using the ork codex there is the name, Tuf Nob - which is a rough fitting for glory. Another could be Mor Nob

Hey guys here is a simple battle report. i have over 30 photos...so ya not all of them on making it on here.
Anyways here is the deployment!

So what you see is the deployment
Here is what happens

Game orks get Feel no Pain near objective trait, guard get ferious charge in enemy deployment.

Turn 1 - orks deploy first
Orks move up the middle nothing exciting, lots of climbing onto the fortress of redemption.
Lootas kill 4 fire warriors.
Bikes move up the flank and kill 8 guard, fail to charge, no over watch damage.
Turn 1 - guard
Everything fires into the bikes, scoring first blood.
Fire warrirors kill 4 orks moving in the open.
Guard rounds the corner and kills even more orks!
Turn 2 - Orks
Squad inside in the fortress of redemption hop out charging through the back door guns blazing into the guard
Lootas finish off the fire warrior squad
Orks charge up around the fortress gunz blazing into the guard, the Manz charge up the ramps of the fortress killing some guard.
Assult - the both guard squads are annihilated except for the one in assault with Manz and Boyz - commisar says no i am stubborn!
Turn 2 - Guard
The the chimera is surrounded!
Tau Shash'o suit deep strikes in!
Squads shuffle around and fire rips out everywhere!
The large squad of 20 orks drops to 3! losing nob, but stick hard
Assault - suit jumps away, orks finish of the commissar.
Turn 3 - Orks
Ork movement moves up towards the center chimera surrounding it move 3 man squads banks left towards the tower of constrained guard.
6 ork boys and 1 nob kill the chimera via glancing! The warlord of the guard hops out! Their pinned!
MANZ surprized at the boys work turn around and maim a platoon command squad in shooting.
Lootas, kill a platoon command squad across the board
The three boyz that banked left, turn and kick the guard commanders teeth in. He runs away like a little girl.
Turn 3 - Guard
Guard attempt to regroup and bolster their flank, a Vet squad makes a back behind the other side of the fortress to claim a objective.
Shooting sees the 3 boy ork squad die. Nothing else
Assault, the suit runs away.
Remaining platoon squad breaks for a run to the objective with nothing but a hwt and a vet.
Turn 4 - Ork
The boyz chase the platoon squad going for a objective
The Manz push hard towards the other objective
Ork warboss breaks off and stands on top of the chimera (to split shooting of course)
Manz kill and break the remaining guard squad
Lootas get a lucky sight on the fleeing platoon command running from the boyz and butcher the HWT, the commander runs off board.
Turn 4 - Guard
The vets make a break for the objective - lootas have line of sight so he hides behind the wall out of sight waiting for turn five.
The chimera attempts to block the Manz from the objectives going sideways.
The crysis HQ helps.
Shooting is in effective on the MANZ
Turn 5 - Orks
Make a break for the objective the platoon command was with the boys. - they fall short by 1 inch! (including run)
Ork warlord trips and dies off the chimera. - effectively tying the warlord kill pt!
Manz kick Tau Hq face in and the chimera killing both and capping a point! - MANZ MERIKA! was yelled.
Turn 5 - Guard
With only but a lowly vet squad left, with the objective watched by 10 lootas make a dash for the objective!
They make it on the objective.
The game Ends! - he rolled a 1 to continue.
Guard VP
Line breaker, Warlord (even tho he killed himself), First Blood, Objective
Orks VP
Line breaker, Warlord (chap deserved it), Objective.

Guard win by 1 VP
If your curious kill point wise:
Orks - 2(platoons) + 2(platoon command) + 2(chimeras) + 1(fire warriors)+ 1 (Tau Hq) = 8 kill points
Guard - 1 (Warboss who tripped) + 1 (Boyz squad) = 2 kill points
its was a narrow loss, if the game went on, the guard would have been tabled!
But it was a good and close game all the way.
(however slightly tailored the guard list was.(Flamers galore about 8 in the list? with lots of huge template (taus)))

Looking groovy as always. A further though on heads: have you considered Kromlech's Confederate Ork heads?

no but i will look at that!


just looked into it, it doesnt really fit. If i was shooting for the south id go for it, but for the most part i feel the heads to comical in the grim dark.

Nice job, It was a good try! I hate playing guard so much!

Thats the spirit man. Never give up. Youll figure out how to kick some teef in, just stick with it "an giv it anuva go!"

All that awesome terrain with no paint makes me sad. I can't offer any gaming advice because I don't know how to play, but try wiping out a unit at a time. He can't take obj's if his guys are all dead.

always willing to give it another go! extra so when they only win because of first blood and mr warboss being drunk

I am sorry the terrian wasnt painted, i know it is sad. (alot of his guys were dead, was counting on me making a 3+ to run, the game continuing on a 3+, and my war boss not falling a 2+, 2+, but these things happen)
Luck will win a game, just not all the games.

Belated for the heavy bolter/big shoota conversions - it's on my list to try that, so it's nice to see how well it works.

Thanks mate! i am working on getting more. Also welcome to the thread.

So i been painting wolves favorite. Here is wolve. Please vote on this picture, i would like it so.

the banner looks sweet... reminds me of FO... very spiritual...

but the lower half and the gun arm look far from finished?

tho this might be due to the lighting... that mini deserves much better in terms of light....

i know the lighting was poor, but what do you mean by half fanished? to me the muzzel is warm and power is flowing, on the chainsaw bit i don't like to do blood splatters, it gets old. But by all means please describe what you mean.

Here is more lit gun arm shots.

well both lighting situations kinda swallowed the different colors of the trousers and the boots...

if one were to cobble the pics you already showed i bet we would see it as you in RL... maybe you take a daylight pic...? so that we can better see it in it´s full and true glory?
