Deffwing or Deathwing?

[Forrestfire]

Hi all. I'm planning on starting a Deathwing-style (all termies) army and I can't decide whether to kitbash AoBR terminators and nobs to make an all-meganobs army, or to get normal terminators and paint them up as deathwing.

What is your opinion; mainly, if you had a choice of seeing a well-painted army of either of these, which would you prefer?
:D

[Triple Threat]

Deffwing!!! That would be such a great idea. I think you could make some great fluff background for them. I guess you would still use the terminator rules, but with orks instead, right? When in doubt, go with WAAAAH!

[Siquid]

deffwing!!!!!! dude! love it! It would be sweeet especially if you play up the death wing parody

[Mizzrym]

agreed, Deffwing is an awesome idea

[ThePov]

Deffwing would rock so hard! It'd be hilarious, and there actually is precedence for Ork warbands copying the equipment and tactis of other races to the best of their ability, so I'm all in favor of it. A lot more interesting than just another Deathwing army, no matter how well painted.

I'll throw my hat in for the Deffwing! I would absolutely love to go up against a "Deffwing" army. Do this! and keep a blog about your conversions, I'd love to follow it!

[StrikerFox]

yes, and i would have to agree too... deffwing... XD

[Lindargo]

As others have said, Deffwing sounds awesome.
Maybe you could make a character using Belial's rules. Big-Liar or something. BIG LIAH :)
Lindargo,

I think it's unanimous for Deffwing!

[jclegg]

Gotta be Deffwing... Unless you really, really, REALLY enjoy painting bleached bone!

[Whitehorn]

You could delve into the theme and have 'forest grotz' pilot the terminator suits. That'd justify all the feathers :)

[Forrestfire]

Thanks for your opinions. I think I will go with Deffwing.

I have a couple ideas for the company standard, and I'm trying to decide which to use when I make the army (I'm saving up):


A normal Dark Angels banner (like on Azrael (http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1240850_99060101324_DAAzraelmain_873x627.jpg)) with a generic ork skull emblem in the face.
A Dark Angels angel (like in the other idea) being stepped on by an ork.


If you think you have better ideas, let me know! :D

[Whitehorn]

Since they're trying to imitate Dark Angels, surely stomping on them isn't the best way to show it?

[Lord Inquisitor]

That is one of the most original ideas I've heard. Getting around how bad they are might be tough but great idea though!

[Warfare]

That is one of the most original ideas I've heard. Getting around how bad they are might be tough but great idea though!
what, besides the fact that it has already been done multiple times already?

[AoM]

I sold some landraiders back in '06 to a guy who was making an Orkwing army. It's always a fun idea, and you get a lot more freedom than traditional Deathwing.

[Alfonzo]

I have this itch to make a counts-as Blood Angels ork army call the Blud Angles. Mostly to field the Deff Krumpany. Probably a bunch of stormboyz who painted themselves black.

[Deadman42]

I think that for a great Deffwing army, You would need: 2 mega-armoured warbosses, 2 full squads of Meganobz as troops (battlewagon transports if you deem appropriate), 9 Killa Kans (or 3 Deffdreads) and then fill up the rest with more Meganobz in your elites.

[Forrestfire]

Deadman; I think you misenterpreted my idea. I'll be using the rules for Dark Angels Deathwing terminators, but using orky models.
