Following the defeat of the Greenskins at the Shrines, the Imperial Forces pushed on to smash their final holdings on the Hive World, Ulant. With the departure of the Bad Moons under their WarBoss Uthak Blackhawk, the much weakened Evil Sunz were forced to follow the Blood Axe WarBoss Uzrog Trakeye. The last stronghold for both Clans was Codenamed Cobalt by the Imperium. This was that battle...
Looking over the Forces of the Imperium towards the Orks encampment, with the Orks drawing first blood, destroying a Sentinel. In the background (left to right) you can see a Gorkanaut; Battlewagon; Deff Dread and Grot tanks; Monster Squigs and a second Battleagon; and some SquigBoyz..
A Krieg Squad and a Ogryn detachment, unload from their Chiimeras which have taken hits. To the left is a Plasma Cannon LemanRuss..
One of the Battlewagons has taken heavy hits already from the Imperial Armor and one of the SquigBoyz is down as well...
On the Ork right Flank, more Krieg and Ogryns have unloaded, while here too, the Battlewagon has taken numerous hits...
Even the Gorkanaut has been hit. Unfortunately it moved beyond the assistance of its Mek (seen to the lower left)...
The Grots and their tanks charge into the Krieg and Ogryns and take down some. The Chimera take some hits as well. But they are then annihilated in return...
The Grot Mega Tank charges into the LemanRus but all of its damage (9 pts) are self-inflicted by overloading Plasma!
The Battlewagon with the Greenskins left flanks charges and nearly wipes out three Ogryns; but it too pays the price as Imperial tanks brew it up...
The SquigBoyz are pushing on, preparing for their charge...
The battlefield at the end of two rounds, with Imperial Armor reinforcements at far left (inc LemanRuss tanks lower left, and RogalDorn tanks top left). Ork Stompa has arrived (top right) as well as a Super-Stompa and MegaDread (lower right). Note a Deff Dread has been lost by the Orks at bottom...
The Mega Dread has some serious damage as well! The LemanRuss tanks can sting...
Numerous losses suffered by both sides; a Leman Rus and the Walkanator (Mega Dredd); a Chimera and a couple of Squigsaurs...
The last Ogryn was lost as well...
The Imperium strikes hard, downing a Dreff Dredd, Grot Mega Tank and some Squigs while losing another Chimera...
Then the Gorganaut destroys yet another Chimera...
The Gargantuan Squiggoth charges and takes down another Chimera...
The Mega Dredd charges and destroys the final Chimera, while the Monster Squigs take on the Baneblade which just appeared...
While the Gorganaut devastates a large Krieg unit, it fails to charge home (by a single inch!) and then gets laid low by the Imperium...
During the same charge phase, the Stompa failed its charge by two inches and now has only a few hit points remaining. And talking about a really bad phase, the Super Stumpa fails its charge by two inches!...
A view of the Ork supporting artillery...
Located right behind the Gargantuan Squiggith is the Bubble Chucker Gun (center)...
Another piece of Ork artillery, along with a Kill Rig and Killa Kans...
A Sentinel and Squigsaur face off while a Leman Russ and another large Krieg unit move up...
Two Rogal Dorns move up towards the downed Gorganaut...
The Super Stompa has lost nearly half its points...
Great view of the upper works of the Gargantuan Squiggoth, a lot of weapons...
to be continued...
