TURN TWO- Orks: The Flash Gitz turned their fire onto the remaining Imperial Guardsmen, singling out the Command Section. Once again, with accuracy by virtue of superior dakka, their shots hit true, killing a trooper with a grenade launcher and wounding the Captain and the Commissar. The Stompa unleashed its guns on the Baneblade again, and again got lucky: the gunnery crew were stunned. The Baneblade was taking a serious pounding-- down, but not out.
The Kommandos fired their sluggas as they ran, killing two of the Ratlings even as they changed course and started pulling out tankbusta bombz for the Hellhound. The trukk boyz followed their lead and fired sluggas at the Ratlings, wiping them out, then turned around and smashed into the rear of the Hellhound-- with the Mega-Armor Nob at the head of the charge. Unfortunately the Hellhound was moving too fast to hit, although one well-placed tankbusta bomb did manage at least to blow off the Inferno Cannon...
The Warboss carefully led his Nobz through the tangled saplings shielding the Basilisk and the Iron Chimera. They fired their bionik weapons at the Basilisk, but it was the Big Shootas, not the Rokkits, that actually did the job on the weak side armor. With the Basilisk out of commission, they turned and charged the Iron Chimera, where the Warboss casually started ripping off chunks until the whole thing blew. Four guardsmen were killed and the rest had no choice but to fall back.
The powerful bike Nob had stripped his bike of Big Shootas in favor of some rokkits and enough room to swing his mighty power klaw. Undaunted by the front armor of the Demolisher, he led his remaining boyz right up under the big gun. The odds were against him as he started blindly hammering away at the armor-- and fwoom! The whole thing blew. Hoowah! He didn't even notice the crew skulking away. It was shaping up to be an Orky kind of day...
TURN TWO- Imperial Guard: The Guard tried desperately to rally. The Command Chimera raked the smoking hull of the Demolisher in a vain attempt to stop the bikes, but could not seem to find the mark. The command section opened fire on the Burna Boyz who had been persistently advancing down the center of the battlefield. Krak grenades blew two of them apart, but their morale held and they kept advancing. An autocannon traded shots with the Flash Gitz, with excellent accuracy, killing one of them and wounding the Nob. The Mortars fired into the masses of Orks to the north, but their range was off and they only killed one unlucky trukk boy.
The Hellhound tried to disperse the Kommandos by driving over them, but they were equipped to handle tanks both physically and mentally, and they jeered as the defenseless Hellhound slowly rolled away. It was a slightly different story a moment later when the Hellhound turned about and the hull-mounted heavy bolter started pounding into them. One Kommando was killed before they even realized what was shooting at them...
