When billboards attack! |
The Ultramarines deploy. |
I had 3 Tactical Squads (10 troop each), 4 man Terminator Squad, A Librarian in Terminator armor, Legion of the Damned, Land Raider, and a Whirlwind for 1500pts :
Since this was a training game, I wanted us both to have fun. Understand that although he hasn't played in years, Bink is a shrewd tactician, so there was no "going light" taking place, but rather try to show him as many scenarios as I could for his orks to get involved with. Most of what follows will be highlights:
Turn one. The Orks run to and claim the 1st objective! |
Both sides advance... |
The Landraider and Whirlwind begin to whittledown the Ard Boyz. |
Ouch! |
This was a 10-man squad but after a resounding hit by a Shokk attack gun, etc, this squad was reduced to just three guys!
The Deff Dreds approach! |
And from the mists, the Legion of the Damned appear! |
Eventually my Terminators arrived and to have the shot up squad on the far left, and drive back the slugga bloys, only the Librarian gave himself a wound thanks to a Perils of the Warp result on double 1's. The nob bikers (only one of which did I manage to kill) came careening around the field to finish off the remaining member of tactical squad.
Can you spot the painted Legionnaires amongst all that metal? |
"Super run away!" |
The Terminators and Librarian shoot at the slugga boyz. With concentrated fire and a reduction of their numbers, the slugga boyz made a run for it! Almost off of the board!
Saved by the boys in blue! |
The deff dread takes taunts the survivors on the roof... |
The game ended, and, with all his troops choices in route, or dead I thought I might just...oh. I forgot that that BigMek allowed the Deff Dreds to be taken as a troops choice, and he was just within the 3 inches of the objective! The Orks WIN!!!
Orks: Objective: 5pts total: 3pts, 1st blood, and Line Breaker.
Utlramarines: 0pts
We had a blast, with Bink getting a good grasp of the 6th edition rules, I think he's hungry for more! A few more training games he'll be able to take down cheesy crap like Blood Angels! He was damn near surgical with the shokk attakk gun and the kannons! I have never used 'Ard Boyz before, and Bink showed me the error of my ways!
Meanwhile, on the other tables:
Murl and Screech in a fight between chaos and Space Wolves. Both claim that is was close game and very fun! Glad to hear. I forget who who though...
Screech, walls of dice won't save your rhinos! |
This looks like a nasty skirmish..... |
Da Masta Cheef, Hiveangel and a new guy.
Hive Angel's Blood Angels (some of whom now have heads, which is a paradigm shift that I am having a hard time adjusting too...) vs, an allied force of Tau and Eldar.
The "hide everything" deployment method. |
Maybe some one else can fill in what's going on here....
...and here...
Proxy Mephiston lacks the vampire mullet...:( |
I think the Blood Angels won...

lol, sure I'll fill those captions in. Basically the tau were rolling so many 1's & 2's that even he said he had no idea what the new codex was like as nothing could hit, wound, save, or even arrive!
While the greater good took the initial brunt of the damage, he was rolling so bad that it was almost akin to my 1500 points vs. 3k, being a mainly fluffy list (though it works vs. you oddly), the results were quite predictable. We shall choose better allies next time!
In the end, I was tabled while some of the blue skins apparently managed to flee the field.
1's and 2's indeed. It was awful to witness. It was cool, but it was a complete blood bath.
Blood for the blood god, fluff blood for the fluff god
"Fluff blood?"
LOL
Dunno why the Blood Angels would be "eew" about blood baths, I would've thought that they probably do it recreationally...;)
