Legio Gryphonicus (NetEA v3.23) V’s Ghazgkhull Thraka's War Horde (NetEA Tournament Pack 2013)

 

Well its Tuesday Night and we manage another game of epic. As always it was 4000 points per side. The forces were Legio Gryphonicus (NetEA v3.23) V’s Ghazgkhull Thraka's War Horde (NetEA Tournament Pack 2013).

Any ways a few words from the other ork player…….

Greg, Trent, and I(Britt) had a very enjoyable and entertaining 4000 point game of Epic Armageddon tonight with Trent commanding the Adeptus Gryphonicus Titan army while Greg(mostly) and I led the Orks. After a full four turn game that lasted over four hours, the Orks only won by count back. Close isn't the word for it.
The Ork army mainly consisted of huge Ork units deployed forward as scouts, and two Landas and 4 bike units to give it much needed mobility. I don't have a lot of respect for Ork vehicles, being overpriced IMHO. The six fighter-bomber units were to soften up the Titans before they were engaged hand-to-hand. At least that was the plan. This unraveled a bit when Trent placed both his objective markers on the west end of the table, causing me to bunch up my two 'Uge Mob "scouts" more than I'd have liked. Facing Titans I'd planned to ignore the big stuff and take out the smaller, but this wasn't always possible.
All in all, this was a lot of fun and the two asymmetrical opponents made for a challenging and unique game. Thanks guys.

As a side note this was our 50th epic game for the year to date. So all going well, this report will help get the ATML over the line to get it approved, which would be icing on the cake too. Smile

Any ways on with the report……
