| Hello and welcome once again to TOTG I not been painting my Blood Axes this month, mainly due to lazyiness (i'm turning into Yellowfish ARGH!!!) and having to paint my Tau for the sites Army Features The other problem i've suffered is a lack of money to buy what I wanted (both last months and this months), but rather then look at what I haven't got, i'll look at what I have got, and what I do have is this, over 1600pts of Orks: HQWarboss - Mega Armour, Mega boosta, Blasta, Shootier, More Dakka, Iron Gob, Stikkbomb Chucka7 Nobz - 4 Mega Armour, 3 Combi Skorchaz, 4 More Dakkaz, 3 Choppaz, Big Shoota, 2 Sluggaz, 2 Eavy Armour, 4 Stikkbomb Chuckas, 3 Frag Stikkbombz Elites11 'Ard Boyz - 3 Burnaz, Slugga and ChoppazNob - Choppa, Big Shoota, Eavy Armour 12 Stormboyz- Frag Stikkbombz, Slugga & Choppa Troops10 Burna Boyz - 4 BurnaMekboy- Choppa, Kustom Force Field, Eavy Armour,Frag Stikkbombz, Supa Stikkbombz 19 Slugga Boyz- 1 Big Shoota, 2 Burnas Nob- Power Claw, Slugga, Eavy Armour 12 Shoota Boyz - 3 Rokkit Launcha Nob - Big Shoota, Choppa, Eavy Armour 30 Grotz - Grot Blastas Slaver - Big Shoota, Eavy Armour, Frag Stikkbombz, Tankbustabombz Heavy SupportKilla Kanz- 2 Rokkit Launcha, Big Shoota, Armour Platez3 Big Gunz - Kannonz Though I didn't buy any models this month or last month, I did manage to get a lot of models for free from a mate: 30 or so Grots (plastic, afew Metal) Zzap gun (w/ crew) Killa Kan (skorcha) Dreadnought (new style, Rokkit Launcha, Big Shoota) The problem at the moment is that they painted, and trying to follow the paint striping article, i've tried to obtain Simple Green, but so far have not been ordered. Well onto the gaming part, so deciding to break off from using the Death Skull rules, I managed to get a game in versus Yellowfish (oh, it were a battle of wits alrite), a 1,250pt Patrol Mission: (note: i borrowed a Stormboy Nob and Squig from my 'Freakz, and 7 LOTR Mordor Orcs for use as Grots) 1,250pt LISTHQWarboss - Mega Armour, More Dakka, Mega BoostaElites11 'Ard boyz- 3 Burnaz, Slugga and ChoppaNob - Choppa, Big Shoota,Frag Stikkbombz 11 Stormboyz - Slugga and Choppa Nob - Choppa, Power Claw, frag stikkbombs Troops19 Slugga Boyz - Big Shoota, 2 BurnazNob - Big Shoota, Choppa 12 Shoota Boyz - 3 Rokkit Launchaz 30 Grots Slaver - Big Shoota, Squighound 10 Burna Boyz - 4 Burnaz Mekboy - Choppa, Kustom Force Field Heavy Support3 Killa Kanz - 2 Rokkit Launchaz, Big Shoota, Armour PlatezTotal 1,255pts (he allowed 5pts over) YF has posted his army list in his article here. Deployment: With only 1 unit each, YF choose a Rhino-mounted squad (hehe, now i'm doing it) and deployed it behind a bunker, I choose my Shoota boyz, as i thought the 3 Rokkit Launchas would give me an advantage damaging his Rhinos, I deployed them far forward. Turn 1  With no reserves this turn and YF getting first turn, it was a short turn. YF did nothing this turn, I took a pot shot at the one rhino with my 3 Rokkit Launchas, but all went astray. Turn 2  YF started with rolling for his reserves, getting his rhino-mounted Possessed and foot combat squad. YF had now decided to go on the offensive, he raced his 2 Rhinos across the board as fast as could, but no shooting or assault took place. For my reserves I got my 'ard Boyz, Grotz, Burna Boyz and Killa Kanz. I choose to move my Shoota Boyz back a bit to give me a better chance of no getting into an assault. I moved all my other units forward, putting the Killa Kanz in range of the Kustom Force Field. For shooting I opened fire on the Rhinos with every I could, but 3 Big Shootaz and 4 Rokkit Launchaz didn't phase the incoming Chaos warmachine. Turn 3  The Assault! YF had rolled his reserves and got his Lord and support squad. The 2 Rhino-mounted now moved once again towards my lines, and disembarked, ready to assault my Shoota Boyz. He had no shooting, so went onto the assault phase. I lost many Boyz with kills for my own, but my Orkz held. For my reserves I only got my Warboss, better late then never. Moving my forces to assaulting units. Shooting did nothing (I sense a pattern?) so we went to the assault phase. My 'ard Boyz charged along side my Killa Kanz. The combat turned out to be a little downer, no major losses on either side. Turn 4  YF had only had his Dreadnought left in reserve, I wasn't happy when he passed the reserve roll. With their passengers disembarked the Rhinos felt the need to run over something, namely the grots, but with unfortunatlly the grots when into hiding, and one of the rhinos shot dead the Squig. His foot combat squad and Lord advanced further. As for the combat, the 'ard Boyz finished off the normal CSM, and a few more Possessed fell, but I lost a killa Kan in doing so. In my turn I received my Slugga Boyz and Stormboyz, racing them as far as I could. My Slaver herded his Grotz. But my Warboss decided he didn't like the Rhino, and went for one, more accurately, the one the shot the Squig (so hard to find good help). The main combat went on, but only a few bits of damage was caused. The Warboss charged the Rhino, destorying it easily. A outsider of the game (the bloke in the grey coat) rolled for the random game length, but the game continued. Turn 5  With no resevres for either of us, the game went on. The Lord moved up alongside the foot combat squad, the dread advanced. The Rhino tank shocked the Grotz again along with the Warboss, and the Grots went hiding again but the warboss held. As for shooting, the blastmasters picked a fight with the Stormboyz, losing 8, but they stood fast. The Dread fired at the lone Slaver, killing him and any chances of getting the Grots back. Finally the Possessed has been wiped out, but I had lost alot of the 'ard Boyz in doing so. For my turn I decided to make a dering assault on the Lord with the remaining Stormboyz. My Warboss now utter sick of the sight of Rhinos decided to assault the remaining Rhino. For shooting, once again NOTHING HAPPENED! Onto assault, the Warboss ripped the Rhino with his Power Claw shouting "Dank Fek for dat" in furstation. The main combat, the Lord versus stormboyz was important, the Lord striking first, killing 3 Stormboyz and causing a wound on the Nob, but in return, the Nob made easy work of the Lord, killing in outright, the Nob consolidated into the foot combat squad. Turn 6  Now much happening now, the Dread advanced ever close, hoping to reach combat. The Blastmaster fired at the Killa Kanz, but only immobisled 1. The combat between Stormboy nob and combat squad was short, a lucky attack killed the Nob before he could attack, the squad consolidated backwards As for my turn, I advanced closer. For my shooting I managed to kill somthing! YAY! But only 2 Marines, dah well. With no combat the turn ended We then asked the same person to roll for Random Game Length, YF was shaking over its result:  All eyes watched as he rolled a 2. YF collapsed. Working out the Victory Points we found out I had just over 100VPs more, I had won! Yay. I also managed another game with this army list against the Grey Coat Bloke and his 13th Company. Rolling a Rescue mission, we fought, but due to his more mobile army and better skilled troops he won almost all combats and took all objectives (we roll for the objective after the game). A loss for me. Only 2 games, the force seems balanced. Learning points from the battles: 1. My firepower, although vast, was useless, parhaps getting in some big gun Kannons (frags scatter, no "to hit" roll). 2. More armour, I better make more use of Mega Armour, mainly of my models are being taken out with basic attacks. 3. More speed may help, parhaps a trukk boy unit or looted vehicle? 4. More Power Claws, the stormboy nob was the more efficentive model on the board Now for the buying part, well, with a lack of income, I need to get things I really need to get a Death Skull list, basically my second month purchasing ideas. I know I haven't done much for this month, but hopefully this will change in time for next month. so until next month goodbye, good health and happy gaming! Shas'o Sodit | |
