Yesterday saw another team up game featuring Jason and Shane’s combined Waaaagh forces taking on Joe’s Chaos and Seth’s Necrons.
Game Setup
Points:
The game was ran using Power Levels. Orks had a power level score of 150PL while the combined forces of the Necrons and Chaos had 184PL
Only War Mission:
We used the Open War cards to decide what the game type would be.
- The Objective: Burn and Pillage was the objective for the game. Each team put 3 objectives in their deployment and each team had to control the objective at the end of their turn to capture it. Once all three on a side where captured, the game was over.
- The Twist: Eager to Fight was drawn. Both sides got to add +2 to all movements and +1 to all advances and charges!
- The Ruse: Orks where the underdogs and drew Inspiring Speech, allowing them to automatically pass all morale checks as long as their Warlod was a live!
Deployment:
Using the Open War cards, the Spearhead map was selected

Highlights and Score Breakdown
- Having the Weirdboy take “Da Jump” pysker power proved to be a wise choice, with the Ork team jumping mobs of 20 boyz across the map to try and Burn and Pillage objectives. The Orks claimed the first objective this way!
- A single Maulerfiend was assaulted by 4 Ork units. The Orks were really choppy and killed it but the Maulerfiend exploded taking out 2 of the Ork Units!
- A unit of Chaos Bikers were removed from the board . . . from Bubbles!
- The Bubblechuckas are TOO DAMN FUN! For both the Ork player and the enemy. Highly recommend for all Ork players to try.
- The Raptors deep striked behind a mob of Gretchin, but didn’t kill a single one. One Gretchin did take out a Raptor, but the Warboss finished off the rest with his Heroic Intervention.
- The Blood Throne is no joke on the charge. Pretty much on point with all Khorne units this edition.
- If you’re taking Bloodletters, be sure to add the icon to the forces. Joe’s unit with it brought back all the Bloodletters that were slain that turn. Really useful!
- Both the Gretchin and the Canoptek Scarabs where really useful this match by spreading out to try and keep the enemy from deep striking and taking an objective.
Final Score:
Jason & Shane: 2 VP
Joe & Seth: 2 VP
After 3 rounds of combat we had to call the game, both teams burned down one objective each but the Orks were the underdogs and thus secured a Minor Victory.
