Waaagh!

 No mere scouting party this time, all the Boyz are here for this one, with the first wave below...

A closeup of the Wartrike and Bikz...

The 'hummies' have been strengthened as well, and are ready to fight for the Emperor...

Unfortunately for the Greenskins, all the Bikz were annihilalted before they could even make their first turn! So the Boyz are joined by Grot tanks, Shokkjump Dragsta and Kustom Boom-blasta while some Gretchins are downed...

The Megatrakk Scrapjet passes by a destroyed Grot tank while the Boyz close in on the defenders...

Two Sentinels stride out to attack, only to be brought low by heavy Ork fire...

Heavy losses are inflicted on some Boyz and the Gretchins...

On the right, the defenders have just about destroyed the Boyz from the first wave while some Beast Snagga Boyz are moving up in support...

A Grot tank, the Runtherder and many more Boyz go down...

Same on the right. Something is not right with the Waaag...

But now the Orks get to it and smash the IG on the left...

Over on the right, Ork fire finally inflicts casualties (oops, where did that Cola bunker come from?)...

On the left, more Boyz mix it up, and a Chimera is destroyed...

As the sun sets (literally), the IG regroups as even more Orks arrive...

The Beast Snagga Boyz are nearly destroyed...

Things are much more Orkky on the left as only a Commissar and Enginseer remain standing...

The remaining Beast Snagga Boyz finally reach the defensive line and inflict numerous casualties...

While the Commissar goes down fighting and yet more Orks arrive, the Scrapjet is blown apart...

Two more Grot tanks are lost but the Orks are still pushing forward...

The IG move up their supporting Chimeras, but there are still a lot of Orks out there...

Time ran out for the Wednesday fight, so i set it up back home and finished the battle solo. The Orks were able to smash up the IG forces in numerous vicious melees which of course they excel at. Even the two Chimeras were vanquished. Very little of the defending force withdrew from the field...

 

 

An Orkish Army for 40K

 Before the next battle report, take a closer look at the 'Greenskins' and their incredibly amusing/fun/enjoying forces...

A Runtherder and his Gretchins (and a pet Squig). What army has a bunch of little 'runts' who can run amuck...

Then a whole bunch of Boyz (each lead by a Nobz)...

Some Beasty Boyz...

Gotta have a Mob Boss and his Nobz Guardz...

And what's a Ork Army without some toyz, like a Wartrike...

Along with some Bikerz...

More 'toyz', a Shokkjump Dragsta...

A Kustom Boosta-blasta...

Then a Megatrakk Scrapjet...

Two views of the Rukkatrukk Squigbuggy, because there are so many fun little additions on this model...

Next up are a collection of Grot Tankz...

That brings up the Grot Mega Tank...

Have to be able to move em Boyz quickly, so there's the Trukk...

Then, there is the massive Bonebreaka...

Two Deff Dreadz, left is the vintage, right is the current...

A Mega Dread...

Of course, what Orkish Army goes w/o a Gorkanaut...

A Big Mek with his favorite toy, a Shokk Attack Gun...

Finally, the Big Warboss in his Mega Armor (second from right), along with some of his Meganobz...

The Boyz and their Mega Battle comes next...

First Contact!

 It was determined to begin the campaign was to stop a Orkish advance on an important Mechanicus Manufactum on the approach to the Hive City Noctorius. Several Imperial Guard (IG) platoons were rapidly landed at the site, literally just before a Orkish reconnaissance force was spotted (top of photo)...

A closeup of the right wing Guard position (note the Lascannon position top center)...

The Orks consisted of 2x Boyz mobs led by a group of Grechins with their Runtherder (the bystander was really interested in the game despite his expression caught on camera)...

The Orks score a lucky long range shot and draw first blood...

A second IG trooper goes down on the right flank...

Some Grenchin join their Ork friends as casualties...

More Orks are put down...

The Orks are flailing to score more hits, but the IG is on target again...

The scouting party is taking serious losses with no noticeable return except for a lascannon...

The Grenchin and their Runtherder are eliminated although they did score one hit...

The Orks had had enough with their abysmal 'shootas' and went all in with a charge and it struck home! A full squad is massacred on the left flank! The Greenskins learn to trust their 'choppas'...

On the right flank, the surviving Orks don't do as much damage...

A second round on that flank causes the IG squad some serious casualties but support is coming up against the lone Greenskin survivor...

The brace IG troopers bring the big Orc down!

Back on the left, it is much more touch and go for the Guard. The second squad too, is wiped out, leaving only an officer and lascannon standing...

But the Guard prevails, and the Scouting party is eliminated...

The Emperor prevails!
