Woods are standard areas and act as difficult terrain. Flat rock formations can be walked on at no movement penalty by models.
Six markers are placed around the map, half by each player. They are turned upside-down so the numbers can not be seen as they are placed.

"A divine intervention - from the Emperor! Spread out and find the perp, brothers..."
Dark Purist wins the infiltrator roll-off and gets to place his snipers before the kommandoz.
The six yellow questions marks are the possible objective markers. Each marker is labeled with a number, 1 to 6 on the bottom.
The objective number everyone is looking for is randomly rolled up as #2. But which marker could it be?
Mob1 forms up behind the hill, closely packed next to Mob2 which is lead by Warboss Chainsaw.
The Flash Gitz are close to the center, spread in thin ranks to present maximum firepower to the 'umies.
The Big Mek has a small following of gretchin with him to help herd the snotlings into position for his massive shokk attack gun (and to soak up bullets meant for him).
The Tank Bustaz are formed up and hoping to drink some high-grade motor oil later in the day, while the Lobbaz are spread out and hiding behind the rock formation to the south. The Kommandoz position themselves to respond to any threats to the big gunz crew, and stand ready to explore the southern area for the missing drunkard.
The first group is made up of Tactical Squad1 lead by the Chapter Master and the Terminators who are lead by the Captain.
The southern strike team has the heavy support units of the Dreadnought and the Land Raider tank, with Tactical Squad3 ready to embark and prove useful in the hunt.
The Chapter Master explains to the Land Raider crew the principle of being an "Unyielding Anvil" - this will allow the tank to act as a scoring unit. He also has a long discussion with the Terminator squad about the same topic and further inspires them to act as the "Hammer of Righteousness", which will allow them to re-roll poor wound dice throws.
Unfortunately, it is only an empty fungus beer bottle, covered in drool. The marker is #1, not the sought-after #2.
"Is the drool fresh?" Sergeant Immortus asks.
"Um... I have no fear, but I don't want to check that and I'm not going to, m'kay?"
Both Mobs run to the south.
The Flash Gitz move forward to get into range on the Snipers.
The Kommandoz stretch their line to cover the open gap that leads from the marine side of the table to the ork side.
And he looks bad.
"He musta put some si'co'dellic mushroomz in dat fungus beer! He iz trippin' out!"
One of the Tank Bustaz rolls him over so he won't choke on his own tongue. Warboss Chainsaw wants him alive, after all.
- The Tank Bustaz can see two huge targets and they fire off a stream of rokkits, but they are hopelessly out of range.
- The Flash Gitz and the Kommandoz create a horrible cross fire of rokkits, explosive slugs, and beams of pure radiation all focusing on the Snipers. Four of them die horrible deaths... Sergent Immortus and one other scout hunker down and vow vengeance for their fallen brothers.
- The Lobbaz pound a terrific volume of fire onto the position of Tactical Squad3, hoping to kill the majority of them before they can gain the protection of the Land Raider's interior. Despite using all of their ammo runts, they only manage to kill 2 marines.
- The Big Mek takes aim at Tactical Squad1 and launches a screaming snotling through the warp. There is a strange, wet sound that comes from the rock formation just next to the marines as the projectile misses. The snotling has materialized inside the stone and it begins to seep blood from the cracks and seams in the rock. "That's just foul!"
Tactical Squad3 embarks into the Land Raider and it growls up the middle. The Dreadnought is on it's southern flank.
The Terminators move up the hill while Tactical Squad1 move through the northern gap.
- The Snipers and the assault cannon on the Land Raider both focus on the Tank Bustaz. Four of them die trying to protect the fallen figure of Ol' Boomy.
- The Dreadnought opens up on the Kommandoz and kills 2.
- Tactical Squad1 shoots at the Flash Gitz, but their weapons are just out of range.
- The Terminators can range in on the Flash Gitz with no trouble, however. They fire a stream of krak missiles at the tough orc specialists. One Flash Gitz goes down in a spray of gore!
The Tank Bustaz charge towards the huge tank with big, excited eyes. Will they get to drink the savory engine oil from this monster? They hope so!
The Flash Gitz move towards the northern gap while Mob1 takes their original position.
Mob2 secures the objective.
The Kommandoz move forward to engage the Dreadnought, hoping to destroy it, but they'll settle for using the melee to avoid getting obliterated or burned alive by the tank!
- The Tank Bustaz shoot with wild excitement at the tank, but their rokkits fail to penetrate the tough armor. Only a couple of sooty dents are produced, despite their zeal.
- The Lobbaz shift targets to the snipers and a lucky shell explodes directly over Sergeant Immortus' location. He's down! The lone sniper checks his ammo levels and gets ready for a bit of payback...
- The Flash Gitz open fire on Tactical Squad1 and three of the space marines of obliterated by the massively overpowered energy weapons.
- The Big Mek also takes aim at Tactical Squad1 and fires a short burst of snotlings at them. His aim is much better this time as two space marines suddenly find insane snotlings inside their powered armor! "Get it off! ARRRRGH!" "Vile Xenos! NUUURGH!" Thud. Thud.
- The Kommandoz attack the Dreadnought. Their rokkits do nothing as the machine of war swats them out of the air and the swirling close combat results in no lasting damage to either side.
The Terminators continue to move up the hill and reach the top.
Tactical Squad1 is lead forward at the urging of Antonidus Aurelius.
"With the cleansing power of the Emporer's storm, we shall scour this filth from the planet!"
- The Land Raider has remained stationary so it's crew has the chance to use every weapon system. The tank targets two groups. The Flash Gitz get lucky as a melta beam disintegrates a tree instead of one of their members. The Tank Bustaz are not as fortunate as the heavy assault cannon rips three of their number to bloody rags and broken weapons.
- Tactical Squad3 continues what the tank started by unloading their boltguns at rapid fire into the thinning ranks of Tank Bustaz. Every one of them goes down under their withering and accurate fire.
- The lone sniper misses as he tries to kill Kaptain Krunktoof. Tactical Squad1 and the Terminators also shoot at the Flash Gitz and they have better luck as three of the Gitz die and another is wounded. Where is the Painboy? Unfortunately, he discovered a half-full bottle of Ol' Boomy's special beer and couldn't resist the temptation... "Whazzat? No kan halp... (HIC!) Me iz on... (Burp!) break right now... (hic!)"
- The close quarters battle between the Dreadnought and the Kommandoz continues. The orks manage to hit the machine with a couple of glancing blows that will reduce it's effectiveness next round, but three of their own are brutally crushed to death and tossed aside by the robotic power claw of their foe.
Mob2 moves forward to get in a better position to cover the retreat of Ol' Boomy that Warboss Chainsaw is hoping to perform.
- The Flash Gitz shoot at Tactical Squad1 and punish 2 marines brutally.
- The Lobbaz continue to fire at the Snipers, but the lone model remaining has picked a fine defensive location and is unharmed.
- The unnatural whine of the shokk attack gun kicks up even higher as the Big Mek hits the 'turbo vacuum' switch and scores of snotlings are sucked into the warp! He directs them to materialize right in front of Tactical Squad3 and the aim is perfect. Six space marines are blown away with huge holes ripped through both sides of their armor as wailing snotlings pepper their group moving several hundred miles per hour on impact.
- The dance of melee combat between the Kommandoz and the Dreadnought is ended as 2 more orks are ripped in half, but the nob cuts off coolant to the power plant and the war machine is turned into a bonfire!
Tactical Squad1 charges into combat with the few remaining Flash Gitz (and their drunken doctor who will likely not be much help).
The Terminators continue moving along the ridge line of the central hill.
- The Land Raider unloads all weapon systems this round. The Kommandoz worst fears are realized as the terrifying Flamestorm cannon roasts 4 orks and burns the backside of the nob quite severely. "Me bum! It's all crispy! Ow! Oww!! Owww!!!" This indignity is not one that the nob can recover from and the surviving remnants of his unit run faster than they ever have before in an utter rout.
- The Land Raider's assault cannon and melta attack Mob2, as do all of the weapons from the Termiantor squad and the last sniper. The bloodletting from this combined weight of fire is heavy. Eight of the ladz of Mob2 are put down and a scattered frag missile explosion manages to kill 2 of the Big Mek's gretchin retinue.
- Tactical Squad1 fires their weapons into the Flash Gitz before they slam into them. A total of 3 Flash Gitz are laid low, one of them with his throat crushed by a power fist. The gitz only manage to kill a single space marine in response. Kaptain Krunktoof is mortified by this poor showing... he only leads a single git and a very tipsy painboy. "Dis iz not so good, me thinkin'."
Mob2 drag Ol' Boomy away from the front lines in an attempt to keep him from the authorities in the fast-moving tank.
Mob1 jumps into the battle to support the struggling Flash Gitz in their battle versus the Chapter Master and his remaining space marines.
- The Kommandoz fire their rokkits and in an amazing display of marksmanship both warheads nail the lone Sniper right in the head. "Ooo! Lookit! A meat firework!"
- The Lobbaz shift targets to the Terminators and even their runtherd grunts in surprise when one terminator goes down and the mighty captain takes a wound.
- The Big Mek fires another load of frightened snotlings - this time into the Terminators armor! Three of the powerful warriors go down screaming, and the captain takes another wound as a rabid and insane snotling gnaws on his leg before he can stop it.
- The Flash Gitz struggle with Tactical Squad1. His last git is wounded, but they manage to bring down the last two marines of the squad, leaving the Chapter Master Antonidus Aurelius alone in a sea of greenskin fury.
- The orks of Mob1 are only too happy to surround the Chapter Master! Their assault turns out to be completely futile as four of their ladz are slammed to the ground and they can't even touch the experienced officer. "You can not scratch my armor - for it is made of pure faith! Fall upon my sword to gain a swift death, xeno-filth, for the Emperor's servants are merciful as we follow his example!"
The Terminators reach the other side of the hill at last and form up right next to the rumbling tank.
The Chapter Master continues to taunt the ork mob surrounding him and this enrages the greenskins mightily! He merely laughs to see their discomfiture.
- The Terminators and the Land Raider attack Mob2. Four more of the orkz die and another grot from the Gretchin unit is killed by a hot chunk of shrapnel.
- The Chapter Master drives into the demoralized Flash Gitz. He slays the hurt git and gives the Kaptain a wound. This is too much for them and they try to flee. Due to the press of Mob1, however, they get confused and instead run themselves onto Antonidus Aurelius' power sword. "A wise choice of death! It was quick and relatively painless - unlike what I'll be giving your disgusting peers soon!"
The fleeing Kommandoz move slowly over the rocks towards the comfort of their side of the table... and a tube of burn cream for the nob that's back in his tent.
"Keep dem eyes facin' front, youse! Ain't nuttin' ta see back here! Owiee!"
- The Lobbaz and the Big Mek both continue their bombardment of the Terminator squad and manage to stop two more of them.
- Mob1 now is able to get every available lad into the fight against the untouchable Chapter Master. The mighty warrior kills 2 more boyz, but even he can not protect from attacks coming simultaneously from every side. The enraged orks cause him to suffer three wounds.
The Land Raider surges towards the enemy line, skidding to a stop just in front of the grinning ladz of Mob2 and Warboss Chainsaw himself...
"Ware you tink, youse goin', ugies?"
- The flamestorm cannon unloads its fiery load into Mob2 and four ladz are blasted into cinders.
- The Chapter Master swings his mighty power sword and decapitates three orks, but his left leg is cut in half by the nob's power claw and he goes down! "Great lamentations! Avenge me, brothers!"
"Lemme go!" he mumbles, "Me good ta drive meself home..."
Mob1 runs to assist with the securing of the objective, but they can see they will be too far away to help in time...
Mega-Warboss Chainsaw unleashes a mighty "WAAAGH!" just for the heck of it.
- The rokkit-wielding Kommandoz shoot their rokkits at the tank, hoping to immobilize it, but both rokkits miss very badly.
- The Lobbaz unload their wares into the middle of the two remaining men of Tactical Squad3 and both fellows buy the whole farm.
- The Big Mek no longer has and Gretchin to use as "e'merg'ancy ammo", so he does his best at putting some snotlings inside the Land Raider. His aim is poor and he instead puts the snotlings inside two of the ladz of Mob2. Their bodies explode shockingly as the snotlings interpenetrate their hides.
The chances of pulling this off are low, but the space marines have no doubt that the Emperor will smile upon their efforts this day.
Their desperate plan is to drive right through the ork line and unload the Terminators with the Captain in range to assault the Gretchin and wrest control of the perp from them.
But will it work?
The ladz of Mob2 jump out of the way of the tank shock!
All except Mega-Warboss Chainsaw... He is cunning and has discerned the space marine's intent! He stands awaiting either Death or Glory...
He gets death! Well... He's out of the fight - that's certain...
His metal skull might have saved his heavily-modified-with-elective-surgery brain, but his chest cavity looks about as flat at a spaceport runway. His limbs twitch grotesquely after the tank leaves him behind in the dirt...
- The Terminators exit the tank as planned and slam into the Gretchin without shooting at them. They want the criminal alive to suffer for his crimes, after all. The runtherd manages to kill one of the Terminators, but it is a futile gesture as all of the greenskins are torn to shreds with chainfists buzzing like the scream of an angry deity! They take possession of the objective at the very last possible moment!
