Every week I endeavour to get a game in. And for the most part I try and write a new list. It’s always good to try out new units and combinations of units.
I’ve recently acquired Ghazghkull and was desperate to try him out. This week’s game was against my mate’s Blue Boys (Ultra Marines)-

We did the ‘Fight to the Death’ mission from the ‘Battle Missions’ book, playing on a 6’x4’ table. My Orks took the place of the Chaos Daemons.
It was good game of swings & roundabouts with an awesome face off between Ghazghkull and Marneus Calgar, the Big G coming out on top. Ghazghkull was eventually taken down by three sergeants with power fists (ouch!!).
The game ended with the annihilation of the marines.

My army list looked something like this.
ReplyDeleteMarneus
5 TH/SS Assault Marines in LRR with MM.
3 x 10 man Tactical squads in rhino's with ML, flamer, and PF.
5 man Tactical squad in Razorback.
2 x 10 man assault squad with PF's.
Total -2000 pts on the nose.
I have to add here that Marneus was severely hampered by some appalling rolls to hit, and the fact that he had already suffered a wound from a buried power claw. The combat did only last one round though, so all credit to big G for some well executed ultraviolence.
It will be different next time they face off.
Also, credit goes to the orks for making the win look easy despite the wrong half of the army turning up first turn, and a disastrous first turn for the Tank Bustas after failing to hit any of the tanks that were generously presenting their side armour, and then getting mown down by a rapid firing assault squad.
