To Commandar Krause of the Dark Lion Space Marine Chapter

Ork forces have landed on the planet Landis V. While this world is not of particular importance to the empire, reports have been received that show these orks have been able to build titans in a very short amount of time. All reports indicate that only small titans have been completed. While these ork monstrosities are no match when compared to the glorious and miraculous machines of the Titan Legions, the speed at which these have been constructed is of great concern. The empire does not want this clan of orks to take their titans off Landis V and possibly threaten a more vital world.

As such, your force is being dispatched to Landis V with orders to destroy the ork titans as well as the ork forces.

Supreme Commander Darius

Quote of the Day: Through the destruction of our enemies do we earn our salvation!

++++++ Message End ++++++

As it turned out, the intelligence was bad and the Ork forces had several Gargants at their disposal. To make matters even worse, a small force of Eldar entered the battle midway through with the intention of taking out one of the Imperial Titans.

At the end of the day the Marines were able to achieve their objectives while only suffer light casualties.

Had great fun, but had to bow out early. Good to see how it ended, even if Krause DIDN'T fall on his aquiline nose. ;->=

I would sniff a bit at not being mentioned in dispatches for 'first blood' if I'd done any better on the left side.

I will say that the forgiving of the odd wound made a heck of a difference. As orks, Sir Randall and I should have been MUCH more strenuous about engaging only when we could mass fire.

Having our boys strung out certainly had us cut up piecemeal.

The pansies just plain evaporated.

All of which takes nothing away from Bill's win. Old school, 'he earned it.'

Nice looking game! Looks like fun. Interesting using GASLIGHT rules for epic 40K.

Nice AAR and photos, thanks! I always enjoy seeing the old plastic Warlord titans getting some game time.
