Stuart did well, had a plan, stuck by it and reaped the reward. Mirror image on the other side of the hill...

AI on Friday- perhaps some revenge.

Thanks for the link btw Zap.

I thought I'd caught that thread. I'll continue to use rough riders in moderation, for all that it's tempting to not! Orc mania leant me the Gaunt's Ghost's novel, pretty good pulp really. Devoured it in a day but he hasn't leant me anything since. Nor been on line to comment on his victory. I'd be ...

Ahh, the rules. Reading them is such a novel concept. No wonder it used to vex my old opponent- he'd have read the rules and digested them, re-read them and all, and there was I playing as if it was still 1992 and going about every 5 minutes "Ohh they've changed that have they?" Yes I see that the V...

I always liked to use cavalry, but thought I read somewhere that they were a unique card so have been using them sparingly. 33 stands at plus 3 is awesome... Also tried to play without artillery- screen concept for the battle. I also liked to use the wind rider host as light tanks, Vipers can walk a...

Cheers guys. 2000 points and a large table seem to make for a tense game. Also gives free cards more importance- it's bad enough with the pirates and the madboyz, but am guessing an Avatar would be worse. And now that you've given me the idea I'll cut out some clear plastic templates for the dragsta...

"New slaves" was the comment from the orks, as the Assault gd pin in close combat with the dragsta then fail morale...

Behind you can see the ghost of the bike platoon's charge- just their blue order counter (fading spectrally on the read out screen in the Command Leviathan 20 clicks away...)

Left flank hanging on grimly. Commissar and a new Lt hold off the Ork hordes. New lt is new cause the old section HQ stand got trodden on...

Turn 5 IG win initiative. Paralysis gives way to action but it is probably too little too late. Space Pirates switch to close assault to clear my guard from in front of their lines. I throw in HQ and reserve platoon to help with the combat. I also throw the last assault platoon up the hill to close ...

Turn 4 Orks win initiative. Virtually the entire Ork army is on first fire. This feels like a very bad thing. I stop my centre Tac platoon from crossing the bridge and keep my assault troops hunkered down in their boulders. They get few casualties but achieve nothing save picking off a wartrack. My ...

Turn 3 Orks win initiative. I get snap fire out of the way. He gets another Thunderbolt, though the last one gets the last flakwagon. Just need to pass morale now... Baneblade enagaged by Kustom kannons, 1 hit gets through and a six is duly rolled for damage. All of a sudden I have nothing left on t...

The gamblers pass. My fliers wing over to destroy 2 flak wagons and a lifta droppa, but lose 1 plane. If I can just survive next turn my planes will be able to rake his bikes without reply...

Turn 2 ork right spreads out on the plateau as my troopers watch. You can see the FW models behind, just outside dragta cover. Lovely models- will look lovely painted.

Photo shows the ork right reaching the crest of the flat open hill to my left, with my troopers in the woods to the ork front and the bridge behind.

Turn 2 Orks win initiative. Ork rightmost clump deploys onto the plateau near my tactical detachment shoring up my left flank. Pirates advance to defensive positions in their wood. Madboyz switch to first fire. Stompas retreat back into the woods. Overlook troops advance over the bridge and are foll...
