Mission: Some goofy thing with variable gravity. Victory Points.
Report:
Ah, once again we lost the strategy rating, and the weedy zoggers chose the table edge. We deployed with the kanz and the grots leading the charge, and the russes providing long range fire support.

Turn 1:
They advanced forward, firing as they went.
The advancing battleline
My Russ was stunned by a predator, and a Kan took similar punishment from the other one. The whirlwind round screamed down, and blasted 3 grots and one slugga back to Gork.
Naturally we wouldn’t stand there, and we advanced as well, the kans moving up into cover with shoota boyz behind them.
Orks Advance
The kans dumped rounds into a black templar squad in front of them, killing enough to make test, and they passed and ran forward. The guntrukk moved up, and nailed one predator with the zzap gun, stunning that for the turn. The speed freak russ reached out, and killed three of five longfangs, Finally the tankbustas unloaded in the terrain next to the kanz, and destroyed the assault cannon on their venerable dreadnought, stunning it to boot.
We also realized that the whirlwind had to go. Zorbag jumped in his truck, alone, and zoomed down the table edge at full speed to deal with that threat.
Turn 2:
The whirlwind deviated off of the shootaz, but still managed to kill one. The predator that could fire shot into the kans, and stunned another Their squads continued to advance, and a full grey hunter squad assaulted the gretchin, despite my pleading that they not do that (I could see what was going to happen – the sluggaz were behind the grot screen….well, you get the idea).
No, not the Gretchin!
Look, you really don't want to assault those grots. Seriously.
Really, I'm not kidding here. Some folks just won't listen.
The assault went as planned. They charged in, and killed their zone clean (7 grots), the grots held, they all scrummed up.
Ork turn, the kans moved up through difficult terrain, and the sluggaz moved up past the gretchin close combat. The zzap gun truck blasted one predator to smithereens, and the rokkit toting tankbustaz immobilized the dreadnought, taking it pretty much out of the fight. My three kanz got a huge difficult terrain roll, allowing two of them to reach his terminators, emperor’s champion, and Chaplin that were about to countercharge the grot battle.
With a WAAAAGH! the sluggaz crashed into the grot combat, and wiped out all 10 Beakies to the man, only loosing 2 boyz and 3 grots in return. Again, rolling 66 choppa attack dice is just not a pleasant thing to see - if you’re on the receiving end. The kans killed two terminators, and lost a kan in return, but they weren’t going anywhere, so that combat was tied up. I got poor consolidation rolls for the sluggaz, so this was a good thing.
Zorbag jumped out of his truck, and proceeded to shred the whirlwind to little bits of metal. Bob wasn’t pleased, as he knew Gooba was looking for one of those, but hey – you can’t knock enthusiasm.
Turn 3:
Their remaining squads advanced, but by now only the predator was in the back field, and it bounced las cannon shots off the leman Russ. The terminator combat resulted in one more dead termi, and another destroyed kan, but that fight was going no where. More upsetting was a drop pod crashing right in the side of us, and 10 templars unloading. They must have had vapor in their helmets, though, as they failed their leadership test and couldn’t shoot the sluggaz, instead, the grots caught the worst of it, killing off all but 4, and they went to ground.
Oi! wher'd dey come from?
The sluggas and shootaz crissed crossed, the sluggaz and Bob slamming into the terminator close combat, and the shootaz opened up on the just unloaded templars. The grots rallied, of course, and gave the black power armored troops a very grave look.
Between the russ and shoota boy fire, all but one black templar was killed in the barrage. The last one took a twin linked BS shot from the KoS buggy, and the KoS russ sent a battlecannon shell into the side armor of the remaining predator, annihilating it. The bustas and zzap truck opened up on their remaining squad, killing more Beakies,
More beakie 'ard boyz! Get 'em Ladz! WAAAAAGH!
Close combat, found the WAAAGHing sluggaz , single killer kan, and Bob killing off all of the terminators, servitor, and emperor’s chump. The chaplin remained, but died unhappily as he was outnumbered 20 to one, and couldn’t make all of the required saves.
Where'd dey go?
Turn 4:
Not a whole lot to report, and we eased up on them.
Results:
Massacre,Orks Win!
Bob: Ahh. Wez need betta scrumgrods, Zorbag.
Zorbag: aye. Me boyz didn't even break a toof!
