This is the list! I've picked the list apart, I've chatted with friends, bloggers (thanks Dan!), and the ork forums. This is what I've come up with. It won't win any prizes (except maybe a pretty good looking prize hopefully), but it should be amazingly fun to play.
The light...it's so bright!
So join me on the great journey of building an army for tournament play (LVO, BAO, NOVA, Adepticon, Narrative)
As mentioned previously, this is an ork list, built around weirdboyz trying to summon Tuska back from the warp. After some play testing, I've found this is an awful awful way to use weirdboyz, and they peril 100% of the time. However...it is a hilarious and fun way to use them.
Originally I was going for a spam type army. Three of each unit, with a different clan paint scheme. Dan pointed out that this was rather weedy, and why not adjust the list so each clan had it's own unique units reflecting it's play style. This got me to thinking about things like the display board, how everything would be shown, working together (as John pointed out, how to tie them together).
I decided that there would be an inter-competition between the clans in this list. With each side trying to one up the others. This creates a fun little mini-game (which side kills the most this game), that results in a little marker on the eventual display board. Means even when I'm being blown off the table, at least one ork is going to be diving for a hail mary murder face to get that kill to put his klan ahead :).

The To-Do
TQuite a wildly diverse list. I'm aiming to have it done by Nova Open 2015. So almost a year to get it ready. I seriously doubt I can get it ready in time for LVO...and transporting it will be a massive issue. (So much easier to transport my black templars!). So for LVO, I'll bring the templars. Nova it will be this ork list. How am I going to go about doing this?
Organization!!! Special thanks goes out to Admiral Dax, and The Lost and the Damned for this organizational template. To say I have a lot of work is an understatement :). I'm going to start testing color schemes and techniques as soon as possible, and have already started building the three mek's.
Bonus! Shantz did another tales of the dice 40k comic!
Any ideas, suggestions, etc, are very much appreciated. Thanks as always for stopping by and visiting!
