The Battle:
Orks ain't fond of Grey Knights. Fortunately there were no purifiers present, actually there
were no Grey Knights in the list at all. Which makes it interesting
twist from the standard canned spam Cortez list. The Orks shooting
consisting of six deff koptas may have been lightly outmatched but
them is the breaks. The Grey Knight got to go first. The Razorbacks
deployed in massaround the Knight's base with the exception of one
which joined a rifleman and assassin opposite the Ork base. The
remaining riflemen spread evenly across the deployment zone while the
Ravens went in the middle waiting for targets. The Orks opted to
reserve.
Turns one and two were
quiet with the no Orks on the field and so no targets for the
Knights. This changed when a single Deff Kopta mob and a token
Wagon mob rolled into place. The Wagon secured the Ork base. while
the Koptas went after the rifleman and lone Razorback threatening the
Ork base. Rockets and Shootas only immobilised the Razorback. The
Koptas then assaulted both units to pin the riflemen in combat and
avoid a round of Knights shooting. Now with targets the Knights
started to move, the two Ravens shuffled forward, aware that Snikrot
with Ghaz still had not made an appearance. The Riflemen and the
Vindicare put hits on the Wagon but could not cause any damage.
Combat ineffective the riflemen failed to hit the koptas. The saw
failed to hurt the immobilised razorback and then the koptas failed
to break off.
Ghaz sets fire to a lone Rifleman
More Orks started to
appear, two Wagons rolled on and took up positions near the Ork base.
Ghaz and friends showed up in support of the Koptas. Another Kopta mob
arrived and tried to take out the assassin with shooting but failed
to have an effect. Ghaz and the Kommandoes assualted in and destroyed
the rifleman. The Assassin was able to hold his own gets the
kommandoes who then consolidated into him. The Razorback turned out
to be Buzzsaw proof, surviving rockets and big shoota attacks as well with
only weapons destroyed results.
The Grey Knights began
to counter attack. The surving riflemen destroyed one kopta squadron
and forced another to flee. A Storm Raven bussed Cortez, his death
cultists and and venerable dreadnought into position to rescue the
threatened assassin. The cultists attack was devastating with all the Kommandoes slain. Fortunately, the Dread failed to make contact. Ghaz
was on his own. Cortez into consolidated into contact followed by
the rest of the cultists.
Spot the assassin?
The fleeing kopta
finally destroyed the immobilised, weaponless rhino, but predictable
the crew took no damage and just hid behind the wreck. A Wagon broke
formation and moved forward to debus a choppa mob. Cortez cast
sanctuary to make their life difficult. In the end they attack the
henchmen and tried to get the assassin which had one wound left. The
assassin was out of range but the henchmen were quickly dealt with.
Annoyingly Ghaz dropped before he land a good blow on Cortez leaving the Death Cultist free to go after the boyz.
The Knights continued with their counter. A Storm Raven destroyed the out of formation
wagon. One rifleman finshed of the fleeing deffe kopta mob another
destroyed a wagon from long range. Between the cultists and the
Venerable Dread the choppa mob did not last long. The last Kopta mob
finally showed up and tried to sneak into contest the Grey Knight flag but
alas the game rolled on and two Koptas vs the Razorback wall did not
end well.
The Result: loss 16:4
