Orks took on Nids in this dirty fight.
“The Octavius system massacre”
Nids
Orks
Pregame
Nids rolled higher and chose to go first.
Terrain and objectives:
4x4 map, objectives can be seen as small plastic Xs. The Nids rolled higher and got 3 objs, the Orks 2.
The Nids placed their 3 objs quite centrally in the middle of the map, one at a crater another at a hedgerow and the last behid an aegis line.
The Orks placed both of their in the ruins near their DZ.
Nids deployment and plan:
The Nids plan was to try and take and hold the 3 central objectives they had placed and perhaps ninja cap one of the Ork ones using the Ymargls or massed Termagants.
The Warriors and Tervigon were to provide synapse across the Nid lines.
They setup quite centrally and balanced ready to try and adapt to where the Orks might deploy.
The basic plan was to soften up the massed Ork units with shooting and then charge with the harder hitting Warriors.
The Ymargls chose the small ruin in the Ork on the right flank, hoping to pressure the Ork objs early.
Orks deployment and plan:
The Lootas deployed in yhe bunker on the left flank. This provided good cover and battlefield
LoS and they would try and nuetralise the Primes unit.
The Bikers delployed on the right flank to target the Tervigon and Terms.
The basic plan was to hold their two home objectives (the reliable Grots tasked with holding one) and then to swarm foward and take one or two of the others.
Their firepower was quite good so a shooting match was welcome Vs te Nids and with several scoring units the objectives could be taken more easily. The Shoota units and Warboss deployed centrally en masse.
The Orks failed to sieze and the game began.
Nid turn 1.
Movement:
The Tervigon spawned 12 Termagants starting the game off and then moved forward 6” with both Termagant squads accompanying it.
The Devilgants ran forward to the central crate for cover and to claim an obj early.
The Prime and his unit ran 9” to the hedgerow for cover, claiming another obj.
Both the Biovores and 2nd Warrior unit moved up also.

The Bikes stayed on the right flank moving 12” into the ruins where the Ymargls had hidden thmeslves and passing their
DT tests.
Shooting:
The first Loota unit opened up on the Primes unit causing one wound. The second unit could not see them so shot the Terms behind the aegis line instead. Causing 8 wounds the Terms chose to go to ground (forgot they were in Synapse range) and only lost one.
The Bikers then shot at the same unit causing 4 more casualties.
Nids turn 2.
Movement:
The Ymargls rolled for reserves and unluckily arrived, being instantly destroyed due to the presence of the Bikers in the ruins.
