The Bank Account: HERE has been updated.

A few teef earned here and there, but a bit of a slow week. Congrats to Boss 'Ardrager who finally got his kit. Which makes me look at all you naked orks (not ogle mind you) and leer contently that at least we have some who are ready for mine field duty  ;)

For those of you who don't want mind field duty, earn some teef, and buy some kit. If you don't know how to earn some teef just read the stuff in the bank account right after the report sheets. To see who is mine field crew and who is battle ready just scroll up a bit and look at the roster, those that have kit have it listed after their names. If there is nothing after your name then you are mine field clearers.

Lots of stuff going on this month to earn teef, make sure to get stuck in.

So, going to make my first real Ork investment next month. I'll be dropping some money on my first box of boyz. Not so sure I want to go with AoBR boyz as I want extra bits and prefer to support my LGS. I've been interested in the hobby since 1992 and have been collecting miniatures and painting. I never really played the game though.

I love under-dog armies and from what I've heard in my LGS and on the forums, the Orks have been under-dogs for awhile and will most likely be under-dogs for quite a awhile.

My initial list will be 1k and can be viewed at this link: Kommando Un'Toof's Convoy

Eventually I will be moving toward three lists. Biker Gang, Dakka focus and Green Tide. Perhaps dabbling into allies later in my career.

Anyway, I hope to be an active Ork of the WotW and eventually model warboss for other grots and new recruits to look up to.

Edit: How can I get a avatar photo? I tried changing it in my user cp but it only lets me select photos that are already uploaded and when I select that it says there are no photos.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome Kommando Un'Toof, allow me to add my greetings - Skeet's already filled you in so no need to repeat any of that. Getting your boyz set up with shootas will be a good first step towards two of your goals - a green tide with lots of dakka! Don't listen to any silly humies who refer to Orks as underdogs. If they persist, send a hungry squig in their direction. Then you can sell their models on ebay and buy more Orks.  ;D

Thanks! I've always wanted to make huge blobs of shooting units. I just wanted it to be ... well.... not Imperial. I can't stand the way they look and their to be perfectly honest... they are not Orky enough.  8)

The Bank Account: HERE and we are up to 111 members now. I don't know, but is the 111 a magic ork number?

Some good stuff going on this month, and some great toof earning opportunities are in the works. So stay tuned.

Also everyone go to the first page of this thread and you can see Ork E Nuff has some new kit. That means he is off the minefield team, as for the rest of you naked orks.......... Lets just say that there is a minefield that needs clearing and guess who is getting volunteered  ???

As always, if I missed any toof earning activity, just send me a PM and I will get your account updated tootie sweetie.

The best way to get some teef (and really the only way) is to participation.  The WotW is a lot like the other CoC's and PoC's on the 40konline site, but I personally feel that one of the reasons why we've become so active and such a great community is because when we built it up we took the initiative on creating the teef system as a way to further reward those who participate.  (Well we also have the amazingly insane Skeetergod who was willing to be an Orkountant).

We have a wide multitude of events that come up from time to time, usually run by Angel of Death 007, Skeetergod, Adamscurr or myself (well moreso on the other boss's parts), including special scenario games, building/painting competitions, and fiction competitions.  Usually even if you don't place highly, there is still a nice reward granted, but if you're good (and lucky) enough to place at the top you'll get a good sized crate of teef.

More than just events though each month Adamscurr runs a Unit of the Month thread which besides being a place to discuss various units and strategies also is a good goldmine for teef, particularly if you happen to be heavy on the tactical mindset with great pics of your minis.  Other good ways of earning teef are writing up Batreps, fiction, and tactica for the greater forum (as such I mean putting these up in the appropriate areas such as the Batrep and Fiction boards, then letting us here at the WotW know).

Now I'm not going to say that those are the only ways to earn teef (although that's a lot of different ways if you think about it!), but they are the most common.  From time to time and really on a whim I've been known to gift a couple teef here and there, and I believe that AoD, Skeetergod and Adamscurr do the same.  But that's a rarity and isn't usually done in the public.

Ultimately though teef are just a bonus to the WotW, as are titles within the WotW.  They aren't really given, they have to be earned, so if you want to get off that minefield, the best (and really only) way is to participate.

Peace

Truly beautiful work. That's the kind of stuff that makes a true mekanik cry tears of joy.

Thanks for all the advice, although i did know most or all of the stuff already as i can read (i think it's in one of the stickies, well i know i read it somewhere)  ;D

Yeah most of my minis are gray colorscheme, so not much teef to get with pictures of awesome battles. And in the nearly two years i've been collecting i've only played a hand full of games so no awesome batreps either  :-\

But i'm big on converting stuff so next Gitz it done or similar event i'm going to get myself some teef =)

already got 2 manz converted from AoBR Nobz in the last week :) (would have put them up for last month event but i was too lazy to paint them)

I did read about fiction event and i might try my luck there but i have absolutely no idea what to write about and i have only like 10 painted minis and since it's linked to one i might have to pass up on that one :(

but anyways it's great to be welcomed into the community :)

Welcome aboard Kommando Un'Toof and Yellow.   Lets see if you can make it thru mine clearing duty to earn your t-shirt. 

Sorry to everyone, my new job duties have made me very much out of time as of recently.   I am going to try and catch up over the next few days.

The Bank Account: HERE has been updated, and those who earned teef from the Gitz it done event will see them there.

Some good stuff going on this month, make sure you get stuck in to earn some teef, and once you earn some teef make sure to get some kit, as all you naked orks out there are looking at some serious minefield duty soon. Those with kit will just wait and watch while those without kit clear the minefield for us.  :D

So go to the Nano Orko or the Unit of the Month and get stuck in for this months toof earning activities.
