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!
