Month 2 battle (800pts): Foxy vs Vic

With time running short as Warhammer world were due to close we agreed to play four turns only. The dice gods ruled again that we should fight a kill points game.

With the two sides deployed Locknut ordered his lootas to fire on the fireprism. Within moments of coming into view the graceful hovercraft was turned into a flaming wreck! Killas kanz opened fire on the guardian jetbikes and destroyed one. This round of fortunate Ork shooting was shortlived as the lootas and kans fired ineffectively as both Avatar and Wraithlords fired marched upon them.

In the centre of the battlefield the Guardians and Striking scorpians stealthed forward making excellent use of cover and the farseers protection from shooting. Seeing the wreck of a falcon initially sent in to scout the area, the Avatar roared in anger before thowing his shining spear at the shoota boyz unit impailing one in the chest.

At the height of turn three battle was engaged as the orks called a waaaaghh to smash into the eldar vanguard. The Farseer, weakened to one wound by rokkit fire was dispatched along with the striking scorpians. Oddly it was the guardians who managed to flee, but they were shot down by the persuing shoota boyz in the next turn.

Elsewear Elegant wraithbone and adhoc machine clashed as the Wraithlords and killakanz clashed. The battle was one sided as crude robot suits were cleaved in two. The Avatar and Big Mek did the ol' HQ show down with the Avatar finally cleaving the ugly green Ork in two.

Turn four ended and the Orks were the winners by 3 (Farseer, Striking scorpians, Guardians) kill points to 2 (Big Mek, Killa kanz squad).

What else can i say other than, he got lucky? Like he said, he took out the single biggest threat in the first turn. What could i do? Revert to plan b? What bloody plan b? At least i learnt something in defeat (more than can be said for Gareth and his big red pansies)i learnt that Wraithlords kick ass! oh and Guardians don't do well in close combat with big mobs of orks, really, they don't!

All I can say is thank goodness the Lootas destroyed the fireprism in turn one! The blast templates could seriously have affected the way the battle in the middle of the board had gone by thining down the green tide.

The Wraithlord were scary and I could see what Foxy was trying to do by completing a pincer movement with the Avatar on one prong and Wraithlords on the other. Somehow I managed to come out on top but only just.
