Another batrep from our local tournament, this time I square off against Orks.
Not a super competetive Ork list, featuring two deff dreads and a Shock attack gun.

1250 pts Clan Raukaan vs Orks. I can't wait 'till this tournament is over and I can field a better list!

I love the fact that your Ironclad is named Dreadbert. Obviously a proud warrior.

Haha thanks. It certainly instills fear in my opponents!

Shock Attack Gun is generally a good shout versus 2+ armour. It certainly did plenty of damage against you! Good report, fun to read and engaging. I suggest that you take more table-wide photographs (standing on a chair is the usual method) to make it clearer what is happening. Also that you get a rhino for the poor honour guard

yeah, that thing hurt me a lot over the course of the battle!
in his previous battle against nid it actually cost him the victory as it teleported him into the nids at the last turn! xD

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep that in mind for the next batreps.
Yeah, they have a Razorback now and from there they will get 5 more battle brothers and then get to ride in a landraider.
That should fix it!

Great report! I think you amde the right call going for the Battlewagon instead of the Biker Boss as you stood a greater chance of destroying that than you did against a Toughness 6 model with a 4+ armour, 4+ cover and 5++. Nonetheless thank you for the report!

Yeah, I had to think long and hard about it though. Slay the warlord is always tempting, but I had do focus on getting first blood and getting rid of that scary looking Battlewagon
It would have tank shocked with its rolla had it survived.
