This weekend I took a trip to warhammer world for a 2 day warhammer battle fest and managed to squeeze in 3 games of 40k!

This will cover the first battle of my world eaters vs orks at 1500pts each. We played annihilation.

My list was quite simple:

Daemon Prince with Wings – Khorne, Slaughter born, Talisman of burning Blood.

Exalted champion, Lord in Terminator armour.

5 Terminators with Plasma and Power fists.

3 rhinos full of Beserkers, with 1 space for Champion.

Orks had:

Warboss, Pain boy, Wierdboy, Morkanaut (melee one), Dakka jet, bikers, 20 odd grots, and lots of boys.

This isn’t a full battle report, more of the highlights.

I started and advanced forward, not alot of shooting or psychic, so it went nice and quick.

Orks moved up, the Dakka jet flew over my army and took some pot shots at my daemon prince, luckily Orks. The Morkanaut got a mighty charge on one of my rhinos and smashed it to little pieces, 1 Beserker wasn’t quick enough to escape the burning inferno.

My turn two. I disembarked some more Beserkers and crowded the Morkanaut, I dropped my Terminators to the side with the lord.

Terminators overcharged the plasma into the bikers and melted them into piles of slag, the lord Melta gunned a big hole in the side of the Morkanaut for 6 wounds.

I charged the jet with my Prince and a flat 12 wounds with the sword brought it down. He heroically met the jet in mid flight and carved it into little pieces.

The Rhino charged the Morkanaut to absorb the the over watch and was followed in by two squads of Beserkers and the champion. They climbed into the freshly melted hole and lent slightly too hard on the wall, the whole thing collapsed around them, typical ork craftsmanship.

The Orks pushed forward and the bikes shot at and charged some Beserkers, due to their now low number they were match and were cut down.

The Beserkers pushed on the left and charged some boys, some embarked the rhino and pushed forward, and the other Beserkers and Terminators cleared the Grots on the right that had pushed forwards. It was not much of a fight, more of a sport, who could kick the Grot the furthest.

The Beserkers did some damage but were interrupted by the stratagem and were cut down by lots of attacks.

The Orks surrounded the Rhino and brought it down and killed the guys inside as they couldn’t escape. No heroic charge out of the doors, just sitting in a metal box as it was chipped apart.

The Orks charged the other Beserkers and had about 130 attacks due to buffs. Needless to say there was not much left of those poor guys at the end.

The Terminators blew some chunks in the boys but they were armed with power fists, not great for a mass of boys, but nice for the satisfying ‘splat’ noise.

The Daemon prince charged over the boys and into the Warboss and Wierdboy, taking them both down. He was then chopped into tiny pieces.

The boys were advancing on the Terminators and the Lord. Khorne lost favour with his champion and the lord rolled 4 1s out of 6 attacks with 3 Wounds remaining, the Terminators managed some amazing saves (12 wounds all saved ) but there were just too many to kill. After a bitter battle the Terminators were slain

At the end there was about 80 points left on the table. Score was Orks 11 and Khorne 10. So close, and a long and very fun game. Lots of blood was spilt for Khorne.

Next battle was vs Tyranids…
