I finally got a chance to square off against lutnit's guard with my orks. 1750pts with 3 objectives on a 6x4 2/3 of which was urban. We decided that the objectives could only be placed in no man's land. Lutnit was cool with me running some forgeworld stuff, specifically my mega dread and a mekboy junka. I stuggled to make 1750pts, still got some painting to do.

Lutnit won the roll and decided to go second. I was cool with that seeing as I have very little in the way or ranged firepower. I turboboosted my deffkoptas for their scout move. First turn was decent, I knocked out a hydra and shook the other with my 2 strong squadron of deffkoptas. The third lone deffkopta took the turret and shook a leman russ. Then it sorta went downhill from there. Some decent shooting from lutnit's ratlings took my warboss on bike down to 1 wound. Sentinels with autocannons eventually outflanked and shot my poor mega dread in the butt. Mortars took out 3 lootas and pinned the remaining 2. Harker and some demo vets outflanked in a chimera and faced off against two of my deffdreads, downing one with some lucky meltabomb hits. My burna boys managed to fry most of a squad of guardsmen. My big mek did very little. A deffdread managed to fry 6 ratlings but was subsequently toasted by a few meltaguns to the face. My skorcha wield ork go-cart got lit up by a leman russ and wrecked. My only mob of boys managed to get to one of the objectives only to have a valk outflank and kick their asses with missile pods. My battlewagon blew and left my nobz out in the open. They were shot up big time and reduced to a single nob who was later assaulted by lutnit's company command squad. The lone nob took down 4 guardsmen but eventually fell to the company commander. In the end lutnit had 2 of the 3 objectives.

Pretty much all the pictures were taken by dracheous.

nice pictures!

got to ask what the flying tank all about in the army pics at the top ?

We were joking about abusing the rule on page 3 of the rulebook where it says you have to glue your model to he base it came with. My friend was saying "yeah I bought a box at a garage sale and it had a leman russ and a valk flying base in it so it had to be done".

Wow, awesome armies, I really enjoyed the pics and your table.

what did you use for the used shells on the lrbt?

I believe he used cut up pieces of plastic rod.

That has to be one of the nicest looking battles i've ever seen.

Both sides brilliantly painted and even the terrain was well done.

Thanks guy, we try our best to make sure anything hitting the tabletop is fully painted.

Beautiful armies and great looking terrain. Thanks for sharing!

Two great looking armies. Good read too.

Both armies look fantastic. Nothing better than 2 well painted armies on a good looking battlefield.
I wish people at my FLGS bothered to paint their armies...

Awesome looking armies!

Did the Imperial guard Player get completely hosed? cause it certainly looked like it from the pictures!

Nope, I (the ork player) did. Got my ass handed to me.

Great report! Care to share the army lists?

Brilliant Report. And beautifully painted! I was like hey, I didn't know GW upload battle reports to dakka, oh wait.

Now that is a Battle Report!

Also, thank you for some insperation for my IG models with the paint scheme.

Cool battle! Nice pics and great looking armies too.

Awesome paint jobs on both armies looks like you got a tough break from his shooting.

Beautifuly painted and nice pictures.

these armies look fantastic. I love your battle reports and wish all of them had such a great presentation. Two great looking, fully painted armies with clear photos of the action....great job! i look foward to more battle reports in the future

Very well done those armies are breath taking. If you don't mind what kind of camera are you using? and did you use flash? I always seem to have trouble with my camera looking to get a new one.

I used my Canon 50D with my 18-85mm lens for most of the pictures; couple times broke out the 1.8 50mm. Crablez lent me one of his flash with a diffuser on it for the day; he's been trying to convince me to spend the money on one. And I will; when I has it to spend on it .


Actually between the three of us there; LUTNIT and Crabz playing; me watching this game. There was a lot of photographic gear on hand. Crabz uses Canon; but LUTNIT is a Nikon user. So there are often many DSLR camera's on hand at our games.

Don't fully recall either list. The before picture gives a good indication of what each army comprised.

The lighting is from the flash bouncing off the ceiling and back down. The point and shoots always have a forward facing flash which generall looks pretty harsh.

Beautiful armies and table! Thanks for sharing.
