Mission: The Scouring
Battlefield: Short and Fat
Result: Iron Hands win after Ork Concession
Report:
Orks moved first, with advance by meganobz in trucks plus a Gorkanaut; Lootas sup plied cover in fire from Battlee Wagon.
The Iron Hands responded by Deep Striking a Chapter Master with Command Squad and Librarius (against the Lootas), and an Ironclad Dreadnought; Assault Terminators were also sent to intercept the Orks. Meanwhile, a Sicaran Battle Tank began a duel with Ork Kopta, whilst Thunderfire Cannons commenced bombardment of Boyz detachments.
This response destroyed the Orks transport capacity and initiated some savage mêlées. The Iron Hands proved too strong for the meganobz and gorkanaut; and the Lootas were also swept from the field, along with the Ork Warlord.
The remaining Orks chose discretion over valour.
I would have to say that it was the most one sided and least enjoyable battle I have ever participated in. I don't mind losing (occupational hazard for orks) but I do like to have a realistic chance of winning or even destroying a single opposition unit.
ReplyDeleteWould the 200 point handicap have helped ?

I really doubt it, with so many adds and saves I couldn't win melees and shooting was ineffective. The only way would be to stay very mobile and try to snatch something in the final round but very difficult with my chosen army list.
