ask Nazdreg.

Telescope bionic eye? Why is that not a thing??

Why Nazdreg? Well today we are going to be looking at my special character inspired freshly painted Boss man.

No not him, we are not in Cobb County, Georgia

Yes Slegg Bloodnug has finally got a miniature painted up again, that didn't take long did it, hmmm I started this blog in 2015.

I used the original Nazdreg Ug Urdgrub model with a slight conversion. Never really liked how he is waving his power fist in the air, as if to say "Hey look at me!" Also isn't he supposed to have a power claw like the art above suggests?

Not a Power Claw Nazdreg.

Zoggin 'Eck! More Orks!

That's right more Goff Orks to join the one I painted a week or so ago. Including a heavy weapons specialist and the former Slegg Bloodnug model  who is now just a nob with chainsword to lead them, oh yes.

Ere' why we out in da snow, boss?

Yea' boss my squig pie is gettin cold!

Here are the first two lads, the one on the left lost the handle for his axe but he's still ok. The one on the right had some odd stuff happening with his axe arm which is why it is at a tilt.

Ya' feelin cold Rotgub? Go stand next to Wazzik, he'll warm you up.

The original Slegg Bloodnug with chainsword conversion, many the time he charged down a bunch of space marines only to be shot repeatedly, ah memories.

I'm not going near that fing boss, Wazzik will get us all killed!

I 'erd that Rotgub! Dis ere' kannon is for when those oomies show up.

One of the older heavy weapons orks you can get, painted up in Goff style armed with a pistol and a Heavy Plasma Cannon. Really do like this model plenty of character and the heavy plasma gun is nice and bulky. He will certainly help when the Imperium brings out the tanks or worse to trouble the lads. Turn to high power and hope he doesn't fry the lot of them when it malfunctions.

Shut your traps lads, we need to find Gitglum, boss wants his scout report. C'mon!

These four are a right motley crew ready to get up close and personal with the enemy. Had a lot of fun painting up these four even if three of them are just the orks from the 2nd edition box set with some minor changes made. 

Until next time.
