A small band of Iron Warriors had heard news that a Ork Waaagh! had rampaged against Ultramarines and scored victory. Being the vultures that they are, the Iron Warriors scouted out the battle field from the previous battle bewteen Green Skins and Loyalists for disgarded weaponary and armour. They would be surely disappointed!

Daemon Prince Ferrus may have the name of the Iron Hands Primarch, but he was no loyalist and lead his Iron Warriors with a passion for the chaos gods.

Ferrus could see across the field by a ruin several Orks along with a dodgy looking trukk. They were salvaging anything they could, anything loyalist or of their own making. He spread his huge daemonic wings gifted to him from the chaos gods and took to the skies, blotting out the sun.

Ferrus landed in front of the Orks as they returned to their trukks with fresh loot with a crash into the ground. The Orks smilies a toothy grin and they fired with there crude weaponary. Using arcane majiks blessed to him by the God of Change, Ferrus dodged the shots, not that many were on target! Ferrus raised his hand to cease, he meant to harm to these warlike race, not yet anyway.

"Here me green skins, I come to trade with you" boomed his deep daemonic voice.

A larger Green Skin stepped forward, it had a missing eye and branded a huge crude axe stained with blood.

"Aye, what do yous wantz?" it blurted out.

"I want weaponary, Marine weaponary to be exact"

"Uhmmmm I'II seez what da big boss says, you wait 'ere and we'll be back"

Ferrus wasn't fond of taking commands from xeno scum, but he needed fresh weaponary as resources were running thin. Soon enough, the big boss appeared and this Ork was big.

"I''m da big boss 'ere" the Ork shouted "What do you wantz spikey boy?"

"Weaponary. Marine weapionary"

"Uhmmm we have some Marine boy shootas, but da crap. But we want some wagonz"

"I have no transport to give to you Ork, though I'm sure I can accquire some"

"I want dem wagonz now! Only other fink I want is a big fight!

The Ork boss charged Ferrus, its huge power klaw snapping wildly and its cyborg eye flashing a bright red. Ferrus grabbed the Ork and threw the boss into the herd of Orks before spreading his wings and retreating back to his fall forces

Round 1

Chaos rolled to go first. All IW's moved forward in a rhino rush, with the DP taking cover behind the chaos icon squad's rhino. The two defilers moved forward 6" and fired both their battle cannons at the lootas, after saves only 1 loota and the big mek was left! The predator fired all lascannons at the battle wagon, after hits it failed to score a penetrating hit.

The single loota and BM took a leadership test and managed to pass. All Orks moved forward, except BS2 which was kept in reserve. BS1 and the rokkit boyz did use the run move instead of shooting. The ork bikers supported the battle wagon, and were ready to tackle any IW's once they bailed out the rhinos. The BM fired the shokk attack gun at the DP, but it scattered and missed, the single loota managed to score one hit and one wound on the DP.

Round 2

All rhinos moved 6" and all IW's disembarked. One meltagun squad's rhino had entered a ruin, which they disembarked, while the supporting other meltagun squad disembarked by a line of barbed wire. The chaos icon squad disembarked waiting for the oncoming ard boyz, and the final meltagun squad disembarked from their rhino near BS1. The two defilers targetted the rokkit boyz and open fired, plenty of wounds were scored, however as the boyz were in cover only a total of 7 was lost. The predator fires at the battle wagon, this time scoring a crew shaken result.

The DP is just about in assault range of the rokkit boyz, it charges and also passes a psychic test to use warp time psychic power. After combat and re-rolls by the Prince, the rokkit squad take 5 wounds and the Prince none. The boyz fail thei leadership test and loose for sweeping advance are are destroyed!

The orks decide to take venegance this round with the Boss & Nobz bailing from the battle wagon, and the ard boyz dropping out the trukk. The boss and Nobz fire on the meltagun IW's within the ruin, but they only score one wound. The 'ard boyz fire on the chaos icon marines and fail to score any wounds. BS1 fire's at the IW meltasquad closed to them and score two wounds with mass fire power. The bikers use the twin linked power of the dakkaguns to score plenty of wounds on the IW's taking cover behind the wall of barbed wire, but only score one wound after saves. The loota fires on the prince and misses, the shokk attack gun is fired at the prince, it scatters and lands into BS1 and kills seven after rollnig for strength seven! lol. BS2 also make the reserve roll and come into play, they open fire on the prince but score no wounds after saves!

In assault the boss & nobz charge in against the marines within the ruins, after the dust had settled one nob had lost a wound and the entire squad of iron warriors had been destroyed! The bikers charged the IW's behind the barbed wire, but would strike last due to them being in cover, the nob took one wound and two bikers were killed, two IW's were also lost but the bikers stayed in combat. BS1 charged the IW's they had fired on and managed to kill several, but also took wounds themselves. The ard boyz battle the chaos icon marines, after attacks the marines take four wounds and the ard boyz six, the ard boyz fail the morale test and are destroyed by sweeping advance.

The Big Mek smilied as he warmed up his shokk attack gun. He watched a a giant beast with a weapon which would make any warboss proud throw orks all over the place. The Mek targetted the beast and fired, however his shot didn't land on target and warp crazed snotling appeared through a portal, ripping his own kind to pieces! The Mek chuckled, his own weapon was working, doesn't matter who against

Round 3

Defiler 2 fires at the shoota boyz which just come on the table and manages to blow seven of them to pieces. Defiler 1 uses its heavy flamer and torches the boss and nobz, the nob with one wound is removed from play and another two nobz take a wound each.

In assault the chaos icon squad charge the bikers and score two wounds, but remaing locked in combat. The bikers had spilt the attacks so they also fought the other IW's, which they had defeated in combat and the IW's fell back 7" (something funny in this game about the number 7!) . The defiler charges into combat, it only receives a crew stunned result at best from the nobz striking first, using its extra ccw and dreadnought strength weapons the defiler tears the nobz and painboy to pieces, leaving only two nobz left. Though the boss soon takes out the defiler with easy scoring a 5 on the vehicle chart and a destroyed result. The DP charges BS1, scored seven wounds and destroys them by sweeping advance after taking no wounds itself.

The BM targets the three remaining IW's which battled against BS1 in the earlier rounds, the shokk attack gun lands on target and rolls seven again for strength and kills all three. BS2 fires on the daemon prince and score two wounds, leaving the prince down to one wound.

In assault the boss and remaining nobz join the bikers in combat against the IW's with the chaos icon, chaos spilt the attacks killing one biker and one nob. The bikers fight first out of the orks, in which the IW's are reduced to three and they manage to fall back successfully. The last remaining big shoota boyz charge the daemon prince, the prince slays five but utlimately suffers two wounds from the nob and only saves one and it removed from the table.

Round 4

The last defiler uses the run move to hopefully provide support for the remaining iron warriors, but only moves a total of 7" and is too far from combat. The IW's which fell back pass a test to regroup and open fire on the bikers, but fail to hit with the remaining meltas and score a wound with the last botl pistol frmo the champion. The other IW's which fell back to the defiler in the previous round move within 12" of the boss and open fire, along with all rhinos within the area, they manage to reduce the boss down to two wounds with combined fire power.

The last bikers fire on the three melta IW's and kill all three. The boss fires on the IW's which had open fired on it, but misses, it then charges into combat and after results the boss is finally slayed.

Chaos units remaining (not including dedicated transport) : 2
Orks units remaining (not included dedicated transport) : 2

Winner : DRAW

This is the worst beating ever the orks have taken, chaos nearly had the game as well at various points. Finally as well the boss and nobz were stopped! They always survive the game usually some how!

Ferrus had taken mass wounds which even the powers of the warp could heal, wisely he spread his huge wings and fled from the field. When the dust had settled one of the great daemon machines had been destroyed, but the warboss' head was in the hand of a Iron Warrior. It appears there would ba trade at no cost to the Iron Warriors as the remaining Orks fled the scene
