I put this in general since it covers a couple of topics.
First, went to a tourney for the first time with Orks and had a blast. It was actually the first time I'd played Orks lol. I built the list more for fun than anything else but it worked out for me. Here's the list:
Big Mek, KFF
Nobz x 10, painboy
2 boyz mobz, 21 boyz a piece each with a nob/powerclaw
Deff Dred CCW's
Deff Dred rokkit launchas
2 Killa Klans mobs with 3 a piece, mix of weapons
Stormboyz x 15, Boss Zagstrukk
10 Lootas, Mek
I went 1 Draw, 2 Wins aginast Eldar, Tau and Plague Marines respectively. The tourney was well run and the scenarios were inventive and fun. The scenarios built on each other story wise. The first was that for every unit destroyed, an obkective marker was dropped, whoever held the most objective markers won. The Eldar player and I ran out of troops by the end of the game so it ended in a draw, however I'd have to give the game to my opponent as he had destroyed more units and still had Avatar plus Wraith Lord on the table and I had really nothing to answer it.
The second game against Tau started out ugly. I thought I was in trouble when he'd destroyed 4 out of 6 kans and took 3 weapons off one dred before I had killed a single model. Third round he missed a lot of crucial shots, allowing me to get some units into close combat. Ultimately he never managed to kill a full unit of anything and so never scored any KP. This scenario involved crashed space junk in the form of cups with dice underneath. Each objective was worth D3 KP's and you didn't know how many points was under each objective until the end of the game.
Final game was against a CSM plague marine army. Not sure why but I felt like I had the advantage in army builds. His army contained Typhus and Sorceror, 2 squads of plague marines in rhinos, squad of plague bikers, and termies in landraider, plus defiler. 5 Objectives were laid out and once you had a potentially scoring unit on each objective you rolled to see if you could consume the "oreum" (Oreos cookies) left over from the space junk in the last scenario. Once all of the oreum on the table was consumed the game was over, the winner being the one who consumed the most. Deployment saw us both basically owning 2 objectives immediately. the fifth objective I managed to capture on the third round uncontested thanks to my opponent failing to disembark his plague marines on a crucial turn.
All in all I thought my army build worked out better than I had planned. I lost both my troop choices first game getting too Orky (Aggressive). I also knew I was in trouble with the Avatar and 2 wraithlords but I figure I could throw dreds and Kans at them and keep them tied up while the rest of my army worked over his troops. It worked sort of like that however he ended up having slightly more squads that were effective (My lootas never played a part in the game for various reasons.). I really liked the 15 Stormboyz with Zagstrukk. They didn't get involved the third game but I didn't need them.. The first two games they were pivotal, dropping in and hitting my opponents in weak spots and basically helping to swing my games. My lootas never really made a showing, part of it was my placement but in the second game, while I had placement, I didn't have enough in the mob to take a solid round of shooting and they ran, never really contributing. Next time I may try a larger mob, or run with something else, maybe kommandos.
My opponents were all good guys, there to have fun and all three of my games were fun to play.
now to a quick rules question, sort of. I recently recieved a large Forgeworld Order and it included the Mega Dred and Mekka Dred. I was able to find the Mega Dred rules online but does anyone know where I can find the Meka Dred rules? I didn't discover until today that they're apparently in Imperial Armor 8 or something and I won't be making another FW order for sometime. I guess I made the assumption rules would be included with the models but sadly, they weren't. Help would be appreciated.
