Battle Report: Splinter Fleet Hades vs. Orks (Part 2)

Hovering quietly near the noxious atmosphere of Epison Octarius, a lone Rok traversed the skies. As it streaked a trail of smoke and debris, a flaw in the arced tail of clutter materialized. Aboard, mighty Ork leader, Warboss Grr-Gaz sparred in agitation with his Nobz. The animalistic fury coupled with the raving, unbound rage of the Warboss rapidly overcame the formidable resistance by the Ork Nobz. Amid the chaos and barbarism, the rickety spacecraft took enormous collateral damage, which impaired the thrustaz and altered the flight path straight towards the surface. Chunks of scrap flew off as the Rok hurtled at a breakneck pace, when suddenly, BOOM! A bone-jarring impact of the jalopy annihilated and scattered its remains into miniscule pieces, along with carving a crater 2 km wide in the surrounding terrain. After recovering from the planet fall, Warboss Grr-Gaz rose from the ruin streaked landing site, and noticed that the place was piled high with the carcasses of Space Marines and burning Tyranids.
"Wot iz dis?!" Grr-Gaz questioned. "Luks like da puny humies iz dead." The Big Mek, another survivor of the crash, appeared at the side of his commander, and retaliated, "I kan see dat, ya little Squig." Grr-Gaz punched the Big Mek in the face, in no mood to tolerate the impudence of the creature. 'Dis planet is good for a WAAGH!' he thought to himself. "Letz go boyz! It's time for Fightin!" yelled the Warboss, battle-ready from the copious hormones surging through his feral circulatory system.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This fight was a fun one, I deployed first, and I took the side with a building and some hills. I put one squad of my Loota boyz in the building and one on the hill. I put my Big Mek in the between the building and hill, out in the open. I also put my 1st squad of boyz on the left side of the building, shielded from fire, and put my 2nd boyz squad behind the forest, so that in later turns I could gain cover saves. My Boss and his Mega Nobz retinue went into a trukk which hid against the side of a building. Puddles_the_'Fex then put his 5 genestealers and Brood Lord on the other side of the building where my MANs and Boss were.

Turn 1:
We rolled for turns, and I got first! I ran my boyz full distance, then moved my Trukk 12 inches, and unloaded the Mega Nobz and Boss from inside. I shot at his Broodlord squad and killed the meat shield completely, while the Brood Lord remained undamaged. I also took a wound off of the carnifex. I charged his Broodlord with my Mega Nobz and Boss. After the combat was resolved, I lost 2 Mega Nobz, but my 3 other Mega Nobz smashed the Broodlord to pieces.

During his turn, he moved his guys up and tried to shoot at me. He missed a lot of his shots (apparently he also had some Orks on his side lol).

Turn 2:
I blazed forward 6 inches with my squads of boyz and embarked my Mega Nobz and Boss into their Trukk. They took off to some cover. After all my moving I declared WAAGH! This was the smartest move I made, as I got closer to his unit of Warriors and his gaunts. During shooting, I put a couple of wounds on his Carnifex, the monstrous creature now only having 1 wound remaining. The Tyrant also had 1 wound remaining. In assault, I killed most of his warriors and a lot of Gaunts making sure I would remain in combat next turn.

He moved his guys up, and shot at me, killing my Loota boyz on hill. Hey they're only Orkz, they're supposed to die. During assault, the slaughter continued, and he lost most of his nids.

Turn 3:
Most of my units were in combat, so I shot and killed one of his carnifex, my Big Mek
died from a melt down from his shokk attack gun. That was sad. I finished off his units and then pilled into his Carnifex and my Boyz stayed in combat there, and my other squad of boyz killed his Gaunts and went into the other Squad of warriors. Lost a couple of boyz in combat, but it was no big deal.

As Puddles_the_'Fex lamented over his dead tyranids, he tried to pull a draw, by shooting at some of my boyz. He was partially successful, killing a couple of Lootas. During his assault phase, we both took a couple of wounds, the assault being indecisive; it was a giant stand still in the middle of the board.

Around this time, due to time restraints, we had to leave and so we called it a game. After a victory point tally, the Orks had 712 VP's and the Tyranids had 558 VP's. A solid victory for the Orks by 154 victory points.

First Battle Report Victory goes to DA WAAGH!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Boyz swarmed over the wreckage of battle, slowly overtaking the Tyranids. Each Ork that was felled merged with the ground as 10 others clambered over him, eager to fight. Warboss Grr-Gazz was happy, with the head of the Broodlord on his pole. Now the planet Epison Octarius was in the hands of the Orks and the WAAGH! This was a good day to be an Ork. Up on top of the highest peak Warboss Grr-Gazz stood and looked on, and saw an army of his own to conquer. "Dis is a good place for my WAAGH! We git more boyz and more gunz!"

Thanks again
DA WAAGH!
