just a quick over view of the games:
Game one: Orks vs Blood angels, 1500pts cityfight domination mission. Orks win 2 buildings to none. Highlights: lootas shoot up both furiouso dreadnoughts (rolls 3 shots each, caused 6 glances on each dreadnought..!) and a squadron of kans smashed up the redeemer landraider in assault.
Game two: Orks vs eldar 1500pts standard purge the alien mission. Eldar win 8 points to 1. First time new eldar book has been used in our group, same silly gittishness but it seems the point costs have been ironed out and the broken runes are gone. No real highlights as I got stupidly mauled by a force I couldn't really get close enough to shoot at, let alone assault. The new wave serpent shooting attack is silly, but I guess anyone in power armour will just laugh it off. It mangled the orks. Its going to be yet another edition of uphill struggle against the eldar.
Game 3: Orks vs blood angels 1500pts army of death mission from chapter approved book. All the angels become death company at the same time... Result: after turn 7 b angels are 107 vps ahead but have been tabled. In this mission its old vp's (points cost of unit) but the angels score double for units completely destroyed, normal for units that have fallen back. The defender scores points normally and also gets the points for its own units that survive or are falling back. Huge destruction on both sides.
