Friendly Tournament At Las Vegas Open: Round 1! Orks vs BA!

3/4/2015

Comments

 
Hey Guys! Welcome back!  Today I'm going to run you thought my first  Friendly Las Vegas Open battle!  Ork Walkers vs Blood AngelsThere will also be some bonus Las Vegas Open images at the end!  (That's right, I found MORE!).  I was going to do a review of my transport for LVO, but decided to hold that off till I am less lazy.  You will also be able to find these bat reps (bit less narrative, but more laid out) over at the battle directory run by the man Cadian Shock!
My first opponent at the Las Vegas Open was Justin and his blood angels.  I met Justin when the pairing for Friendly GT was announced.  "Find someone you haven't played before, shake their hand, and that is your opponent."  Justin was waving with his hand in the air proclaiming he needed an opponent, all smiles, so I gravitated right towards him.

OOOOOOOhhh YEAAAAAAH!

Round 1: Orks vs Blood Angels!

Mission: Eternal War Crusade
Deployment: Hammer and Anvil
Ork list: Walkers...if you don't know what this is by now, shame on you.

Blood Angels:  Baal detachment.  2x land raiders, chaplain/death company, priest, assault squads (melta city), scouts, 2x tactical squads, Furioso dread
(Note:  There are no turn markers, because I don't remember exactly what turn happened win, I just snapped photos here and there)

Justin rolled his warlord traits on the escalation table (which I didn't even know existed).  One of the traits was "don't scatter within 6" of a super heavy".  This put me on an immediate defensive...his assault squads had 4 melta shots each, and he could easily place them in the rear of the stompa.  Thus I deployed like a little scared kitten and didn't play like I normally do.  Objectives ended up being setup so he could claim 2 in the back pretty easily.  (should have been paying attention to this).

I rolled on the strategic chart, and got "-1 to enemy reserve rolls".  Pretty much the best thing I could have gotten in this situation.  (Justin had all his jump infantry in reserves).

Justin goes first, either through luck (rolling to seize), or winning the roll off (totally not luck!)

Justin drops his pad in front of my left flank.  He blows up a killa kan.  He then shoots the deff dread I placed in front of the stompa? WHY GREG? WHY DID YOU DO THAT? And...stuns it.  It blocks the stompa from moving.  I then charge the furioso with the mega dread and the deff dread...he kills the mega dread. (first blood justin)  I'm not kidding. Hahah.  The deff dread reminds me whose in charge, and promptly finishes the furioso off.  The gorkanaut fails to charge the drop pod.  Man I was already having a blast! (no seriously, I got to use the tea lights already!)

The stompa fires a lot at things.  Doesn't do much damage.  Justin tries to bring his assault squads in.  Fails to do so (yay warlord trait).  I move the walkers up, the land raider gets mad and shoots the deff dread and blows him up, freeing the stompa.  On turn 3, justin finally gets some assault squads in.  Each squad has two inferno pistols, and two melta guns.  They don't scatter coming in.  (Turns move fast, no psychic, and walkers don't shoot much).  Justin is doing an excellent job of keeping me contained in my own backfield.

Combined fire from the two assault squads does six hull points to the stompa.  I don't make a single save.  It only wasn't more because justin missed two melta shots.  Justin keeps rolling in for his "mega" squad to come in, and it constantly mishaps and goes back into reserve.

In counter attack, I wipe one squad, and fail to charge the other...thats right, you can see how close I was, I rolled 3's and 4's. (combined)

With the melta squad still freed, they do another few hull points to the stompa.  I'm hovering around 2-3 hp remaining.  Still no saves, and still haven't repped a single hull point.  However the stompa is freed, and going after the scouts on the objective.  The kans and other dreads move up and wipe out the melta squad.  The gork engages the death company, and wipes them out en masse (str 10 ap1 with rampage is NASTY!).  
The stompa gets a lucky shot, and takes out the godhammer land raider in one shot.  He then climbs up the ruins, and shoots the scouts to death.

At this point I'm going for primary, and trying to get the stompa to the objective in the ruin (which couldn't have been on the top floor, but this is a friendly game, gonna be mistakes cause we having a blast!).    The gork takes out the death company and warlord, and eventually the land raider.

Justins mega squad finally comes in, and he decides to just land it right next to the stompa (no scatter), right on top of the objective.   He promptly blows up the stompa with melta, which nets him warlord as well (and he gets bonus points for killing a super heavy!).  He then has solid control of 3 of 5 objectives.  The other walkers are a bit too far away to catch him, and I roll for the game to continue, and it ends on turn 6.
This was a really fun game, and I made a ton of mistakes.  Justin was a great player, and positioned his units really well.  I should have been far more aggressive, and went for his rear units, making it more difficult for him to hold the objectives.  Either way, due to the hull points stripped off the super heavy, even with primary points, Justin still handily beat me!  An excellent game, and a great start to my first tournament!

Things I should have done differently?  Deployed WAY more aggressively.  My army is mega slow, it needs every inch it can get.  (And all my weapons are 24 inches or less!).  Without an aggressive deployment, I'm stuck in midfield most of the game!

Well it turns out this took a huge amount of time to write up.  So I'm just going to do one bat rep today, and possibly post another on thursday.  I want to play some video games!  (Homeworld remastered! WOOT!).  So no one is upset, here are some more LVO photos I found! 
Thanks for stopping by guys! Hope you enjoyed bat rep 1!
