Battle Report – WAAAAGH Gitsmasha vs. Space Wolves 2000 pts!

Recently I’ve been concentrating on Painting, and to a lesser effect Modeling.  I put out Home Fires as part of Storytelling, but the fourth strand of the hobby, Gaming, has been completely set by the wayside.

Until now.

Or, rather, last Monday.  I’ve been unable to post due to internet connectivity issues.  But longtime friend of the blog Misha brought their Space Wolves to let me cut my teeth on my Orks!

Deployment: Tipping Point

Mission: Scorched Earth

Mission Rule: Stalwarts

Setup:

Space Wolves charged forward, occupying the center.  The WAAAAAGH! followed, allowing most Ork units to push forward.  Beast Snagga boys threatened the Repulsor, while Meganobs and Squighog Boys took out the Land Raider Redeemer.

The Judiciar with the Bladeguard wiped the Bikes, but were then cut down by Nobs.  In a display of indignity, the Judiciar with one wound was disaptched in the following shooting phase with Nob Sluggas in close combat!

Murderfang dispatched the Beast Snaggas while Ragnar Blackmane moved up and slaughtered the Boys.  Flash Git fire killed his Intercessor escort, and reduced Ragnar to one wound!  In a wave of desperation, Grots charged!  The Runterherd did one unsaved wound which was undone with a re-roll, but one lucky Grot got another wound through!  Ragnar went down with a Grot Stabba in his eye!

After this, Murderfang and Bjorn the Fell-Handed took out most Orks.  At the end of the game, only one squad of Grots remained.  However, the Space Wolves had made a tactical error!  Due to the mission rules, Misha burned a mid-field objective on turn 2, confident he could take more later.  In truth, the Space Wolves lost more than 15 points on Primary because this objective was not kept.  In the end, the Orks won 72-62!
