Subject: [Pics]2k Orks Vs Space Marines: Tourney for Two Rnd 2. NOVA Missions
Lists will not be changed through the rounds so I won't repeat them to save me some typing. :p
Mission NOVA Scouring/ Search & Destroy Deployment
Space Marines use objectives 1-3 (Count the bosspoles) corresponding to their respective points value
Orks use objectives 4-6, being worth 1-3 points respectively.
Orks choose Primary Mission 1
Secondaries: Linebreaker, Slay the Warlord, Marked for Death
Marines choose Primary Mission 1
Secondaries: Linebreaker, Cull the Hordes, First Blood
Deployment
Spoiler:
Objective 1 is in the woods here, Objective 3 is in front of the building near the LSS (hidden from view by the trees)
Objective 5 is in the L shaped building ground floor. Objective 6 is over in the far back corner, behind the 2 story building, near the beer.
Objective 2 is near the woods here, Objective 4 is right up against the large building, you can barely see it above the yellow weirdboy.
Kommandos and beer held in reserve.
Initial Thoughts
Spoiler:
Orks: It's nice that my opponent starts off the game backed into a corner and not too far away either. Hiding in combat is still the game here. Bumrush with Stormboyz to keep him penned in and not give him a chance to go for the spread out objectives.
Marines: Deployment zones are tight and put the Orks uncomfortably close, can't just sit in the corner and try to shoot him out either since there's 3 objectives over there.
Orks win the roll to go first, Marines fail to seize
Turn 1 Orks
Spoiler:
Movement: Orks advance most units, Stormboyz get a 5 and 6 for their rolls (Steven: FML)
Biker Boss hangs back, that whole mess in the corner likewise stays put.
Psychic: Boyz in the corner Jump
No shooting of note.
Charge:
Zhad charges the Razorback, taking 2W OW. Stormboyz follow behind, 5 crashing into the ground. The other Stormboyz fail to charge the Ironclad (but are thankfully out of flamer range)
Jump Boyz charge the LSS off 'Ere We Go
Fight: Zhad puts 9W on the Razorback, Stormboyz finish it off. Zhad consolidates into the Ven Dread, SB are barely able to make it to the Captain.
Boyz crush the LSS and consolidate into the Scouts.
A great start for the Orks
Turn 1 Marines
Spoiler:
Movement:
A whole mess of trouble moves up to get a bead on the unengaged Stormboyz.
Ven Dread and the Scouts fall back (And the Captain should have too -Steven)
Shooting:
Wanna see a magic trick?
POOF
Wanna see the same trick?
In less magical news, Zhad makes his saves versus the black Razorback.
Charge: The Ironclad is too busy preening over his boxcar heavy flamer rolls to bother to make his charge
A Tac squad and LT charge Zhad
Scouts (which had fallen back, oops) charge the remaining Boyz
Fight: LT puts 2W on Zhad, Stormboyz use 2CP to interrupt and put 4W on Bike Captain, 3 die in return. Tacs put 2 more wounds on Zhad, Zhad mulches the LT. Cheaty Scouts kill 2 Boyz and put a wound on the Nob, Nob kills 2 Scouts. Marines earn CULL THE HORDE (Already?!?!)

Afterword
Spoiler:
This one was way closer than the score suggests. Both of us had barely anything left at the end and if it had gone to Turn 7 Orks would most likely have been shot off two more objectives. I was feeling pretty good after those Turn 1 charges, but damn he came back with some big shooting that put him right back in the game. Luckily he had no real way to get guys into my backfield. Overall a nice fight.
