K. So it's been a while since I've logged in this forum, but this time (since I just fought against SM 5 mins ago) I wanted to post my battle report here...
2 notes before though.

1st. It was my 1st time playing against SM and it was the guys 1st time playing WH40k
2nd. The field was a few inches smaller then usual since we had a really crammed up room :( (EDIT: just measured... it was actually... 72* 42)

So it was a 1000 ptz game (well he had 1013 ptz, but it was after I recalculated his ptz...)

Roll for turn - I win and decide to go first

Turn 1
My move.
Boyz move closer.
So my boomgun together with warphead's frazzle successfully takes down a tactical squad of marines.
My shokk attack gun takes down a terminator and my tankbustas fullfill their duty by killing a lone dreadnought.
Lootas fail me for the first time by not killing a single SM.


SM move.
Dreadnought moves closer as Rhino disembarks it's passengers.
Scout squad shoots at my tankbustas. With the friendly help of terminators fire they die...
Rhino shoots at my boyz and fails while tactical decide to try destroying my looted wagon with a rocket launcher which by being ORKY only gets vehicle immobilized.


Turn 2
My move.
Boyz move even closer
Boomgun takes down 3 SM from the tactical squad and Sh.At.Gun takes down a Dreadnought (I was actually aiming for the terminators, but you can't argue with the scatter dice can ya?).
My lootas fail again while my nob bikers roll on closer and sadly doesn't score any dead SM
My frazzle scatters far away.

SM move.
Terminators concentrate their fire on Nob bikers.
Rhino takes down 1 unlucky boy.
Snipers take down 3 boyz.

Turn 3
My move.
So Sh.At.Gun takes down another terminator. Nob bikers... well they decide to join Lootas in not killing...
Warhead decides to take his boyz for a spin by deep striking next to the SM tactical squad.
Boomgun takes down 2 SM.
Boyz shoot and take down 1 SM and then assault eliminating last tactical squad of SM. My boyz thou suffer 3 casualties.

SM move.
Rhino attempts to tank shock my squad of boyz. I decide to be polite and let it pass. (sadly i simply couldn't get a glancing hit with a str of 4)
Terminators shoot my boyz and so do the scouts. Well 5 boyz down, Rhino simply failed to-wound rolls.

Turn 3
My move.
Lootas finally do somethin and takes down his scout squad with 21 wounds
With my sh.at.gun I take down 1 Terminator and the Rhino which explodes taking 1 wound from my nob.
With frazzle I take down the 2 last remaining terminators and my nob bikers take care of his HQ...


And once again I apologize if my report sort-of... well you know... suck :(
but that's why I'm here to learn from the great veterans of wargaming

P.s. Sry for no pics. :(

Sounds like fun! I hope your friend enjoyed it, being his first game and all

That was some lucky consistancy with the SAG
Nice work! beating Space Marines is ALWAYS deserving of a pat on the back

Well it's always nice to recieve compliments, and I assure you that the white templar player now plans a revenge on my orchish horde meaning we've got ourselves yet another SM player

Ah well, maybe we can convert him?

not often SM get shot to death by orcs.

I typically have good luck against SM (the non SW variety anway) with my orks. Sounded like a fun game overall.
One thing to note however. Ork psyker powers hit automatically, so there is no scatter with frazzle. You just lay down the blast marker and bam they're hit.
Its a nice bonus to counterbalance the random power selection.
