Stupid stupid scenario.

Orks vs DH.

Orks had:

Wazzdakka
Warboss on bike w/Klaw.
2 warbiker units (5 each?)
4 Ork units with rokkits and pklaw nobs.
1 loota unit.
1 tankbusta squad.
1 looted wagon.
1 wagon w/killkannon.

Here's his setup:

I started everything off the board. Oops. Guess we're supposed to stay on the board and "hide" 1 HQ and 2 troops. Ah well, they'd have just sat in a corner behind a LR anyway, so no big loss.



Here's his first turn move:



Here is mine:



Yes that's right, I technically can't move my raiders on without moving them sideways. Duh.

I tank shocked Wazdakka, Warboss, and their Warboss squad.



That's Edwin (just watching, not playing) laughing as they roll an 11 and run away.

Someone forgot they had a bosspole (not just me). That was a costly mistake.

What was left of the central ork squad that ran forward. Some people don't understand the concept of goalpost cover saves and think the whole terrain piece gives saves. They even have a pic in the rulebook but it's confuzerizing. Anyway they got decimated. Don't run Orks towards GK LRC...



The Orks tried to "hide" in the cover. I knew what was coming, and you know it too.

Ok 9 dead from flamers.

"Don't I get a cover save?"

:S



I moved this unit up on the right side and got it out of it's transport. Why? So I could keep the Wazzdakka, Warboss and Warbiker unit broken.



The Orks killed that unit, and I killed them. An eerie silence descends.



I killed the Orks in the center too. They broke, used their bosspole, and ran. I didn't have the heart to tell my opponent that bosspoles require you to take saves (i.e. kill an Ork, slick).



The other side of the battle. Don't ask me what that Ork Bike Launcher is doing on the table. There were two of them, but I zapped one with a Multimelta. AP1 + open topped = dead. There WAS a line of trees there, but my opponent liked moving the trees around....somehow that tank got a 4+ cover save from the trees...that aren't there....yeah. That's why you don't move trees. Grats!



Ork Rokkits are epic fail against land Raiders. Never got a glance the whole game. Oh the squad above moved towards the center (cover saves require rolling dice, see) and I obliged them with destruction.



Ork nobs got a hit and a pen every time they charged, but only got 2 weapon destroyed results. Then they were deads.

I swarm the last line of defense, the lootas, with a retinue of 3 flamers + incinerator and poof go the Orks. I think I got 13 wounds with the hits from the side.

The multimeltas zapped the last ork tank dead, and it was a 24 point massacre. My opponent cunningly scored a point by "killing" all my fast attack which I did not have any of. Scenario fail.

ROFL

Just the pictures of this alone remind me of people who intentionally swerve to run over snakes in the midday heat. Crunch.

Doesnt your army have to be painted for ard boyz? you do for most tourneys?dont you?

not for ard boyz

Stelek, congratulations! Poor Orks. I need more Land Raiders.

LOL. Funny as hell.

I feel bad for the Ork kid, but that's why you don't jump intothe deep end of the pool :(.
