Turn 1

Orks rolled to go first and the deffkopters made their scout move by turbo boosting 24” and ended up 12” away from godhammer carrying the thunder hammer terminators and chaplain.

In the first turn all orks moved forward, apart from the two loota units – one loota unit was deployed in a ruin, another deployed in the naked battlewagon with the big mek. One of the trukks moves the full 18” and passes a terrain test, the other hides behind the nobz’s battlewagon.

In the ork shooting phase the lootas in the battlewagon popped the sternguard rhino and earned the orks the first kill point. The stompa fired ordnance at the razorback behind the sternguard rhino and popped it, it then fired the gigashoota and killed the entire squad. Two of the deffkopters fired at a razorback behind the thunder hammer terminators land raider and scored a immobilised result, the other deffkopter fired at the land raider itself and scored a crew shaken result – though no good against POTMS!



In the fists first turn the sternguard moved behind a bastion for cover and out of line of sight. All tanks move 6” in order to fire as many weapons as possible.

Crusaders multimelta fires at the nobz battlewagon, but only scores crew shaken. Plasma tactical squad in the other godhammer land raider fires at the stompa, but no damage and pops a speeding ork trukk. The trukk barrel rolls and blocks the hammer terminators land raider LOS on the two deffrolla battlewagons. The crusader uses the rest of its weapons to gun down the trukk boyz along with help from the heavy bolter combat squad and missile launcher combat squad. The second missile launcher squad in a bastion fires a krak at the side armour of a battlewagon but does no damage. Two dethkopter’s are killed and another is wounded.

Kill points so far are orks 3 and fists 4.



Turn 2

All ork forces move forward, except for the lootas in the ruin. The lootas in the battlewagon move forward and are immobilised in terrain. The stompa also moves through terrain but only rolls a 3 out of the 3D6. The last trukk moves 18” and the two deffrolla wagons move through terrain, but both pass terrain tests ok. The warboss and nobz stay in the battlewagon.

In the ork shooting turn the solo dethkopter attempts to pop the immobilsed razorback but no damage. The stompa fires the deth cannon at the godhammer land raider carrying the tactical squad, but scatters and misses. It fires two super rokkits but does no damage either. Lootas in the ruin fire at the last working razorback and pop it.

No assaults for the orks, but they are now on the fists door step!



The plasma tactical squad bails out the godhammer land raider and moves into terrain for cover. All remaining transports move 6” so at least the orks are hitting on 4+ instead of auto hit against vehicles in combat.

In the shooting phase the hammer terminators godhammer land raider splits fire, one shot fires at a battlewagon with a deffrolla but does no damage. Second shot is fired at the trukk and it is popped. Other godhammer fires at the stompa, but does no damage. Plasma squad rapid fires plasma gun at the stompa, scores a crew shaken result, so as per apocalypse rules attacking player chooses and the super skorcha is chosen not to fire. Both combat squad with meltas fire at the deffrolla battlewagons but no damage. Krak rocket fired from the squad in the bastion at the nobz wagon, but no damage. Heavy bolter squad fire at the boyz blown out the trukk, the other missile launcher squad fires at frag at them killing more boyz. The last deffkopter is also gunned down.

In assault the captain and assault terminator bail out the crusader and charge the boyz, all are slain except for the nobz, which fails morale test and falls back 7”.

Kill points currently are orks 4 fists 6



Turn 3

Warboss and nobz bail out the battlewagon and eye up the captain and assault terminators. Stompa moves forward as the foot of the terrain the plasma tactical squad is in. Lootas in the battlewagon bail out as cannot draw line of sight to anything and plan to re-locate. Boyz in both battlewagons bail out and plan to put the hurt in.

In the shooting phase the boss and nobz fire at the captain and terminators but score no wounds. One meltagun combat squad is gunned down by loota fire in the ruin. One mob of boyz fire at the other squad and cause two kills, the other mob of boyz fire rokkits at the godhammer carrying the hammer terminators, but no damage.

In assault both boyz nobz charge the units they shot at, godhammer is ok but combat squad is wiped out. Warboss and nobz charge the terminators and captain, nobz take a few wounds but due to wound allocation all have to be wounded before one is removed, though the captain and terminators have worse luck and are all killed :( . Stompa assaults the godhammer land raider which the plasma tactical squad bailed out, and its toast!



The sternguard move from around the bastion and aim at the boss and nobz. The crusader moves away from the stompa not wanting to share the same fate as the godhammer and aims at the boss and nobz too. The last godhammer carrying the chaplain and thunder hammer terminators moves forward and eyes up the stompa. The chaplain also detaches from thunder hammer terminators and exits the godhammer land raider.

In the shooting phase the sternguard (using hellfire rounds), crusader and heavy bolter combat squad put the hurt on the warboss and nobz. Two nobz are removed after wounds. The plasma tactical squad guns down the lootas in terrain, leaving just two lootas left and the big mek – they fail the morale test and fall back 12”. The last godhammer fires at the stompa and claims its first structure point! The chaplain fires combi flamer at the nobz but fails to kill any after feel no pain rolls.

In assault the thunder hammer terminators charge and claim another structure point from the stompa and score a weapon destroyed, the titan close combat weapon is chosen. No terminators suffer any wounds. The chaplain charges the nobz, scores no wounds and is slain by the warboss.

fists are now loosing with 7 kill points and the orks 9.



Turn 4

The warboss detaches from the nobz unit and goes towards the crusader, the stompa follows. One mob of boyz jump back in the battlewagon, the other unit moves through terrain and eyes up the missile launcher squad. The other deffrolla wagon attempts a ram on the godhammer land raider, luckily no damage and the wagon receives none either. The big mek and last two lootas fall back 7” and off the board. The solo nob which the captain and terminators left surviving moves back 7” and is nearly off the board.

In the shooting phase the lootas in the ruin gun down the missile launcher squad in the bastion. The boyz on foot fire at the missile launcher squad which are in a ruin and score no wounds.

In assault the nobz charge and kill all but one sternguard, the sternguard chooses to fail morale test and fall back, but falls back off the board! :( . Warboss charges the crusader and pops it.



The fists, now taking a pounding are hoping to claw things back. The last godhammer moves into a position and targets both the nobz battlewagon and the immobilised loota wagon.

In the shooting turn the godhammer splits fire and fires the nobz wagon and the lootas wagon, scores no damage on the lootas wagon and scores crew stunned on the nobz wagon. Heavy bolter squad gun down the warboss and the plasma squad guns down the last of the nobz.

In assault the hammer terminators charge the stompa, only crew stunned and shaken results several times over so it can’t fire anything apart from the rear big shoota. One terminator is also killed.

Kill points are now orks 12 imperial fists 11.



Turn 5

Boyz in terrain shooting at the missile launcher squad fire and kill them all. Lootas pick off and kill a assault terminator.

Stompa assaults the hammer terminators, scores no wounds and loses a structure point.



The godhammer land raider splits fire again at the two wagons it previously shot at, but no significant or no damage at all to either. Plasma squad fire at the stompa, but scores no damage with either plasma weapon.

In assault the terminators charge the stompa, but again score nothing but crew stunned and shaken results and stop it firing a few weapons.

Kill points are now orks 13 and fists 11.



Turn 6

One of the battlewagons can target the heavy bolter squad which is in a bastion, they fire and kill along with giga shoota fire from the stompa.

The stompa assaults the terminators, scores no kills and its last structure points remains.



Plasma squad moves through cover, and pops the immobilised loota wagon. Assault terminators charge the stompa, they fail to claim its last structure points and are killed themselves.



Orks win with 15 kill points to 14.

good battle! poor luck with attacking the stompa tho :(

Yea awesome report..
I have to ask tho, why send your Chappy into the Nobs and warboss? Wouldn't you rather have had re-rolls to hit for your termies attacking the stompa?

Nice report. I'm suprised that your stompa didn't kill stuff. Why did you split up your deffkoptas? zit seems like you just gave him more kill points.

Good Report! It looks like the stompa was the MVP!

Perhaps a bad idea at the time. Though those nobz were a pain and I was hoping to burn some and smack them with the chaplains power weapon. I don't think was the best idea thinking about it.

I was playing as Imperial Fists, the stompa was against a full mech marine army so the transports need to be popped and when that ordnance scatters and misses it does bugger all!

Deffkopters might give more kill points, but can target more things and cuase more destruction.

Aye MVP - not sure what that means as I'm no longer street savvy lol

hmmm i needs me an ork army like that

MVP = Most Valuable Piece --taken from the Most Valuable Player in US sports reports.

Sounded like a really fun outing.

The battle report was quite interesting and really close. Also I have to commend you, you actually posted the opponets list I love to see the actual list and not Some of this and IDK what that was.

Again Great battle report!
