- Vindicare Assassin
We rolled up Big Guns Never Tire, with three objectives, which we placed all down the middle. We went with Dawn of War because other deployments are hard to play with in my cramped little kitchen. Here's the city of Skullingrad, before the battle started:
And with our forces in play:
Our forces were on the table, the mission to capture the central street was clear, and we went on with the battle! Turn 1 one of my trukks bogged down and the boyz had to get out:
While the gunz took aim at the chicken walker:
And the Grot Tanks opened fire on the Vindicare on top of the bastion, wounding him twice:
And Grotsnik directed Ol' Squiggly through the ruins:
One of my trukks rushed up alongside the Grot Tanks, and with a wealth of fire pouring out was able to bring down the VIndicare for First Blood. The Kannons blew away the Ironstrider, and the boyz on the right flank with the bogged down trukk put some fire into the Ruststalkers.
The turn ended with one Ruststalker going down to Ork shooting and the Orks advancing across most of the board.
They'd lost their assassin, their walker, and taken some fire across the board, but it was time for the Adeptus Mechanicus to strike back!
Aye, dis is a purdy nice view up here innit?
OY! WHO TRASHED ME TRUKK!?"
One Onager put an end to a Trukk. The Kastelan robots did their stompy robot thing and advanced:
beep. boop. beep beep boop.
They put a bunch of fire into the lead trukk:
Which they summarily also trashed:
OY! WHY'Z I WALKIN!?
The Skitarii use their weird and wonderful weapons to put four wounds down on Ol' Squiggly, leaving him with two:
The Ruststalkers try to charge my boyz in cover, but don't quite make it, losing one of their robobrethren to overwatch fire:
The tech-soldiers of the Adeptus Mechanicus have slowed the Ork advance, but will it be enough to stem the green tide?
With an ever-so-stealthy battlecry, a horde of Kommandos appears on the Ork turn!
We's real sneaky like, right boss?
While the Ork flank envelops the Mechanicus attackers.
The Orks place the Stalkers firmly in their sights:
Mad Dok Grotsnik, accompanied by Mutoid Mek and a bodyguard of Meganobz, dismount from Ol' Squiggly:
The Orks shoot up the Ruststalkers:
Get out of here, STALKER.
The grot tanks chew up the Kastellan robot before the boyz on that flank charge. The boyz are massacred but cause some damage.
beep boop. where is robodad. beep boop.
The Meganobz prepare for a disordered charge against both Skitarii units, which will cause them to take overwatch fire from both
We ain't scared-a nuthin!
Overwatch puts one wound on one Nob, and they make the charge!
The fight's a massacre, and the lone surviving Skitari runs offboard
Deez tinboyz is weedy! Bring me a real fight!
The Adeptus Mechanics forces are in trouble; their center has collapsed and while one flank has weathered the battle thus far, the Ork noose is tightening on the other. They try to protect their warlord while putting as much attention as possible on taking out the Meganobz.
The Onager and Kataphron troops try to protect their Techpriest:
While the Ruststalkers attempt to move in on the Meganobz:
destroy greenskin threat. beedeebeedeebeedee
The surviving Kastelan shoots up and charges the Grot Tanks. intending to carry out its revenge
robodad noooooo
The shooting from grav cannons and elsewhere kill three of the Meganobz and put wounds elsewhere in the unit:
The Ruststalkers charge the Meganobz, intending to do some damage:
Their squad leader is challenged by Grotsnik. He puts a wound on the Mad Dok, but is killed in return.
About time somebody put up a fight! Hurr hurr hurr!
The Meganobz wiped out the stalkers and consolidated towards the warlord and his little castle:
The Kastelan had killed a Grot Tank, and the surviving tanks drove off. Ol' Squiggly was closing in for the kill, ready to engage in some monster-on-monster action:
Which he promptly won.
With the Orks firmly holding the road and closing the noose on the Techpriest Dominus and his few remaining forces, we declared an Ork victory. The forces of the Adeptus Mechanics withdrew from the planet, and the Imperium deployed its deadliest weapon on Skullingrad, ensuring no Ork would walk its streets again:
The Sisko was a really fun dude to play, and I hope next time he's in town we can have a rematch - or hey, maybe even play that Horus Heresy game we've both sunk a bunch of money into!
Wheyy! Ork supremacy! Good report thanks, ill look out for the next one.
