So Here we go!




Deployment!



I decided to try and keep my forces a little together as i have a habit of spreading out too thin and getting jumped 1 by 1 by the orks so i concentrated more or less to the centre, Fangs were primed ready to go into the building for cover.

Matt spread his orks out across the whole side of the board, Warboss and lootas lingering to the right flank!


ORK SCOUT MOVE



Koptas moved as far forward as poss to get 3+ turbo save!


WOLVES MOVEMENT/SHOOTING TURN 1



Everything moved forward, Rhino's popped smoke (Too early), and Long Fangs kill 2 Koptas (They pass leadership)



ORKS MOVEMENT/SHOOTING TURN 1



Mat moves everything toward my left flank with his Warboss and Lootas moving round my right (he did drop off he deffgun lootas into the building but we forgot to put em of the Report!)
His Koptas moved behind my Dred and managed to do nothing!




WOLVES MOVEMENT/SHOOTING TURN 2



I'm more aggressive this battle, (We forgot that Drop Pod should have come in on Turn 1, so it came in now - game changer?) I meet him head on with both GH squads and flame the hell out him and let loose with bolt gun fire. Terminators out of the Drop Pod unleash hell and massacre a few Boyz!



ORKS MOVEMENT/SHOOTING TURN 2



Mat hurls everything at the pileup on the left.
Stormboyz move behind GHs, Ghazgull gets out, Boys both charge GHs
Koptas Charge Long Fangs

ORKS ASSAULT TURN 2



Drawn comabt with Koptas.

Ghazgull draws combat with the Termies. (???)

Somehow the GH squads both stand fast and turn the Orks!!


WOLVES MOVEMENT/SHOOTING TURN 3



GH squads mount up and move out of Ghaz range, 1 Squad heads for mat's objective and wipes out the Lootas with a flamer shot! Long fangs in the building pepper the Burna trukk on the far right and manage to imob it!


WOLVES ASSAULT TURN 3



Dreadnought heads for Ghaz, gets into combat and gets The termi's get mutilated and 1 flee's

Drawn combat with Kopta's AGAIN


ORKS MOVEMENT/SHOOTING TURN 3



WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Warboss gets out and wanders toward GH's

Ghaz charges Land Raider (shown on next pic)

Stormboys move toward land raider


ORKS ASSAULT TURN 3



Warboss wipes out GH squad bar flamer and meltagun - they flee

Ghazgull fails to hit the Land Raider!

Kopta dies finally!!!!!!!!!!


WOLVES MOVEMENT/SHOOTING TURN 4



Nothing much, Land Raider moves

Long Fangs kill a Nob


WOLVES ASSAULT TURN 4


Long Fangs charge Ghaz and somehow manage to draw the combat?!



ORKS MOVEMENT/SHOOTING TURN 4


Stomrboys head for lone Termi ready to strike!
Burnas hop out of trukk and manage to kill a Long Fang
Warboss mounts up!


ORKS ASSAULT TURN 4

Land Raider doesnt get hit by Boyz Nob (Giggidy)


WOLVES MOVEMENT/SHOOTING TURN 5


Land Raider moves toward Ghaz and dumps out Logan and Termi's, Grey Huntes in Rhino head off towards mats objective!

WOLVES ASSAULT TURN 5

Logan and Termi's massacre Ghazgull and consolodate toward objective!


ORKS MOVEMENT/SHOOTING TURN 5


Stormboys head toward Logan, Battlewagon moves to block out lane to objective for Rhino (hard to see on this Report but it did move so there wasnt a gap)

ORKS ASSAULT TURN 5


Stormboyz as we suspected get ripped apart by Logan


WOLVES MOVEMENT/SHOOTING TURN 6

Logan splits and Wolf Guard take objective
Rhino tries to find a gap - fails so sits and wonders how to get past!


ORKS MOVEMENT/SHOOTING TURN 6

Bit of shuffling around, Mat leaves it too late to grab his own objective! Curses!



END GAME


SPACE WOLVES 1 - ORKS 0



Overall it was an enjoyable match, shame mat forgot that he had to go and control his own objective! though we did do the (shooting phase run roll) for his warboss to see if he would have made it, and he didnt! So overall it was a win anyway! To begin with I think we decided to try and slaughter each other rather than going for the objectives (played too much annihalation!) But a few tactical errors on both sides! I think I underesitmated Logan's abilites and i kept him hidden in his Raider for too long, gotta learn to get him out and get him bashing things!

Ghazgull is a terror! mat had some unlucky rolls! And if luck would have been with him Ghaz sure would have ripped a few more squads quicker!!

Man of the Match for ORKS: Painboy! - His FNP rolls for Ghazgull and Nobs was a game changer, without it, it would have been a lot more 1 sided

Man of the Match for WOLVES: GH Flamer - Took out Bikes and an ENTIRE Loota squad! PLAYA!!!!!

Thanks for reading! Gonna do a video report for next battle!

I'm not entirely surprised the Orkz lost--his elites were far too underpowered, and despite the utility of the KMB, it's better to stick with a flamer/loota gun for those squads. That, and there needed to be more of them. Could accomplish all that by getting rid of the bikers.

That being said, there were tactical errors on both sides--but hey, you both had fun, and that's what counts. Good rep.

Yeah i think post battle mat decided either he needs LOTS more bikes or to scrap em and take something else.

But yeah first time repping, missed a lot actually looking back, probably do a vid report next time as its easier to track whats happenin!

thanks tho!
