Dark Angels Vs Orks (Warhammer 40K)

Today I played the same scenario I earlier had played against Mat's Chaos;: three moveable objectives and an intervening mountain on one side. My ork army was unusually shooty, with 15 Loota boyz and two Big Meks with shokk attack guns, a smash a gun and a mega cannon.  It was also flexible with outflanking buggies, sneaky Snikrot with his 15 commandoes, 10 bikers and three trucks full of ork boyz as well as 5 storm boyz.. There were also 10 gretchin with slaver, that played no part in the battle.

The orks, also uncharacteristically, were in no mood to initiate assaults, given the Dark Angels powers of overwatch, content to rely on massed fire power. Two of the objectives were secured and a killing ground prepared for anything crossing open ground.

Orks secured 'first blood', two objectives and 'slay the warlord' while Dark Angels obtained one objective.

We ended the game after ten moves and the game went for four hours. It probably ended just in time for orks as a mishap occurred with a shokk attack gun at the end of the battle which could have done a lot of damage but Mat chose to wipe out most of the gretchin with the misdirected big blast. A strange choice I thought but it would have been an ork victory whatever at that stage.
