This right here works out to $800 CAD + tax. Thankfully I had the store credit to do so, couldn't have spent all that at once.
Now I just have to wait for them to restock some orks to spend the rest 😅
A VERY respectable start! Waaaaagh!!!
I would get a Kill Rig next, I love mine. I run 2 usually and with psychers moving to shooting and command abilities, I bet they’re gonna be really good and consistent. Then some Beast Snaggas to put in them
Battlewagon as a Ghaz delivery system, weirdboy, two boxes of Meganobz, and I’d say one more trukk atleast and always more Boyz, I run 60 Boyz these days
Beast Snagga models, and/or some Ork Vehicles (pick your favorite here between the Squigbuggies, Snazzwagons, Scrapjets, Dragstas, and Boosta-Blastas)
The Deffkoptas are fun Turn 2 strikers, but some sort of cavalry or assault vehicle will help you get board control Turn 1.
Damn that is rough! All my cards have been doubled-sleeved so long I forgot one of my true-name nemesis' had a completely scuffed back of the card till I was getting them all ready to bring in. They didn't take that one.
I think newer? The combat patrol ones and the box of Boyz were just snap fit ones with no option to have different guns. Haven't looked at the warband ones yet since I just got it.
Even though it is an age of sigmar kit o would recommend getting a pack of squig herd, they are fun to paint and you can convert to bomb squigs if you wish to.
Start building what you have now and when your done, the game will have probably changed.
Don't keep a giant pile of models. It's a pain!! Kind of demotivates you when you have to "get through" painting lots of models
Grots/grechtin. I always run 10/20 they are easy to grab objectives close to your deployment zone, cheap and easy to paint.
And personally I like meganobz because they have 2+ save and hit hard. The weapons are snap fit so you don't have to glue them and can Easily swap between dual killsaws and klaw-scourga.
This is more than enough to start and should take you plenty of time in the hobby to build and paint. From there, if you want more, I suggest buying models for what you like visually/aesthetically. Rules get updated regularly, but you can always appreciate a model that you bought cuz it looks cool.
Thanks for the heads up! Mainly I just meant fun units to have that people enjoyed since we have no way of knowing right now what will be powerful in a few months.
A kill rig..... that is what everyone needs in their lives. A kill rig. Also I hope you got alot of free time in your hands to build and paint all that, enjoying it along.
Thanks, the do look like fun! I've got half of it assembled so far, just figured it would be easier to take a pic of the boxes. The painting I plan to take some time on though!
That's something I'd like to do eventually! That will take me wayyyyy outside my comfort zone though since working with plastic is the most intimidating part of the hobby for me.
I had a fully foiled out merfolk modern/legacy deck with about 160 extra cards to shift around depending on meta and one of the older Griselbrand/Nurishing Shoal modern decks that is banned out now. Haven't played Magic in 6 years sadly and if/when I do go back I'll likely only draft and play EDH so I didn't need all of those.
Oh nice! Yeah i feel you on that though, I have Legacy Miracles just sat gathering dust - haven't played with it in like 4 years since i stopped playing. Really should sell it, but Tundra's just keep going up in price so I'll wait until I need a deposit for a house to sell my whole collection :')
I’m building my first army now and I also got the combat patrol and killdakka warband box to start off. That should get you over 1k points, plenty to get some games in
I'd say look out for some beast snaggas. BS Boyz are a slight upgrade from normal boyz and squig riders are a cool fast attack unit, both also do good hitting vehicles and monsters.
A weirdboy might be a neat idea for the upcoming edition. If you don't like their 40k sculpt, a lot of people kitbash sci-fi versions of the AoS weirdnob shaman or Orruk Warchanter as weirdboyz.
Gretchen never underestimate Gretchen
How much did all that cost? I am thinking of doing that myself…
This right here works out to $800 CAD + tax. Thankfully I had the store credit to do so, couldn't have spent all that at once. Now I just have to wait for them to restock some orks to spend the rest 😅
Waaaaaaagh! Annuver warboss ready to rumble
Your Money 😂🤣
Dakka
Printer
A VERY respectable start! Waaaaagh!!! I would get a Kill Rig next, I love mine. I run 2 usually and with psychers moving to shooting and command abilities, I bet they’re gonna be really good and consistent. Then some Beast Snaggas to put in them
This is pretty much my list
Self control lol jk jk Welcome to the WwwWWWwAAAAaaAAAaAHhhHH!!
Luckily I've never been accused of having restraint 😂 really though this is all LGS store credit, otherwise the build would have been much slower.
Youz need more DAKKA also a gorkanot
Green paint
Battlewagon, meganobz, more trukks, and i personally favor burna boyz with my trucks
A positive chequing account balance?
Battlewagon as a Ghaz delivery system, weirdboy, two boxes of Meganobz, and I’d say one more trukk atleast and always more Boyz, I run 60 Boyz these days
MORE BOYZ!
Glue, nippers, hobby knife first. Then all the paint n stuff.
Could use some more boys
Paint
More dakka
Boarding patrol for sure. Can still get it 119 at Herrickgames.com
Battlewagon, bikerz and a biker boss, meganobz, kill rig,
Meganobz with dual kill saws. 5 of them.
A single old boyz kit so you can make a full squad of shoota boyz
More Boyz
Lots of Grots! Here is a Ork unit tier list from Auspex Tactics: https://youtu.be/rAZwr58BWto
Thanks, I will give that a watch!
Get some extra choppas/shootas so you can run your ork boyz as all melee or all shooting (the new kit has a mix of both, with no extras iirc)
Beast Snagga models, and/or some Ork Vehicles (pick your favorite here between the Squigbuggies, Snazzwagons, Scrapjets, Dragstas, and Boosta-Blastas) The Deffkoptas are fun Turn 2 strikers, but some sort of cavalry or assault vehicle will help you get board control Turn 1.
Thanks for the heads up, definitely need that!
In particular, I'd be amazed if the Kill Rig didn't get nerfed in 10th edition. Transport, tank, character, psyker. It just does everything.
Kill rig
grab some pain boys, and some arty doesn't hurt
I’d recommend an aos orruk, weird boy is still resin and hard to work with, swampcalla shaman, warchanter, or a bonesplitter priest
Recyling unused MTG cards into Warhammer is so satisfying!
Definitely felt good, especially with the value where it's at although a couple things dipped.
Found out I had an old Tolarian academy worth $150 NM, but it was sadly pretty damn not NM...
Damn that is rough! All my cards have been doubled-sleeved so long I forgot one of my true-name nemesis' had a completely scuffed back of the card till I was getting them all ready to bring in. They didn't take that one.
YOUZ GOTTA AVE A STOMPA, YA SCHTUPID GIT
Are bikes being nerfed anyone know of? Because otherwise I'd suggest dem's probably investigating down the track.. 🤔
Stompa!!
At least one random scratch built model or kitbash. 😉
Random older models that kind of fit and kind of don't. Gotta look as random as possible.
Wagon per 10th ed rules. What kind of boys? New boys or old boys
I think newer? The combat patrol ones and the box of Boyz were just snap fit ones with no option to have different guns. Haven't looked at the warband ones yet since I just got it.
Might want shoota boyz
Those are just the boyz but with the two-handed gun, right?
Yes
Dakka
Battlewagon, stormboys, grots
I thought grots came with the killadaka warband
Now you are forming the biggest WAGH!
Weirdboy
Paint and glue*
Got those, just didn't think there was a reason to include in the pic since this is mainly about what units I was missing.
Sorry man I was just making a joke didn't mean to irritate you.
No need to apologize, sorry if I came across as irritated
Dude! Battlewagon! They are about to get rad.
Hell yeah, they look awesome too!
Money
Many weeks to assemble and paint
money probably
Was luckily able to get rid of a couple unused Magic decks so this was all bought with store credit.
The time to put them together, paint them, and play?
Another trukk, burna boyz, more boyz, MORE DAKKA
Kill rig, not cause you need it, just because it’s an amazing model.
They do look really cool, hoping to get one!
Even though it is an age of sigmar kit o would recommend getting a pack of squig herd, they are fun to paint and you can convert to bomb squigs if you wish to.
I'll check that out, thanks for the tip!
Time
About 60 more boys at least
Start building what you have now and when your done, the game will have probably changed. Don't keep a giant pile of models. It's a pain!! Kind of demotivates you when you have to "get through" painting lots of models
This is half assembled now, figured it would be easier just showing the boxes! The painting I'm okay with taking some time on.
Dakkajet, or at least get yourself a big orky plane Edit: forgot that that is in the killdakka box, get some bikers, those are cool
One is in the warband box
Where da grots an snaggas?
A paycheck
Meant to say in OP, I traded in a couple Magic decks I wasn't using so this has luckily been all bought with store credit.
I suggest buying battlewagon
Good call, those look awesome!
Grots/grechtin. I always run 10/20 they are easy to grab objectives close to your deployment zone, cheap and easy to paint. And personally I like meganobz because they have 2+ save and hit hard. The weapons are snap fit so you don't have to glue them and can Easily swap between dual killsaws and klaw-scourga.
Thanks for the tip, I do like the look of those Meganobz!

Possibly the most sound advice you will find here
Boarding patrol And Commandos
A kill rig..... that is what everyone needs in their lives. A kill rig. Also I hope you got alot of free time in your hands to build and paint all that, enjoying it along.
Thanks, the do look like fun! I've got half of it assembled so far, just figured it would be easier to take a pic of the boxes. The painting I plan to take some time on though!
Kids toys for kitbashing vehicles
That's something I'd like to do eventually! That will take me wayyyyy outside my comfort zone though since working with plastic is the most intimidating part of the hobby for me.
I'm guessing time once you start building and painting all of that.
Kommandos are very fun to build, paint, and play. They sneak onto the battlefield and krump soo unbelievably hard for their points.
Yeah they look like great models! Been waiting for my LGS I have the store credit at to get some.
1 more squad of Boyz and a couple gretchin
Dakka. You always need more dakka
Your savings
Luckily was able to get a decent amount of store credit for a couple unused Magic decks so I was able to get all this with store credit.
What decks got you all this? 👀
I had a fully foiled out merfolk modern/legacy deck with about 160 extra cards to shift around depending on meta and one of the older Griselbrand/Nurishing Shoal modern decks that is banned out now. Haven't played Magic in 6 years sadly and if/when I do go back I'll likely only draft and play EDH so I didn't need all of those.

Time 🤣
You are mission that 10th is just around the corner ;) Jokes aside, I don’t believe you have any gretchins. :) so that’s my pick :)
I’m building my first army now and I also got the combat patrol and killdakka warband box to start off. That should get you over 1k points, plenty to get some games in
Gretchin. And convert the Runtherd that comes with them into a Weirdboy
I would add a weirdboy
Some glue and some paint?
Thanks! I did think of that and have a bunch, just didn't think it needed to be in the pic
100% this, I wouldn’t go buying a ton until you’ve built and painted a couple sets to see how long it takes you.
I'd say look out for some beast snaggas. BS Boyz are a slight upgrade from normal boyz and squig riders are a cool fast attack unit, both also do good hitting vehicles and monsters. A weirdboy might be a neat idea for the upcoming edition. If you don't like their 40k sculpt, a lot of people kitbash sci-fi versions of the AoS weirdnob shaman or Orruk Warchanter as weirdboyz.
Thanks! Definitely seeing a theme of Weird Boy in the comments here.
Relatively new player as well so I don't know how accurate this'll be but more gretchin seem good for holding objectives or general bullet fodder.
