2012.01.12 Team Tournament at DGG



I attended a team tournament at Dirty Goblin Games this Saturday.  My ally and I both played Orks.  We had a great time.  We also won all of our games and won the tournament.  Here are the lists we took.

1200 Pts - Codex: Orks Roster - Team Tourney "Convoy"

1 Mad Dok Drillteef D.D.S., 160 pts

1 Mega-armoured Warboss, 110 pts (Bosspole; Cybork Body;  Warlord)

9 Meganobz, 515 pts (Count as Troop Troops; Cybork Body)
  1 Battlewagon (Grot Rigger; Red Paint Job; Reinforced Ram; Big Shoota x1)

14 Boyz, 105 pts
   1 Boyz Nob (Bosspole)

1 Battlewagon, 120 pts (Deff Rolla; Red Paint Job; Big Shoota x1)

15 Gretchin, 55 pts
   1 Runtherd

1 Battlewagon, 135 pts ('Ard Case; Boarding Plank; Deff Rolla; Big Shoota x1)

1200 Pts - Codex: Orks Roster - Team Tourney "Wing and a Prayer"

1 Weirdboy, 85 pts ( Warlord; Warphead)

1 Weirdboy, 85 pts (Warphead)

1 Dakkajet, 130 pts (Fighta Ace; TL Supa Shoota)

1 Dakkajet, 130 pts (Fighta Ace; TL Supa Shoota)

1 Dakkajet, 130 pts (Fighta Ace; TL Supa Shoota)

29 Boyz, 210 pts (Shootas; Big Shoota x2)
   1 Boyz Nob (Bosspole; Big Shoota)

29 Boyz, 210 pts (Shootas; Big Shoota x2)
   1 Boyz Nob (Bosspole; Big Shoota)

1 Aegis Defence Lines, 70 pts (Comms Relay)

5 Lootas, 75 pts

 5 Lootas, 75 pts

It's a pretty standard Ork contingent. It takes advantage of the team tournament format allowing two sides of the army to call separate WAAGH!s, so the Dakkajets can use theirs for shooting and the Battlewagons can use theirs for assaulting.

Our opponents were as follows:

Round 1: Necrons and CSM with standard mechanized Necrons, a night scythe, 2 Heldrakes, and a smattering of other things including a big squad of bikes.   This list gave us the biggest challenge.  The bikes had a lot of momentum right off the bat and chewed up a mob of boyz.  Only the new fearless rules saved the second squad from destruction.  The Meganobz and Mad Doc ate far more than their cost in points.  The Dakkajets were actually rather lackluster in this game.  We successfully moved the big squads of boyz out into the field 18" before the Heldrakes came on, thus robbing them of the destruction of our Lootaz when they came on.   Spreading out with maximum distance unit cohesion IS annoying, but necessary when fighting Heldrakes.

Round 2: Space Marines and Tau with the standard fare of tau and a Kahn list. This was our easiest game, but still very fun.  We had a Hammer & Anvil deployment with a 5-objective Big Guns Never Tire.  I risked placing my Battlewagons in a forward position behind cover. The gamble paid off because even if our opponents had killed all the battlewagons, they could never have taken us because we had taken or contested their objectives thanks to our violent assaults.

Round 3: chaos Daemons and Orks with fateweaver, flamers, screamers, horrors, boyz, big meks, and dakkajets.  This was our most fun game.  Again, utilizing the full 2" unit cohesion is annoying and time-consuming, but absolutely necessary.  As usual, Fateweaver took nearly all of our 2nd round shooting and ran home crying.  This was a tough battle as I made a few target priority mistakes and also deployed Mad Doc in front of the wrong unit.  We did manage to squeak it out in the end.

As usual, we had a great time at Dirty Goblin Games in Queensbury, New York.  I hope to make it to the singles tournament later in the month.

Ordo Draconis Armies on Parade

As I finish up models that have been sitting in my queue, I've been doing army shots including them. Last week, I finished up the knight models I had lying around. The lore for Knight House Draco has advanced in the Era Indomitus. The house's pencheant for daemon fighting has caught the eye of the Ordo Malleus and they have been brought into the fold. Their worlds have been put under communications blackout and household forces sworn to the crusade against the Ruinous Powers. They are now known as the Ordo Draconis and even Greater Daemons tremble at the mere mention of their name. Tiamat Drogon Gojira Melificent Falcor Smaug Jabberwocky Jormungandr The Eye Stalkers

How Did it Come to This? 10,000 Points of Painted Orks

One can only make so many milestone posts before people eventually get soul-crushingly bored of them.  However, I'm going to make an exception here because with my Vengeance Batteries, I've reached a total of 10,000 points painted with my Orks.  These points include reasonable upgrades, but not ridiculous add-ons like Kill Kannons for the Battlewagons.  Let's not be silly . Here's a video of the army.  Unlike the one I did for 7,000, this does not include a running commentary of each unit.  I simply cannot find the time to do that.  However, at the end of the post, please find a complete army list. Please try to view in YouTube instead of this embed because I uploaded it at full resolution and it took me forever.  You won't be disappointed! I started playing this game in 2010 when some friends and I suddenly realized that we finally had grown-up jobs and could actually afford it.  I'd always danced around the idea of collecting Orks either for F

As usual, the Rogue Trader idea keeps percolating and collecting one kit at a time in its little, plastic container. Orks: 9x Killa Kans 3x Deffkoptas (also need to rebase
