As the sun rose high in the sky the first shots rang out, boltguns roaring into the midst of the ork horde, surely just a penultimate strike to test there current patrol strength. The 4 larger orks ran at the marines Taking losses as they ran, other bolts just having no effect on their tough hides and muscular bodies. The largest of the Orks tore through squad after squad of Space marines, Other orks shot from a far off bunker Letting fire with all of there weapons. Although most shots missed and those that did hit barely made a dent in the space marines armour. A missile launcher could be heard firing overhead explosions among the greenskin ranks ripping them apart, the whine of meltaguns powering up and discharging their deadly load. As the 3 Larger orks got gunned down and then cut to peices in combat by the Chapter Master himself. the Chapter Masters glory was cut shoort however as the larrgest of the Orks cut him down, just before the final blow was struck he was beamed out to the nearby ship of the Flesh Dragons. With the chapter master himself gone all weapons were turned on the Largest ork Wounding him multiple times, with the triumph of the larger orks the boys charged forward toward marines taking bolter fire but continuing to charge, even during the last moments when the boyz charged taking out a handful more boys. That was the last occasion Squad Brialis was seen in combat to this date. However soon the Chaplain Arrived to aid in the assault, after squad brialis getting wiped out vengeance was so sweat as the joy the remaining marines took with wiping out the remaining boys, the chaplain claiming thhe head of the last boy to signal the end of the fight. this time.

I forgot to take pictures of the remaining turns but the warboss gets shot to peices then the boyz try to assault then they get overwatched and fail the charge anyway, the chappy comes in and owns the boys in combat

thanks for reading any hints or tips on how to better write these would be appreciated

kill points: Orks 3, Marines 4 (marines first blood) ORKS TABLED MARINE VICTORY

TBH, I am confused, The orks are completely in terms of points. Even as pimped out as I could make them I could only get the models shown up to 333 points, whereas the space marines with 15 tac marines a chaplain and a chapter master (all vanilla) sit at about 485.

In terms of doing a write up, try to break the text up with each turns relevant turn and I find that it helps to thrown in a few over the shoulder of a model, or similar style, of shots for variation to keep someone interested.

i'll have to do them points up again and see about it and thanks for the help with how to write these up

I like your narrative. Good battle report
