ORKS 9 : Purifers 3

ORK VICTORY

Overall I stuck to my plan and did what I had to do. It was annyoing for him but this game was about winning.

His mistake was to flame my boys instead of the lootas which would saved him alot of lives.

I went for the Orks because I hate Purifier Spam lists, Crowe is so annoying but such a cool model!

Plus, I haven't seen anyone play with orks in ages, and I want to see them win!

I went with the Purifier spam as i'm an avid Grey Knight fan but i can see the orks winning if they play right.

I played a horde list against purifiers before....I still have nightmares.

15 dead from the initial cleansing flame
another 10-ish from the preceding combat and the rest were run down.

It was so sad :(

are the boys with shootas or choppas out of curiousity? I could see possibly shooting the grey knights to death from 18 inches away if their shootas but with choppas, not looking as good.

Shootas I got both armies personally so I know their weakness so I plan to shoot them to death

Because of multiple shoots and the cheaty power of the Purif, Orks can only win with a lot of luck or some big mistake from GK player.
But if you want to post the report maybe it is because you made a miracle

The ASCII art, while retro, is a bit tough to understand. I would use a program like Vassal to make your maps if you do not have photos.

That may have been the worst use of a dreadknight I have ever seen. He might as well have started with 200 less points. Did he fire his Heavy Psilencer as well at least (it is a MC).

Yes he did, Overall I never expected him to win because i am trying to prove to people that a good general with an ok army is still better than an ok general with a good army.

I didnt know Big Mek has got 3 wounds....

And seriously if that kind of purifier spam list get 25 consecutive wins, I don't know what kind of opponents he play.
A simple tweak to mech up all his purifiers would hav made his list so much better, and roll over you.

I'd echo what Calypso said in relation to using a program to demonstrate terrain, army setup and movement.
Even a basic paint doc with squares and arrows would help give an overview of the battlefield and what is going on.

Gratz on the win.

I know that is why I used my list to beat him because I knew he did not have the best list and I could easily beat him and to prove to everyone that its not unbeatable.

But you cheated him on the Big Mek combat.

Doesn't change the fact that you cheated. I never feel good about a victory if I cheated even accidentally.

Seriously?

It would have made no difference in the game at all since, it was drawn combat witht he dreadnight all game and for the rest of the game that unit just hide and did nothing.

Also for the whole game 2 of my units did nothing because i did not need them, if it was a close game then I would then tell him and have a rematch and call this a tie but it was not even close.

Why not call him and ask for a rematch anyway? If he is locally a good player/big deal it would be great practice against a skilled opponent.

Not any time soon, i am in uni now.
