Start Collecting Orks Unboxing – 40k Starter Set

June 4, 2016 by Paul Leave a Comment

The Ork Menace has infiltrated my tabletop collection, and worse yet – my mind.

I’m totally addicted to collecting Orks.

This addiction started years and years ago when I bought an Ork vs Space Marines starter set – for the Space Marines, but ended up having more fun painting the Orks than the Space Marines!

By then though I had already invested into starting to build a Blood Angels army so I finished painting the Orks that came with that starter set and put them aside.

A few weeks ago, however, I was at my local gaming store and saw the Start Collecting Greenskinz set for Age of Sigmar and decided to get that to build out some Greenskins for AoS and I got re-addicted to Orks!

They’re just so much fun to build and I can’t wait to start painting them as well, but in the meantime I also decided to get into collecting Orks for Warhammer 40k, so I went and picked up a bunch of Orky goodness and got started.

The first set I picked up was the “Start Collecting Orks” starter set which I’ll be building out first.

Here’s a video I shot where I unbox the set and show you what you get with it:

This starter set is actually a really good deal as it comes with a set of Ork Boyz, a set of Ork Nobz, an Ork Painboy and an Ork Deff Dread.  If you were to buy all of those separately, you’re looking at around $130 USD for all those Orks, but in this set you get all that for about $85 USD which is about $45 off retail.

Very sweet deal in my opinion considering it’s about 300 points of Orky goodness.

What do you think of this new set?

I’ve got a bunch of other Ork stuff I bought which I’ll be uploading the unboxing videos for over the next few days, but I’m curious to hear what your favorite Ork units, weapons and vehicles are.

Leave a comment below and let me know what you think of this starter set and your opinion on either collecting or playing against the Orks.

Infinity Operation IceStorm Unboxing – PanOceania vs Nomads Battle Pack

June 1, 2016 by Paul Leave a Comment

I’ve been a bit quiet with the blog lately as I’ve been focusing on getting my Kickstarter campaign production completed, but this evening after winding down production for the night I decided to shoot a quick video of the Infinity Operation IceStorm Two-Player Battle Pack that I bought recently.

I’ve wanted to get this set for months now, but even though we sell Infinity miniatures at our store, this set has been totally sold-out at all of my suppliers so I haven’t been able to get a hold of it until now.

Since I’ve decided to go with Nomads as my main Infinity army, this is a perfect starter set to get started with, and having the extra PanO army as well will make it easier to play the game with any of my friends who want to play but don’t have an army started.

Here’s the unboxing video:

Although we don’t currently stock this particular set at our store, you CAN get the Nomads and PanO starter sets at our store at TabletopGamerStore.com.

IronJawz Orruk ArdBoyz Unboxing

May 12, 2016 by Paul Leave a Comment

A few days ago I did an unboxing the the Start Collecting Greenskinz Starter Set followed by an unboxing of the new IronJawz Orruk Maw-Krusha set from Games Workshop.

In today’s post I’ll be doing an unboxing of the IronJawz Orruk Ardboyz which is another set I picked up for my new Greenskinz army.

This box comes with 15 miniatures which include:

  • 1 x Ardboy Boss
  • 1 x Waaagh! Drummer
  • 1 x Standard Bearer
  • 12 x Orruk Ardboys

Let’s dive in and see what’s inside the box:

Orruk Ardboyz Unboxing

IronJawz Orruk Ardboyz

The front and the back of the box shows the IronJawz in all their painted glory.

Next I took some pictures of the sprues.

This set has 6 sprues total, and it appears that there at two types of sprues and three copies of each type.

Here’s a picture of the first type of sprue which is a bit larger than the other one.

I took a picture of one of them one way, and the other one flipped to the other side.

So for these larger sprues (shown above) there are a total of three of them in the box.

Next we have the smaller type sprues.

For these smaller types sprues (shown above), there is a total of three of these as well.

Next we have a couple of baggies with 15 round bases inside (above), and of course the instructions (below):

The instruction booklet is just 4 pages long and they look really easy to put together.

There’s also a couple of warscrolls included with the instruction booklet for the Orruk Ardboys.

These guys look like they’re going to be a lot of fun to paint, although I think I’m going to discipline myself and not allow myself to start on painting these until I get the Greenskins Starter Set done first. 🙂

What do you guys think of these IronJaws?

IronJawz Orruk Maw-Krusha Unboxing

May 10, 2016 by Paul Leave a Comment

I my last blog post I wrote about starting a Greenskinz army.

In today’s post I want to do an unboxing of one of the new Ironjawz releases – the Ironjaws Orruk Maw-Krusha kit which can be used to build either Gordrakk, The Fist of Gork – or – Megaboss on Maw-Krusha!

This is an absolutely GORGEOUS model from GW.

I just love the way it looks and I’m super excited to be adding this bad-boy to my collection.

Even if I wasn’t building a Greenskinz army I think I would buy this just because it’s such an amazing piece of art.

Let’s dive inside and see what’s inside the box.

The back of the box shows the second option for the set.  You can build it to look two different ways – the way shown on the front of the box, and the way shown on the back.

Ironjaws Orruk Maw-Krusha

Here we see what’s actually inside the box – a bunch of big sprues with HUGE parts on them.

Ironjaws Orruk Maw-Krusha

This is the first sprue.  As you can see, tonnes of detail on the scales.  Can’t wait to paint this!  The sprues are actually pretty big, although I realize it’s hard to tell scale from the photos I took.

Ironjaws Orruk Maw-Krusha

This is the back side of the same first sprue.

This is the second sprue, again with more big pieces.

And the back side of the second sprue.

This is the third smaller sprue in the box.

And the back side of it.

This is the huge base it comes with.  The paint of citadel paint is just shown for scale, and obviously did not come inside the box.

Ironjaws Orruk Maw-Krusha

Now this is the really interesting part.  I’m so used to seeing black and white instruction manuals from GW, but this one came in full color which I think is awesome.

The front of the manual shows the two options of building either Gordrakk, The Fist of Gork – or – Megaboss on Maw-Krusha.
Ironjaws Orruk Maw-Krusha

The instructions are actually full color inside as well, not just on the cover.

And on the last page they show the color scheme you can follow with the Citadel Paint Range if you want to paint it like in the pictures.

I didn’t take photos of every page in the instruction manual as I’m not sure if GW frowns on that, but the instruction manual is 20 pages long and includes the Warscrolls for Gordrakk, The Fist of Gork and Megaboss on Maw-Krusha.

What do you guys think of this model?

Start Collecting Greenskinz Starter Set Unboxing – Age of Sigmar

May 9, 2016 by Paul Leave a Comment

More than 10 years ago now, the very first tabletop miniature I ever painted was a Greenskin Moonclan Grot from an old Warhammer starter set my wife bought me.

I had no idea what I was doing, as far as painting goes, but I found it a lot of fun painting that little green Orks.

Shortly after that I moved onto starting a bunch of Warhammer 40k armies, but I always had an affinity for Orks for some reason.

Even when I got a starter set for Warhammer 40k which came with Space Marines and Orks, I found that I enjoyed painting the Orks more than the Space Marines.

After starting a few 40k armies, and then getting into other games I actually didn’t get back into Warhammer Fantasy until the new Age of Sigmar starter set came out.

And then when I saw that GW just recently released a whole bunch of new updates for Greenskinz, I decided it was time to jump back into painting some Greenskinz so I bought the new “Start Collecting Greenskinz” starter set for Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

The Start Collecting Greenskiz set comes with:

  • Orruk Warboss & Orruk Big Boss
  • 10 x Orruk Boyz
  • 5 x Orruk Boarboyz
  • 1 x Orruk Boar Chariot

Altogether that’s 18 miniatures, and here are some pictures of what’s inside the box:

As you can see there’s quite a few sprues that come in this set and the price you pay for this set is really good considering how many GW miniatures you get.

Here’s an unboxing video I shot as well:

I also picked up a few other Greenskinz boxes which I’ll do an unboxing of soon and then I’ll start building them all out. 🙂

Do you play Greenskinz?

What do you think of this set as a starting point for building a Greenskinz army?
