Deployment:
pitch battle
The
defeat put the orks nine points behind the lead. The next round was
against Denis, also fresh from ETC win with Germany. The mission of
getting scoring unit into the enemy deployment zone. Which suited the
marines with seven scoring units worth double points with five able
to deep strike into position.
Demunz
The
marines deployed the obliterators, terminators and princes in the
centre with rhino marines on either flank. The Orks replied by
deploying the Kans up front supported by shoota mobs with two slugga
mobs behind while the grots went as far away from the last as
possible from the marine heavy stuff.
Choppa Vs terminator
The
Marines when forward with the two rhino going flat out. Obliterators
and terminators opened fire on the kans destroying one and damaging
the others. The boyz opened fire on the rhino and missed with
everything. The next turn saw the arrival of the daemon bomb with the
greater daemon and three packs summoning near the kans. The lash
prince fired and pulled one shoota mob into assault range. The
daemons, princes, marines assaulted the kans and shootas boyz and
inflicted a world of pain, not many boyz were left standing but there
were boyz still standing which was important. In behind the shoota
boys waited sixty happy choppa boyz The orks Waaagh and assaulted,
two marine units were destroyed but the orks came of worse. In
reponse more daemons were summoned and the oblilerators charged four.
Four ork mobs the supporting Kans were in combat with the entire
chaos marine army in a combat that stretched from one table edge to
the other. The combat raged for four rounds. Obliterators dropped
like flies but daemons with a 5+ save seemed indestructible.
royal rumble
The fifth
mob finally arrived just in time to see the wall crumble. The combat
had fragmented and one mob had taken all the obliterators, some
terminators and some marines and was left on one table edge. While on
the other table edge the rest of the mobs and kans were gone. Seeing
the badly depleted daemon packs and marine squads the fifth mob
surged forward. But failed its assault into difficult terrain and hit
and destroyed a rhino. The Chaos marines assaulted back with
everything it had in the area, two HQ’s two elites, four troop
units. Over the next two rounds they destroyed the mob. Fustratingly
while the mob killed models it could not destroy squads. All the
marine units survived but six of them were down to one wound or
model left. The most of the survivors counted double. Giving the
chaos marines a health win.
Result,
Defeat 16-4

Mission;
capture the objectives. There were three objectives one in your
deployment zone worth one point. One in the table centre worth two
points and one in the enemy deployment zone worth four points.
Deployment;
Spearhead
The
German ETC team has cost me thirty out of forty points and any hopes
of an event win. This round was against Marian, Kayu’s other
clubmate using Kayu’s ETC list beefed up with Logan Grimnar and
with some tactical advice from Kayu before the game started. The
main feature of the table was a massive hill in the centre of the
table which was good because it blocked line of site but really bad
because it added an extra eighteen inches into the distance between
the two armies.
The orks
won the roll off and picked the side with the most cover to deny it
to the Wolves. The Meks, Shoota boyz, Kans and grots opted to set-up
with the choppa mobs in reserve. All of the wolves deployed in
response. The orks surged forward but found movement slowed by the
hill. The marines replied with frag missiles, since the kans were
hidden, but with limited effect. Two choppa mobs arrived and ran
forward behind the shoota boyz. The marines switched fire to the kans
who were now visible destroying one and damaging another. The Orks
kept pushing forward opting for distance over damage. The scouts
arrived and targeted a kan mob destroying one. The Orks replied with
the grots and surviving kan firing on the scouts killing two then
assaulting the survivors who being wolves proceed to beat up the
grots quite badly. The rest of the orks surged forward. The marines
started to reform to prepare for the treat. Long fangs pummelled the
kans. The shoota boyz opted to slow down and open fire decimating
two grey hunter squads. While the choppa boyz moved in behind them.
The third choppa mob arrived and moved passed the embattled grots
ready to help them if they could not finish of the scouts. The Long
Fangs Started to destroy the kans while the rest of the wolves
exchanged fire with the shoota boyz.
Wolf scouts Vs grots
The boyz
opted to waaagh and four mobs hit the wolves lines. The marines
counter attacked with Logan and friends while the rhinos sped forward
to contest the centre objective. The combat raged for several turns
with the marines eventually winning but not before losing the rune
priest, a dreadnought and a couple of Grey hunter packs. One orc mob
broke through but was hunted down by logan and friends and destroyed
on the last turn to secure the marine object. The final Ork mob
assaulted the rhinos, support by the surviving kans. The rhino were
killed destroyed with the added bonus nothing exploded. The game end
with the Orcs holding two objectives (their own and the centre)
while the marines had inflicted more casualties.
Result;
Draw 10-10
Overall the boyz finished in the top half of the pack. Hamburg still counts as my best venue in Germany at the moment. So much eye candy
