today i played my 600 point ork army against a fellow ork player (mine were not painted, his artistically so) at my local game club. he game me one of his killa kans so it was 690 pts (me) on 685 (him)

It looked really bad towards the end then with some lucky dice i pulled through. We were playing modified purge the aliean (no night fighting, no reserves, and we played till all of one side was destroyed. We called this game mode Annihilation)

My Army list:
HQ: AoBR Warboss
Elites: 5 Nobz (made troops by Warboss, who also led them, AoBR)
Troops: 29 boyz led by a powerklaw nob w/ boss pole (shoota slugga but 2 had big shoota and one had rokkit launcha. 20 Aobr, 9 not, and nob not)
fast attack: 2 deffkoptas (AoBR)
Heavy support: 1 killa kan

His Army List:
HQ:Big Mek with shokk attack gun
Elites: 9 lootas led by cybork (i think)
Troops: 29 led by a nob (i think it was all 3 big shoota)
Heavy Support: Deff Dread (4 close combat dreadnaught weapons)

Thanks fro reading if you have any suggestions make sure to comment!!

Better than me. I have lost both my 1500 point games. Of course I am a super noob concerning the game so I don't mind.

Good job

It depends on your competition, but it feels good to win and congrats to original poster. However, the likely norm is you will get your Arse kicked around the block for the first 9-12 games and as the rules solidify in your head and tactics develop and you learn what things work with what armies, you will be a better player and win more games. Cheers and good luck to all and happy holidays.

Here's the secret...We all lose alot when we start, dont let that put you off just use it as a learning experience.

When i came back after my 7 year break i was at a disadvantage as my friends knew 5th ed and i didnt, my wolves took a beating the first few games but as i got back into the grove things turned around.

In 6th they havent had a loss, though there have been a few draws.

Just remember you learn more from a loss, and next time go back and hit your enemy even harder.

Best way to play ever. Waaagh!

I had the rule book for 3 weeks before I got the minis or codexs and then for another week before my first game I had a good Idea of what strategy to use against each army, including my own race.
