WH 40K Battle Report - Orks vs Nurgle vs The weedy Imperium!

January 18, 2005

1500 points, Mission Take and Hold, Alpha Level

There were three of us this week, and it was decieded to do another three way free for all, with a bunker situated dead center on the table for the objective.

My opponents were the mixed Imperial army (Inquisitor, sisters squad, storm troopers, 2 dark angel squads, vindicator, predator, dreadnought, bikes), and Nurgle (2 tac squads with rhinos, possessed, deamond prince, predator, land raider

As I already has a 1500 point list boxed and ready from last weekends battle against the necrons, well I figured this should be good enough. Here's the list again.

I fielded…

Warboss Bob [cybork body, eavy armor, bionic bonce, choppa, kombi shoota/skorcha)
Sluggas (20 boys with 1 burna and 1 bigshoota, 1 nob with pklaw and choppa)
Shoota boys (11 boys with 3 bigshootaz, 1 nob with bigshoota and choppa)
Tankbustas (9 boys with 3 rokkits, 1 nob with rokkit and choppa)
Ardboyz (14 boyz with 3 burnas, 1 nob with pklaw and choppa)
Buggy (twin linked rokkits, extra armor, red paint, grot rigger)
Trakk (kustom mega blasta, red paint, grot rigger, spikes and blades)
Buggy (twin linked Bigshootaz, red paint, grot rigger)
Kanz (2 with rokkits, one with big shootaz, all with extra plates)
Looted Lemen Russ (red paint, grot riggers)

I think for now, I'll let the pictures do the talking!

Ork Deployment. Just a wee bit packed in.

Imperial positions. His close proximity to the objective didn't help too much sadly.
Nurgle
See that front squad of DA marines? First turn 6 fall to a lemen russ template!
Ork movement, turn one.
Turn three the kans assaulted the inquisitor and his retinue, while the tankbustaz go after his ride.
ARRGH! The turretless lemen russ fails a looted roll, and gets hung up on this barricade for 3 turns. The battle wagon also got stuck, and stayed there until the game was over. Yes, that's a Vindicator right in front, but immobilized, and weaponless!
The kanz assaulted this nurgle rhino, but only immobilized it.
The Inquistor, having rallied after the kans krushed him, rallied, and came back to wipe out the tankbustas in a single handled assault!
These three stormtroopers, their faith apparently stronger than their common sense, as they size up and charge a 20 boy strong mob of Sluggaz!
They charge!
And two die. The last gets away, but wouldn't rally.
The deamon prince sizes up the two kanz kutting into the rhino.
But poor mister prince failed to calculate the effectiveness of a killa kan buzz saw!

Bob and the 'ard boyz unloaded and charged the remaining sisters....

And cut down all but one
The Posessed had taken the bunker, but here come the sluggaz! After chasing off the stormtroopaz, they wiped out the Inquisitor with a charge, and now headed towards the objective
The kanz kontinued their rampage ,and blew into this nurgle tac squad, killing 4 but loosing a kan the hidden powerfist.
Get'em ladz!
A second nurgle tac squad assaulted the remaing kan, but it lived long enough to kill two more nurgle marines. Regardless that both died, they did their job, and kept these two squads from the objective!
The sluggaz assault the bunka

 

Orks Win!
