My first /game table /mini show off /battle report

[juiced]

i thought i would try something different and kill three firsts in one topic.

here is my first ever game table, i've wanted one scince i was 14, i finally make one at 36 .
its made out of recycled plywood and dyed old white towels.

I made some sand areas for interest and i washed the dyed towels with darker greens and brown paint.
this used a whole large container of PVA. hahaheee

[juiced]

i have a few minis i want to show off and i thought i would do it in my first battle report ever.

so here is an 760 pt game with my 8 year old son played this arvo.....he did get bored but this was more a photo essay and my desire to play on the finished table

i made a smaller table for such small armies, but have the option to go bigger if i want.

turn one

THE ORKS

Krackong raised his klaw to shut the constant bickering of his boyz behind him.
they hadn't eaten properly in days and if they didn't get some Oomin meat soon they might have to eat his newly trained Ammo runt,just to stop them from tearing each other a part.

they shut up as he sniffed the air,what was that smell.....he knew it well,but there were no skinny Oomies around here .HA funny green dress and there stoopid zap gunz he knew his warboss was taking care of them 2 days march in that direction.

his boyz started talking again, Krackongs long pauses ment he was doin something....l ike thinking and this may take a while.......
SHADDUP. he yelled in anger,there was a crackle in his speaker vox thing that his runt was holding for him.
it was thouse slippery evil bastards SLINK and his komandos...... .they had spotted them Dark blue in shinny armour.
AT LAST a real challenge. Space marines.


you boyz go that way around that bloody great hill see if ya can sneek up on them.

[juiced]

the orks where out of range for every thing but my war bosses one shot wonder of a built in rokkit launcher.....
it missed tempted to use my runt, but i didn't

[juiced]

turn one

the crimson fists

Kantor knew they where coming. they had been picking off small groups of orks for weeks now, and this larger group was all that was stopping him from freeing the supply chain for the imperial gaurd, battling further to the west.

MARINES HOLD.steady your position ....... aim fire when ready.

as an after thought he sent a quick message over his vox unit to his second sergent ....get your men over that hill.
meet the split off mob head on if you can.

bolter fire ripped around him but his enchanced sensors could tell none had met there mark......then there was a rush of air and a frag missile flew over head to to land in a bright bloom of fire right on what looked to be there leader...

[juiced]

direct hit warboss doe's not make his save and loses a wound.....firs t blood to the marines

[juiced]

turn two
rolled for my reserves...... .and on comes my looted wagon....my first ever conversion. did it late last year

Krackong stummbled from the impact and bits of his mega armour went flying,FRAG THAT ,he could feel his anger rise as he began to bleed through the joints of his mechanical might. he was about to let his full force of the waaaargh surge through him, when he was distracted by the screaming roar of a battle tank speeding down the road towards him....

the inside of the boom tank was cramped and hot ,the boom gun was so big that snotig and his band of riggers had a hard time doing what the orks wanted him to do....sometime s he couldn't quite hear and would just push anything to make it work,and it usally did.....but not this time.



i rolled "don't press dat "so it sent it down the road to its full length of movement.

[juiced]

after the tank had moved i decided it was time everybody got going and moved forward.

[juiced]

turn two

the marines
my son rolled for reserves and got his terminators, he rolled for deep strike and got another hit ( thats his second with the scatter dice )


he was still trying to get his marines up that hill (see a hill got to climb it ) he rolled a shocking 3 for difficult terrain



KANTOR stared on in wonder as a great tank skidded to a halt right in his line of sight. bile raised in mouth as he recognised the remains of an imperial BASKLISK , its hull festooned with crude paintings and glyphs.......h is blood boiled also with the knowledge that he did not have the fire power to take on its armour.....

a battle cry formed in his mouth and he moved his squad forwards to take the fight to the beasts...

[juiced]

ok its late and will post more tommorrow hope you are enjoying comments are more than welcome

[juiced]

so....  Kantor moves his squad forward and fires his FIST OF DORN missing everyone in the process.
The newly arrived terminators fired there storm bolters.
 (not sure if you can do that straight after deep strike i didn't check ) taking out one ork. and moved into assault ready to rip with there power fists......


KANTOR calls his assault and an epic struggle of two leaders ensue leaving kantor down a wound

[NeckFace]

yep, firing after deep striking is ok.

i swear those little white and red dice you get from GW are cursed

looking forward to more

[juiced]

Turn three
 
THE ORKS

WaaaaaaaaRgh,well i thought i  would do it now but there was no point really apart from my boys up by the hill to get them around quicker


the assault on Kantor gose horribly wrong taking 3 wounds and losing this round..... then freeking out and running to the hills ( I refuse to believe that my Nobz and Warboss where beaten to a pulp....they just got scared thats all)

[juiced]

On the other had ....the dice gods were with me on this side of the battle field, and my shoota boyz manage to win close assault with the termys , who fail there saves......all but one

[juiced]

Its about this time my 8yr old boy is saying this is a stink game....and you are making the rules up so i can win

turn three

THE MARINES
 
the squad on the hill takes pot shots at the ard boyz coming around the bend, with the flamer doing the most damage.


its all assaults now Kantor is within range to take on the looted wagon,and the sergent has a 2nd power fist you can tell what happens next


the terminator captain takes on the boyz and gets eaten alive!!!...but not before he takes a couple with him

[juiced]

turn four

THE ORKS

roll for reserves...... .in comes SLINK and his komandos....ha ve converted the two old tankbuster boyz to be Komandos have converted eight more boyz but i have not finished painting them yet.

[juiced]

two mobz of boyz bearing down on kantor and his squad....wish i had used my waaaargh now.


combined shooting and the two flamers in the komanders take out 6 marines.
the ard boyz come into range all three mobz assault.

[juiced]

Turn five
the roll........ its the final turn

turn fours assault took kantors squad down to him and his sergent....... they fight with all the might of the Crimson fist chapter but they fall under the iron shod boots of dirty green skins


the assault on the hill goe's from bad to worst many orks fall but every man bar the sergent is cut down......he grits his teeth and starts his chain sword...this anit over till its over....FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!

[juiced]

YAY i did it! my first (and proberbly only) battle report. hope you enjoyed it .....Orks won in the end thanks to bad armour saves on the marines part.
