galloa Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 (more photo's later added) Threeway battle: SM(Galloa’s Iron knights of the Scorpions) vs BA(Rednash) vs Orks(Lappasman) Orks were always present in the Taugeki system. They couldn’t be eradicated. Every once in a while a Space Marine chapter or 2 would try and cleanse the system, but never wholly succeeded. Orks.. Always fighting, never truly defeated. On the planet Geki, the Iron Snakes were once again trying to slaughter the Orks and drive them of the planet. While being successful in most battles, the all important Warboss eluded them. Recently a recon force of Blood Angels joined them in battle. They were winning, but never seemed to get the upper hand. Having been there for weeks the Iron Snakes were suddenly surprised with a visit! Marneus Calgar himself was inspecting some solar systems and decided to visit Taugeki. Knowing Marneus he wanted to check on the Blood Angels on Geki… Calgar summoned both the captain and the Reclusiarch of the BA. He had an idea. He himself would send a message to the Orks, feigning surrender. Even if the Orks didn’t believe them, which they would, they would still probably want to meet anyway. Everything for a good fight, especially the chance to kill the most wanted humie.! So it happened, the message was send. Of course the messenger was killed and send back with an Ork writing on his head and back. They would meet next to some ruins near the capital of Geki. Of course being Orks they brought the remainder of the forces with them. The Iron Snakes and BA did the same. All forces were thoroughly weakened, so this was it. Whomever killed the most won the campaign this time! We set up a table with another smaller table next to it. Like so: Main <<Rednash Main Smaller Main= Smaller ><<Galloa Main Smaller Main <lappasman http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/pietje7/Warhammer%2040k/IMAG0104.jpg table overview Terrain was forest and mountain on the Main table and some ruins and bunkers on the smaller table. We played the negotiations scenario on page ..something.. of the rulebook. Rednash set up first, at the ‘top’, Galloa on the smaller table and lappasman at the ‘bottom’. Due to the mission we placed a HQ and his unit within 6” of the middle objective. Which was in the middle of the two tables. (the = in the diagram) 4 objectives, the negotiate table and the three campsites. Lappasman began with the Orks! The negotiations went bad. Orks aren’t prone to talk a lot, but this one actually managed to piss of the Blood Angels. And not in a good way either, they were getting mad at everyone, including the Iron Snakes! Not before long, the talking stopped and the fighting began! Turn 1 Lappasman The Warboss and his Nobz are shouting obscene Ork.. words?.. But forget they are in a battle, doing nothing. The big Mek on the other hand witnessed the meeting. He and a bunch of boyz were waiting to start fighting. He fires his shokk attack gun, but because he’s too hasty he fires a vortex hole while aiming at his head….Taking himself and his two meks with him out of the game. (2 one’s, how do you do that, was funny though) A set of Warbuggies move 12” towards Lord Marneus and his squad. Warbuggies shot at Lord Marneus squad. No casualties http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/pietje7/Warhammer%2040k/IMAG0105.jpg fight begins Galloa Lord Marneus calmly listened to the Ork shouting and decided to sit. “Sir, what shall we do?”.. No answer came. The Ironclad moved 6” towards the Ork Warbuggies. Meanwhile the Lasdread was asleep. Predator moved 6” towards Rednashs HQ with Death Company in the middle. It’s autocannon shoots and misses. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/pietje7/Warhammer%2040k/IMAG0105.jpg galloa's start army Rednash Trying to control the rage that was building up around him, Galen(the Reclusairch) thought it was appropriate to sing a song. A song concerning butterflies and sheep. The Baal Predator meanwhile turboboosted towards the Death Company, to listen to the singing. A rhino, which job was to carry the Death Company moved a little and tries to shoot a Nob. But thanks to the calming effect of the song it missed. Turn 2 Galloa Reserves: The squad of Space Marines moved in. Ironclad moved 6” + 1” in the shooting phase Spacemarines moved 6” forward, to secure the camp. LasDread moved 6” and fired at Rednash Death Company but misses. Predator brought its heavy bolters to bear and made two members of the DC a bloody mess. Marneus decided he could see more if he moved up the ruin behind him. And having 14 Armour Value also helps blocking shots. Rednash Reserves: Rhino with the assault squad without jumppacks. Baal predator moved 12”, towards the place where the crew last saw a vortex hole appear. The AS Rhino moved 18” towards Galloa’s Predator, hiding behind a bunker. DC Rhino moved 12”, the crew desperately wanted to fulfill their job. The Baal predator fires his flamestorm cannon, causing 3 ‘ard boyz to go up in flames! DC shoots at the Nobz and cause 4 wounds. 1 Nob dies an instant death, because of the infernus pistol. 3 wounds to other Nobz. Then Galen sang again, forgetting a charge, which by all means should have happened.. It says so even in the rules haha. Lappasman Reserves: Storm boyz deepstrike between Lord Marneus and the space marine squad sitting next to the SM camp. The Warbuggies Turboboost 18”. They want to go past the Ironclad. A Killakan emerges from behind the woods and shoots with a rockit launcha and hits the baal pred! But only causing a paint scratch.` The stormboyz fire their slugga’s and hit but wound no marine. Nobz and the Warboss shoot at the DC, wound 1 and kill one… Failing even his FNP save. This proves even the Orks can shoot something if they really focus :no: And also promptly forgets to assault the DC unit. The Warboss needed to show exactly why he was boss.. Because he is the strongest!! Wraaa! Turn 3 Lappasman Reserves: 3 Nobz on warbikes show up. They will show em whos boss! Warbuggies move 12”, well out of range of the angry Ironclad. But in shooting range of the marine squad, fire! Every bullet was deflected, damn power armour. The warbikes race 12” towards the Death Company. They aren’t in range, all the bullets go flying and hit a deer!.. Poor critter. Warboss and his Nobz fire away at the DC. They wound one, but he is far to enraged to feel anything, let alone a piece of stone/metal(what comes out of an Ork guns?) in his leg. The Stormboyz shoot at the marine squad next to the camp. Absolutely nothing happened. Then time to go crazy and assault! The boyz let out a warcry and jumped on the marines. Being marines they react in time to hit the Orks first and they did. Only the sound of the Orks screaming confused them somewhat, they missed all their attacks.. The Stormboyz seemed to have the same problem, but hit a lot more. One marine failed to dodge the powerklaw the Nob was carrying and got smashed. The marines hold the line. Meanwhile the Warboss craves for some marinestompin! They assault the DC. Still slow as the Orks are, the DC kills 1 Nob and wound another one. Galen himself kills 2 nobz. The Nobz then hit 6 times, they wound nothing, thanks to FNP. Now it’s the bosses time!! The Warboss kills 2 with his powerklaw, rips them apart and… eats one head. Just what he needed to get trough the day. Rednash Reserves: everything gets in, thanks to DoA. Assault squad2 deepstrikes between the Ironclad and Marneus stronghold(yeah in the meantime Marneus made it his for some reason =P). They fire at the Ironclad, who still chases the Warbuggies who are waaaay further. The Ironclad gets hit in the back and is scares so bad it’s stunned. It can’t move or fire. Scouts move in at the right border of Galloa’s camp. The sergeant aims his combi-melta at the side of the predator and misses! The Rhino Assault squad gets out of the transport, next to the scouts. They fire a meltagun at the predator, hitting and damaging its main cannon. “Good that one won’t fire anymore.” http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/pietje7/Warhammer%2040k/IMAG0108.jpg Galloa get stuck The Baal predator moves 3” closer to the Ork boyz. Just to get in good shooting range. Crew shoots it’s Flamestormcannon at the Orks and Killakan. The Killakan enjoys the warmth and is eating fried chicken. 3 Orks burn to a crisp. Heavy flamers hit 6 and kill 4 Orks. The Orks flee! Ohw wait no they don’t, they have enough guys left to pass the test. Stormbolter from the rhino fails! Yet again btw.. Galen en his guys wound the Warboss two times. The Nobz hit like everything but kill nothing. Now Warboss again. He kills 2 DC members and Galen saves 1 wound with his invul save. Powerfist member of the DC kills the lone Nob and the Warboss. Galloa No reserves enter the battlefield after hitting a 3 and 2 on the dice. Marneus and his squad fire two stormbolters and 6 boltguns at Rednash’s deep-striked Assault squad. Two of the marines were instantly crippled by Marneus his bolters. Another one fell to the ground after being hit with 10 boltgun shots. The priest was incapable of reviving him. Predator fires on Rednash’s Marines but fails to do anything to them, except killing one. His LasDread doesn’t fire its Twinlinked Lascannon and decides to charge the Scout squad of Rednash. He kills two in the process. They were utterly crushed beneath the Dreadnought his fist. Turn 4 Rednash The assault squad without jumppacks move closer to the Predator. Trying to decide between destroying the Lasdread or the Predator. The scouts are no match for a Dreadnought and enter the Rhino of which the Assault squad got out of. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/pietje7/Warhammer%2040k/IMAG0108.jpg Galloa get assaulted by Rednash Deepstriking is a weird thing to do. Even after doing it 2 times a day, marines still don’t get used to it. But now the weirdness wore of, they can move normally again! So the deepstriked Assault squad jumps onto the fortress of Marneus. They attack the group and kill two with their fury. Marneus proceeds to splatter two Assault marines. Galen thought it would be wiser and faster to enters the Rhino next to them. Then the Rhino moves 6” towards Nobz on Warbikes. Flaming Orks continue! The Baal Predator touches the Orks objective. Flamestormcannon burns 1 Ork and his Killakan is still enjoying his deep fried chicken. Heavy flamers burn another five ‘Ard Boyz Galloa Galloa does a deep-strike with his landspeeder and lands behind Rednash’s Baal Predator. He hits two times with the typhoon missiles and stuns the tank. He then fires a Heavy bolter, hits the rear and rolls a 5, destroying the Predator. Marneus singlehandedly kill 4 Assault marines. they break and fly away. Stormboyz still want to kill the Marines next to Galloa’s objective! One of the boyz flies up with a marine and drops him from the sky, killing him. Brothermarines went mad and killed four Stormboyz. Disciplined as they are, for Orks, they stay. Lasdread shoots and fails his lascannonshot.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/pietje7/Warhammer%2040k/IMAG0107.jpg the landspeeder lappasman Reserves: Kommandos come in, grab Rednash’s camp objective. Deffkoptas come in. Warbuggies move and contest Galloa’s camp objective marker. Galloa and Rednash concede, it was late... The Orks have 2 objectives and contest the other 2. They win! Aftermath Marneus was pissed. Blood angels attacking fellow Space Marines and losing his camp. TO ORKS! He was outmanouvered by Orks. Galen offered his excuses. He and his marines were strangely affected by the Ork warspirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
