40k in 40 mins 400pts
Annihilation- Pitched battle
This battle is part of the Aftermath Campaign and takes place on the resupply planet of Arcus Hold
Terminators deep strike behind the Ork trukk catching the Orks off guard. The Space Marines from the Rhino fall back to get a better shot on the Ork mob now surrounding the smoking Rhino. The Multi Melta from the Building melts the bigshoota off one of the trukks. The Terms Assault the trukk but thanks to it going fast only manage to stun the trukk, but the boyz jump out and run towards the building to get away from the terms. Both Orks and Space Marines fight heroically this round and both combats end in draws with a few casualties each.
The Terminators advance after the cowardly Ork boyz running away from them, and catch the boyz in hand to hand killing 6 boyz but losing all but one Thunder Hammer, still the boyz flee after suffering heavy loses in the fight. The other Orks fair better in combat this round wiping out both marine squads. One mob advances towards the lone Terminator, while the other mob rally to the trukk.
The last Terminator assaults the Orks coming towards him, killing 2 boyz and not suffering any wounds the boyz fall back. The Term follows both Ork mobs as they run away. The last mob of boyz jump into their trukk to see if they can take this lone Terminator out.
Both mobs of boyz are still falling back due the Terminator being so close to them. The Boyz in the trukk coming tearing up from behind and in a hail of bigshoota fire, gun down the last Terminator and win the game for the Orks.

Warboss "Eadsplitta as sent 3 of his speed freeks warbands to Arcus Hold planet in hopes to get more raw materiels to contiune his conquest for Prox.

The Space Marines only really have the last Terminator left the Titan's guns are destroyed, it still has the Apocalypse Missile Launcher but it has a min range of 24" so it really not helping. The Term does well and kills a few Ork boyz but there are still enough boyz to get the job done and take out the last Terminator.

Battle Report - Flamberge - Aftermath Campaign Ork vs Ork
1500 pts Ork vs Ork, mission was capture and control
We wanted to see some ork on ork action( in fighting between tribes) since my army has been doing well on the planet Flamberge in the Notous system, as part of the Aftermath Campaign.
The "mek ork" player got first turn and had both troop choices next to his objective with a Mek with KFF to cover both squads. The other Mek was farther up with two Dreads and lots of Kans surrounding him, with some Koptas on the right flank.
After weathering some ork shooting ( thank god its BS2), my Battlewagons and Trukk raced up so they would hit squads at the same time to max the Waaagh that was coming. I hit the wall of Kans and Dreads and pulled it off with very few dead on my side and destroy one whole squad of Kans, and blow another Dread up and immobilised the last one.
The Koptas on my left side came a round and blew apart one of my Battlewagons, but lucky for me the Mega Nobz that were in it where long way off killing other orks at this time.
I spent around two rounds of working through the line of Kans and Dreads that were in front of me, without losing too many MANZ , with around 6 left in the main squad and 3 in the other, with all most a full 'Ard boyz squad left with crazy Mad Dok in there for fun.
I raced into the last two squads of boyz and manage to put enough wounds on both squads to make them flee and runaway from the battle, capturing the objective, proving the Nobz have their place in the Orks society as the biggest meanest orks around.
Battle Report - Flamberge - Aftermath Campaign
This is a fast and furious game that had the Eldar going first. The Eldar player castled up behind three main structures in his deployment line. The Eldar fired their brightlances and shurikens trying to get lucky shots in on my Battlewagons and trukks, but thanks to some awsome cover saves they made it across the board to deliver the boyz to their targets.
Once 'Eadsplitta and his mega nobz got into hand to hand, they did what they do best and beat the crap out of the Harlequins and ran off the Dire Avengers. The Farseer stayed high in a nearby building helping the squads near him with fortune and guide, but he was only prolonging the final out come of this game.

'Eadsplitta waaagh on Flamberge-Aftermath campaign
This was a 1500pts battle between Orks vs Salamanders
mission was cap and control, with spearhead deployment
This is a quick and dirty battle report since im trying to turn these out as fast as I can
But turn four things were looking grim for thr salamanders and they only had two rhinos and a handful of spacemarines left. The spacemarine player tried very hard to make sure I would not get to his objective but Ghazie and his squad made it by the skin of their teeth to win the game.
