A few months ago I played an Apoc game vs Orks,
we decided that this would be the continuation of that game. It was a really fast paced match, by the end of the game very little was left standing on both Sides. I am a big fan of the super heavies in normal games. They do add a lot of punch that certain armies need.

Turn 1: Orcs move quickly and try to close the gap as fast as possible. 2 Trucks move to flank my fortified ruin. The Battle Wagon moves to take objective 6 from Squad 1's Rhino and 2 Trukks move towards Rhino 2 , who was holding objective 4. The Stompa moves around the ruins, and opens fire on the Bastion across the board. The Shot scatters off the ruin, down the front and connects to 2 Ork Trukks. Landing First blood for the Sentinels of Terra. Then Rhinos get lit up by the super gattler, but Squad 1's Rhino makes a bunch of cover saves first consuming most of the Stompa's shooting attacks. Squad 2 gets hit and loses 5 marines and are forced to fall back. The Orks jump up the score bored getting 4
of his tactical objectives. The Sentinels rally back on turn 1, The Sternguard scatter into the back board after trying to and on objective 2. Squad 1 moves around objective 6 to secure it from the Nobz battle wagon. Squad 2 rallies and climbs back up the hill to objective 4. The combat-squad devastator squad disembark out of the bastion onto the ruin and prepare to fight against the ork squads that are claiming objective 5
the super handy Las cannon. The shooting phase opens up, The Ork Trukk @ objective 4 is hit with melta gun, combi flamer, krak grenade and bolter fire and is Exploded, the Ramshackle rule does not save it this time.after the smoke clears the 5 Orks remain, still contesting objective 4.Squad 1's Melta gun rips into the side armor of the battle wagon causing an immobilized result. The Dev squad in the Bastion unleash rockets at the battle wagon connecting with 4 hits, tank hunters is super effective this turn causing 2 pens. The pen is a immobolized result causing the battle wagon to break down. The tac squadded devistators unleash bolter fire on the ork squad causing a few casualties. The sterngaurd now unable to unleash hellfire upon the nobs squad turn their poisioned ammo on the orks near the bastion causing 2 more wounds. The Thunderfire is turned to the last orks on objective 4 and connects 4 time.The score gets tied 4 to 4.

Orks retaliate with the Stompa moving to the corner of ruins.The nobz move to assault Squad 1. The second Ork Trukk moves to take objective 4, disembarking and getting ready to finish squad 2. The lone Trukk moves for objective 3 The sternguard are whittled down by Stompa Fire, The Veteran Sgt remains, Squad 2 takes 2 more casuaties and falls back again.Devistator combat squad also falls back. The Ork player ends his turn locked with the combat dev squad, Squad 1 loses combat and falls off the board. The Orks attempt to assault squad 2 who unleash bolter fire upon the orks and kill 2 putting them out of assault range.The Ork player gets 2 more tactical objectives. The Sentinels fight back hard again when all reserves enter the board.

The Dreadnaught lands behind the orks on objective 4. The Vindicator enters infront of the Nob squad and the Stormtalon escorts it on zipping past the Stompa heading to take out the lone Trukk. The
Centurions and the Libby walk on and take aim @ the Stompa. In a Whirlwind of Shooting the Vindicator kills 4 Nobz and the Pain boy after he fails a look out sir. The Bastion unleashes its heavy Bolter on auto fire killing 1 more and wounding the last nob. The Dread kills 7 more boys on objective 4 but they still remain. The Thunder fire unloads on them killing 1 space marine but clearing the rest of the orks giving the Marines objective 4 again. The Score bounces up as Marines gained slay the warlord.
