Happy Birthday 40k

Some pics of Our game at Chris's

Anthem 40k RTT

Went to local tournament with a good friend of mine this weekend. I brought the new list I have been playing and my friend brought his Reserve Tyranid army which can be found on his blog (http://greenblowfly.blogspot.com/).
We ended up having to play each other round one and I barely manage to win thanks to some lucky dice and the game going to turn 7. Second round played a Space Wolves list which I beat fairly easily. Ended up on top table against another Grey Knights army and managed to pull out a win in close game. We both only had two models left at the end. The deciding factor was that my two models were scoring and his were not. So ended up taking first while Steve came back for third with his Tyranids. So was a very good day and had alot of fun

1850 GK vs Orks

I brought my new outflanking list but to get down to 1850 dropped one strike squad. gave me 40 points to play with so put extra man in other strike squad and gave them dozer blade then spread some MC around Paladins.

Played Beakycon mission and ended up with 4 Seize Ground Objectives and Spearhead.

Table had one big ruin in each table quarter and one in center with couple craters and small ruins scattered around.
Objectives ended up with two on far side from me near table edges right next to buildings in the two table quarters on that side. Other two ended up kind centered in middle of table.

I won roll and made him go first.
He chose one of the zones with objective next to a Building. He put two loota squads in that building one on bottom level and other one taking up top two. Put other Lootas in small ruin next to that building. Put all Boy squads around that building with a Grot screen in front of them.

I rolled Grand Strategy and got 3 units. Gave Combat Dread, Strike Squad, and Terminators Scout and outflanked them. Chose to deepstrike the Paladins with the two characters. Psyfleman Dread I started on table near short table edge so was out of loota range.

Turn 1
Orks
Two loota squads moved toward me one on top levels stayed still. Boys and Grots moved toward me and ran.

GK
 Shot my Dread at the Grots and killed one after he rolled 3 6s for cover saves.

Turn 2
Orks

Moved Boys and Grots toward me again. Lootas had 4 in Range in both squads that had moved forward and  3 rokkits in range from front boys squad. All he manged to do out of all that was Stun the Dread.

GK
Terminators and strike squad came in. Terminators rolled 1 for outflank so came in on my side while stike squad got a 5 but put them on my side as well since would not have lasted on other side. Moved both 6 in. on but would be out of loota range. Failed Fortitude on Dread with an 11. Terminators were just out of range to shoot  front boys. Razorback shot Lascannon and killed a Grot.

Turn 3
Orks
2 Boys squads kept coming toward me and popped servo skull as other two and gretchin moved toward center of table. 1 Loota squad moved forward and got rid of the other servo skull and ran to occupy a crater. Other squad shot and blew arm off of Dread and shook it. Other boys shot Terminators and killed a Halberd.

GK
Paladins showed up but dread did not. With no servo skulls left could not be as aggressive but dropped them over by his two boys squads and the lootas in crater. Terminators inched up like 2 inches and shot front boys killing 11 between Dread and Lascannon killed 2 more. Paladins scattered so three were in ruin but passed terrain checks. They then killed 6 of the lootas in crater but they passed check and stayed.

Turn 4
Orks
2 Boys squads and Gretchin moved toward Paladins. Other 2 Boys squads moved toward Terminators. Weakened boys squad shot termies and did nothing. 2 Boys squads, Grots, 6 man lootas and one full loota squad shot Paladins and thanks to feel no pain only took 2 wounds.Last boy squad shot Rokkits at Dread but did nothing. Failed to charge Paladins thanks to Sanctuary.

GK
Combat Dread finally came in rolled a 4 and came in right behind the lootas in big building. He shot and killed 3 with Assault cannon. Paladins moved up and Orks had bunched together to get between terrain to try and assault and when they failed were in tight mob. Between Holocaust, Incinerator, Warp Rift and the Squad shooting killed all 30 Orks. Terminators Killed another 9 Boys in the weakened squad and Dread popped two. Las Cannon killed one loota. Boy squad broke and ran.

Turn 5
Orks
Boys squad ran off table. 2 remaining boys squads moved toward objectives as did the Grots. One Loota squad blew up Razorback and other two targeted Dreads doing nothing. Boys shot at Paladins finishing one off. At this point opponent Called game as next turn Termies were gonna be in assault with One boy squad Paladins were set up to combo Charge Grots and small Loota squad and Combat dread was gonna reach the loota squad he had shot. which would have left him one Loota squad and One boy squad againt my Army which had so far only suffered 3 Casualties.
