I set up with the lootas in the left bastion and the big guns in the right one.
He brought:
Alpha Warrior with warriors – fleshborers, bone swords, whip
coils
Trygon Prime
Zonathrope A
Zonathope B
Gargoyle X 10
Hive guard X3
Gaunts X 21
Gaunts X 21
Genestealer A X 6 +broodlord
Genestealer B X 6 +broodlord
Genestealer C X6
Ymgarl Genestealers
Firestorm
He took the stragtem that gives you 2D6 firestorm drops and
he rolled a 5 giving him 7 drops. He killed
1 boy from my Boys around the right bastion and 5 from the boys around the left
one.
Turn 1
Nids
He gets one Zonathrope, his Ymgarl, Genestealer A, one squad
of guants and his hive guard in. they surround my last bastions blowing it up
killing 7 lootas,who run off the table and several boys. His hive guard and guants kill enough of my
boys to pull them out of assault range of genestealer A. So he assaulted them
with the guants. He killed a couple of orks while the orks killed several
Gaunts.
Orks
All my reserves came in.
The Red Wagon with the warboss and some boys came in on my edge and the
black Battle wagon with my shootas came in on his along with my koptas . While
the Vulcha boys drifted into the dangerous terrain killing 5. The black battle wagon ran over his guard
wounding 1. While the koptas tried to line up some shots on the hiveguard. The big guns have no target so just sit
there. The boys finish off the guants.
Turn 2
Nids
This turn he gets his gargoyles, Genestealer C his prime and
his second Zonathrope in. The genestealr
came in by the right bastion and gets closer to my boys. He moves Genestealer A
closer to my boys, his ymgarls toward my red battlewagon and his hive guard
toward my boys that are fighting his gaunts. Zonathope A fails his psychic test, and his
prime kills one kopta. He then immobizes and stuns my Black Battlewagon. He fails to assault my boys with his
genestealers and illegally assaults ( I didn’t catch it then sigh) my boys with
his hive guard. The Ymgarl assault my red battlewagon and blows it up killing 8
boys. His Prime assault the koptas and wipes them out. While on the right side
he kills a few bows and I kill 2 genestealers.
Orks
The shootas disembarks from the wagon and the warboss gear
up to assault his ymgarls. The stormboys
move toward his gargoyles. The shootas
wound a warrior while the big guns kill Zonathrope B. During the assaults my shootas go after the
Warriors killing 2 and losing 8 in total, the stormboys assault the gargoyles and wipe them out. The Warboss kill the Ymgarl
and the boys on the left kill the hive guard and the boys on the right kill the
genestealers.
Turn 3
Nids
The trygon comes in by the stormboys and his last
genestealers came in by the Warboss. His
last guants came in by my boys near the blown up bastion. The trigon kill the stormboys with shooting
and assaults, his gaunts finish off the boys, the genestealer kill off the warboss
and friends and his warriors with prime kill off my shootas.
Orks
All I had left was a small group of boys and my big guns. The
Guns puts 2 wounds on the trygon while my boys assault it and put 2 more wounds
on it before breaking and getting overrun.
Turn 4
Nids
He assaults my bastions with his trygon destroying 3 guns
and shaking it. My big guns hoped to put
the final wound on his trygon to allow me to hold my last objective by
assaulting it. I got 2 wounds on it but
it saved both and then the grots broke tabling me.
It was a rough game but enjoyable. Looking back I don’t think my orks are made
for the crossfire setup. On turn one
have my guys had nothing to do. If I had
castled up in the center my guys would be able to team up and shoot at
targets. The Koptas were useless this
game. Lesson learned.
