So this isn't really a battle report just wanted to let everyone know what just happened.

I just was part of a 3 way 1500pts each free for all take and hold mission where i got whipped out in 2 turns and so did the nids where the orks only took 1 wound.

first turn the nids go and hit my greyhunters with 72 devourer shots from termiguants which kills 8 and cause the other two to run off the board, then his 2 Carnifex kill 7 of my other grey hunters on the other side of the board and cause them to run off the board as well.... not a great start to a game thats take and hold :( then his two zonthropes use warp lance on my predator and immobilize it. he also ran his group of warriors and tyranid prime towards the second grey hunter squad (now dead and running) which also had a land raider with 14 blood claws lukas the trickster and a wolf priest .

so he ends his turn and im anxious to get him back so my land raider run up in front of his warriors and unloads its TL AC into them killing one right out and wounding another. then my bloodclaw burst out and assualt them getting about 60 attacks and killing 3 more (leaving three left) Also used my long fang that had 5 missile launchers 3 at the guants and 2 at nob bikers killing about 5 guants and not hurting the nobs at all. My predator shot at the zoanthropes with its autocannon but was to no avail with that bloody 3++ save they have.

then it was the orks turn and they ....... sat there and did nothing they held two objectives anyway although old Zogwart managed to some how kill DoM which made me happy cause it was looking at me.

then nids turn again, the guants run to my long fang and kill them off and his zoanthropes finish off my predator with an explosion big enough to kill!!!! ..... 2 guants, o the joy i felt with that. Next his carnifex run into the combat with the blood claw and warriors, first lukas attacks add causes 3 wounds on the warriors killing 1 and leaving the other with wounded. Then the wolf priest landed three wounds so only one remained with one wound out of the warriors. The blood claw turned there attention to the carnifex before they could get a hit it and managed to do nothing...... haha then the two fex got 10 attacks and killed 7 leaving lukas the wolf priest and a wolf claw with a power fist, the the power fist struck and caused two wounds to the carnifex it felt good.

not it was my turn and i decide to move my landraider away from combat and shot at the tervigon that was runnning up to the doomed wolf priest and lukas, ended up causing 4 wounds on it which was awesome. So back to the lukas and the gang so not lukas attacks the carnifex and ends up causing three wounds on the big bugs which made him feel good and the wolf priest ended the last warrior and as the last blood claw warmed up his powerfist the carnifex's struck and killed him and lukas but this caused lukas's heart to stop making his stasis bomb go off locking him the wolf priest, the unlucky bloodclaw, and both carnifex's in eternal glory my nid friend was surprised and not to happy about losing that much to the blood claw. with that though all i had left on the board was my land raider, but it was a glories way to end.

finally the orks woke up and decided to take part in the fight and pretty much walked through the field and killed everyone without any real casualties he won the game in this plus the next turn holding 4 of the 6 objectives and having no one else to kill.

I was kinda down most the game but the thing with lukas made it worth it to me cause that was the first time ever that his bomb has worked

Methinks the ork player is da smartest general there...let dem kill each other and we swoop in to cleanup and claim the credit.

In Lukas' battle, as he is not an independent character, you didn't have to allocate the hit to him as you still had 1 more bloodclaw so he could've lived for another turn, wait for the tervigon to enter the fray and then take out all 3 TMC's with his stasis bomb....maybe.

Sounds almost like America in WW2. Pratice isolation. Wait for war to take full effect then swoop in and clean up the mess. Great play by the Orks. I also took part in a 3 way game where me and one other opponet locked our forces on eachother and left the quiet 3rd party to win.

He was but because hes not i have to allocate as close to 50% of the wounds as I can and since they caused 7 wounds i had to put at least three on him but I was happy with the damage I did.

and part of the reason the ork didn't do anything is because where he deployed (because of dice rolls) caused him to be in a corner behind some impassable terrain so he couldn't reach anyone if he wanted to. haha but he still did the best obviously!
