This one was ugly. 1750 pts.
Orks: 2 battelwagons each with boyz/nob (1 also with mad doc grotsnik), trukk with super-duper nob squad and warboss, 3 killa kans, and snikrot and his lads
marines: 3 tac. squads, 2 scout squads, 1 dreadnaught w/drop pod, libarian with terminators deepstrikingm 3 landspeeders.
capture and control, dawn of war deployement.
I deploy first. warboss and nob/trukk deployed in the middle of the table behind a big building; 20 boyz on table edge waiting for battlewagon to drive on. He deploys two scout squads 18" away from trukk nobs (why???).
He seizes initiative.
Turn 1
marines: snipers shoot at trukk to no avail. other marines walk on.
orks: kans walk on and run. battlewagon drives on 12" and boyz/grotsnik jump out and kill 1 sniper squad. trukk drives 12" and nobs/boss kill other squad. poor deployment choice for marine player.
Turn 2
marines: dreadnought arrives via drop pod right next to landraider/grotsnik mob. shoots at nob squad. most everything else shoots at nob/warobss. two nobs die.
orks: snikrot arrives...ouch. walks on behind tac. squad holding objective. 2-3 marines die from burnas and then 4 more in the ensuing assault. He fails LD and flees off the table edge. Kans drop a landspeeder. landraider rams dreadnought without effect.
Turn 3
marines: librarian and terminators fail to arrive. dreadnought wrecks 1 landraider. grotsnik and his boyz pile out--won't be good for dreadnought. skimmers and other shooting kill 2 more nobs. orks pass LD check.
orks: nob/boss squad and kommandos waagh and wipe another tac. squad in the assault phase. kans run. grotsnik and his boyz wreck dreadnought.
Turn 4
marines: librarians and terminators arrive. he drops them between kommandos and warboss/nobs (why?). termies kill 8 or so kommandos with shooting but they make their ld check.
orks: ork player offers rule change. if the marines change to chaos marines, they will get +2 to all rolls for the remainder of the game and be allowed to put 500 pts. back on the table. marine player declines offer.
orks slay termies, kans kill 3 marines in remaining tac. squad with grotzookas. Marine player concedes
lessons learned:
poor tactics with scout-snipers. i made similar mistakes with deff koptas in deployment in the past. it hurts.
i wanted a test of my battlewagon list and didn't get it. In this rout they did fine. I wonder though....
