Warhammer 40,000 Campaign
The sneakin’ Eldar are back…
The game that was postponed last month is back on; my 750pt Mek list verses my mates Eldar.
We’re playing tomorrow night and the game is actually going to form the first game of a campaign that, at the rate we get games organised, will take 3 - 6 months to complete.
Anyway here’s the campaign courtesy of my mate the sneakin’ Eldar git…
Warhammer 40,000 Campaign
Wazrukk meets da Stompa
Wazrukk meets da Stompa
Well da Waaargh is back from the Canaries and Wazrukk has gone a slightly darker shade of green.
Wurrzog wasn’t invited so was left to carry on building the Stompa.
Wazrukk’s reaction to the progress so far was captured on his return…
…Corr Indeed!
Buildin’ da Stompa
Wazrukk returned to Wurrzog’s camp with trukk loads of scrap for da stompa.
So, Wurrzog (me) got stuck in…
—-
I’ve built the body, the head, the shooty arm and most of the chain-fist arm.
I just wanted to share a tip… Don’t try to hold both weapon arms on with one hand to see what it looks like…
They will drop off and they will break!
Yes, I found out through personal experience.
The shooty arm come off quite badly, most was fixable but the little targeter on the fat missile was pretty much destroyed so I just chopped it off and sanded it down (I was planning on doing this anyway - honest… 
he says dripping with sarcasm).
Anyway, just a word of warning…
—-
Wurrzog, picks his spanner back up and gets back to work…
Sneakin’ Eldar
As soon as the attack began, it was over.
Wurrzog scanned the skys for something to shoot at but the Eldar were no where to be seen.
“Sneakin’ gits, neva stick around for a proper scrap…” he growled and took a swipe at the nearest snotling.

That’s right the game was called off.
But I’ll report on what happens when Wurrzog and the Eldar finally do clash.
The Eldar Strike
Wazrukk headed off to get some scrap so that Wurrzog could build him a Stompa.
While he was away Wurrzog continued to tinker in his workshop.
After a few days of nothing in particular happening there was suddenly a huge explosion, there was nothing unuasual
with that, except it was usually Wurrzog that was the cause of them…
Rushing out of his workshop, pausing just long enough to grab his Shokk Attack Gun.
He got outside and saw an Eldar Jet Bike strafing the camp.
“Roight!” Bellowed Wurrzog, “Round up the Snotlings…”

Playing a 750 pt battle with my new Mek list this evening…
Deff Dread - Simple Conversion.
Ork Deff Dread with 3 Close Combat Weapons
I had to do a simple conversion for my Deff Dread. I found that if you want to add a 3rd close combat weapon arm, the hole for the arm is a little low, especially the way I chose to position the legs.
To work around this I sealed up he hole with green stuff and drilled a new hole higher up.
I got the 3rd arm from a Killa Kan kit. As you only get 2 close combat weapons in an Ork Dread kit adding extra arms can get pretty expensive.
All in all though I like the Deff Dread (apart from the above gripe), the huge long limbs look really cool, I can just imagine them flailing around on the battlefield…
Big Mek Wurrzog
Wazrukk was in luck, after a few days he came across an Ork camp, it had the unmistakable signs of Orkish industry; chaos, smoke and a lot of shouting.
Roaring into the camp with the rest of his warband, Wazrukk saw Killa Kans a a Deff Dread milling around to one side and know that he’d found the Mek he was looking for.
Sure enough, out a run down workshop, a large Ork appeared carrying a huge hammer…
“What’s all dis den?” he demanded.
Wazrukk replied “I’s da biggest Warboss around dis place. If you join me you’ll get all the scrap metal you want. You join my Waaargh and together we’ll build enough Stompa’s to Stomp this planet flat! What’s ya name?”
“I’s Wurrzog da Dreadmek and I reckon you got a deal…”
So Wurrzog joined Wazrukk and a unholy alliance was spawned.

The following 750pt list is Wurrzog’s Warband.
| Big Mek with Shock Attack Gun | 95 |
| Deff Dread with Extra Close Combat Weapon & Skorcha | 95 |
| 20 Shoota Boyz & 2 Big Shootas | 130 |
| 20 Slugga Boyz & Nob with Power Claw | 155 |
| Battlewagon with Kannon & 4 Big Shootas | 120 |
| 3 Killa Kans, 2 with Rokkits & 1 with Kustum Mega Blasta | 155 |
| Total | 750 |
Adding the Mek to my current Speed Freeks list not only gives me a good back story to justify the addition of the Stompa, it also gives me a new army to surprise my opponent on Tuesday evening. I’m playing against Eldar. I’ll post about how the new Mek army performs after the game.
