Lower Register: Orks

Exigence - or - Why I Felt the Need to Create this Blog

12 August 2012.

Wow. 6th Edition is here, and I feel like it incorporated many facets of our house rules here are the Lower Register.

Go us. GW, you can have those for free.

Plz look for some updates soon as I try to figure out how my precious BA will fit in to the world of Overwatch and Random Charging distances. Gotta say, so far, I am loving the idea of 5 attacks per Death Company Marine (2 base, 2 for charging, 1 for extra weapon).

-Hax out-

Why Lower Register? Pedro and I started playing various wargames about five years ago, but found that we just didn't have time to complete standard games. We, along with our limited pool of playing partners, decided that we would become good at skirmish games that we could enjoy on a regular basis. So, over time we amassed a body of experience in Kill Team, Warmachine, Infinity, and other such games. This blog is the natural outgrowth of that experience, and our desire to share it with you all.

Project Ghazghkull Thraka

Pedro here...working on a special project, well not that special but thought I would just document the progress of my painting of the Citadel Finecast Model Ghazghkull Thraka. I dont claim to be the most talented painter in the world so this is as good as it gets for me.

Step 1: Priming the model

Primed in Chaos Black

Step 2: Base layer

All metal: Tin Bitz
Pistons: Mechrite Red and Boltgun Metal
Arms and Face: Knarloc Green
Teeth: Bestial Brown

Step 3: TBD (Stay tuned as I work through this model with more updates!)

These are a few of my favorite teams!

Sample KT lists I like (I cannot be arsed to be exact on the points here... my math is approximate, the goal is to come in at 200 points):

10 Boltgun Death Company - already FNP, Relentless, FC - make one infiltrate, one scouts, and one move through cover

10 BA Tactical Marines - take all the free stuff you can, Sergeant w/PW & SB, 1 Heavy Bolter (infiltrate) or Missile Launcher (relentless, use that 48" range), one Plasma Rifle (don't forget to roll Red Thirst after deploying) (198 Points)

5 BA Sanguinary Guard - Fleet, FnP (1/12 of taking a wound), and FC (don't forget to roll Red Thirst after deploying)

9 Eldar Harlequins - + Death Jester (Stealth) +Troupe Master (free PW, so Inf), 2x Kisses (one with scouts) Harlequins were made for KT!

10 Chaos Chosen - +Icon of Slaneesh (debatable here)

5 Deffkoptas - 1x Kustom Mega Blasta (FnP), 2x TLRL

13 Burnaz - Big Mek (KMB + FnP), Big Mek (Big Shoota, Infiltrate), Big Mek (Rokkit Launcha, ?) 10 Burna Boys

1 Baal Predator with TLAC and HB; 1 Techmarine w/ JP & SB... gotta love this one... bolster defenses for a 3+ save on the Baal, and stick around to fix the tank when it gets immobile/weap destroyed. Synergy, baby!

7 BA Sternguard - Sergeant w/ LC (Fleet); 1 Plasmagun (FNP)

5 DC + 1 PA Chaplain - Bolters all around... or not. This list depends on the semantics of squad vs. unit for KT rules.

and many more....

Lower Register Kill Team House Rules

Terrain: Use the normal amount of terrain/buildings/ruins suitable for a standard 6' X 4' playing surface (i.e. 25%), and arrange it uniformly on a 4' X 4' (or even 3' X 3') playing surface. Use at least five pieces of terrain; at least three should block LoS.
Morale Victory: The battle continues until one side has been reduced to half its starting models or less. The player must then take a morale (vice leadership) test at the start of each of their turns; if they fail the test then they lose. Else the battle continues, but the player must take tests on all subsequent turns, with a -1 modifier per test passed. The morale test is always done using the highest leadership value of any of the player’s surviving models.
Independent Operators: All models join and leave units as Independent Characters. In addition, when a model shoots or fights in an assault, it may split its attacks up amongst any eligible targets if desired.
