Now, I thought that I would have a few turns to shoot at them and then be able to beat them in close combat once I had whittled them down. I was very, very wrong. My first indicator that this was going to be difficult was that my opponent deployed only wheeled units. Something like fifteen Warbikes and five Trukks! Three of the Trukks had a deadly team of Bully Boyz each and the other two had small squads of Boyz inside. The Orks got the first turn, killing my bigger squad of Long Fangs and a few terminators. Then, on my turn, the carnage began. The Warbikes and Skyclaws clashed hard and my Blood claws attacked one of my opponent's Trukks. I wasn't actually doing too bad at this point! On my opponent's turn, most of the rest of my units got bogged down in close combat, pretty much ending the game for me. Now, I did manage to hold on until Turn Five, when the game ended and I had three miniatures left on the board. Ouch!
My opponent had built a great list that blended protection and efficiency into a ruthlessly fast game.
Oh, yeah, the reason I don't have any pictures posted is because my phone died as soon as the game began...
Well, I had a lot of fun playing against a super nice opponent and it was a great way to spend the night!
