CatSmasher Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Hello all, I played a game today that was a narrative extension of a previous apocalypse game where the imperium repelled the main assault of the Greentide, and decimated most of the xenos armour. (Details Here:http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294383-logan-and-his-wolf-guard/ ) However, in the epic battle against the Stompa formation, Logan Grimnar, Great company leader and his retinue have gone missing, and are presumed dead. However, the wolves have picked up the faintest scent, a weak but familiar signal… Arjac Rockfist, the Anvil. The Wolves deploy with an unmatched speed, deploying in every vehicle they could muster. (House rule was that I would bring my all but my Heavy weapons teams in mandatory dedicated transports) Despite a nasty defeat the Orks are still eager for kills. Warboss Snagtooth Lockjaw had been relegated to the back lines because of the lumbering Kans that formed the bulk of his clan. (House rule was that he would not bring transports) Lockjaw was happy to search through the Stompa wreckage, plenty of dakka to be had… What he found was the greatest prize he could imagine, the Great Wolf and his dog Rockfist. Before their battered bodies could me looted the Orks were aroused by a familiar sound… imperial armour. Coming from over the ridge was a tidal wave of sky blue… Lockjaw drooled uncontrollably, for a moment forgetting about his prize Theme song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKe8jze56Vg GAME TYPE: Malestrom, Tactical escalation Lists (rough) Wolves RP , WP Wg – L Raider Crus, combi meltas and termies with chain fists, Hflamer WG – Drop Pod Combi plas, combi flamers,CML 5x5GH – Drop Pd Melta, Drop pd Flamer, RB Flamer, RB Flamer, Rb flamer Vindi 2x LF, 3 ML, 2x Las Orks (terrible with this codex) Couple of Warbosses, one with a KFF and claws things all around 10x Nobs 10 lootas 2x 20 slugga 10x shoota 2x6 Kans Pile of Grechins I rolled to win deployment and first turn but Lockjaw was both kunnin’ and brutal and his orks managed to seize. No matter, the Lords of Fenris would not be denied. The Orks charged across the battlefield and unleashed on their attackers. I deployed agressively, as usual, and the loss of initiative didn't hurt this list very much. He closed the distance and shot the way orks do.

CatSmasher Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 The first pods arrive just behind the rush of Orks. The plas team and Flamer squad ravage the squad of nobs and a squad of boys. The demolisher shell from the Vindicator crushed half a squad of Kans, with the Long Fangs picking off more of the now disoriented Meks. The RBack squad shifted their line backward, inviting the orks into HBolter fire. The Landraider rampaged forward and dumped its pay load of WGuard with combi meltas, and two chainfist. The Landraider is in perfect range to punish the sloppy formation of Grechins The wolf guard assault is slowed by the scrap heaps and rubble and with their shooting has put themselves out of range. Caught between the rubble and the Kans storming forward, today was a good day to die.

CatSmasher Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 In his second turn my alpha strike turns his lines around, the orks can’t resist a fight. WAAAGHH! Was called and the Nobs crushed a GH squad in the drop pod, the Wolf Guard that had failed to assault were overwhelmed by Kans, with a Grot getting a kill on a TDA with a chainfist! Lockjaw was grinning ear to ear, but the overwhelming success of the assaults left the Orks exposed to the guns of the Wolves. The next volley from the guns of Fenris would be decisive. The Remaining Kans were targeted by the third pod, with a combi melta WGPL and the LF teams on the ridge. The LandRaider Assault cannon exploding one of the kans and taking some gretchins (grots?) The tactical objective kept the game close, since we didn’t have many to get the game remain tied into the 4th turn. The repeated volleys of the Vindicator and LF squads thinned the lines of the Ork Clan, only Warboss LockJaw and a smattering of boy remained. We determined that although the Wolves had managed to locate and destroy the Orks that had found Logan and Arjac, the Orks had managed to hold enough strategic points at the right time to stall the wolves and allow Lockjaw to escape with his prize.

Karack Blackstone Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Good luck to you in your saga, CatSmasher! I find the name both amusing and concerning, however, if in good jest, all the better!

CatSmasher Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Its a slickster colloquialism referring to "men" in this case. The original reference is to a Mixed Martial Artist named Chris Leben, it was his fighter nic' before he changed it to "the crippler" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294548-battle-brief-search-for-logan-orks-2000pts/#findComment-3763403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
