PRE-GAME
Mission: Annihilation
Deployment: Pitched Battle
1st Turn: Tyranids



After seeing the Tyranids spread their army across the table in their deployment I decided that my best strategic move was to deploy everything on the right corner where I could camp my SAG Big Mek in the bunker, and hide my shootas behind the trukks protected by the KFF Big Mek in the middle truck giving everything there a cover save.

This would also force the Tyranids to move everything sideways and puts the great majority of their units out of range allowing me to deal with a few at a time.







I aimed the SAG at the God Fex in the rear hoping i'd roll double 6s and be done with him and that flyrant next to him all in one shot. Alas my luck was not so good and I hit with S3. I shifted my trukks to the right to prepare for the incoming winged tyrant and tyrant + guard and unloaded the big shootas on the guard causing 1 wound.







The tyranids moved as I predicted with the winged tyrant and tyrant + guard leading the pack. The Tyrant attempts to venom cannon my Big Mek's trukk but the force field renders the attack useless. I then move all my trukks full speed ahead forming a blockade and disembarking all my Nobz who proceed to assault both tyrants and the nearby Zoanthrope. 2 easy kill points





In shock after losing his hive tyrant with such ease and having received a Lictor from reserves the Tyranids opt to launch a massive counterassault. Targetting the zoanthrope killing Nobz with genestealers, the Lictor joined up with the Tyrant and his last guard to bolster the defense against the Nobz, and finally his God fex and Hormagants charged into combat with the Winged Tyrant killing Nobz.

Much to his surprise al his units lost combat severely the genestealers did really poorly against the Nobz getting wiped out with ease. The tyrant + lictor convo proved formidable but was defeated nonetheless. And lastly the hormagants did very little in terms of damage and took many wounds in return, while the carnifex manged to slaughter a nob or two, it was smacked around by a few PKs and lost some wounds though not enough to kill him, but suffered some no retreat saves and the hormagants having lost the lead Tyrant were forced to fall back towards their nearest synapse creature.











Having crushed the Tyranid counter attack put the Nobz in a great position to wipe out all remaining threats. And so the Nobz and Boyz charged forward. The shoota boyz unloaded a massive volley on the retreating Hormagants wiping them out and the Nobz took the battle to the nearby Warriors and to the stubborn carnifex that refused to die last turn. A very successful 3rd turn for the Orks as they earned yet another 3 kill points without losing any for a total of 9 kill points.

Winged Tyrant
Zoanthrope
Genestealers
Tyrant
Guard
Lictor
Hormagants
Warriors
Carnifex

All beaten to a bloody mess.

My opponent wisely resigned at the conclusion of turn 3 with great dismay after being completely overtaken by my WAAGH!



WINNERS: DA ORKS! 9 to 0.



NOTE: if you'd like to make your own 'caption' of the final pic feel free, i tried to think of something funny but didn't really have any good ideas, so edit it and re-post it in this thread if you have a good one.

"Wake me up when its over *yawn"

Good Report , the Nid seems nicely painted too :<

yeah,
Good battle report.
The nid's do look well painted, and I'd hate to have spent all that time painting to end up losing to a grey hoard...

Q: Are you ever going to paint your orks? I've sen them in a few battle reports for a while now and they don't seem to have progresed?

Panic...

Thanks for posting the report.
Thats a tough loss for the nids player to take. When orks get up in your grill it's so hard to deal with.

Great battle report as always. Paint up those orks pl0x!
As for the final picture
"Do you think he'll notice if we punch him in the head?"

Nice battle plan, I'm impressed that you gave him no kill points.

nob shenanigans are always hard to overcome! lol great report

Nice report. I like how you explain in the notes and reinforce the story with all those pics with notes on them.

Like the batrep a lot.
Not so hot on the army.
Annihilation played right into your composition.

Any batreps on objective missions, where you'll be hobbled?

Why don't you click my name and search my threads? there's plenty battle reports posted where i play objectives without getting hobbled.

I never said I play the same list twice, I simply said i have played plenty other games using objectives without being 'hobbled' as you say. I"m not quite so easy to hobble. Regardless of what list i'm using.

Hell i can even win with a Tyranid army composed mainly of ripper swarms with no other troop choice, in an objective game!

All it takes is sound tactics and a lot of luck lol.

I tend to randomize what list i play i have tons of them.

Great report, love that list you used.
I do wish that SAG did more. Thanks
