Game 1 Orks vs. Necrons
Necron List:
Spoiler:
1 Necron Lord (Upgrades)
2x 15 Necron Warriors
1x 16 Necron Warriors
4 Flayed Ones
3x Monoliths
The deployment was Spear Head, and the terrain was about a good 4 rock in the corners and one hill in the middle.
I went first, however due to the game mode, I couldn't field everything so I was already suffering.
I move my one wagon and trukk up around the hill to gain some well needed LOS, that ended my turn.
His turn he stayed on top of the high rock his warriors were on and he stood still with the neighboring warriors, he attempted to pop my trukk but no luck.
2nd Turn:
I roll for reserves my first Loota squad came in and my Mek Wagon. I push forward to the woods for my Trukk to gain some cover and move my Nob wagon to where the Trukk was but out of reach of fire.
His turn he brought in 2 Monoliths his Lord and Flayed ones, he successfully popped the Trukk but didn't kill the boyz.
3rd Turn:
My other Lootas come in and by buggies, and Ghaz is still in reserve so I couldn't do much there.
I move my Mek and Nob wagon up, knowing now with the 4+ I can get some threats rolling down.
The lootas make it up to a hill, so now they were in full bird's eye view of the battlefield.
He brings in his last Monolith and warriors, and unleashes onto the boyz and wagons. The Boyz are annihilated but the wagons shrug it off like no one's business.
4th turn:
Ghaz still in reserves (I'm good at rolling one's when I don't need to.)
My buggies move up to support the rear. My back loota squad move up to aid the other lootas.
The Nob wagon reaches the warriors moving about 6/7"(RPJ) and disembarks the Nobz, the Mek wagon moves up to the side of it and pivots to block off the rear and side armor of the Nob wagon. While only exposing the front of the Mek wagon to Gauss weaponry.
The Nobz fire a few slugga rounds getting about 2 kills, and the wagon just shoots for fun.
The Lootas attempt to shoot the warriors that came from reserve, but didn't manage to drop anyone.
Then it was time to get krumpin' the Nobz move in to assualt and my lord, I dropped the 16 man squad to about 3 or 4. With 5 killed from PK's, they flee, and I consolidate behind the rock as best I could.
He sees the force of the Nobz, and bring his warriors back to the right Monolith moves his Lord up a few, and positions the other 2 Monoliths to more threatening angles.
He fires into my Nobz and manages to bring down 2 of them.
With his warriors he attempts to fire at the Mek wagon, but yet again nothing.
5th Turn:
(Ghaz finally came in... )
I move my wagon to face the front of a lith, and sit there as an armored big shoota.
My second wagon tank shocked the necron warriors, and managed to kill 3 with the deffrolla.
My Boyz pour out, and go through a narrow passage to get stuck in.
As my Nobz went for the lord and flayed ones.
But of course, suddenly the Lord has a move that makes me only hit on 6's and negates charge bonuses, like I even knew. Guy has a habit of bitching about what's in your army, but never tells you what's in his.(Turns out he used the flayed one's rule that does that, but used it saying it affects the Lord as well in CC. Cheated out. )
So yeah my Nobz manage to kill 1 flayed one, I lose 2 more Nobz, and so much for that.
On the other hand, my Boyz kicked in some metal teeth, and brought the 15 man squad down to 6 with only 5 boyz and a Nob.
When it was his turn, he moved the warriors behind the monoliths with the portal. (They were getting torn a new one anyways.)
His Lord and flayed ones attacked the Nobz. (Remember that awesome ability you have to do it each first round of combat, guess what he said it stays FOREVER. )
So yeah... the Nobz lose and flee. He catches them and consolidates to about my edge of the table trying to gain ground points.
He slings as many Templates he could at boyz, but the stuck close to the wagon and gained cover, so they were fine.
All in all I was above half strength with my men.
Necrons being afraid to get in it, had to get behind the monoliths.
Time was finally called, and the end result was.
I killed 2 full troop choices.
He only managed to kill a squad of Boyz a trukk and the nobz.
That was more point on my part, I had more ground so more point for me, I won my points and the kills. 18 to 7
Game 2 Salamanders vs. Orks
(My list you can find from the first post.)
Salamander list:
Spoiler:
Troops are whatever fit inside I guess.
1 Vulkan
2 Rhinos (troops)
2 Vindicators
1 Land Raider (troops w. Vulkan)
2 Dreadnoughts in Pods (Not sure what type of Dreads)
Turn 1:
We are playing on the same table I played on the first round, so I knew where to put what.
I was going second but got to the opposite side, where I wanted so it was all good.
My deployment was simple, my wagons were behind the hill, and my lootas were on the big rock this time, scanning the entire board.
He moves in and positions his vehicles accordingly to get the best shots he can. The volley does nothing but hurt my buggies, but his dreads hurt my Lootas badly.
As for my turn, I do my best to position my vehicles to move up and not take to much heat. My lootas fire and don't do anything either,but I am however closer to where I want to be, so I'm fine with that.
Turn 2:
Holy hell, his Land Raider comes up right smack on the middle his vindicators move closer, his dreads as well, and he moves a rhino closer to my wagons (mistake).
Kaboom! Bye bye lootas, buggies, and Ghaz's wagon (wrecked).
I move Ghaz and the burnas around to avoid fire, my trukk gets immobilized, I failed the DT after the re-roll I had to go over where one of my buggies blew up.
Mek Wagon moves up a little and stays put.
As for my Nob wagon, I disembark them, let the wagon roll the rhino, it pops, he lost a few in the explosion. I move the Nobz closer to the squad. I shoot into the squad getting I think 1 wound. But then I charge and brings the squad down to 3 from 7, not the best charge but, they did their job. I consolidate to the right, trying to bait shots and threats away.
Turn 3:
He moves the vehicles again and pops my trukk and kills my boyz, he hits my Nobz and manages to kill two with one vindicator. Then his second vindicator scattered right on top of his land raider, he tells me to roll for the result. Explodes! Out comes Vulkan and his squad. He fires with that squad and Vulkan into Ghaz and the burners and manages to take out a few of the Burners. He moves in to assualt I'm faced with Vulkan and 2 guys who can reach. He didn't direct the attacks to Ghaz only so I took a few burnas out from my squad, and a few of his marines.
As for me, I move the Nobz into closer range to the fleeing marines as we were pressed for time it was the last turn due to it.
I disembark my Mek wagon and boyz, and I rush in. I pop a few shots with my Nobz and wagon guns at the fleeing squad took out 1 Go ork BS! As for my boyz they took down 3 of the 7 10 man squad with Vulkan, and then I charge to get stuck in, so yeah about 98 attacks coming his way, we agree to just kill off his marines. And Vulkan and Hestan will just go out, he goes first due to initiative, swings misses all but 1 and failed to wound. I swing land 3, and wound him down to death. Vulkan literally got bitch slapped there, 1 hit failed to wound, and Ghaz hits 5/5/6 and wounds on 2's so failing his invuls as well. Vulkan took a PK to the face.
The Orks really got stuck in there.
Time is called. End result.
I lost my Lootas, Warbuggies, Trukks, 12 Boyz, 1 Wagon, 2 Nobz and 14 Burnas.
He lost 1 Rhino, 18 marines, Vulkan, and a Land Raider.
But points only apply to squads below half, so minus the Nobz. We also got point for killing Generals and yours being alive. I controlled more ground by being in one corner and contesting 2.
I won 17-8 this time.
Story for Salamanders:
Spoiler:
A dry wind blew over the temperate field, as smoke and the scent of burning adamantium filled the air.
The Salamanders had crossed paths with a convoy led by Ghazghkull Thraka himself.
Vulkan He'Stan however, would not let the notorious greenskin skim by without a fight.
Immediately the Salamanders had fired into the Ork convoy, with a flurry of Melta weapons, doing all they can to halt Thraka's junk-heap brigade.
Intrigued to get "stuck in" Thraka ordered his Ork to get into the fight.
Recklessly the Orks ran straight into the closest thing they could krump.
Explosions echoed out as buggies, rhinos, and trukks exploded. Bodies, limbs, metal, flying vigorously into the air.
Dreadnoughts descended from the sky, raining fire onto every Ork that fell into their wake of incineration.
It had seemed a valiant assualt by Vulkan, for his Salamanders made easy work of the Ork's vehicles.
Nevertheless, he refused to let any Ork to so much as leave unscathed.
Vulakan's Land Raider swiftly moved through the hills, and had landed a fatal blow onto Thraka's battlewagon.
This forced Thraka to do the remainder of his Waaagh! on foot, Vulkan had Thraka in his grasp.
Suddenly, a group of Lootas had successfully destroyed a Rhino carrying Vulkan's favored comrades.
With these noble Salamanders exposed, Thraka sent his most "dead killy" Nobz in.
These savage Orks poured out of their battlewagon, and made the death march towards Vulkan's finest.
As Vulkan watched the new green threat charge into his men, he had let Thraka slip away, but not quite.
Though Thraka had moved around his broken battlewagon, him and his Burnas were not out of Vulkan's reach yet.
Vulkan ordered his Vindicators to intercept the Nobz, while he planned his next move for Thraka and his forces.
The Vindicators unleashed devastating shots from their turrets, hitting the Nobz, one Nob fell to the mighty blast, but the Painboy patched up the rest.
From the rear, the second Vindicator had shot, but their was fault present, the trajectory of the shot went off course, it began to fall straight onto Vulkan's Land Raider and his squad.
With a fearsome blast, the Land Raider exploded from the result of friendly fire.
A few of Vulkan's squad had fell to the ill-fated shot, this interruption caused Thraka to get away from danger.
With Nobz making quick work of their target, they continued their fight against what was left of Vulkan's finest.
Enraged Vulkan, sought out Thraka, capturing the behemoth behind his Burna Boyz, he ordered his men to burn them where they stand.
Flames leaked from the green marines' weapons, as Thraka's Burnas fell victim to the very weaponry they used.
The stench of burnt Ork flesh filled the air now, and Vulkan moved in for the kill.
He and his men made a great leap from the summit of the hill over the wrecked Battlewagon, into Thraka's view.
Vulkan was first to stare down upon the Warboss that has reeked so much havoc upon the Imperium of Man.
The rest of his men, were still making an effort to support their leader, but not quite to his aid.
In the distance, Thraka's Big Mek and his squad of boyz arrived in their Battlewagon, providing support to their Warboss.
A wave of Green Tide flooded around Thraka, as his troops went into the fight and maimed Vulkan's men.
At last it was down to Vulkan, as he watched his men fall, it was now his finest hour, he must take down Thraka alone, at all costs.
Thraka looked up at the Salamander. "You really dink, you could take me 'oomie? Don't you know who I am? I am the Hand of Gork and Mork, I'm der prophet, and dis iz my Waaagh!"
Vulkan dove into Thraka, striking away at him, Thraka moved with the cunning of a true warrior, and parried Vulkan's attacks, however, Vulkan slipped through and struck a blow into Thraka's gut.
But to no avail, he didn't penetrate all the way through Thraka's armor and was lodged into him.
"Now itz my turn 'oomie! Waaagh!" Thraka roared.
Thraka threw his adamantium skull into the front of Vulkan's helm; the force of his head-butt dislodged Vulkan and caused him to stumble back.
Trying to regain his balance, the disoriented Vulkan could not defend himself from Thraka's attacks.
Thraka's power klaw tore through Vulkan's armor, tearing his body into shreds, until finally Thraka eviscerated the Salamander.
Blood sprayed everywhere, as a mist of crimson caressed Thraka's armor, and an ocean of gore and fluids poured beneath his feet.
Vulkan was slain, and the Salamander's assault had failed.
The Orks were victorious, their Waaagh! was unstopped, and Thraka reigned supreme to conqueror again.
