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

BATTLE REPORT: Crimson Fists versus IG

Finally I got my first game in Fifth Edition against Freddie and his IG. I elected to again use my Crimson Fists as a base unit and then put in fodder troops for it from WH and DH lists


Because we might get pressed for time I decided we just do a 1000 point list since I still dont know much of 5th edition but the best way was to just dive in and correct oneself as we go along.

Librarian Hernandez
Tactical Squad A ( 10 man Flamer, ML )
Tactical Squad B ( split in 2 Combat Squads , Plasma , ML )
Storm Trooper A ( 9 man . 2x plasma)
Storm Trooper B ( 8 man , 2x melta)
Zealots ( 20 man with demagogue and fanatic with eviserator, 2 flamer)
Vindicator Whirlwind


The scheduled game at ATC was moved to Freddie's home because we did not have permits to play during that time (we forgot to make a request) so oh well. At least there were German Sausages :D

We had a 4x4 table with 4 take and control objectives and a Table Quarter deployment.

Freddie has his 7th IG unit with a large number of infantry with Rough Riders and a Basilisk


The point of dire things to come happened when I tried to teleport with my Librarian and unit of Stormtroopers and manage to cause a wound to myself.. Well oops. Shooting from my Vindicator was short and the Whirlwind shooting I got suprised by the fact that without LOS you dont substract the BS from the shot and roll 2d6 - wow thats Fantasy scatter all right. Was able to cause a couple of good shots from the Vindicator and Whirlwind but they eventually get vaped by the Basilisk.


I did manage to hose down the Rough Riders that were coming up on one flank unfortunately the same Tact squad couldnt even cause a wound on the conscripts that had jumped my flagellants that had already been hit repeatedly with las gun fire.

The 5 man tac squad that I had holding up the rear were suprised to see a large IG vet squad outflanking them from behind and got vaped with melta and plasma

That same Veteran Squad reduced the already depleted 10 Man Tac Squad to 2 Marines and forced it to flee at the last turn.

The 10 man squad was too static. It was already with LOS of the Basilisk but I refused to move it and kept shooting at the Guard units in front of it. I should have at least taken a pot shot at the Basilisk. Or at least get out of LOS and shoot at the rear Vet squad.

I had my Librarian attempt a risky teleport at the basilisk with the storm troopers but I was too close and got lost in the warp. I then ended up back on the same objective I had planned to go to in the first place. They finally reach one of the objective markers and shoo off an IG squad but it was all too little too late as Freddie had 2 objectives with 2 contested.

Pictures of the objective markers at the end of the game:
