BATTLE REPORT: Space Orks Vs. Dark Angels




Finally made it to Lito's Battle Bunker with Obi and Romy and yes the place is huge.. lots of tables to be able to put in. Lito actually rented the warehouse for him to move out his warhammer stuff from his house and place it there.

Of all the people that I had to fight though it had to be Obi again (dohh) well actually it was a toss up with Obi and Romy pointing to each other as to who to fight me :P.

The game was actually fast == well it was supposed to be fast except that I had a Virtual meeting during the game for at least 45 minutes which caused severe delays during it.

I had decided to field the followinng

  • Warboss (Eavy Armour slugga, choppa)
  • 3 Mega Armor Nobs w/ Trukk
  • 7 Burna Boys
  • 7 Tank Bustas
  • 20 Ork Boys w/ slugga choppa, Ork Nob with Banner and uge Choppa
  • 20 Ork Boys w/ slugga choppa, Ork Nob with PK
  • 10 Ork Boys w/ Shoota and Big Shoota w/ Trukk
  • 10 Gretchin w/ Slaver
  • BattleWagon 2 Big Shootas/ Deff Rolla
Obi Had
  • Chaplain
  • 10 man Assault Squad
  • 5 Scouts w/ Sniper and Missile Launcher
  • 2 Land Speeders with Heavy Bolters
  • 2 10 man Tactical Squads with Missile Launchers
Mission was an Annihilate and we had a Pitch Battle Set up. I had the Burna Boys borrow the truck of the Shoota Boys and the Warboss and one 20 man squad was in the Battlewagon (which too Late I realized was illegal since the Boss wouldnt have fit in)

The Burnas, BattleWagon and the other 20 man Ork boys squared off against the Chaplain, Assault Squad and Tac squad and the two Speeders on one side of the table while the Nobz, Gretchin and Tank Bustas where on the other side facing off the Tac Squad and Scouts.

Good Shooting on the part of Obi had my Trukk with the Nob immobilized on Turn 1 and the BattleWagon destroyed after it took a Missile on the front (stupid open top) by Turn 2. The Nobs decided to leg it up the mountain with their running eventually made it to the other side. They Skorchaed the scouts before they charged into the the 10 man Tac squad which they eventually ground down with only one nob left.

The Gretchin provided a screen to the 20 ork boys on foot before they went right and took pot shots at the tac squad there. They were largely ignored which suited me fine. The TankBustas managed to finally destroy the Land Speeders during the course of the game.

On the left. The Burnas jumped from their borrowed trukk side to start flaming the 10 man Tac squad but because I was having a teleconference I forgot to charge them into the 10 man squad. They eventually got rapid fired to death.

The Ork Warboss leading the 20 boys from the dead BattleWagon charged into the 10 man squad and butchered it only to be slaughtered in turn by the Chaplain with Assault Squad. They were in turn wiped out by the walking 20 ork boys as well.

The Ork shoota boyz took pot shots at the tac and assault squads while the other larger mobs where getting ready to charge in.

So score one win for the Orks due to sheer numbers. I guess with my Lost and the Damned Army Gone its Orks for my Horde army fix for now :)

Gotta get more games in
