Goatboy’s 40K – March of the Gorkanauts & Friends!

Goatboy here and the new Psychic Awakening book came out so it has me thinking – what the heck can I do with some Gorkanauts and the Orks. I feel the power of the WAAAGH!

This of course will lead me down a path of destruction and doom as my poor little brain tries to think of the dumb things I could do with an army of 3 of these little turds.  Will it work?  Will it be Viable? Can I do something goofy with it?  Who knows – lets throw math out the window and work on some Orks.

Alright – my plan is to use 3 Gorkanauts and other stuff to do something dumb.  I think I will go Freebootaz as getting me to hit on 4+’s with a bunch of guns seems good.  Plus I can do some weird Kustom upgrades on the Gorkanauts with the idea that 3 Big Meks have each built a Gorkanaut to their liking.  Or maybe a Deffkilla Wartrike as some kind of super Boss like guy? Thus we can do some weird idea of an Orky competition.  With that little kernel of an idea let’s build.

Da Kunnin Plan

First – all 3 Gorkanauts need to go into a Dread Waagh! detachment.  This gives me some extra bits to mess with like the whole Double shot option for 2CP.  With the add on of the Supa Shokk Attack gun too – this gives me a cool idea for the super shootie Gorkanaut.

First Gork – will call it Mo’ Dakka run by Big Mek Supa Flex

Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun – Warlord – Bigkilla Boss, Relic – Da Souped Up Shokk Attack Gun – 80pts
Gorkanaut – Kustom Job – Slug Gubbin (Ivy 24 S6 Ap-1 D1) – 311pts (-1CP)

Second Gork – will call it PinPoint run by Big Mek Sparkz

Big Mek with Kustom Force Field – 55pts
Gorkanaut – Kustom Job – Sparly Bitz (+1 to BS) – 311pts

Third Gork – will call it Angry Pete run by Deffkilla Wartrike BigKruncha!

He is pushing his monster forward and the idea this is the one getting mixed in surrounded by his other fast friends.

Deffkilla Wartrike – 120pts
Gorkanaut – Kustom Job – Orkymatic Pistons (+3 to movement and reroll advance rolls) – 311pts

Each of these Mek like guys do different things as one is moving fast towards the enemy or might teleported, the other two are design to sit back and throw down fire, and the Big Meks each have their own job to do.  After that we have to figure out how to build the rest of it to make it work – and what other nonsense we want to put into it.  As this is a Gorkanaut army I want to run a bunch of Gretchin as helpers for these big Meks, Add things the Deffkilla likes to ride with, and even a Weird Boy to help out.  I could also look at things to fill up the Brigade too – and I need more CP to just do dumb CP things like double shoot and the like.  It most likely means a whole lot more Gretchin as I fill up things to help out.  Let’s see what I can end up with.

Tak-tiks

So this is a hot mess of weird stuff trying to get some damage in and everyone hits on a 4’s and maybe someone on a 3’s (the Sparkly Bits Gorkanaut).  The Meks can heal some guys, everything else is moving forward and you even have bodies to just get in the way.  The 30 boyz are there to get jumped, throw out a ton of random Dakka, and maybe do some other fun stuff if needed.  Plus it is a ton of cool looking models and you can totally modify them up to look like crazy converted options as each of the Ork leaders try to out do each other.

~ Do you think my WAAAGH can win?
