I went to the Winter's Harvest tournament at Valhallas Game Store in Denver, Co over the weekend. It was a 3 round event with about 36 players showing up.
I'll apologize up front for some of the blurry pictures, but I figure a blurry picture is better than no picture. I was unable to finish painting my nurgle themed daemons so I took my tzeentch, slaanesh combo instead.
You can find game one here

He wins the roll off and decides to go first. Kanz, wagon, biker's, dread, and 1 trukk form a wall as close to the center as possible. He leaves 2 trukk boys back on the objective.
A note on the terrain: My opponent asked me how we should play the raised edges. I asked him how he would like to do it. He said he didn't want to have to make difficult terrain tests that would slow his army down and instead woul like to play them as dangerous but not difficult. I said sure and we started.
Orks Turn #1: Everything moves forward and run's. At this point he realizes that he has to make dangerous terrain checks for all the kanz, amazingly the entire game he only fails one. His nobs flank up the side of the table. Everything else pushed straight down the center.
Daemons Turn #1: I get in my preferred wave of plague bearers, 2 horros, 3 chariots and the fiends. I drop all the chariots in the bottom across from his objective hoping to kill off some kanz and divert his push. Well I succeeded in the second part but failed to kill a single can. The plague bearers dropped on my objective. One unit of horros dropped near my objective and the other near the table edge towards the center. Both fiend units dropped in the center to advance either on the nobz or the meganobz.
My initial set up.
Here's a close up at my attempt to draw off the ork kanz.
Orks Turn #2: He loses a kan to a
dt test and then he assaults 2 of my heralds with the kanz (separate combats). Shooting see's a couple of plague bearers die.
Daemons Turn #2: I get in the masque and 2 grinders, all of them come in off the icon in hopes of killing off the biker nobz. I also get a unit of horrors that drop near his objective, they take out the forward trukk. The masque bunch's them up but I'm only able to kill off 2 of the nobz betwen saves on the warboss and cybork saves. One unit of fiends charges the deff dread and wreck it the other charges a unit of kanz, stripping off guns and stuff, but not killing any of the. The first herald goes down to massed kan attacks.
I was all excited you can see my large blast template, and unfortunately all the biker nobz still left.
The orks took the bait!
I made a mistake here I should have turbo boosted my last chariot away from the kanz instead I moved it up to take the side shot on the battle wagon. I guess it ensured the kanz stayed out of the fighting but I think my opponent would have just charged into the other herald locked in combat with the other two kanz.
Orks Turn #3: His kanz charge my 3rd herald. His battle wagon moves up and he uses his zzap gun to destroy a soul grinder, the nobz move up and shoot and then assault the masque and kill her. I manage to destroy 2 out of 3 of the kanz with my fiends and they hit and run out of combat.
Daemons Turn #3: I get in the last grinder and a unit of flamers. I drop the last grinder near his objective and blow up a trukk. The flamers drop in and flame the nob's, through good roles and wound allocation I don't remove a model (he's down to 3 bikes and the warboss). My grinder's pie plate scatters harmlessly away. The grinder assaults the nobz and snips off the warboss's head, the nobs in return immobilize the grinder and remove a dreadnaught weapon. A unit of fiends rush's the two kan units attacking my heralds (I kill off one kan from each unit). The other unit of fiends assaults the orks that were dismounted from their trukk, the battle wagon, and the kan they were attacking. I manage to blow up the trukk and reduce the boyz mob to 3 guys.
Ork's Turn #4: The meganobz assault the fiends killing a most of them. The last two hit and run out of the combat. His dismounted boyz assault the grinder, do no damage and lose two. I lose another herald. But he's down to 1 unit with an immobilized kan, and the other unit has one kan left, I hit and run out of the combat to go towards his objective. The biker nobz rip the other arm off the dreadnaught, but not before he kills another one of them.
Daemons Turn #4: I deep strike the last horror unit in right next to his objective, they scatter 3 inch's away and shoot and blow up the last ork trukk. The unit of fiends that assaulted the kanz, now rips into the newly disembarked boyz mob and wipes them out. The other unit of boyz remains locked with my soul grinder. I shoot the sole remaining member of the other boy unit fighting the fiends and put a wound on the nob. The flamers jump up and fry the meganobz and the mek boy (killing all of them). The fiends assault into the biker nobz. Do a wound but the nobz take out the grinder.
Orks Turn #5: His kan continues to advance towards my objective. In the biker combat I take a couple of wounds on the fiends. My last grinder continues to squish boyz.
Daemons Turn #5: The fiends kill off the boyz attacking the grinder and my horror's secure his objective. The fiends kill a biker and the last biker runs away. I move my plague bearers forwards to block his can off from my objective.
Orks Turn #6: His kan assaults my plague bearers. He waaghs so he can rally his running nob biker (to preserve points).
Daemons Turn #6: The flamers try to take out the lone biker but he makes his test. Fiends assault in and try to rescue my last herald but can't take the kan down (although he doesn't get the herald either). My other fiends run in and kill the kan attacking my plague bearers.
So at the end of the game he has a biker nob and 1 kan from each of two of his kan units. I have 1 fiend, 1 soul grinder, 3 horror's, and the plague bearers above half, and one unit of fiends below half. Not enough for a massacre so I end up with a major and both of the objectives for 24 points (max was 27 points for the round).
