His List

Dias of Destruction with 9xWarriors with spilnter rifles (I think) and Vect (I also think haha)
2xRaiders with 10 Warriors each spilnter rifle and cannon i believe
2x 5xScourge sqauds with spilnter cannons or w.e gives them lots of shots
6X Reaver Jetbikes aswell with those caltrop things
and he took a razorwing i believe its the flyer with all the whistles and bells.

Now we on't play with flyers usually we just started to get into them so this is like my second game against them i didn't take one because i really love deftcoptas and i've never ran big shootas on them before.

So we rolled Crusade (mission 1) and got 4 Objectives we placed them basically in all four corners (we play a 4x4 table sooo yea)
We rolled Dawn of war deployment
we rolled for cover and literally there wasn't haha think corners had 1 and the last cprner had 3 so alot of ruins and one big LoS Blocking building in the middle.
Rolled off he chose me to go first.
Tried to deploy most of my Lootas in Cover and put one of them behind cover becuase they couldnt reach due to deployment range.
One sqaud of ork boys on the left side with the loota ready to move onto the objective
the other three wer on the right flank going for the other ruin objective.
He deploys everything behind Ruins and one sqaud of scourges on the far right side with his objective.
We Roll Night fighting.
He rolls a 6 to steal Initative ( but vect lets him steal it on 4 so didnt really matterm, of course he didnt tell me that before hand)
Game starts he immidately luanches his reaver jetbikes 36" Over my 2 Loota sqauds and drops those stupid caltrops Kills 5 Loota all together.
Moves and shoots the raider at my other loota sqaud killing 1 or 2 and then killing a third with the other (got a lucky Go to ground cover save rolls of 4+)

My turn i move my Lootas up to the objectie into cover (Passed all my leadership rolls on previous loot sqauds)
I turn around my shoota boy sqaud that was on the left flank and move toward the bikes.
the other sqaud move into cover to grab the other objective 2 other sqaud move towards the middle to meet the raiders.
back sqaud of lootas wipe out the firt raider getting 3 pens and exploding killing 4 warriors in the explosion.
Second loota sqaud fires at other raider flulffs and thir sqaud as well flulffs only take 2 hull and stunning it.
all my boys shoot at the jetbikes killing 4 of them and the one sqaud assaults them killing them out right he flulffed his to hit roll.

His turn razorwing doesnt come in which was nice moved all his stuff up and moved the coruges in the back up and around to meet his other units. Fell his warrior squad back to his objective.
Moves dias bside my 10 man lootas swaud and wipes it leaving one left
(Question He used this ability or weapon that is a small blast and he goes aginst my leadership, Now is it the orks ld of 7 or does the mob rule make it 10? I didnt know but he wiped the sqaud none the less.

My turn 2 of my Deftcopta sqauds come in from resvere and get on the left side where all his gak is one sqaud kills 4 scourge hitting with 8 of my 9 shots and wounding 7 of those 8 was awesome. the other sqaud another good volley of 7 hitsand 5 wounds and he made every single cover save on his warrior sqaud.
Lootas shoot the remaining Raider only wrecking it. shoota boys move up and shoot the opnes that get out minimal damage other sqaud moves through ruins and out other side still holding objetcive trying to stay in cover as much as possible. turn ends.

HERE COMES THE RAZORWING
He places it inbetween my three sqauds of shoota boys (I didnt realize its av10 all around so my shoota boys can actually hurt it)
H ebasically wipes out my hq sqaud with everything failing 2 leadership tests using bosspole and almost falling off the table edge rolling 10"
Dias shoots at the shoota boy sqaud that assualted the jetbikes and are out of cover do alot of damage to it but not enough.
Scourges and warrioirs wipe out my deftcoptas threat with ease cause of posion weapons all around.

My turn i regroup my big mek my last unit of deftcoptas coems on the right side closer to the Razorwing move a little around the razor wing make sure everythings in range movewhats left of the right side shoota boy sqaud into cover and onto the objective. Shoota at warrior sqaud kill2 of them 3 left.
THAN ALLLLL THE DAKKA AT THE RAZORWING.
Deftcoptas get one pen getting a weapon destoryed...
Everything else missed couldnt wound or hit it with all my orks. Now i have my Lootas first sqaud flulffs to hit.
Last sqaud gets only 2 GLANCES WTF!!!!
and he he fails both his 5+save making it crash and burn but missing my army. YES VICTORY IS NEAR.

His turn he moves the dias closer to the objective and hops out wiping out what was left of the shoota boy sqaud in cc
moves his warrioirs clsoer to his objective moves his last scourge sqaud and wipes out my last deftcopta sqaud.

I move my one sqaud to the other objective in the right corner on his side, move my small sqaud that got decimated by the razorwing into the ruins that my previous orks were holding, than move my other orks towards his vect warrioir squad. Lootas fire at warrior sqaud that has about 7 guys left kill 2 more. And i wipe out the other 5 man scourge sqaud.

His turn moves dias shoots at my shoota boys and i get my 6+ cover save from the one objective that gives +1 to your cover haha.
shoots at orks mnimal damage.

My turn he forfiets knowing that my undying swarm of boys will be upon vect and he wont be able to budge those ork boys.

(This is all off memory so i may of jumbling turns togetgehr i believe the game ending on turn 6 with with him conceding.)

All in all wasa really good game i was scared because i didnt really have anything that could hurt the dias aside from lootas and my Big Mek with pk and big choppas on nobs.

Hope you enjoyed reading sorry if it sounds rushed writing at work = P

Seems like quite a case of optimised Ork list Vs. a Fun Dark Eldar one. That being said, I still think the DE would of had a better chance if he changed a few things. If you tell him these things is up to if you want to lose next game

I feel his wasn't using Vect efficiently, you pay a lot for his CC goodness and he wasn't in combat till turn 3 when he could of been there turn 2. What i'd of done is swap the warriors for a unit of wyches to rock with Vect (9 wyches with Hydra gauntlet & Hek with Venom blade us 115pts) that makes much better use of his combat ability. On the charge with extra strength from drugs (About same as all other combat drugs like extra attack or re-roll to wound, just easier for me to math out) they do around 17 kills on Orks (8 wyches with gauntlet giving 3 extra attacks = 10 dead orks, Succubus another 2, Vect 5 ish) on average, not including pistols. That's some amazing combat potential he was wasting. Also he should try make the points for nightshields, they work wonders against orks with there 18 inch guns with good pre measuring.



Over all well played. I think you might be lacking anti High AV because if he played Vect aggressively he could of had his pick of any unit you had with little difficulty. For you i'd drop the Mek down to bare minimum, CFF and maybe a burna. That way by knocking off a few lootas you can afford a second Mek with a CFF, so you always have a back up plan.

Nah man, seems like a pretty middling Ork list to me.

I added the power klaw and eavy armour because i had to drop the 50 points from the aegis and didnt really know what t throw points at so i just gave the big mek the power klaw. I basically just ignored it dias for the most part because i knew i couldnt hurt it, (Big Choppas could of glanced it on 6's but i would need like all 4 of them to it and it really wasnt dishing out much damage. I think i saved all of his dark lance shots with cover saves and his rolling 1 's and 2's to hit half the time. I think the warriors fitted nicely with what he was going for but he kept changing targets so quickly if he would of wiped my lootas before the razorwing came in i would have been royally screwed.

I really like deftcoptas and they did well when they came in but they were such high priority (which i guess saved my orks from getting wiped out of cover) that posion weapons just eat themm.

Owell, Ill tell him about vect with wytches = P
