Hello dakka.
Casual game, not competitive
Skragg stood impatiently, waiting for the rapidly approaching Vehicles. Two trukks were spewing oily smoke as they hurtled towards him and his 4 stormboyz. The trukks spun and screeched wildly as they braked. one of them stopped abrubtly less than a metre away frim the unflinching Nob. Skragg spat onto the grille, which sizzled angrily at him.
A huge ork hopped over the side, and regarded Skragg imperiously. Rumpin' BackThumpa the warboss stood over eight feet tall, and commanded serious respect from his warband, Skragg included. The nob saluted him. Rumpin' snorted, he wasn't a fan of the 'disinplinary' lifestlye of stormboyz. They were, however, fantastic scouts.
'Boss, we have located da enemies. Dey have one of those demon- fings. Princes.' The warboss looked interested. His lust for battle was matched only by his vanity. He opened his gigantic mouth and bellowed
'Did da prince have a crown?'
Skragg thought hard. Eventually after consulting with his boyz, he answered.
'Dunno.'
The warboss considered his options for a moment. Even if the prince didn't have a crown, it was sure to have horns he could stick on his trukk, he reasoned. Plus there would be plenty of gubbinz to go around. And he was getting tired of eating squiggs. His cracked lips curled unpleasently, his power klaw twitched with anticipation.
'MOUNT UP!' he roared. Skragg smiled nastily.

Deployment: Orks won the roll off and deployed the trukks side by side, about 5 inches apart. The stormboyz deployed on a rooftop to the right.
One marine squad deployed to my right, one in the middle in cover, demon prince beside them. The havoks were to the right. Chaos fails to seize.
Orks turn one:
Skragg and his boyz flew erratically after their bosses trukk. He dimly noticed the trukk full of shootas flying towards the big prince. Maybe Rumpin' had gotten cold feet? Skragg grinned, before wildly arcing up to avoid the rapidly approaching ground. It always seemed to get in his way..
Slugga trukk drove full speed towards the right hand side marines, while the shoota boyz made a beeline for the middle squad and Demon prince. The Stormboyz followed closely behind the slugga trukk, thanks to an extra 6" roll for their rokkits.
Chaos turn one:
What the hell just happened? Rumpin' found himself asking this unpleasent question as he picked himself up of the ground. He noticed that only half of his boyz did the same. The others seemed to have been shot to pieces.
'Steady', he growled at the shellshocked boyz.
Demon prince moved towards the shoota trukk. In the shooting phase, The havoks destroyed the shoota trukk, which got a kerrunch result. The shoota boyz piled out the back, away from the demon prince, and out of sight of the middle squad.
The middle squad destroyed the slugga trukk with plasma fire, it also got a kerrunch result. The right hand squad then rapid fired, and killed 5. They passed their morale test.
Ork turn two:
Skragg watched as Rumpin' changed his mind and led the ramainder of his boyz towards the middle squad. He yelled at his own boyz to stay on course. After all, you shouldn't change your taktiks, he thought. Their rokkits were approaching danger speed as he urged his boyz on.
On the other side of the battlefield, Splitta da shoota nob opened fire with his squad at the prince. It seemed to work, much to his surprise. The prince gave out an unearthly bellow as slugs penetrated his arms and chest.
'Well that's a first', thought Splitta.
The slugga boyz charged the middle squad, while the stormboyz rolled another 6, bringing them right next to the right hand squad, which they charged. The shoota boyz moved around the wrecked trukk and shot the Demon prince, causing a wound.
Assault phase:
Skragg landed on one of da chaos boyz, breaking his neck. He then disembowelled another one, laughing manically. His boyz clubbed another one to death. Two of them were killed however.
'losers', he thought. The remaining marines fled. Skragg considered giving chase, but decided he wanted the princes crown for himself.
Rumpin' swiped viciously, killing three marines. His squad matched this, while losing none of their own. The final marine fled, screaming. This was getting boring.
Slugga squad killed 6 marines in the middle squad, losing none of their own. The final marine fled, and the squad consolidated into cover.
The stormboyz lost two, then killed three. The marines fled, and weren't swept. remaining stormboyz consolidated towards the slugga boyz.
Chaos Turn two:
Skraggs boyz exploded on each side of him in spetacular fashions. He twisted around in mid air, and saw that the four marines were back with a vengeance. He quickly decided a 'Takitial Retreat' was in order, and flew away to find somewhere to hide.
Splitta and his shootas held their hands to their ears as the ground exploded all around them. He saw most of his squad go flying through the air, often missing vital parts, like heads. He gulped, steeled his nerves and yelled WAAAAGH!, to restore morale. A couple of his boyz joined in, but Splitta couldn't hear them over the ringing sound in his ears.
The right hand squad rallied and rapid fired at the stormboyz, killing two. The nob fled, never to return.
The havoks fragged the shootas and killed seven. They passed their morale test. The demon prince was just out of charge range of the shoota boyz.
Orks turn three:
Rumpin' instucted his boyz to go after the Demon Prince alone. He was going to attack the four marines left behind them. No, he was NOT chickening out, he was just being a cleva warboss, RIGHT?? He reached the 4 chaos lads, tripped and fell onto his open power klaw, half killing himself. The marines looked at each other confused. This was their leader?
Their hesitance killed them. Rumpin' picked himself up and proceeded to smush three of them. The last marine ran away as fast as his genetically altered body could carry him.
The slugga boyz charged the prince, gunz blazing. The prince crushed one of them in each hand, but fell to their multitude of attacks. The Nob ripped his head off, but their did not seem to be a crown present. He ordered his boyz to check the ground around them.
Splitta and his half squad attacked the marines with the rokkits. He splattered two, while his boyz shot down another. Two of his retinue bit the dust in return.
Warboss detached and called a WAAAGH to reach the right hand side marines. He took two wounds, then killed three. The final marine fled.
The sluggas took a wound off the demon prince with their gunz and then killed him in combat after losing two.
The shoota boyz shot a havok dead, then charged in. They lost two, then the Nob killed two personally. The remaining two remained.
Chaos turn three:
'These rokkits will come in useful,' thought Splitta as he finished off the final two marines. Looking around, he was surprised to find himself alone. The rokkit marines had annhialated his entire squad. Impressive. And one the bright side, more Rokkits for him!
The havoks kill the final two shoota boyz, and in return the Nob kills them. Chaos have been tabled, while the orks still have:
-Warboss with one wound
-Shoota nob
-3 sluggas and slugga nob.
ORK VICTORY! It was a great game, and I enjoyed writing the fluff. Any comments are welcome
