Battle Report (FYI Zero Editing) Orks w Necron Allies Vs Grey Knights, Luke Vs Mack

In a Reclusive corner of the Galaxy exists a lonely cold Planetoid. While the inhabitants are numerous, they can be broken down into two populations: the especially numerous and sleepy Necrons and the infinite infesting Orks. During the War against the old ones, this Planetoid was a Necron strong point, able to move anywhere it needed to be and deploy countless legions. In an attempt to block up or disable the strong point the old ones summon one of their newest and proudest creations the “Ork”. The Genius of the Ork, is that if killed, the fallen body pollinates the surrounding area with millions of Orky spores, that if left un purged, will grow with innate mastery of Combat, Teknology, or wielding the warp into Grots (which run and hide) and then Orks (gather weapons), and some will grow into Nobs (build gangs). The final step is when a War boss emerges who can Rally the Gags into a terrifying Forces of destruction.

Unfortunately for the Base, Necron Warriors don’t retain enough cleverness to ensure a complete Purge, and the outer shell of the Fort quickly became blocked up, rendering the strong point more of a liability. Responding the Silent King kicked the base into sleep mode and sent it into the depths of space hoping the deep coldness would over time freeze away the infestation. Then like the rest of the Necron tome worlds, it was forgotten.

Until one fateful night when BenderHoeTep (BHT) discovered it drifting in space, getting awfully close to a young sun. Knowing the inherent prestige such a fortress would offer, the risks went uncalculated and all processing power was diverted to planning the reclamation and restoration of BHT’s new home world.

BHT was able to Land and Link in his battleship and gaining access to the computer system almost immediately, it also became clear that this was no Necron paradise but an Icy Tome. What followed next was the 2nd war for the strong point, the nearby sun had already warmed up ancient spores and the Orks had wasted no time in making a mess.

Over the next few decades of conflict several Ork tribes formed, a chaos daemon lair attached itself to the Base, and even a way ward Tyranid spore impacted the fort and grew into a nice little swarm. BHT maintained an Iron grip on the Command deck and the interior (for the most part) because of his incredibly tight perimeter defense, but he couldn’t get out, always he thought of possible solutions to his unwanted guests.. And then one day inspiration called.. Actually it was Dag~Nail (Super Genius) the Warboss of the Blue Pantaloons calling.
“Waaagh, BHT I Waaagh you,., your no fair fighting! Let’s go together to Fight the Spack Marin! I see’in them Planet side..”
“Dag~Nail! Greetings. Are you saying you want to leave the station and go planet side to Fight?”
“Zug, and you’re coming too!”
“ZUG, Have your Boys stand by at the Invasion Beamers and I’ll meeting you Planet side!”

BHT felt it best to not add much Ceremony to such a glorious alliance! He had contemplated Partnership with Orks in the past, they are such a useful species but they just don’t have a work able disposition. In this case he felt it’s just best to let the Orks do as they please. BHT quickly made a task force up of his more Impressive yet expendable troops, Flayed Ones, Destroyers, Immortals in a Night Scythe, Annihilation Barge and a Catacomb Command Barge.. A pretty nice display.

The Invasion Beamers were right in the middle of Ork territory, the technology Hummed back to life and the Orks swarmed the Portals as if it was Black Friday in Kanas city. BHT Magestically on his Barge followed by the A. Barge floated into the portal while the Rest of the Necron force conducted Orbital incretions.

Riding out of the portal was a high point for BHT, he really felt like a Boss using the old the tech for its intended purpose, Invasion. He quickly spotted Dag~nail and his trusty Doctor Sang-Gwitch at a forward command position.
Dag~nail Smiled, and said “Ok, your Right flank, we’ll hold until your boys soften them up.”

Put off his High Horse by such a Command BHT rebuttled “Well that’s not very Orky,.. Shouldn’t you just charge your boys head long into their guns?”

“HAR HAR HAR, No, I’m da Super Genius Boss!, unless you wanna be the boss, Listen” Dag~nail fires up his Robotic Claw and Flexes his incredible green body, stretching his Magnificent Blue Pantaloons to the Max.

“No, that’s quite alright, your da boss.” BHT reluctantly skims over to the right flank.. Where he starts checking “Up to the Nano Necron News” and “As we Slumber Drama Feed” on his monitor.

Game Begins..

BHT peering at his monitor muttering to himself “I can’t believe he Is the Fabricator..” When suddenly his command barge is Rocked by enemy fire.. Shields down.. 1 pilot destroyed.. BHT adjusts his search protocols to figure out what hit him when he spots a Nemesis Dreadnought. Quickly checking his Pockets for some Mind Shackle Scarabs BHT instructs his pilot to charge that bastard! Not able to find any Scarabs in his front pockets, BHT continues his search in his secret Cloak pockets.. and then in the dash.. and looks up just in time to see a massive Sword cleaving his Barge and Leg right in 2.. Massive damage protocols engaged and emergency transport back to the Strong Point. First Blood to the Grey Knights.

A turn or 4 latter The Orks have been eating bullets and their numbers are dwindling, but not as fast as the Grey Knights would like. Grey Knight Reserve forces that should have come on the first turn have been delayed until turn 4 but now the master plan comes together. A Huge Squad of Paladins lands right next to Dag~nail, his 30 odd boys and Dr. Sang-Gwitch.. Precision shooting takes out the squad Nob, just before an Nemesis Dread Knight Smashes into the unit, Challenging anyone strong enough to take him on.

Dag~nail Bellows out, “I’m the strongest and the Smartest!” SangGwitch jumps infront of him and Pleads.. “No Mr.Dag~nial.. You’ll Die, let me share the load” ..The 2 Orks locks eyes for a moment before Dag~nail firmly retorts “Ha, this is my Burden, I must see it Done! Waagh”

Turning to face the Dread Knight, Dag~nail is Caught right in the shoulder by the Knight’s Epic sword.. removing an Arm and a Leg.. And some midsection… guts splewing all over.. Warlord Kill to the Grey Knights

A shrill Fear grips the Boys as their Leader falls,. They are just about to run when a Stern voice and Awful Urty syringe stabs out at them “Don’t abandon your Special Leader now!, he needs you boys.. Rally!” A few of group gets holes in their faces.. but the rest Hold..

The Ork Boys Hold long enough for the Flayed ones Unit to counter charge the dread Knight, which has now almost finished slaughtering the OrK boys, Just old Sang-Gwicht who, was busy gathering up Dag~nail and whimpering, “I’m your Sang, I’m your Sang.. You’ll be ok once I put you back together.” No one hears the wimpers over the pathetic sound of Flayer Claws on Knight’s Armour.. 80 attemps and not a scratch.. Smashed Orks all around the Knight, one Boy (holding a leg) and SangGwitch Flee.. getting Dag~nails body(most of) to safety.

Well, I can’t remember much else, Fun game.. took almost 5 hours to play!

Thanks Mack, Good Game

Narrative Battle Telling- for October 12^th –

Note: I’m not a writer, this write up is just for fun. I challenge everyone to follow my lead.  1850 points, The Relic.. super fun.

Overlord BenderHoeTep Smiled as the 2^nd to last episode of breaking bad finished, with a Robotic yawn BHT reached for the control console.. it lay slightly out of reach. After stressing his servos one more time he sent a priority request to his Cyptek Walter(lovenly named after the BB charater). Being the Overlord of a small band of loyal Necrons had its perks; it’s just a bit lonely as his minions lacked creativity and spontaneity.  BHT had been sleeping for thousands of years and while the other Lords of the Necron were eager for the re conquest of the galaxy, BHT was more interested in finding good media.  Many Necrons from the lower ranks had flocked to his side after he shared his Batman collection on the InterNetron , Most importantly truly insane destroyer Lord ToeKayBee (whom commanded a large contingent of Crynoteck)… true story, ToeKayBee actually thinks he is the character 2-face.. Forever chasing Batman.

Walter finally showed up,   “Walter, engage the next episode of breaking bad and leave” the Tech shuffles over to the Control console and began accessing the data. His motions began to hasten and a small shadow of fear crept into BHTs mind.. He watched as the tech became more hyper and then suddenly froze. “What’s the matter, Walter?”.. . . . . Erm, we have no record of the last episode.. Erm “well where can we find it!”  Scanning…  Scanning – recommendation planet system: Astranar.

The approach was easy, the system was in total chaos with some kind of strange convergence.. Just outside of the Hive city Stu was a secluded mountain, the perfect place for a base.   Walt had located a secluded data repository within striking distance and waited for command.  BenderHoeTep Summoned Lord ToeKayBee – “Greeting Lord ToeKayBee, the glory will be yours if you can achieve this Vital goal” Exclaimed BHT, “We’ll being firing one shot from the Doomsday Cannon to destroyer the structure and make sure no fleshies are hiding inside.. Then you and your men swoop in and take the data repository!” Lord ToeKayBee responded with his affirming “Eng” sounds.. “Walter Prepare the Cannon, Lord ToeKayBee prepare your men.”

As the Biologic dissolving blasts from the Cannon flew past the fast moving Necron force, Lord ToeKayBee and his brother Count Goomie linked up with their wraith wings. Each Destroyer lord would inspire their six wraiths with unrelenting hatred. For support they brought 3 spyder and a small brood of Scarabs, which would grow rapidly if needed. 2 Barges and 2 Night scythes full of Necron Immortals. The job of collecting the depository was tasked to the Immortals; they had the best finger servos’.

The necron force landed surprised to see a small pack of armoured women standing against their advance….   With ease Lord ToeKayBee secured a ring around the target as the Wraiths fended off  Marines coming from every angle, ever being thrown down but  the Space Marines keep Rallying and hosing on fire again and again.

Immortal Squad Alpha dropped down and took aim at the dreadnoughts, while the Omega took aim at a tactical squad. One Spyder ruptured to death while birthing Scarabs the remaining 2 Spyders leapt into the fray engaging a lone dreadnought, eventually pummelling it to scrap. The Scarabs tied up 3 more dreadnought and the foolish Saint Celestine, whom valiantly fought on while just covered in Waves of Scarabs.

~ Lord Vulkan came Hurtling down from the sky in his drop pod, right into the Center of the necron Ring.. Even though his Unit was instantly Kill by Wraiths, he ran away, only to Rally and slay the Alpha Immortal Squad which had been weakened by the TAC squad. Seeing Alpha go down hard Omega Immortals jumped back into their Night scythe evading the endless bolter fire from the Marines.

Standing on the large pile of entangled Marine and Immortal carcasses Lord Vulkan scream his Superiority, only to be gunned down by combined fire from Night Scythe and Annihilation barge. Count Goomie charged over War machines and scarab bits to counter Saint Celestine’s savage onslaught.    Omega Immortals disembarked awkwardly from the Night Scythe a bit out of position, after taking some pot shots they begin a clumsy march to the Data repository (Relic) .   Saint Celestine showing incredible mental toughness fends off Count Goomie’s Mind Shackle Scarabs, only to be run threw by his girthy War scythe.

The small Elite Necron force began to wilt, desperately regrouping towards the depository the Necrons fought on., Lord ToeKayBee joined the remaining Immortals to shield them from presistant bolter fire, hoping they could complete the mission -> when<- out of the darkness Saint Celestine suddenly reappeared, her flamer unleashing a torrent of death and focusing the remaining bolter fire onto the immortal squad. While the impressive fire would normally have won the day the necrons weathered it, if not for one stray Melta shot that hit Lord ToeKayBee right on the chin, disabling him for a time and sending the Necron forces to phase out, the game ended with the Relic just out of reach by the Immortals and Lord Vulkans force winning 3-2. While watching the video footage Overlord BenderHoeTep reached out and grasped, once again his prize was just out of reach.

Next time.

Score was 3-2

Land score first Blood, HQ and Line breaker

Luke Scored HQ and 1 kill in challenge trait bonus.

I made at least 2 major mistake, I didn’t secure the relic with my immortals due to poor movement, and I didn’t secure line breaker or move fast enough to challenge lands.

Pretty Sweet game.

Thanks Land!
