Highlights and Score Breakdown
- The MVP’s of the match were Jason’s Painboy who was ignoring wounds and healing the Big Mek and Alejandro’s Wyvern who just chew through the big mob of Boyz
- Squad 005 rolled really hot and tore up the mob of Boyz attacking the Sentinels (after the Sentinels fell back after combat)
- Ghaz was a walking blender. Just annihilating any squad he came in close combat with.
- The Guard brought A LOT of firepower. In the end, Jason only had 2 models left out of a total of 34!
- It was Jason’s first time using his Orks in 8th Edition and he was pleasantly surprised how great the Boyz were in Close Combat. The tricky part is getting them there! Maybe a Weirdboy with “Da Jump” next time?
- The last of the mob of 20 Boyz had to do a Morale check and failed. “The Boss is watching” meant Ghaz killed the last three of those boys. He decided he was going to just win the battle by himself (which he just about did, tanking a lot of damage for the last round of the game with the Big Mek at his side).
Final Score:
Jason: 6 VP
Alejandro: 0 VP
In the end, Ghazghkull stood strong and held the relic through the last round of fire with only a Big Mek to keep him company.
