The first of (hopefully) many big Epic Armageddon Events! Epic Armageddon mega battle report!
This post is part two in a series! If you missed the first one then jump here and read it first!
Round Two
Gork and Mork grant Orks the initiative in turn two, and the green Gargant moves!
It's lumbering body, a mock of the pure titan form moved forward in a semi comedic way.
However there was no one laughing once this green monstrosity assaulted the wall defenders!

The Infantry stood no chance. bodies flew left and right and the metallic monstrosity ignored all incoming fire with it's void shields. Infantry remnants fall back to the Planetary Defense Gun generator building.
The west flank is under siege! Ork fortresses ram into the defenders and their passengers fall out!
Orcs flood the defenses! The following mele is bloody, brutal and pretty much one sided. In almost a blink of an eye two mechanized infantry companies are all but wiped from the face of Armageddon.
Trying to save the day my artillery opens fire on a kult of speed formation.
Rocket fly but they either miss or do not expload at all. The overall bombardment is without much effect.
Stompa mob move up to the east side of the city gate to put some more pressure on the defenders.
The Great Gargant assaults the imperial guard infantry company
and fails to push through! An infantry company was able to repel a Great Gargants assault!
In my mind they just earned themselves a dedicated name "Gatekeeper" company and (someday) a nice graphic on their banner (for now just an AI generated one).

Their friends on their right however did not want to test their luck and decided to pull out of the trenches to avoid the oncoming assault forces and hold their ground in the city.
Out of nowhere (or rather forgotten in my memory but from a very specific unit) The final hit connects with the Great Gargant. Black Smoke blows as the monstrosity goes up in flames and explodes! A spark of Joy goes through the defenders minds!
While the East part of the gate holds, the west part is overrun. Orcs consolidate in the fortifications that were held by imperials a few moments ago and new greenskin infantry units move up into the trenches.
Supa stompa doubles up and fires at the retreating defenders. Taking fire from an Orkish monstrosity is never nice. However this time there were no casualties! pulling back was definitely a good move.
Pulling back also meant avoiding the support fire from the nearby Stompa mob!
While the Orkish masses perform some utterly unidentifiable maneuvers (I have no Idea what happened here :D )
A Marine landing craft assaults an Supa Stompa mob on the far left flank. The monstrous constructions moved by their internal Squiggoth beasts fall one by one to the unrelenting bolter fire!
Orcs decide to perform a daring drop in a landa and take over the governors palace.The air corridor is clear and the filthy Xenos can freely deliver their payload!
However this move was to be expected! A company of Leman Russes pulls back and fires on them, dealing minimal damage. The damage is less important than the fact that they now have blast markers on them and are ready for an incoming assault!
Meanwhile the Krieg infantry is facing a full blown Savage Ork assault.
Boar riding beasts charge the trenches while Orkesauruses support. Minefields explode left and right, but the green Xenos don't seem to mind it at all!
The remnants of marines pull back and try to regroup what is left of their broken forces.
On the very far edge, the Mechanized Infantry company holds strong.
While the left-center is being flooded with infantry, light vehicles and a few Stompas and Gargants!
With almost no defenders left!
The entrance gate is abandoned, it's empty (for now) bunkers accompanied by the burning Mega Gargant wreck.
The right-center is ... also flooded with the Orkimedes Gargant mob.
Mek boy Gargant with a huge big gunz mob, lots of Stompas two Supa Stompas and a Gargant storm the now empty lines!
While the Right flank is ... you guessed it, also flooded! This time the flood consists of feral Orks accompanied by ferral beasts of all shapes and sizes!
The Krieg infantry along with their Ultramarines allies hold the line for the time being. However the main Orkesaurus wave will hit them next turn!
And so will the Steam Gargant trio!
If you were wondering where is the Ork supreme commander, then let me assure you that Mekboy mega Gargant with "Gulgaz Thrak Mak Uruk" The Ork supreme Warboss is in the midst of battle, firing every available gun he has!
