Turn starts by rolling for reserves. The Orks failed to bring on both the 30 boy mob and the Burna Bomma. The White Scars rolling successfully for the assault terminators and a the bikes, while the tactical squad in their rhino stayed in reserves. The Bikes were able to outflank and came in behind the Predator Anniliator. The Terminator’s attempted to deep strike behind the Rhino and Lascannon Dreadnaught. The resulting scatter put them on top of the Rhino, a 1 is rolled for the mishap chart and the poor terminators are lost forever to the warp. The two ork mobs move forward, with the middle mob getting one of the boys within base to base with the relic. The assault marines jumped out of the ruins. The resulting dangerous terrain check killed one of the Marines and put a wound on the chaplain.

The landspeeder attempts to use its MultiMelta on the dreadnaught and fails to hit. The Razorback is more successful, and is able to destroy the a twinlinked lascannon and remove a hull point from the dreadnaught. Khan and his bikes shoot at the Crowe, scoring 3 wounds that are all saved. On the other end of the board, the Attack Bike’s Multimelta fails to hit the rear armor of the Predator, but 2 bolters are able to get a glancing hit. The remaining Deffkopta shoots at the dreadnaught, scoring a hit but failing to get past it’s armor. Finally the looted wagon tries to shoot at the rhino on that end of the board, the resulting scatter puts it on top of the dreadnaught, scoring only a glance and taking it down to 1 remaining hull point.

The first assault was with the furthest boys from the relic going for one of the lead grey knight rhino. The resulting overwatch kills none, but the mob failed to reach the rhino and thus nothing happens. The assault Marines are able to assault 9” into the same rhino and don’t face overwatch. The resulting combat sees 5 hits resulting in 3 penetrating hits and wrecking the rhino. There’s no explosion and the purifiers are able to get out, and do so in front of the mob of boys in the middle of the table. Finally Khan’s squad assaults Crowe. Overwatch fails to hit. Crowe challenges Khan, and Khan accepts. Khan produces 3 wounds, including rolling a 6 on one causing instant death. Crowe fails 2 of his saves, including the one from the instant death attack. He activates Heroic Sacrifice and kills Khan as he dies. Slay the Warlord to both sides.

Score at the end of the turn: 2-1 (Space Wolves/Grey Knights)

The Purifiers from the destroyed rhino fire at the middle mob of boys and kill 2. The purifier squad in the red ruins decide to run and get out in the open. The Grey Hunters that disembarked from the far rhino shoot at the bikes, the plasma guns kill 2 and the bolters kill 1 more. The resulting morale check sees them fail, and they run 9” directly forward towards the predator. A dangerous terrain check does nothing to either. Their rhino, fires at the far mob of boys and kills 1. The dreadnaught in the ruins fires at the bikes causing no wounds. The one armed dreadnaught fires at the assault marines, causes 2 wounds both of which are saved. Finally the Long Fangs fire at their missile launchers at the razorback and are able to wreck it.

They are now locked in combat.

Score at the end of the turn: 2-1

Bad luck continues with Ork reserves as neither the boys or the Burna Bomba come in this turn. They declare a Waaagh!!! The White Scars succeed in bringing in their last squad and are able to outflank and deploy them near the long fangs. The battle wagon moves up and the burna boys deploy and move forward. The mob of boys not in close combat move toward the red ruins and the Purifier squad inside. The Sternguard are able to move up and occupy fire positions in their ruins, while the Assault Marines move towards the building with the long fangs.

The looted wagon attempts to kill the wolf guard and the rune priest, but the ordnance scatters backwards and lands on top of the Purifiers and Orks locked in close combat, 1 Purifier and 4 boys die in the blast. The bikes automatically regroup and fire their multimelta shot into the side of the Predator, the explosion fails to wound the attack bike or the biker. The mob not in combat fires at the purifiers in the red ruins, 60 shots result in 20 hits resulting in 11 wounds. 9 of those wounds are saved, and 2 more Grey Knights die. The Stern Guard shoot at the Wolf Guard and Rune Priest. The resulting fire causes 3 wounds, 2 failed saves, and 2 failed Look Out, Sir! rolls later and the Rune Priest dies.

Finally the Rhino that came in from reserves fires its storm bolter, and the marines inside fires to kill both of the Heavy Bolter Long Fangs. The ensuing morale check is failed. This causes the Marines to leap from the third floor, and the fall kills one more Long Fang. The Sgt and 2 remaining missile launchers fall back 9”.

The assault phase opens with the Assault Marines attacking the Grey Knight dreadnaught. Overwatch does nothing and the combat is then fought to a nil-nil draw, locking the two units in close combat. The combat in the middle continues between the Purifiers and the ork mob. The Grey Knights are able to kill 2 before the orks get their attack. 4 wounds caused by the boys, results in one death before the final initiative step GKs get 0 hits. The GKs win by 1, the morale check is failed, but only because of the -1 to leadership for the wounds caused. The Orks then get overrun as they try to flee and the Grey Knights consolidate in base to base with the relic. Finally the other mob of boys assault he Purifiers from the red ruins. Overwatch is able to kill 2 boys. The Grey Knight’s attempt to use their Psychotroke grenades to no effect, the same can’t be said for Cleansing Flame. The psychic test is passed, and the resulting attack kills 14 boys. With the help of the Waaagh!! The orks are able to wound 9 but the Grey Knights save 7 of them. An attempt to Look Out, Sir! is made on the Inquisitor but it fails, and she’s now down to 1 wound. The boys fail their morale check and are able to avoid getting overrun so the purifiers consolidate.
