A few GorkaMorka House rules by Ogrebane

Ive been trolling the web for additional rules for GorkaMorka (Why we are never happy with the original rules I'll never know but like the engineers say if it aint broke it needs more features).

I compiled a heap of them into one document which I wont put here I'll leave a link for you to follow and have a look. Anyway Eddie wanted to run a Battle wagon as he had built one for 40k so that sparked my initial search as well as the fact I had bought a heap of orks and had 9 Koptas to do something with. A few I will convert to bikes but I would also like to have a Kopta in GoMo. So here are the rules for that I can up with as well as a few others I put together.

Cheers

Heres a Link to Mek Town. A lot of good stuff here.
 He also has links to other sites but most of them dont work.        <<<< Mek Town >>>>

Koptas and Wokkas

Deth Koptas

Deth Kopta.       15 points

The Deth Kopta is Dregmeck Blitzkart’s latest invention. This flying machine will revolutionize warfare as the Orks know it, or so the Mek’s sales pitch claims. Roaring through the air, it certainly is a stirring sight, but most Orks prefer to have both feet firmly planted on the ground and only the most insane of ork spannas are brave enough to fly this potential death trap!

Except where noted below, the Deth Kopta is treated exactly like a bike for movement, shooting, being shot at and so on (think of the wheel/track hit location as ‘wurly bits’). The Deth Copta needs a spanner in order to maintain this vehicle. As the Kopta is so complex the spanner may only maintain the Kopta and will pilot it himself.

During its movement the Deth Kopta flies over any models or terrain no higher than 6” tall. If it moves into a piece of terrain taller than 6” it will collide as normal. Whilst flying, the Deth Kopta cannot ram or be rammed, be hoarded or otherwise have warriors moving on or off it. If the Deth Kopta is immobilized, for any reason, it will crash to the ground and take D3 damage, from then on it may he rammed and boarded just like any other immobilized vehicle. If the Deth Kopta fails a Thrust test, roll on the Thruster Buster Chart as normal and also on the Kopta Thruster Buster Table.

                                                                      Kopta Thruster Buster Table.

        D6                                                                                  Result

          1                  Stall! The Deth Kopta soars into the air before plunging to the ground with a
                              crash. It takes 1D6 damage just as if it had been involved in a collision.

          2                  Krunch! The Deth Kopta skids along the ground and takes 1D3 damage just
                              as if it had been involved in a crash. The Deth Kopta will collide or crash with
                              any vehicle or terrain it moves over during its random move.

          3                  Skreech! The Deth Kopta barely stays aloft and if it moves over a vehicle or
                               terrain during its random move it will crash or collide as normal.

          4+                Phew! The Deth Kopta moves erratically but stays airborne and is otherwise
                               safe.

The Deth Kopta is not powerful enough to carry anyone except the pilot and so never has any crew. This means that if the mob is split into separate reinforcement groups because of the scenario being played, the Deth Kopta and its mad Spanna pilot will always be in a group on its own. Nobody else would ever dream of flying the Deth Kopta, so you cannot have one of your warriors challenge the Spanna for the position of driver.

Kustomisin: Between battles, the spanna will patch up any damage done to the Deth Kopta. If you need upgrades or repairs tho you will have to find a Mek who will work on the Kopta. Roll a D6 and on a roll of 4+ the local Mek will give it a go.

The Mek can perform one kustomisin’ job on the Deth Kopta after each game. As this is a new type of craft tho there will be a -1 modifier to his rolls on the Big Day Roll.

Special Gubbins.

Sky Hook:   5 teef

The sky hook is a hook on a whinch attached to the Def Kopta to pick up scrap. This enables the Kopta to pick up scrap without having to land. If the Deth Kopta finishes its turn with 2” of a scrap marker it may pick it up the next turn and make a normal move. As operating the winch takes a lot of carefull maneuvering the pilot cannot shoot that turn.

The sky hook can only carry one piece of scrap so cannot be used again if it is already carrying a piece of scrap. If the sky hook is hit on a roll of a 4+ it will drop the scrap it is carrying.  As with all gubbins on a roll of a 4+ this piece will be destroyed.

Double Wokka

Double Wokka.     25 points

Following the Deth Kopta’s success some of the Meks made a few Kustomisations to the Kopta. In order to carry more boys the Double Wokka was produced. This mad Kontrapshun has two or more rotary blades and can carry up to 4 crew including the pilot. As Orks cant count more than 1 more than 1 they call it a double Wokka no matter how many blades it has.

Except where noted below, the Double Wokka is treated exactly like a truck for movement, shooting, being shot at and so on (think of the wheel/track hit location as ‘wurly bits’). The Wokka needs a spanner in order to maintain this vehicle. As the Wokka is so complex the spanner may only maintain the Wokka and will pilot it himself. The Wokka can have twin linked guns mounted to shoot forward (Shoota required) or it can have the gun mounted on one side of the vehicle. In which case its 90 deg arc is from the side the gun is mounted. Like a truck the Wokka may mount 1 heavy shoota etc.

During its movement the Wokka flies over any models or terrain no higher than 6” tall. If it moves into a piece of terrain taller than 6” it will collide as normal. Whilst flying, the Wokka cannot ram or be rammed, be hoarded or otherwise have warriors moving on or off it. If the Wokka is immobilized, for any reason, it will crash to the ground and take D3 + 1 damage, from then on it may he rammed and boarded just like any other immobilized vehicle. If the Wokka fails a Thrust test, roll on the Thruster Buster Chart as normal and also on the Kopta Thruster Buster Table.

Nobody else would ever dream of flying the Wokkata, so you cannot have one of your warriors challenge the Spanna for the position of driver.

Kustomisin: Between battles, the spanna will patch up any damage done to the Wokka. If you need upgrades or repairs tho you will have to find a Mek who will work on the Wokka. Roll a D6 and on a roll of 4+ the local Mek will give it a go.

The Mek can perform one kustomisin’ job on the Deth Kopta after each game. As this is a new type of craft tho there will be a -1 modifier to his rolls on the Big Day Roll.

Special Gubbins.

Sky Hook:   5 teef

The sky hook is a hook on a winch attached to the Wokka to pick up scrap. This enables the Kopta to pick up scrap without having to land. If the Deth Kopta finishes its turn with 2” of a scrap marker it may pick it up the next turn and make a normal move. As operating the winch takes a lot of careful maneuvering the pilot cannot shoot that turn. If a crew member is available the he can load the scrap into the Wokka. From then on the crew member will become the Loadie and will have to be fought in order to give up his position. He will become a permanent member of the Wokka crew. Only 1 piece of scrap can be loaded per turn. The Sky hook can also be used to raise or lower crew to the ground. Only one crew member can be raised/ lowered per turn.

The sky hook can only carry one piece of scrap so cannot be used again if it is already carrying a piece of scrap, unless the loadie has loaded the scrap in which case it is free to be used again. If the sky hook is hit on a roll of a 4+ it will drop the scrap it is carrying.  As with all gubbins on a roll of a 4+ this piece will be destroyed.

Back with some new Stuff.

So Cancon didnt go so well. Lost 7 straight games so decided not to play the last day. So I havent really done much to my Khador army. Painted a butcher and 3 MOW bombardiers Ill load some pics if I can find them.

Anyway been palying with a few things like scenery etc but of late I have become interested in GorkaMorka.

So I have a few wips Ill load up and some house rules I'll post

Cheers.

GorkaMorka Wips

Boss bike

Std Mod of a ABR Kopta. Im going to use the skid idea as the theme for one of the GoMo mobs as you can see in the Trukk and Trak

Trukk: GrotSquisha

Trak: GrotSmasha



And just for fun and as a practice for my upcoming warmachine army I am making a Large Clippa for a Grot Mob. Can you guess which warmachine army Im going.

More later. I have a few boize painted. Im trying a wash painting aproach to see how that works.

Cheers



50pts painted now to basing

Still not sure about the bases for this army. I want an urban base theme but how to do it alludes me atm.

Anyway I have painted a full 50pts now. The winter gaurd need some prettying up, like faces finished but they are good enough to take to a tourney now. I will do alittle more work on them as time permits. Ive also done a quick paint job on torch (Not my torch I will build a heavily modded version if he palys well) Also a couple of mechanics are near done as well. Once again a few small details to finish but good enough for now.

Winter gaurd with Yoseph. I left a few at home but a unit of 10 with command are done.

The worst thing about digital cameras is they show up mistakes I cant see with my own eyes. I will do alittle more work on the faces tho.

My version of torch. Needs some battle damage and more highlifhgts and shading but he willdo the job for now.

I hope to do some basing this week so stay tuned.

I love Man O Wars

Still cant get over how good these guys are. I was nearly not going to buy the battle box cause I thought they were pox. I now have all 3 types and am working on getting all the solos as well.

Anyway another quick update

Forgot the pic. Here tis.

Left the shoulder pads at home so they will get done next trip out here.

A Quick Update

The bodies of the MOW are near done. A few bits to clean up and some battle damage (which may have to wait) . They look a little drab at the moment so I will put a splash of red in there somewhere as well. Next is finish weapon and shields which just need a bit more highlighting. Also the cod pieces need t be glued on as well..

More soon

Cancon here I come

Been awhile since an update but I have been slowly progressing My Khador army for both Cancon and the BBBB. I have had a bit of success with Sorscha of late wining 8 of my last 10 games. Its a one hit wonder but so far the caster snipe is working for me.

Along with my new found respect for Sorscha is a growing respect for the resiliance of the MOW's so I went out and bought Drahken and added him to my army as well. I now have enough bits to field all 3 types of MOW units as well as 2 solos.

Anyway I decide to go to Cancon next year.

What is Cancon?

Cancon is a game convention runs in Australia’s capital City “Canberra” organised by the Canberra Games Society, it’s been around for ever!

I usually go to Dogcon in Sydney (Well Ive been twice) but the last couple of years the numbers have been down and Cancon is currently the premier event. It runs Friday 27th – Sunday 29th - This is the Australia Day weekend.

There are two events during the weekend for Warmachine/Hordes

25 Point Highlander – One day event

50 Point Steamroller – One Day event

In order to keep my painting time down I will be taking a core army for both events

Highlander list will be as follows.
  Kommander Sorscha Kratikoff                       5
      Juggernaut                                    7
      Destroyer                                     9
  Man-o-War Shocktroopers (Leader and 4 troops)     9
  Man-o-War Drakhun (+Dismount)                     5
  Points:                                       25/25


Steam roller as follows
  Kommander Sorscha Kratikoff                       5
      Torch                                        11
      Juggernaut                                    7

      Winter Guard Infantry Officer and Std Bearer  2
  Kovnik Jozef Grigorovich                          2
  Points:                                       50/50


Not sure about the points for this as I thought it was 3 points for 4 mechs but seems I get 6 for 3 points online.
So I have alot of minis to paint still.

Base colors for the Man O war unit. I was originally going to magnetise the weapons but now I can field all 3 types.

Wips of the shield. The colors dont really show up well with this camera. Maybe I need a better light source.

This is the unmounted Drahkun. Picture is bad but the base color is Khaki and grey.

This is Drahkuns horse. Still have the head to go and also put him on the bigger base. I havent really decided on basing yet but it will be some sort of urbin base job.




Hopefully more to come this weeks
