Hey all here is a tale of lots o death.

andrew had his seer council army
marc (me) running the orks

He gets first turn which was huge for him. The tables really dont offer much hiding room so he was in range of my lootas and big shootas on turn one. If I go first he loses 7 or 8 warlocks and maybe even a chance to instant death the farseer.
But he rolls up and shoots alittle with his 2 10 man jet bike units. a couple orks die.

my turn one I shoot and kill 7 or 8 bikes from a guardian squad.

his turn 2 he shoots and kills some more orks in the screen and then charges in with both seer councils. I lose a crap load of orks.
my 2 I shoot and kill some jet bikes. hth I lose more orks and kill a couple warlocks.


The game stays like that till the end basicly. He runs the remnants of the 2 jet bike squads behind some trees. HTH continues where he is killing lots of orks and Im whittling the warlocks down. finally wipe out one seer council and start working on the other.

His top of 5 he moves out 3 jet bikes to sit on a objective so he would have one. Luckilly for me the HTH was on top of one so that puts us at a tie. On my turn 5 my 26 lootas shoot and kill those three bikes. In the HTH I finally kill the last farseer so he is down to two warlocks that are a little off the objective but my boys are still close enough to claim it. So I have one objective and he has none.

At that point andrew concedes since it is basicly unwinable for him.

The game ens with him having 2 jet bikes behind the trees hiding, that if they tried to get the objective they would get blasted.
He also had 2 warlocks in HTH left with both my HQ's and half a squad of orks , with fortune gone they were toast.

All in all a very fun game, andrew was a gentelman the whole game we only had one real rules question that we looked up about wounds given after HTH were I was right and Andrew was glad I was right since his way he said made it seem really bad for independent characters.

we had a good game, glady do it anytime

Only needing 1 guy to claim is really huge.

Thanks for the rundown . I am sure many people were curious how it would go, although personally I figured stelek would be much different in person, much like mauleed (and really anyone you know via interent and meet in person).

Care to give a rundown on your GT? Curious about what you ran and who you faced.

EDIT. Where's my manners.. Congrats on another overall.

It was good fun. I'm glad I didn't bring any destructor locks. I suspect I know who was emailing me you were bringing Orks was one of my anti-fans, but whatever.

I'm glad you didn't get that 3rd squad of boyz into the scrum on 3. If you had, I think that would have been a potential game loser.

After ten years of no new Codex, I'm glad Orks got to take a GT. I'm also glad that it wasn't a crappy 4th edition army that won, but one built with 5th edition in mind and done well. Kudos on a well built AND well played list. Few players had 5th edition lists there, sadly.

I have been working on the the orks since the book came out, it has gone through alot of growth and changes and it really paid off, oh well on to a new list.

Marc what was your winning ork list?
