850 Great Gargant, Warlord
150 Fighta Bombers
350 Big Boyz mob
350 Big Boyz mob
350 Big Blitz, 4 flak, 2 supa guns, 2 gunwagons
200 Blitz, 2 flak, 1 zap, 1 gunwagon
200 Blitz, 2 flak, 1 zap, 1 gunwagon
200 Kult of speed
175 Big guns, zap
175 Big guns, zap

Warlord (CML TLD TLD TLD Lasburner) 850
Warlord (CML GB GB PBG Lasburner, Legate) 875
Reaver (Lasburner, TLD, TLD) 625
Warhound (VMB, PBG) 275
Warhound (VMB, PBG) 275
Sentinels 100

Draw turn 3 due to fading light (vp's Orks had 825, AMTL 575), well more accurately we both had to go collect our respective wives (mine was at the airport).

Summary
Warlord and Reaver barely move, other warlord goes half way, one warhound makes it to other side broken.
Orks charge.
Orks Vassel '6' effect in evidence, Titans had miserable luck (for example the reaver, and both Warlords fired at the big guns formation white - which itself never came off overwatch for the whole game - turn one, doing a grand total of 3bm's.

Deployment
Gatling blaster warlord in centre

If positions were reversed end of turn one and I found myself staring at the zaps I would have charged at least one with a warhound to take the shot and hopefully kill them, then followed up with the battle titans, shooting as we went. The warlords lack of double and fire 90cm+ weaponry though would be problematic.

Yeah the lack of long range weapons was an issue, and given another go I'd have adjusted the load outs considerably. I also don't think that the CML were effective at all that game, too easy to clip targets outside of the umbrella. Will have to think about it a bit more.

I'd originally planned to play a three reaver list to see how it fared, but TRC mentioned that it had been played to death recently so I threw together a warlord list instead.

I tend to play more conservatively with warhounds, trying to save them as a reactionary force or late game mobility. I did make the mistake of having the one outside of cover at the start. I underestimated the speed some of the ork units could get over to it. I think my MVP goes to the poor reaver that just wouldn't die or the sentinels that somehow managed to survive against the ork shooting.

Perhaps next game we should roll real dice and call out the numbers :)

But then you would get bored with me saying '1' all the time when firing Zaps (Vassal is far superior for Ork heavy weaponry!)
