Weathering the Storm
/
Warhammer 40K – Sunday was supposed to be the first gaming session in the newly remodeled game room. However due to a snow storm most of the guys were unable to make it out.
Luckily Brian (paperbag fox) braved the weather to get in a game. We decided to play a quick 750 point game of 40K. After setting up a ruined city overgrown by the jungle we rolled up annihilation with corner deployment.
I don't remember his exact list but this is one of my stan-by lists, it takes advantage of the stock unit choices:
• Captain with bolter and hellfire rounds and a power axe
• 5-man tactical squad in a Razorback with lascannons
• 10-man tactical squad in a Rhino with flamer and missile launcher
• 10-man tactical squad in a Rhino with flamer and missile launcher
• Assault Bike with Multi-melta
The game mostly went my way due to clever deployment and combat squads. I was able to cause his two big mobs of boyz to route after heavy casualties. His Warboss decimated a squad, but they were able to hold out long enough for the calvary to arrive and gun down the massive beast.
Small point games don't play to the strengths of the Orks. It probably didn't help that he had quite a few points tied up into some Killa Kans that didn't make much impact on the game.
