Necrontyr keep the swarming greenskins at bay.



1st game at the Tournament yesterday.
Vs: Sherman. Yes, his name was Sherman. Was an EXTREMELY fun game to play.
Army: Vanilla Orks
Objective: Cleanse. Capturing a table quarter besides your own = 500 points. Capturing your opponent's = 1000 points. Only way to win.

First off, I'll clarify that to capture/control a table quarter the player must have one model in there with NO enemy models anywhere in the quarter.

Turn 1
I won turn roll. The greenskins began to drop like...orks. My gauss weaponry shook his looted tank, thusly having it to not shoot next turn. My destroyers just annihilated two squads. : D
However, my wraiths and Necron lord charged the orks, and completely killed a squad, thusly charging into the squad behind it.

On his turn, he charged just about every avalible squad into my wraiths. They died. No WBB, including lord. His trukks with Red Paint Job got an extra inch movement and zoomed towards my other lord and 2 squads of warriors. That was about it for that turn.


Turn 2
Slightly demoralized that my awesome "wraith"lord died, I just continued to mow down orks. And, to my delight, found that even his stikkbomb couldn't glance my Monolith. My destroyers hopped ontop of the center building and continued to mow down boyz.

With his War Boss and a 17 greenskin mob, he ran towards my destroyers, moving 4" up the difficult terrain. I began to worry, but laughted when his assault roll was a 2. An inch away from my squad.
His bikes drove towards my destroyers, but were also out of assault range!
: D
He did however, deposite his boyz from the trukks. Who proceeded to charge BOTH my squads. My nearby tomb spyder got scared and pooped out a squad of scarabs to help it next turn.

Turn 3
My Destroyers continued to gun down the boyz who were encrouching upon them. As my monolith continued advancing. My Heavy Destroyer missed his looted leman this time. Well, his ork armour saved his arse. My tomb spyder went to help the 2 squads entangled in combat. Well, one squad just kept saving or getting its' WBB rolls. The other was completely gone. My lord was on his own, but a warscythe, Gaze of Flame, and Phase Shifter really helped. Tomb Spyder pooped another scarab swarm and charged.

He was really dwindled in size now, around 70 orks out of his original 140 (which was more than the tyranid player, Shawn. More on him later). But he kept up his assaults. One squad of destroyers was tag-teamed by the 17 ork mob and war boss plus the remaining bikes. One destroyer survived. (Hello wbb) His other assaults went not so good. My tomb spyder bit it :*(, but lord kept killing everything in B2B with him. The remaining squad (now 13 strong thanks to lucky WBB rolls) didn't die [well, maybe one or two who would make their WBB] and kept killing the assaulting orks.

Summary: We ran out of time. Mostly due to his massive amount of movement/shooting/assaults. And it ended up as a tie. So no victory points for either of us...but a generalship score of 13 both ways! : D

On a side note: My army seems to do well in WBB rolls, the two lords excel in supporting fire power or assaults, and they do well in assaults.
