I believe this was a 1500 point game with myself playing the unstoppable orks surging forward to overwhelm the pitiful humans who stood in our way. Since this was a breakthrough scenario, I wanted hard-hitting formations that could take a punch and keep slogging forward. No speed, no trickery and no subtlety. I picked a unit of boarboyz, a unit of foot-slogging Snakebites backed by grots, Stompas and Squiggots, a unit of BloodAxes filled with plenty of long-range fire power and a commanding general. The Imperial Fists player took specialty formations- a unit of assault troops and units of tactical troops backed by Whirlwinds. As the defender, he lined his side with razor wire (the unpainted popsicle sticks with posts in them and trenches (the unpainted black thing) while using his option to hide to great effectiveness. I took a gargant, a unit of boarboyz, Attachment: File comment: Orks moving forward, turn one OrkTurnOne.jpg [ 109.2 KiB \| Viewed 4679 times ] Attachment: File comment: The board from the orks side.

The Blood Axes pushed down the center past the farm and the Snakebites advanced slowly towards the Imperial Fists on the hill but to no avail. My formations were broken.

I tried to bull ahead and the different speeds made it so that he could bear his entire army on parts of my army. Concentration of force is key. It was mine to lose and lose it I did.

Wow this is great! I love the hedges you did. Really gives the board a nice, countryside feel. Did you make those, or buy them somewhere? Please post more!

Thanks, I made them out of sculptey, mdf, model train flocking and a piece of carpet.

1) Cut the MDF to size
2) arrange sculptey in a mound around the edges and then slide it off onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
3) bake 15 min at 250 degrees
4) spraypaint brown
5) glue to mdf and then put flocking on top.

Same for the individual ones except I used a popsicle stick instead of the MDF base to model it before sliding it off the stick onto the parchment paper. It is sturdy and rigid enough to be on its own after baking.
