Campaign Rules and Information thread

This is the Index thread for the Ork participants in the Knuckles on Necrodermis cross forum campaign pitting the Ork Forum against the Necron Forum in a battle of supremacy!

Campaign Fluff, the Sparknotes version...
An Ork Warlord and his Big Mek want to steal Necron tech, specifically the Necrodermis Generator which creates the living metal found in Necron Monoliths, starships, and bodies of the Ctan.  The Necrons are trying to reclaim this very same Necrodermis Generator which do to seismic activity, polar shifts, and continental drifts is currently missing.

The Prize for most Notorious player in the campaign: a one of a kind Necron Obelisk Terrain piece (yeah its not very Orky but still its a free terrain piece!)


Current most Notorious Ork: Skeetergod
Mission 1 Shoutout : First of all everyone on both Ork and Necron side (but that should be a given) special kudos to Angel for getting Gutstikk to go along with getting credit for both regular and bonus missions, as well as Skeetergod for his early lead in the Notority aspect of the game.

Mission 2 Shoutout: Again everybody, but I gotta give mad props to Hekkastor for securing Sector 1, Stealing a point from the Necrons with a successful 'It's Them' game, his continuing work on his Skaterboss, inspiring a fellow Ork (as well as myself) to build Skateboarding Orks, and a campaign fiction ending with the words "I'MMANA BITE YER SHINY METAL ASS!"  Of course kudos as well to Skeetergod for such an insane amount of Notority Points.

Peace

Sign me up for sector 3

I have already lined up 3 games against the necron armies, and am ready to conquer their world

I came, I saw, I waaghed!

[Gutstikk]

Excellent, good to see this kind of gumption! Get ready to get stuck in! Hopefully others will be as fortunate in hunting down your rivals and stomping some tinheads into the ground!

[JimmyHatfield]

I will be joining the 1000-1500pt series, but games won't commence until next week.  I got about 4 hrs worth of work to get some really spiffy terrain.  I'll be happy to show it off in the pics. 

[Gutstikk]

No prob since the campaign isn't technically open till the 26th. Thanks for steppin up though!

[moc065]

This might sound dumb; but I maight actually be forced to paly both sides of the fence and fight for both Orkz and da Necrons.

Right now I am in sector 3 for the Necrons; but I will keep you informed if I get a match wit Bluu in da Phaes, as I just raped a guy pretty bad and now some friends are openly challenging the battleworthyness of me orkz. Thus they may need to stomped back into submission good and propa. I will keep you informed to the when's and where's dat da Stompingz occur (If day occur).

Cheers

[OD from TV]

Well you know your welcome on the team moc, but I think Gutstikk wanted to try and prevent people from playing on both sides of the fence.  You'll have to get the go ahead from him before I can add you up.

Besides anyone that played for both Necrons and Orks would likely have an easy time winning the competition inside the competition for most Notoriety Points, and seeing how I'm finishing up a trophy that will be sent out to the big Notoriety winner, it'd be a shame if someone had an unfair advantage in that little contest.

Peace

[Azonalanthious]

So... while we have a local necro player, his necrons are one of his secondary army and he almost never plays them.  He usually plays... orks.  But he has no issues with folks using one of his spare armies, so could I borrow his necrons, play them against his orks, but then report it and credit it from the orkie side?    Pretty please?  I promise to try and win as the necrons!

On a slightly more serious (well... more realistic) note, I'll probably end up joining in tier 3, but I would rather join a less populated tier to help fill in (tier 1 looks like it needs love).  Waiting til my next game night to see if I can talk the group into running lower point games for awhile.

[Gutstikk]

You'd be better off getting him to let someone else use his army, and then fighting that someone else with your Orks. That, or bribe him into dusting them off and fielding them himself.

[moc065]

Or have your friend join up in here, and have one of you one each team. Dust off the Toasters.

Cheers

To be honest I think most players these days play between 1850-2000, and I know that's where I've played almost every game for the past year or two.  I decided to place myself in Sector 2 though because we need players there (as well as Sector 1), and it gives me a bit more of a challenge as I have to struggle with making a competitive list that can go up against all comers without having the almost standard 2 units of Lootas, Flash Gitz and Wagons I've grown so accustomed to.

So Azonalanthious pick the spot you think you can play at, where you know you'll have fun.  In the event that by the onset of the event and we only have 1 player in Sector 1 I'll have to place myself there just to make sure we have coverage (note that it is ideal to have at least 2 players in each sector, that way if one looses we can still accrue CP).

Tournies at out local comic shot tend to run at 1,000 points for time consideration - lets us get all the games done in a reasonable amount of time.  But local game night tends to be 2,000 points lists, either 1 on 1 or 2 on 2 for a 4,000 point game.

[SKEETERGOD]

It has been agreed with my opponent (whom still has not signed up for the necron board) to play 3k points and the scenerio is ambush (from battle mission book)

Here is my list, also hope to get the piece of terrain made before the battle so we can have pictures. I guess his wife lets him use the camera...

Without furher ado....

WARBOSS : “Awty Dakkatoof”; Attack Squig, War bike, Power Claw, Cybork Body, Boss Pole.*   =155
BIG MEK: “Gitburna”; eavy armor, burna, Cybork body, Boss Pole, Kustom Force Field   =125

TROOP
1a: *7 Nob Bikers; War Bike, Big Choppa, Cybork body,  Waagh Banna, 1 is a  Pain Boy w/ ‘urty syringe and tools   = 425
1b: 12 BOYS; Slugga and Choppa, NOB, ‘eavy armor, boss pole, Power Claw.    = 117 TRUKK; Red Paint,Ram,Plank = 50;    Total = 167
2: 12 BOYS; Slugga and Choppa, NOB, ‘eavy armor, boss pole, Power Claw.    = 117 TRUKK; Red Paint,Ram,Plank = 50;    Total = 167
3: 12 BOYS; Slugga and Choppa, NOB, ‘eavy armor, boss pole, Power Claw.    = 117 TRUKK; Red Paint,Ram,Plank = 50;    Total = 167
4: 12 “ARD BOYS; Armor, Slugga and Choppa, NOB, boss pole, Power Claw.    = 160 TRUKK; Red Paint,Ram,Plank = 50;    Total = 210
*warboss rule one unit counts as troops

FAST
1:  1 Deffcopta, Twin Link Rocket Launcha, Buzz Saw     = 70
2:  1 War Buggies, Tracks, Red Paint, with Skorcha    = 45
3:  1 War Buggies, Tracks, Red Paint, Twin Link Rocket Launcher    = 45

ELITE
1. 6 Mega Nobs, mega armor   =240
Battle Wagon; armor plates, red paint, grot rigger, Death Roller, 2 big shootas.    = 125
2: 15 Burna Boys, 3 are Meks with Mega blasters.    = 225

HEAVY
1: Battle Wagon; armor plates, red paint, grot rigger, Death Roller, 2 big shootas.    = 125
2: 10 Flash Gitz, ‘eavy armor, Cybork, More Dakka, Shootier, 1 is a pain boy   =420
3: Battle Wagon; red paint, grot rigger, Reinforced ram, Kill Kannon, 1 big shoota,    = 170

Grand Total 2980

PS, since I don't use army builder if anyone feels up to it to run it through to make sure I got the points right please do. (I know, pretty sad for the orkountant to ask for math help.....)

[moc065]

WARBOSS : “Awty Dakkatoof”; Attack Squig, War bike, Power Claw, Cybork Body, Boss Pole.*   =155

The boss pole is generally better placed within the unit he is joining. That way if he goes solo the Unit still gets the benefit of the Boss Pole while he has a better LD to work with anyway, and he will usually take fewer LD tests than a squad would anyway.

BIG MEK: “Gitburna”; eavy armor, burna, Cybork body, Boss Pole, Kustom Force Field   =125

Same comment as above; but I really do like this guy (I have one too).

TROOP

1a: *7 Nob Bikers; War Bike, Big Choppa, Cybork body,  Waagh Banna, 1 is a  Pain Boy w/ ‘urty syringe and tools   = 425

I generally go for the abusinve wargear distribution on these guys; but there is probably no requirement.

1b: 12 BOYS; Slugga and Choppa, NOB, ‘eavy armor, boss pole, Power Claw.    = 117 TRUKK; Red Paint,Ram,Plank = 50;    Total = 167
2: 12 BOYS; Slugga and Choppa, NOB, ‘eavy armor, boss pole, Power Claw.    = 117 TRUKK; Red Paint,Ram,Plank = 50;    Total = 167
3: 12 BOYS; Slugga and Choppa, NOB, ‘eavy armor, boss pole, Power Claw.    = 117 TRUKK; Red Paint,Ram,Plank = 50;    Total = 167

I only run two of these in my list and I love them, fast, assaulty, etc. I go without the Eavy Armour; but since you have the points, why not.

4: 12 “ARD BOYS; Armor, Slugga and Choppa, NOB, boss pole, Power Claw.    = 160 TRUKK; Red Paint,Ram,Plank = 50;    Total = 210

Not using Ardboys myself; but I am seeing more and more reason to actually take a squad in bigger games, so godo for you to invest in them (explosions will hurt a lot less).

*warboss rule one unit counts as troops

This is a given; but how come your not abusing the Big Mek as well ?

FAST

1:  1 Deffcopta, Twin Link Rocket Launcha, Buzz Saw     = 70

Ah the Green Baron, Love it.

2:  1 War Buggies, Tracks, Red Paint, with Skorcha    = 45
3:  1 War Buggies, Tracks, Red Paint, Twin Link Rocket Launcher    = 45

Six of those, Half dozen of these, nice mix.

ELITE

1. 6 Mega Nobs, mega armor   =240
Battle Wagon; armor plates, red paint, grot rigger, Death Roller, 2 big shootas.    = 125

Really, only 6 ? Just kidding. I like it.

2: 15 Burna Boys, 3 are Meks with Mega blasters.    = 225

This is an often overlooked "Hidden Gem" first you bar-b-que a few units, then you go into CC to show them Orkz are really made of.

HEAVY

1: Battle Wagon; armor plates, red paint, grot rigger, Death Roller, 2 big shootas.    = 125

I wonder whats going inside of this ?

2: 10 Flash Gitz, ‘eavy armor, Cybork, More Dakka, Shootier, 1 is a pain boy   =420

Now your reminding me of Gutstikk'er. I like Flash Gitz and I think they are often under-rated, so once again good for you to take them onboard.

3: Battle Wagon; red paint, grot rigger, Reinforced ram, Kill Kannon, 1 big shoota,    = 170

Well, now I get a picture of 3 BW's and 3 Trukk's to go with the rest of the army. Super fast, Super shooty, and even more Close Combat. I think you have a really good balance in this list overall, and I would say that its ready to go All Comers at any time, probably looks amazing on the battlefield too, and everyone knows that the best looking mobs always fight better.

Cheers

[SKEETERGOD]

Well it seems I must have misread somewhere.... I thought it started on the 16th, oooopppssiii

Thats OK, as AWTY Dakkatoof doesn't like to go to an used war, so he started this one. The orks have first blood and this means that I have led the way and cleared all you gitz a landing zone.

Battle report is posted here:

[Hekkastor]

I'd like to sign up under sector 1
My only models for the moment are the AoBR set, so there's the list...
Seems sort of funny that my first WAGGHHH will be against my starting army

[OD from TV]

You got it Hekkastor, signed up and ready to waaaagh!

Additionally if you join the Way of the Waaaagh: The Green Menace, you'd qualify for some teef for your participation in the event.  To clarify the WotW (as it is often abbreviated) is the Ork Chain of Command of the forum, which offers bonuses and has set up the event as well as future events (well in the nature of full disclosure the Knucles on Necrodermis campaign was not exclusively created by the WotW, but it was one of the driving forces and instrumental in the construction of the event).

Well it seems I must have misread somewhere.... I thought it started on the 16th, oooopppssiii

Yeah a lot of people thought that as well, and I really feel that the general enthusiasm for the campaign as died away quite a bit because of what can be perceived as waiting around for it to begin.  This being the very first Cross Forum campaign, as well as the first multiforum event since 08 mistakes were bound to happen, the mistake in this particular area being that signup was supposed to start on the 16th with every detail being hushed up prior to that, but... well mistakes were made.

Just for everyone's knowledge the campaign is supposed to start on the 26th, which is still a week away.

But the prize for the most Notorious player of the campaign is nearing completion, and when it is complete I will be posting a pic for all to see (although I really hope that the winner will be in the continental US to keep my shipping costs down, as I will ship the prize to the winner via Mail and oversee's shipping costs a mouthful of teef).

Peace
~OD
