Mission: The Scouring
Deployment: Hammer and Anvil
Ork wins both roll offs and deploys on the left side and takes first turn. I use my Night Attacker trait to get Night in the first turn.
The Ork deploys his Meganobz and Thraka in his battlewagon in the north and his bikers in the south. His Deffkoptas and Dakkajet are in reserve.
I keep my Trygons, Zoanthropes, Doom and Devilgants in reserve and deploy the rest of my army in the north partly hidden behind a hill.
Turn 1
The Orks race toward me, eager to stuck in. I love it when the enemy comes to me!
I do my usual thing of lurking in the corner while I wait for my trap to spring. Some termagants are spawned to keep the Nobz from charging my big boys and girls.
Turn 2
The Dakkajet and Deffkoptas enter to board. He chooses to send his Koptas to the 4 point flag since Fast Attack are scoring in this mission.
The Meganobz and Thraka disembark, fire their Kombi-Skorchas and wipe out a brood of Termagants, resulting in First Blood for the Orks. Collateral damage from the Skorchas combined with Supa Shootas from the jet almost wipes out another brood of Termagants. The Meganobz can't assault because they wiped out their shooting target. His bikers move up to my south flank.
All three Trygons, the Doom and the Zoanthropes enter the battle. The Devilgants don't enter and I manage to forget about them for the rest of the game!
I fire everything I got and do a few sporadic wounds a both the Meganobz and the Nob Bikers. All Nobz are characters so he wisely does his Look out, Sir!'s and allocates the wounds where he wishes.
Termagants and the Swarmlord assault the Meganobz.
Thraka challenges and the Swarmlord accepts. Thraka calls a Waaaaaaaaagh!
The fighting is off to a bad start for the Tyranids as Thraka wounds the Swarmlord and the Meganobz kill both Tyrant Guards and nearly all the Termagants.
Turn 3
The Battlewagon tank shocks a Trygon and wounds it.
The Dakkajet, Deffkoptas and Nob bikers all fire at my southwest Trygon, but only manage to do 1 wound. Standing in an Iceblood river really helped him.
The bikers charge two Trygons, killing one and doing four wounds on the other. The Trygons only manage 3 wounds back since the Nobz have Cybork Bodies and a Painboy.
Thraka does two more wounds to the Swarmlord and the Meganobz kill the two remaining Termagants, but the Doom's scream does 7 wounds to the Meganobz!
The Zoanthrope with Objuration Mechanicum and the Hive Guards do two glancing hits on the Dakkajet between them, only one hullpoint left.
Various Shockwaves do one wound on the Meganobz.
Freshly spawned rush to aid the Swarmlord and do two wounds to the Meganobz. Thraka and the Swarmlord do two wounds each, and the Swarmlord is down to his last wound!
Another Trygon and some Termagants join the fight against the Nob Bikers. Three termagants and a Trygon dies, while the Bikers only suffer three wounds.
My south Tervigon charges the Battlewagon, immobilizing it and taking away three hullpoints.
Turn 4
The Doom of Malan'tai and the Swarmlord finish off Thraka and his retinue.
The last Trygon does three wounds on the Bikers before he dies to their massed Power Klaws.
The Tervigon finishes off the Battlewagon.
The Zoanthropes use Gate of Infinity to dispose of the Deffkoptas at the four point flag, but unfortunately the Koptas manage to Deny the Witch on their Shriek.
The Doom screams, doing three wounds on the bikers and then charges them along with a Tervigon. The Tervigon faces the Biker Warboss in a challenge and destroys him with smash.
Turn 5
The Deffkoptas fire their Rokkits at the Zoanthropes, but are unable to penetrate their psychic shields.
My hero Tervigon kills the Biker Painboy, and the remaining biker only kills a couple of Termagants. The Doom and Tervigon are unable to get into base contact with the last Biker and consolidate.
A scream from the Doom then finishes off the last Biker, while a devastating Shriek from the Zoanthropes kill 4 Koptas.
With his last Kopta on the run, the Ork concedes.
Final Score:
Tyranids 7 pt
6 pts from flags
1 pt from Slay the Warlord
Orks 1 pt
1 pt from First Blood
In summary: Nom nom. Even though I forgot about my Devilgants I still managed a nice victory. I'm now 7-0 with this list
