Company command gets out of the vendetta to get in the vendetta. Vendettas move towards the middle to spread out coverage Chimeras move back and behind the hill in the middle for cover.

Mark's turn 1
Nothing since Mark reserved everything.

My turn 2
Alrahem's platoon does not arrive. I turbo the Vendettas to get cover and everything else either moves back to not get spotted by night fight or into cover.

Picture after my turn 2


Mark's turn 2
1 dread and 1 psyback arrive in the left corner while the land raider redeemers arrive in the middle moving 12 and smoking. Dread and psyback try and spot one of the Manticores to fire at but do not.

Picture after Mark's turn 2


My turn 3
Alrahem's platoon arrives on the left with Alrahem driving 6 up right next to the psyback and dread and the other 2 infantry chimeras in a line. Chimera in the middle move up to get slightly closer to land raiders. 2 left vendettas move 6 to target dread. Right Vendetta turbos over the trees to get in range. Middle infantry chimera spots the dread and shoots and search lights it. Left Vendettas shoot at the dread wrecking it. Alrahem's chimera spots and fires its multi laser at the psyback wiffing. Hydra fires at psyback but wiffs. Alrahem's squad meltas the psyback wrecking it. The first middle chimera tries to spot the left land raider but fails. The second one succeeds and spot lights it. Manticores fire at left Land Raider but fail to do anything between bad scatters and cover saves.

Picture after my turn 3


Mark's turn 3
2 psybacks and a dread arrive from reserves in the middle. Land Raiders move towards the left. Right land raider spots the vendetta that moved flat out and fires its assault cannon at it immobilizing it and it crashes since it moved flat out. Left land raider tries to spot the middle vendetta but fails. Dread also tries to spot the middle vendetta but fails.

Picture after Mark's turn 3


My turn 4
Alrahem's chimera moves to burn the acolytes that fell out of the psyback. Infantry Chimeras move up. vendettas move to target the dread. Company Command chimera and vet chimera in the middle both move 12 pop smoke and drop off the ccs and vet squad in melta range of both land raiders. Company command issues bring it down on the vet squad targeting the right land raider and they immobilize it. Company command issues bring it down on themselves targeting the right land raider and it explodes killing a few death cults as well as a melta gunner and the astropath from the company command squad. Alrahem's chimera burns the 3 acolytes with its heavy flamer. Both vendettas and the hydra shoot the venerable dreadnought blowing off an arm, immobilizing it and stunning it. Infantry chimeras shoot a psyback and wiff. Manticores fire at the right land raider but fail to do anything.

Final picture


Results
KP
Me: 11
Mark: 5
Victory for me with
+1 most expensive unit destroyed
+1 if you scored at least 6 kill points
I get 17 points

Mark is easy going and has some really awesome conversions. Like the Got Knights "Can a brother get a 6"

MVP: Vendettas for killing dreads and psybacks.
Oops it did nothing: The veteran squad on the left really didn't do much the auto cannon and their multi laser either wiffed or was ineffective.

Game Analysis
Should have loaded up a Veteran squad in a vendetta also to be able to destroy both land raiders but was moot as Mark full reserved. I was able to get in the first shots and make them count. Lucked out with Alrahem not arriving turn 2 so was able to arrive turn 3 to search light andmelta targets. Also got lucky on the venerable dread kills sometimes those things live a really long time like the last one to die.

Some other Game 1s



Daemon vs Rich






Andrew vs Marines


Brad vs Orks


Andrew vs Marines

nice first win.

I dont really see how that GK list could beat you.

dang those are nice conversions for the GK. I was wondering when orks are gonna start looting pyschic powers too. Now I know!

Nice write up!
I'm the Ork player vs the Ork / Genestealer player. Your picture was the big swirling cluster F of a combat. Where its my Warboss, Burnas, Sluggas fighting it out with Ard boys, and Sluggas.

Was your the game he pulled out the "Ra-ra-ra-rapid FIRE!!"
One note on the Hybrid / Ork army which won players choice. His in progress thread is on here. Its really a sweet army. He has boat loads of conversions, and the paint is really suttle in the detail. That night fight for 3 turns was rough for lots of armies.

Those armies look great. Looking forward to more batreps!
