I won the roll to go first and let my opponent choose sides and deploy. He deployed his two units of choppa boyzs in the middle of the board. He kept the gretchin in reserve. He also kept the deffkopta's and Ghazghkull and the commando's in reserve to outflank. I deployed the shooty terminators, the wolfpriest and a unit of grey hunters on one side of the board, 18 inches from the closest orc boyz unit. I tried to seize but didn't. I chose a unit of choppa boyz to count double. He chose a unit of scouts.
In my opponent's first turn, he moved and ran all his units except for the gretchin on from this board edge. On his right he moved up a unit of shoota boyz and a unit of kill kans. On his left, he moved up all the other units. His choppa boyz moved and ran forward and tried to get into terrain but didn't make it.
In my turn 1 I dropped down Logan and the longfangs in a center location. The shooty terminators dropped down on his right flank and tried to take out the killa kans, destroying one. The second unit of grey hunters dropped down next to Logan and the longfangs. Both my speeders moved up from my board edge. I also moved the units that had deployed towards Logan's bubble and away from the board edges where Snikrot, Ghazghkull and the commando's could come on from. His choppa boyz took some damage from my shooting but they held their ground.
In my opponent's second turn, both units of gretchin came on but the commando's and the deffkopta's didn't. He moved them on from his board edge, spaced out so my wolf scouts couldn't come in that easily from his own board edge. He moved his units to the left forward and started to shoot the killa kans at my units. The choppa boyz that I had designated moved back and into terrain. His other choppa unit moved forward and into terrain. He assaulted my shooty terminators with the killa kans and the shoota boyz but they held their ground.
In my shooting phase, I concentrated fire on both choppa units, reducing them both their numbers but they held their ground. The shooty terminators were destroyed in the combat with the orks and the killa kans. My first landspeeder also added flamer fire to the choppa boyz. But the other one was out of range so he turboboosted towards my opponent's lines. My runepriest cast murderous hurricane on the first unit of killa kans on my opponent's left, doing no damage, but slowing the down. My first unit of scouts came on, the one my opponent had designated, and I moved them into terrain near his boar edge.
On my opponent's third round, the commando's and the deffkopta's still didn't arrive. With his movement blocked on the left as he didn't want to risk wrecking the squadroned killa kans, my opponent only moved his units forward and shot at my units but failed to hurt me. The choppa boyz assaulted the speeder. The shoota boyz and the killa kans destroyed the shooty terminator's drop pod.
In my third turn, my second unit of scouts arrived. They assaulted and destroyed a unit of gretchin. The second landspeeder moved up and flamed his shoota boyz. Logan and the longfangs started to move more towards the middle of the table so I could keep line of sight on the retreating choppa boyz. The assault terminators and the grey hunters shuffeled sideways to stay in range of Logan's bubble. Although I reduced the boys of both choppa units, they continued to make their morale saves. One of my empty drop pods also arrived which I dropped own in a corner on my side of the board. I moved the second landspeeder who couldn't shoot this turn out of the combat. The runepriest repeated the murderous hurricane on the killa kans.
In my opponent's fourth turn, Ghazghkull and the deffkopta's arrived. One unit of deffkopta's came on near the empty drop pod. He called his waaagh. He moved up the large unit of choppa boyz. I declared I was going to use my banner in both units of grey hunters. He didn't assault with the choppa boyz but he did a multi-assault with Ghazghkull, the commando's and the deffkopta's against my assault terminators, the runepriest and the grey hunters. I failed most counterattack rolls but used Logan's bubble to give hem another attack anyway. I stopped his assault, killing all the deffkopta's, commando's and snikrot but I lost all the grey hunters except for the wolfguard and some of the assault terminators. I also put one or two wounds on Ghazghkull. The wolfguard was not in pile in range so consolidated into terrain. With the shoota boyz he assaulted both the landspeeder and the scouts he had designated. My scouts were butchered but the landspeeder survived. With the killa kans, he also shot down the second landspeeder.
In my turn, I moved the surviving landspeeder back. Ghazgkull killed the runepriest but my two remaining assault terminators held. I assaulted the remaining shoota boyzs with the second scouts squad. Logan left the unit of longfangs and joined the second unit of grey hunters. They assaulted the second unit of choppa boyz and whiped them out. I did lose several of the grey hunters in the process. The longfangs shot down two of the last four choppa boyz in the other unit but they still held their ground.
We didn't have time to continue and when we calculated victory points, we had less than 100 points difference. There was no way either of us would have won this battle anyway either if the game had continued. 600 points difference is a lot. So I ended the tournament with a draw.
