Ork Hulk (Game 1) Turn 18
Down to the Weirdboy...
This is a complex game, and while any new players are totally allowed to drop in at any point, we ask that you read the rules before deciding to play.
Game ends when a player picks up the Steem:
- 2 Steem to the player that collects the Steem icon.
- 2 Steem to the player with the most kills at the end of the game.
Yeah right you ork boyz!
You killed dem all.
Just bonk dat weirdboy on 'is explodey 'ead...
... and grab dat STEEM!
Last turn
Holy Smokes! @justatouchfey killed a powered klaw Ork in close combat... those things can rip tanks apart but she just blasted him to pieces with her combat knife. Amazing! The weirdboy got scared with all the frag grenades exploding around him and has retreated to the safety of his STEEM room (get it?). Any.... who, surely we're only a turn or two away from finishing off this bad boy.
Quick Summary of rules relevant to this turn:
- Players can move 5 squares in a turn.
- Players can not occupy the same square as an enemy or another player.
- Players can also choose to shoot or charge into hand to hand combat. A charging player moves 6 squares and gets a +1 to wound.
- Players that charge an enemy already in hand to hand combat get a +1 to their roll for being an Additional Combatant.
- Players can flee from close combat, but must roll a 4+. On a roll of 1, 2 or 3 they suffer a wound to represent being hit when their back was turned.
- Players can find weapons or armour and pick them up by moving onto that square. Players can choose to pick up the new weapon or keep their current weapon.
- Players will always keep their knife.
- Players must stop on that square to pick up the new weapon... but can use it immediately.
- Enemies have 1 wound.
- Enemies will only move towards Players in their line of sight.
- There is no friendly fire.
Turns
- Players move first. Enemies move after all players have completed their actions.
- Players will have 24 hours to list their actions in the comments.
- Move turns are based on which players comment first.
- After 24 hours the enemies will take their actions

Rules for the Weirdboy
The weirdboy is a psyker, which means he has psychic powers fueled by the warp. The warp is filled with demons that curse and torment him. As such, he has to roll 2+ whenever he wants to use a power... on a roll of 1 his head explodes.
Psychic powers are used instead of fighting, so after the Weirdboy's movement phase:
Power | Range | Roll to wound | Special rules |
---|---|---|---|
Smite | 12 squares | 5+ | |
Headbanger | 3 squares | 3+ | Kills instantly |
Warpath | 6 squares | 3+ | Doubles the attacks of an enemy Ork |
Da Jump | 8 squares | NA | Can move any player or enemy anywhere within LoS |
Weirdboy can unleash his powers into close combat, he clearly sees each mind and can't miss.
UPDATE 1 : @happyme and @pandorasbox race down towards the action:
UPDATE 2 : @pbock & @justaftouchfey move closer... the weirdboy cowers in the corner:
Please do continue to ask questions as you see fit...
KICK DEM BOYZ!!!

Thanks for playing!
East, south, south, south - pick up shoota
Can I move one more square south or did I use my last action on the shoota? if I can, I move more south, if not then this is it
That's it I'm sorry. You have to land on the square to pick up a weapon.. but you could have used it straight away if there were any enemy orks in range.
E,E, S,S,S for me please.
Done! The race is on!
okay if moves are still allowed I'll move W 3 and pick up that frag!
Of course... we're still waiting on the two boys. Classic dudes...
S e e e e
Sorry for thé delay !
My dad phoned this weekend to get some counsel on buying an ereader, and reminded me that as far as connectivity goes I should have just asked my neighbours by now...
Sometimes the simplest solutions elude me too long XS
So tonight I'm going to try and make an arrangement with one of my neighbours. Hopefully he can share his/her wifi 😅
Hahahaha, it took me so long to realise that your first sentence was your move. I totally read it as "Seeeee, the simplest solutions are the best..." Ha. Excellent. Thanks, done.
Also, no stress on the delay, other aliens might have used the time to formulate epic plans of mass destruction or calling in reinforcements... this weirdboy is really just hiding under a table.

Has this game stalled? No new action in 2 days???
I know! I'm checking multiple times a day to see if there's a new turn! :)
But I think @daclawboyz is entitled to having a weekend off too ;)
Hahaha, it's not me.... I'm waiting for @pbock, @urbangladiator and @justatouchfey... I keep checking back too.
Normally I'd just march on without any stragglers, but we've hit the sticky part of the game. I know @pbock doesn't get a lot of online time when he's not working so I assumed it's a weekend thing..... or maybe they're both upset they died in @happyme's game and they've quit the blockchain altogether?!?
I'm teasing... I'm sure they'll be back on Monday.
I've found at least a temporary fix for the online presence, so this should be the last time I made you all wait on me like this X/
I definitely quit the blockchain! >:o the moon is a lie.
If you quit the blockchain can I have all your blocks plz?
Can I have her chains?
Can't, if you take out the blocks the chain is broken and you might risk a fork
@urbangladiator, where are you!?
Now that we're waiting anyway, are you planning to launch a second game after this one? Do you have any changes or plans in mind? I really like this type of game! Lots of thinking involved!
@urbangladiator, come back!
Oh, absolutely... my brain is buzzing with ideas. I'm thinking I might have the players be scouts for the STEEM Marines instead of Orks... you're all way too cunning.
Ooo do we get more kinds of weapons then? And a bigger map! Maybe enemy reinforcements if we thin the map too much?
