Retcon (UCD 40K
tournament) being in Dublin near the Easter Bank holiday. Is a nice
trip, Plus I get to see the folks for more than a couple of hours befopre
heading off into boonies of Cark or Galway. For the tournament the
Battlewagon boyz rolled into action
Round 1 Vs Ryan playing
Space Wolves
Deployment: Spearhead
Primary Objective:
Seize ground with five objectives. One in the centre and one in the
centre of each corner.
Secondary Objective:
Kill points
The Enemy:
1 Rune Priest
1 Wolf guard pack
1 Scout pack
3 Long fang packs with
las/plas razorbacks
3 large Grey Hunter
packs in rhinos
2 small Grey Hunter
packs
The Battle:
It had to start with
wolves. Even worse Ryan list had evolved from Iztacon. Less Rune
Priests and Scouts and more Grey Hunters. Last time the Orks out
numbered the Wolves 4-5 to 1 and got a draw. This time the numbers
were about even.
Wolves deploy
The Wolves got to go
first and picked the biggest building on the battle field and set-up
camp with the Long Fangs going for the high ground while the Grey
Hunters secured the lower floors. One Long Fang packs opted to deploy
in a rhino to set-up a cross fire on the table. A Grey Hunter pack
went into reserve while the scouts opted to out flank. The Orks
opted to roll on from reserve.
Grey Hunters on the move
Turn one saw the Wolves
spread out seizing nearby objectives and setting up better positions.
With no opposition on the table they did the same in turn two.
Annoyingly, the scouts also failed to show up. The Orks arrival was
preceded by two Deff Kopta squadrons that rolled on and attacked a
small Grey Hunter wolf pack that was guarding an objective. The pack
broke and barely escaped the Koptas. Two wagon mobs also arrived and
secured the objective on the Ork table edge.
Wolf Scouts get on the flank of a Wagon
On queue the Wolf
Scouts showed up and popped a Battle wagon. The fleeing wolf pack
could not rally and none of the other packs could shake off the
koptas that were dogging it. More orks arrived. The two wagon mobs
went after the one wolf scout pack looking for pay back. Ghaz and
friends assaulted and destroyed a rhino that had drifted to close to
the Ork deployment area. The last kopta squadron showed up and
assaulted a Long Fang pack. The Wagon mobs made short work of the
scouts.
Battle wagon boys move after Wolf Scouts
The Grey Hunters from
the rhino Ghaz had destroyed tried to destroyed his battle wagon but
failed. A razor back got a side shot on another wagon and destroyed
it. Long Fangs struggled to shake of the Deff Koptas but both stayed
locked in combat. The last Grey Hunter pack rolled in from reserve
and moved to rescue the Long Fangs. The Last Wagon mob arrived and
Waaaghed to surround and destroyed the rhino with the Rune Priest and
Grey Hunters inside, destroying them all. Ghaz engaged and destroyed
the Grey Hunters that had gone after his transport.
Wild boyz swarm a Rhino pack
Ghaz and friends go Rhino bashing
The Mega Nobz
fell back to secure an objective. Deff Koptas started to run amok
taking rear shots at rhinos and razorbacks and generally being a pain
in the ass. Snikrot, the kommandos and the wagon mob assaulted the
newly arrived Grey Hunters and embattled Long Fangs and destroyed
them both. A Razorback tried to tank shock and contest an Ork
objective but the wagon mob destroyed it. The Game end with the orks
holding or contesting 4 of the 5 of the objectives.

The Result: win 19:1
