This game was about 2500 points a side, with Nick Grant in charge of the Orks and David Wallace commanding the Imperials. It used standard Epic40k rules with FP 1 amendments, and a few house rules. Figures were mostly mine as this was an introductory battle for Dave and Nick. I shunted aside a forest before the battle while sorting out figures, and forgot to move it back again. That's why the forest is over the road... I didn't even notice until I looked at the photo's - oops.

Turn 2
TURNS 1 & 2
The Imperial Recon detachment outflanks the ork line and takes an objective. Almost all other detachments on both sides, basically just charge straight at the nearest enemy... Ork Wagonz2 takes a beating trying to attack the Imperial Armour. The Boarz are targetted by the Ordinatus Mars' Sonic Cannon and then broken by Assault Marines. The Thunderhawks attack Grindda stripping some powerfields. The Rokkitz and Grindda target the two Tactical detachments. Tac1 assaults Wagonz1 causing them to retreat. Burnna saunters down the road looking for something to shoot...

TURN 3
Wagonz 2 is annihilated by Landraiders. Grindda takes severe punishment from the two Tactical detachments and Ordinatus Armageddon. The two Tactical detachments take fire from the Rokkitz and the two Gargants. The Boarz remain broken hiding behind the ruins. The Recon detachment moves around behind the ork line, but retreats next turn.
Turn 3

Turn 4
TURN 4
The Thunderhawks swoop in almost destroying Grindda. Grindda manages to get a last volley of shots off, destroying most of the recon detachment and damaging the Ordinatus Armageddon. Grindda is then destroyed by return fire. Burnna turns around and wipes out Assault marines as well as damaging the Ordinatus Mars. The Imperial Armour takes out a few of the Gunz detachment but loses many tanks to the return fire. The Rokkitz and Wagonz1 pound the two Tactical detachments. Four Imperial detachments have dropped to below half strength this turn which puts Imperial Morale at -14. The Orks are on -4 so score a marginal victory.
