The rebellion on Blisstopia IV was in full swing when a mysterious hulk drifted into the system, seeing a chance to spread the mysterious "the leader", sent the star father and some food (cleverly disguised as cultists) to board it before it once again disappeared... After running the imperial blockade, the small transport shuttle docked with a cargo bay on the hulk..but someone appeared to be inside already...

Turn 2.
Ork Move.
The slugga boyz plow ahead into the scrap pile.
The Burna Boyz go chase the Fanatics around the Power Crystal.
Shooting:
The slugga boyz unleash a hail of lead but seem to have angered gork and mork..failing to down a single genestealer (since he was firing through the scrap heap we gave the genestealers a 6+ save as you would with firing through railing or a fence..2 wounds and 2 6's!)
Meanwhile the Burnas lets loose and incredible amount of fire..and incinerate two of the fanatics.
With the assault phase a bitter taste enters the orks mouth as they realise they are just oh so barely out of charge range of both the genestealers and the Fanatics..mutterings of "Dirty pool ole bean" are heard.
Cult Move:
The Genestealers move Directly at the Slugga Boyz
and the Fanatics fearlessly advance through the flames still smoldering before them.
Shooting:
Rebel fire kills another burna boy...

The Patriarch and his brood smash into the orks amidst the scrap
killing 3 and only losing one of their own. The Boyz fail a morale check but manage to make their Mob size check..stickin 'round fur nuvver go,
and the fanatics fare even better..slaughtering 2 Burna boyz and shrugging off the Meks attacks.
..Even slaughtering the Mek as he attempted to turn tail and flee..advancing on a massacre roll towards the Warboss.
Ork Turn 3:
Big Yeller has lil to do besides get stuck in, he ignores the trailing fanatic and dives straight at the Patriarch..
The Patriarch and Genestealers focus most of their rending claws at Big Yeller..but his mega armour and Cybork body leave him with 1 wound left..and despite the Patriarch using Hypnotic gaze..manages to level one S10 hit on him, instagibbing him. At the Horror the 20 Rebels break and run, fleeing off the board. 2 more orks and 1 more genestealer die.

With little to do the Fanatics charge into the broiling combat.
Big Yeller dies to a rending claw before he can mash sum 'stealers.. 2 more Orks Died and 2 more stealers..
Ork Turn 4..the end
In the assault phase the orks die to stealer claws before getting to fight back..
Cult Victory! Genestealers may now hide in the hulk..and await for someone to stumble upon it..
