That was our closest game yet! Funny how the best anti-tank I've used so far has been the Warboss on a bike - he was a real badass this game! Gork 'n' Mork would be proud.
The MVM (most vaulable model) of the game would still have to be the Daemon Prince though, he single-handedly wrecked the Deff Dread in a single combat, dealt the killing blow to the Warboss and mowed down the ork boyz like they were puny cultists

That was a very interesting game.
The Heldrake took forever to even come into play.
I had expected it to be a main player in the last game, but the orc on the bike snuck up behind him and royally kicked his arse, right after his first annihilating burst of demonic spew-fire.
The Daemon Prince on the other hand, well he made full use of his debut and was utterly kickass too.
I'd definitely find it enjoyable to take those two out for a spin again in the future.
Even the Chaos Cultists didn't suck quite as much as I expected them to.

I would think a unit of 20 would hold out much longer than what these guys did 
Basically just got into charging distance, got shot at and immediately had to run away.
Big Shootas are great against factions with fragile vehicles, like the dark eldar. Especially since they have those pesky saves that could negate a rokkit that actually hit them. Lootas seem like a great anti-vehicle choice too, just not with a heavily cluttered environment and those turbo boosting jet bikes of death whizzing around. I guess my best bet against those guys as an Ork player would be to use a fast vehicle with anti-infantry guns, like warbuggies. Or maybe jump infantry? Furtha orky R'n'D required, zog it.

I thought this army was 804 points, but seemingly it's not.
Och well, it's no big deal.
The game is going well so far.

Should I use this module?
http://vassal40k.tripod.com/
That's the one. It basically lets you use a program called Vassal to play tabletop Warhammer 40K over the internet.
Vassal 40K is really obscure though I guess, because it's not an official product and it's a small team who have developed the 40K module.
I'm having difficulty getting into Warhammer 40K properly because I haven't really got anybody to play against.
Or more accurately, no real avenue for playing the game.
There's a local wargame club, but it's very poorly organised.
Even if you do get a game arranged, there's often no room to play.
The last time I went there was no room to even play Magic the Gathering all cramped up, or even a little bit of table space to lean on and do a bit of mini-painting.... never mind enough room to play a spread out game like Warhammer 40K. So I just had to come home, and it was a 32 mile journey for nothing. Boooooo !
The games of 40K which I've played I really enjoyed, though.
Would anybody like to have a tutorial match with me using Vassal, to help me learn the game better ?Someone teach me how to use this!
I work 2 doors from a Games Workshop and only ogle at the figurines. It'd be great to try something like this out.
My only knowledge of Warhammer 40k is the Dawn of War videogames universe and a little bit of the Space Marines in book form.

Sure.
That would be good.
You work right next to a Games Workshop ?
I saw in White Dwarf that if you go in and ask, then the staff can play a tutorial game with you.
I live hundreds of miles away from the nearest Games Workshop store, though.
I don't think I've ever even been in one.
