The project that culminates in the final adventure, or at least the tracks the lead to a cold trail.

the orks took the field for the first time in years, in a custom mission from the Sanctus Reach campaign. It was good fun to do some knee-bent running about with the old krew.
Well, I didn’t put a dent in the terminators. But that giant bane blade on the bridge? The scenario called for me to blow it up. I did achieve that with great help from the Shokk Attack Guns (I had two). The boys didn’t do anything on the charge. But I forgot about the choppa extra attack and the mob dipped to just below 20 strong because of overwatch.
It was really fun to play them again.
To the defense of my opponent, in the fluff the bane blade is protected on the bridge by space wolf terminators. He took Fists because he had them.
I would have done better if I had just gone to the edge of the bridge and held my ground. But I decided to charge across and piecemeal my assault. Not so great of an idea. :)
8th edition orks got some flavor back. I love the new mob rules, you can even combine squads again mid game! Fun!
Unfortunately, I've staved my boyz off till after big game. Too much to do till then. It's good to see them come out for you again. I'm really excited about the new codex in a few months. If its anything like Death Guard, There should be some real innovative stuff in it. Things that you and I have been wishing for (for years now).

That is a lot of terminators there. How did the boys play for you?
