this is my first game using my Orks its my new squad add-on for death squads
i didnt have real terrain but i wanted to try them out really bad so i just used some things around the house


Table over shot
and deployment


The warthogs setup


The Foxez setup


i have a sneak boy on the big box in the middle

Foxez first turn




my weird boy rolled a 6 letting him control his focus
and the rest of my models just ran into a better position making sure that my recruits are in the front to take the first shots if shot at




expect my sneaky boy who stayed where he was to shoot his big shoota



Luckily the sneaky boy was in range of some infantry men and was able to hit three models

Big shoota
Strength :3
Range:18
AP 6
weapon type: heavy 3

Allows multiple targets: to fire this weapon the player chooses the intended enemy target as normal it is within range place a blast template over it. one of the multiple shots must be placed in that target and the others maybe place on any target within the blast template.
rolling a 5 4 5 to hit

then a 3 2 and a 6 for a critical i didn't get anything good on it


but rolling the Hogs rolling a 5 on the injury chart making him go out of action


end of FOXEZ turn

HOGS first turn

Hogs making sure to get out of the way of shooting ran into cover as fast as they could



they couldn't do anything for the rest of that turn because they ran into cover ( or so they thought

FOXEZ turn 2
weird boy rolled a 4 to focus
all my models advanced except my sneaky boy and my ard boy


as i said the Hogs thought they were hidden but for my Sneaky boys eye


getting them all under the template
Rolling a 4 4 and a 5 all hitting


and 5 3 and 2 only wounding 1 and rolling a 3 making him stunned




my ard boy having the same weapon and being in range was ready to unleash fire power


him having 3 under the template


and having 2 hits


and 1 wound



then taking him out of action with a roll of 6

Hogs turn 2
seeing that happened the hogs had to take out those big shootas so they climbed up the building

luckily for the sneaky boy the Hogs moved more then 4 so no shooting from them


and the rest of the models running to the other side getting out of fire from the big shootas


Balthazar and cricket where on the right side of the field and ready to unload
cricket shot his lasgun rapid fire at the ork and missed both times


balthazar then shot his lasgun and hitting 2 times

rolling a 6 and a 2 to wound causing a critical not to do anything but then rolling a 5 on the injury chart making the ork out of action


end of that turn and the field looks like this



FOXEZ turn 3

most of my models advanced


these models moved 4 to get in better view of the enemy
except the ard boy and sneaky boy

My weird boy took a psychic test to cast short frazzle and rolled 6




Short frazzle

and rolling a 6 on the injury table


balthzar having a 4+ save rolled a 3 taking him out of action
my commander then shot his kustom blasta at the remaining model

this happened deacon rolled a 5 on the injury chart making him out of action giving up the game
end game field


if your wondering about the morel checks they just kept passing them so i kept playing until i saw how out numbered it was when deacon went out of action

WOW! That was a super detailed game... I felt like just grabbing dice and roll too! HA! Great battle report... I dug the 'Hefty' building... very Orky! Thanks for sharing!

What was the post game?!?!

Wow! That was some pics, nice.

Great report - lovce the squad name for the orks. I'd like to get a closer look at that squad - looked cool.

On the terrain - who cares for now - It takes a while to build up stuff and we've all got imaginations! Better you play the game and get the terrain as you go.

I second Mordheimer - what happened post game (this really helps create the story for me)?

Cheers Laney

It would indeed! How did that go?

Oh what do you think of my new avatar?

dwi

dwi... you change avatars more than underwear! Pretty cool... I dig that one!

Just something of note:

Big Shootas: These weapons are classified as a Heavy Weapon. As such, you will need to aquire the Heavy Weapon skill for the Officers before using any heavy weapon. It is not stated clearly, and was only seen upon myself reading the battle report. Check out the shooting skill section, under Weapon Training: Heavy Weapon that you will require to get that skill before using it.

Hmmm... ANOTHER screw up?!? Dozer is right... Heavy Weapons require the Skill. IG Heavy Weapon Specialist (for example) already has this skill (Knock for Heavy Weapons), thus this Recruits could use these weapons right away.

Orks are what we classify as 'stat' dependent. Their strong points are their stats (high toughness!), so they can be in a Close Combat fight with bare hands and still be fully functional. The Orks strong points is NOT ranged combat, so their Depot choices (Weapons, Armor AND Wargear) are limited. While this would direct the player to a more Close Combat oriented mob... that may EVOLVE into more shooting as time goes by.

Orks do not have the Weapons Training, Heavy Weapons Skill... so only when Officers gain a skill you could learn it. So no Big Shootings for rookie mobs. Think about it... makes sense. The newly created Mob would not know how to operate such "powerful" Dakka. Remember, an Ork Mob Squad is the VERY beginning of the Ork war effort, so it would be 'weak' compared to a seasoned veterans in a larger Green Tide.

I got help from Dozer checking TLRB, and he pointed out that while all the information is there, it is NOT clear. I will add it on the type of weapons section, as well as on the specific weapon description.

On this subject, I also noticed that the Depot has another error... the Kustom Blasta is an Officer only weapon, which has a rarity. We will work to fix that mistake on TLRB.

so is there a way to get a big shoota the models i had used for them are officers there the ard boy and a sneaky boss

Yes. Ork Officers could choose the Weapons Training, Heavy Weapons skill upon rolling NEW SKILL when gaining a new level (Advancement). Last time I played the Orks (The White WAAAGH!), one of my 'Ard Boyz got a Big Shoota. It was not very effective, until I put a red-dot laser on it! HA!... It was a hole on the rules back then (a year ago) that was plugged. So before you ask...

No, you can not put a Red-Dot Laser on ANY Heavy Weapon.


Personally, I like my Orks to get dirty... Close Combat for me! Except my Sneaky Boss (Werzzhim [Where is Him])... he had a a Chainsword and Shotgun (courtesy of some captured enemies!)

i noticed that orks have there own set of skills that they could choose from and i didnt see that they could use heavy weapon training is this a new rule for the update and i know what u mean with the close combat all my recruits are close combat and my nob even my weird boy just in-case i just wanted a little good shooting so i wanted to make my ard boys have big shootas

CRAP... All this was done on my copy of TLRV v0.3.9f... somehow I messed up and is not on the v04.4! They are supposed to have access to the Universal Shooting Skills Weapon Training, Heavy Weapon. The Sneaky Boss has also access to Weapon Training, Sniper.

I will make sure this is fixed. Thanks for the find... GREAT catch!

Could you do us a favor, and use punctuation. It's difficult to read and understand what you are trying to say.

Holy crap Mord, way to go on THAT hole . The gentlemen is correct, the Heavy Weapon skill is not listed on the table!!!

np problem it helped me to now my sneaky boss can use a sniper when he gets that skill thats what i wanted even though it will take me an 11 on the rare roll i might just get it and ill just have to up grade my ard boys to get the big shoota but all in all thats just people to take out of action
