http://www.40konline.com/index.php?topic=210224.0When I got to the store this morning it wasn’t open yet, my pre-planned opponent had RL happen to him, so I asked for volunteers. Frank (not a member of this board… Yet) accepted the challenge.

Set up was spear head, orks won the roll for first turn. The marines won the roll for scout moves and limited where the death coptas could move by moving their bikes forward, so the death coptas had to turbo boost to the right flank.
Scout Moves
The squigs scattered to the just about even directions from the center, for the rest of the battle report since I didn’t take notes on squig movement you will have to look at the pictures.
TURN 1
Movement;
Frank failed to seize initiative and so the orks surged forward. The battle wagon with the flamers tank shocked the bikes, the sgt death or gloried and failed dying under the death roller, 10 strength 10 hits killed two more bikers. The red pants boys moved 13” and dismounted in front of the other squad of bikers. The black boots truck moved 13” and the first truck of shootas moved 13” and dismounted next to a squig. The green baron with no place else to move turbo boosted towards the land raider, the BW with tank bustas moved 7” and the kannon BW moved 7” all the rest of the trucks went as far forward as they could due to the traffic jam.
Shooting;
Old Zog took aim at the nearest termi squad and then rolled a 4 for his psychic power (+1 attack) so did nothing. The kill kannon, shot and the template moved a little but killed three bikers, The three coptas shot up the attack bike and caused 1 wound, truck big shootas shoot at termies and they make all their saves, the shootas run and catch a squig, the tank bustas shot at the far left land raider and had 8 hits but all the rockits bounced off.
Assault;
The red pants boys assault the remaining bikers, the sgt killed two boys and the boys killed the sgt (6 wound and 1 fail=the sgt) and the nob finished off the last two bikers. The squad consolidated and captured another squig.
BOTTOM OF ONE
The termi squad with Belial deep strikes in right next to the flamers BW, the attack bike moved over and lined up on the green baron, the other attack bike lines up on the rockit buggy, the three bikers end round the flamer BW and line up on the shoota boys holding the squig, both land raiders move 6” and disgorge their loads of termis, one termi squad moves towards the red pants boys, one squad moved towards the middle.
Shooting:
3 bikers shoot at shootas, 9 wounds, assigned one to nob who saved the other 8 died, the left land raider shoots las cannon at BW and fails to penetrate, the heavy bolter shoots a truck getting a destroyed, the truck ramshakles into the side of the battle wagon, and one boy dies in the explosion. The other land raider shot at the kannon BW and failed to penetrate, the heavy bolter shot at the coptas and caused 1 wound, the wounded attack bike shoots the green baron and causes 1 wound, one squad of termies shoot up red pants boys killing 4, command termies shoot at the black boots who are now truckless, killing 6, the land raider termies open up on the flamer BW the assault cannon rolled 666 to glance the BW and then took off a big shoota. The right LR termies shoot down the green baron. One attack bike shoots the rockit buggy and immobilized it.
Assault;
One squad assaults red pants boys, The squig escapes, kill 5 orks for only 1 termi in return and the nob flees off the table. The LR termies assault the flamer BW and cause it to explode (yes even with needing 6’s to hit) one terminator was wounded, and no flamers died in the explosion thanks to FNP.
TURN 2:
Movement;
The blue shirts move up and get out next to the termies that just killed off the red pants, the gold boys get out and move towards the bikers, the other truck of shoota boys moves 6” and in front of the BW, flamers and mad doc spread out and move towards termies, Zogwart got out of the battle wagon and moved towards the line of terminators, the kannon BW backed up 6”, the black boots moved towards the center termis, the empty trucks move to make a cover wall for the shoota boys. The death coptas moved to the right of the land raider and lined up on the attack bike.
Shooting;
Zogwort turned Belial into a squig,
The kannon BW shoots at the clumped up terminators that killed the green baron.and killed one. The drive by boys shoot at the terminators and kill one, the coptas kill the attack bike with big shootas, the gold boys shoot the bikers and kill one with pistols, the three meks with KMB’s shoot at the terminators and kill one, the rockit buggy shot the attack bike and killed it, the tank busta again shoot at the left land raider and get stunned and shaken.
Assault;
The burna boys with mad doc assault the land raider squad and the command squad of terminators, squig Belial wiffs, as does the sgt, the burna boys kill 3 termies, on the other side the termi sgt killed 1 burna boy (actually a mek) and the burna boys kill 4, Mad Doc kills one, and the last termi killed a burna boy,. One squad wiped out, and squig Belial and his sgt had to take 4 fearless saves, and they all went on the sgt as no attacks actually went to the IC squig. He saved them all. The black boots charged their squad and they wipe each other out, (5 orks for 5 termies, good trade), The blue shirts charged their termis and the sgt killed one, the boys kill one termi, the other termies kill one boy and the nob wiffed, then failed his LD, the boss pole killed a boy and then failed the LD a second time and headed 7” to the board edge. The gold boys charged the bikes the bikers killed one boy and the boys kill one bike and the nob wiffed so the two squads hugged up.
Bottom of 2
Movement;
The termies in front of the fleeing blue shirts find that a squig has jumped inbetween them so move forward and catch the squig. The right land raider termies move across the front of the coptas, the right land raider backs up.
Shooting;
The land raider shoots the drive by boys truck and gets a krunch, the far right termies shoot the coptas killing two (darn assault cannon) and the survivor fled off the board. The heavy bolter shot the drive by squad and killed one boy.
Assault;
The sgt missed and Belial Squig hit but failed to wound, the flamers finished them off consolidating towards the left land raider.
