Irons Hands and World Eaters Space Marine Legions vs Orks Turn 5

8'x5' All day Apocalypse game between pre-Heresy legions and Orks. This game is a classic case of when an Ork player spends all their points on formations and upgrades and keep them in reserve for a surprise attack and forgets the number 1 rule. Lots and lots of Orks! Orks take the first turn so the marines attempt to hold their line and wait for their Thunderhawk to deliver an assault to the Ork rrear, The Orks meanwhile plan to stay back and launch flank attacks while using massed gunfire from looters, Stompa, tanks and shokk attack guns. Many of the Ork vehciles are placed facing sideways to attempt to steal extra inches during the movement phase. Big mistake!
Turn 1: Marine's seize the initiative and screw up thje Ork plan. They proceed to hit the flanks of the Orks vehciles. The fire is so great that the Ork offensive is stopped before it begins. They dig in and wait for their reserves and deathstar units.
Turn 2: Big mistake by ther Orks. Seeing so few Orks on the table, the marines attack. Turn 2 sees both Spartans rolling out with full cargos of World Eaters aboard to take the fight to the Orkswhile they continue to blast anything they see. Nearly 1/3 of the Ork army is in reserve and waiting to outflank. Stompa is blown apart and the Ork player is left stunned.
Turn 3: Orks reserves arrive with massive deathstar units of characters coming in from the flank. World Eaters refuse their line and blast them until one model remains. At the same time their Spartan deploy infantry into the Ork left flank and smash through.
Turn 4-5 Thunderhawk Gunship arrives and deploys more infantry in the Ork deployment zone, finally stealing every objective in the mission. Ork fighters arrive and are blasted outof the sky in seconds.
End result, total and utter slaughter.
