I had unfortunately forgotten my camera, so no pictures from me. There are, however, pictures and commentary from Danger Planet's site (this opens in a new window) you might enjoy.
Right or wrong, we decided to deploy the gargants together in the center, facing their titan and an armored company. Nightserpent sheltered his units purposely behind the titans, in order to “spring” out after we began our advance. We decided to ignore the titan, and instead focus our fire power on the armored company and guard units in front of us, and we simply gutted them by the time the power had gone out. Lil’ Krooza moved up to engage their titan, and after destroying its’ close combat weapon in the first round, Krooza simply ground it to one structure point before Nightserpent’s boss shredded it. NS had moved the mekboy titan over to secure another objective, and while it blasted the imperial heavy tanks from it, it couldn’t’ get there in time and we failed to capture it.
Infact, I think the only objective claimed by the greens was the one Lil’Krooza was parked on.
The teams were divided up, and at least on the left hand side of the table, I think we were a bit outnumbered. Skragor and 92acclude were to my left, facing 3 beakie players. 92acclude was only fielding about 800 pts, plus his superheavy, leaving that side heavily outnumbered.
92acclude had some bad luck with a venerable dreadnought that chewed up his kans and dread, I had decided to not shoot at it as I figured 3 kans should eat that for lunch!
The remainder of the Konviktz forces veered off to try and support to my left and 92, but I was perhaps too slow by a turn in redeploying them. Warboss Bob and some ‘ard boyz shattered a beakie assault squad, but after getting counter assaulted by a crap load of blood claws, Bob went down, and the ‘ard boyz hung out for another round or two. I piled in a full mob of sluggaz, only to loose 13 when the powerklaw wielding nob of 92acclude gutted the venerable dreadnought, causing no small explosion. That was turn six though, so the losses were significant when it came to trying to hold the objective.
Skragor was in a bad spot and faced some bad luck. He was in the open, and his battlewagon was stuck in the river the whole game. He performed admirably in the face of all those beakies though.
On the far side of the table, I know kudos goes to Zorbag who swung around with his KoS and gutted, as in wiped out, the Space Wolf player across from him. By the time he got the next player, he was pretty worn down though, and couldn’t last the game. Plasma Toof was next to him, carefully sheparding his mega armored nobs from getting their boots dirty……. laughingOrk.gif winkingOrk.gif As far as the other two ork players, Stormboy who was one of them, I didn’t see enough of their combats to comment.
All in all it was a lot of fun, despite loosing power (which I admit, diminished my eagerness to play, and the game for the ork side seemed to drop right after that). I think if a couple more experienced warbosses had shown up, we could have krumped them proppa. No offence to any of the lads there, but mega battles experience counts for a lot.
It may have been wiser to spread the gargants out a bit, but than again against an armored company, they proved a nice distraction. As it was, I doubt they would have secured any more than another single objective, and that wouldn’t have changed the game for us.
