Orks vs. 'Nids

Recap of the Fight:

The Orks had heard rumours of a bug infestation on their planet. The Boyz tried to piece together the clues, it always came up the same. Dem' bugz are makin' a home in Orky cities.

The Warboss gave the orders and climbed into his mech suit, it was time to wipe dem bugz off dis' Ork world. Find anyting' buggy, and burn it to da ground!

The infestation center had been identified, a three story building that had been shelled out, all the mess of bugs were streaming out from there. When the Warboss arrived on the scene, they could see spore chimneys and hive nests starting to spread from the epicenter.

The Warbosses DeftKopters streaked out towards the hive building, intent on fire bombing it from a safe advantage. They skimmed along the edges of ruined buildings and ramparts, ready to let loose a volley. That's when the building errupted. Hormagaunts and warriors streamed out of every window and crack in the wall. The Kopterboyz thought they were high enough to be well out of reach, but they misjudged the leaping distance, and were soon swarmed by gaunts.

The warboss and his entourage of buggies hit the gas to speed and help the Kopter boyz, so focues on the sight of kopters being dragged back down to earth, they didn't not see the Tyranid Warriors levelling their weapons at his convoy. Goblets of acid sprayed around the buggies, but they were moving too fast, the large blast of carniverous vegetation shook the Bosses buggy, but it kept on moving.

Three lines of boys moved up towards a hive node, as spore mines drifted down from the air. The back rank of Ork Boyz ignored the threat, and moved past them. The violent stampede of an Ork mob set off the toxin mines, choking the life out multiple boys. They came down hard on the hive node, and were intent on destroying it, when they heard the continuous chitter of gaunts running across the field. Soon, they felt a high pitched scream enter their Orkish brains as a hive tyrant and guard walked out from the building to face the multiple waves of boyz threatening the hives resources. The boyz held their ground, even when from behind a giant wall, a carnifex erupted and began careening forward. The kopterz managed to escape the hormagaunt swarm, and beelined for biovores that had been spotted. Of the five, there were only two left from the squad. They stopped to drop some fire bombs on three warriors they had uncovered in the ruins. The explosions caught the attention of a lictor, camouflaged against the broken walls of the rampart. It leapt out and brought one of the kopters down, as the Hormagaunts and warriors lept at the lone remaining Dekt Kopter, crashing it into the side of he building, cratering it.

Far away from the rest of the fighting, in a wooded area outside the ruined town, Stormboyz dropped from the sky, the rockets on their back, scorching the forest floor where they landed. They could see the sickening hive node, pulsing, and absorbing the trees and soil around t, small insect like creatures being spit out from it. The boyz were scouting ahead for a bigger wave of boyz to come in, as they were locking down the area around the node, they did not notice the genestealers silently, climb down from the trees. Not even a warning shot was fired off, as the Stormboyz were left in a pile of scorched earth where they stood.

The gaunts and carnixfex slammed into the waves of Boyz and Nobz at the fenced off area of town. Gaunts and boyz were being tossed aside in the giant melee. The nobz tried to wound the carnifex, but it's chitnenous armour bounced off any shots, and the boyz could only try to hold down the rampaging carnifex as it tore through boy after boy.

The Warboss surveyed the scene from his buggy, things were not looking good. He ordered a hard right turn, as the four buggies changed course to stare directly down the Hive tyrant and warriors. He gave the order to plow forward, his Nobz jumped out of the buggy with him, as the back row of buggies lined up their shootaz. Three toxin spore mines floated down from above, and ina three explosions of poisonous gas, all the buggies were destroyed or wrecked, leaving only the boss and his nobz to fight the hive tyrant.

In the woods, the late wave of boyz to backup the stormboyz grew in anger, when they saw lurking genestealers with parts of the Sotrmboyz rockets hanging off their claws. Their cries of rage drew the attention of the genestealers who rushed forward into the fray as Claw met choppa and Green Orkish fury!

The grand melee in the middle turned into a quagmire. The nobz and boys couldn't kill the carnifex, and the carnifex was being slowed down by the piles of dead orks around it. The boyz had enough, when the saw a pistol blow a hole through the side of its head, and then seeing armour and brain matter regenerate, the boyz knew it was time to run! The knob grabbed the last remaining boy, and made back for home. The warboss roared in rage, as he saw his boyz and knobs either retreating, or being torn to pieces. It was then the chameleon like lictor jumped from a pile of rubble, leading the way for the hive tyrant and warriors to follow. The warbosses knobs were ripped to shreds by the onslaught of talons and claws. The warboss knew this day was lost and began to break back towards his remaining boys.

The warboss struggled to run in his mech gear, the toxin spore already poisoning his body. It was harder to breath, he called out to a squad of surviving boys, to round them up, when they looked over in his dircetion, a lone seed bounced into their ranks, exploding. Carniverous plant tendrils erupted from the ground, rending the boyz into mush. The warboss tried to roar in anger, but his mech suit lurched forward, the lictor had not given up pursuit, it was leading the rest of them, to him. It's claws ripped deep, its feeder tendrils already absorbing and processing his dna. He tried to pull the lictor off, but a wall crumbled and the tyrant guard rushed forward, clawing and biting away at the feet, bringing the warboss to the ground. He tried to get up, but the blind bulldog like guards were pinning him down, the scream in his brain grew louder. They were waiting for the Hive Tyrant. The Warboss looked up, defiant, as the emotionless Hive tyrant drove down his talons into the warboss, and tore him in two.


Far away from the fighting, the bloody fight with the genestealers was over. The boys pumped extra rounds into the corpses, just to make sure, and stomped in a few skulls, to make extra sure. They looked into the forest, where the hive node was, it had already absorbed much of the area. The pine forest grew out of control into a mutated jungle, the temperature began to raise, and microbiotic spores in the air began to make the boyz cough. What was concerning, was the node was now spitting out gaunts, freshly covered in ooze, and guarding the node. The boyz knew they'd have to pull back and tell the warboss. They had to burn this place from the sky, and soon!
