We played a 5,000 point battle of SM2/Titan Legions today. ?It was a very close and deadly game and I thought my Imperials were surely doomed early in Turn 1 but we pulled through!

I fielded a Warlord battle group, a Reaver battle group, Knight household, Crusader Knight detachment, Warhound detachment, Leman Russ company, and an Ordinatus Armageddon.

Orks fielded a Mega Gargant, Great Gargant mob, Mekboy Gargant, Speed Freak army, Mekboy Shok Attack gun detachment, Mekboy Bubba Chukka, and a mob of Boyz and wagons.

Not the best set up board but it was easy. ?My buddy could use to paint his Orks too!


Things started out well enough:


Moving forward, securing objectives and getting our firing formations set up:


Big unpainted Ork badness:


And little unpainted Ork badness:

Ork fire brings down two Warlords in a row in Turn 1 with reactor breaches:

We returned the favor with one Warp missile that luckily struck an impressive explosion in the ammo magazine of the Mega Gargant:


Another Great Gargant followed along with another magazine explosion via warp missile!


This turned the tide of the battle as the early decimation of the Knights and Leman Russ company had me believing it would be a bad day for the Emperor.


Speed Freaks rush forward and claim an objective:


This ended Turn 1 with a score of Legio Victorum 39 VP's and Orks 38 VP's.  50 VP's are needed for the win.

Orks moving forward on Turn 2:


Speed Freaks engage a Warhound in assault, they cripple it but fail to destroy it.


Overhead devastation as the battlefield becomes more sparse:


Ork gargants begin to feel the withering effects of Imperial firepower as the fires within them are stoked to deadly results:


Mekboy Gargant facing off against Reavers and holding his own:


Despite a catastrophic weapon explosion and being immobilized, the little Mekboy Gargant stays in teh fight:


History is made as an Ork Bubba Chukka lives long enough to fire its bizarre weaponry... to no effect!


Imperials close the noose on the Orks and secure the final victory by the end of Turn 2:

I just wish my friend would get those Orks painted.  He does have several different armies for several different games however and some are completely fault him.
