WH 40K Battle Report - Orks vs Witch Hunters

February 13 , 2005

1000 points, Mission Search and Destroy, Gamma Level

A sunday battle against Ben and his new(ish) Witch Hunter List. Ben is a hard worker, so I wasn't too certain on this fight going in

I fielded…

Warboss Bob [cybork body, eavy armor, bionic bonce, choppa, power klaw)
Sluggas (19 boys with 2 rokkits and 1 bigshoota, 1 nob with pklaw, shoota, and big gob)
Shoota boys (13 boys with 3 bigshootaz, 1 nob with bigshoota and choppa)
Burna boyz (10 boys with 4 burnaz, 1 mek with burna, slugga, mek tools)
Gretchin (20 grots, 1 slavemaster with bigshoota, choppa, and squighound)
Buggy (twin linked rokkits, extra armor, red paint, grot rigger)
Killa Kan (extra armor, big shoota)
Killa Kan (extra armor, rokkit)
Looted Chimera (turret heavy flamer, hull heavy flamer)

And he had
stuff :-)

He won table edge, and I deployed first. I won the roll-off though, and I went first. WAAAAAGH!

Turn 1. Da boyz moved up, all unit advancing. The buggy and burna boy/bob bearing chimera moved up the left flank, and the rest of the army fired all they had at the vindicar assassin. Only one kan could see him, and put one wound. Bob screamed his fury and declared the Vindicar a dead man.

He also moved up, but much to my chagrin, the only shot he had was on the fully loaded chimera. The super-duper-cheese round from hell, penetrated the chimera, ignored the so beautifully placed extra armor, destroyed the vehicle, and killed 6 of the 10 burna boyz! Not a good start. His penitent engine charged up, but out of flamer range.

Turn 2. Da boyz held their ground, and instead opened up. The penitent engine was blasted by a kan, and Bob, still stunned from the burning Chimera, shouted to da boyz - kill dat git! With that, the vindicar fell to the shoota boyz (4 big shootas do wonders!). His storm trooper squad also lost to members. He ran a rhino up and popped smoke; and 4 grots died to frag grenade.

Turn 3. After holding their ground, da boyz advanced. The grots fired into the storm troopers, killing one, and another 3 were killed from big shoota fired. The buggy missed the rhino, much to our chagrin. He charged the immolator up, and the rhino. The storm troopers broke cover, and the sisters unloaded. Between the Sisters, and the Immolator, and the troopers, the grots were "cleansed" in the holy fire of the Emporer. One Kan (the big shoota kan) is stunned and immobilized.

Turn 4: The burnaz move up, and two fire burnaz at the rhino, and kill two sisters in its shadow. They assault the rhino, but fail to damage it. The sluggas move up,and shoot and assault the Immolator, stunning it and destroying the main weapon. The shootaz plug another sister. The walking Kan moves up, point blank smokes a sister with a rokkit, and charges. Due to faith points, they are have a 3+ invulnerable save, and no sisters die. The rhino tank shocks the slugaz, who pass their leadership with ease. He moves up, and the rapid fire storm troopers, and together only kill four sluggaz. Combat continues with the kan and the sisters, but one more stalemate thanks to the invulnerable save.

Turn 5: The shootaz fire into the immolator and stun it. The immobilized kan fires into the rhino, immobilizing it. The buggy ripped up,and buried a tire in the woods. Stuck, it fired, and stunned the rhino as well. The two remaining burna boyz charged the inquisitor, and flamed two of his retinue. They assaulted, but were both killed before they could swing. The shootas shook the immolator again, and the sluggaz assaulted the storm troopers and the sisters, wiping out the troopers, and killing two sisters. Bob also assaulted in, killing one sister. The two sisters who remained stuck it in, and the inquisitor and the Cannonness charged in against the sluggaz.

Turn 6: The Inquisitor swung first and killed a boy. Cannonness swung next, and killed two boys. Bob swung ,and killed another sister. After that, it was payback time, and da boyz (including the nob) simply shredded the Inquisitor, his two remaining retinue, a sister, and the Cannonness. The Cannonness survived with one wound, but fled, only to have Bob cut her down.
