Tyranids swarm the objective |
Chaos prepares its advance |
Deployment: Dawn of War
No Night Fighting
Relic: 3 pts
HQ: objectives 2 pts
First blood, Slay the Warlord, Line Breaker
We used old school dawn of war deployment, taking turns placing models. Chaos took first turn.
Turn 1: Chaos advances quickly. A Rhino gets immobilized on his objective. The Deamon prince jumps forward to try and gain cover from the Zoenthropes. The Other Rhinos advance towards the bunker in the center holding the Relic. The Havoc launchers deal a few wounds to the Gants, but no real blood is spilled. The Tyrand Turn 1 is a bit more Vicious. Jumping from cover the Hive Crone and Hive Tyrant jump towards the Deamon Prince, not before using Catalyst on himeself and Unleashing the Twin Linked brain leech worms on the Deamon prince brings him down quickly. First blood is taken by Tyranids. The chaos deamon will learn from this. The Hive crone takes a shot at the Forgefiend and manages a pen with a Tentaclid. The deamon Engine shrugs of the Results. The Zoenthropes unleash warp lances upon the rhino and only manage 3 glances. The Gants move up the board.
Open Fire! |
The Swarm Hungers |
The Helldrakes make their arrival, vector striking the Hive Tyrant on the way by. It managed to make 3 FNP rolls! The plauge marines embarked into the derelict bastion, manning the gun emplacements and firing at the Hive Crone. The Crone shrugged off the wounds and manged to stay airborne. Firing some more shots at the advancing swarm the Rhinos dealt some more wounds. Shrouded by the Venomthrope the Gants made cover saves. The Hell Drake unleashed its Hades auto cannon onto the Hive crone landing 3 wounds. The Forge Fiend manged to glance himself 3 times! but made 2 deamon saves.The Crone made 2 FNP and stayed aloft! The Tyranids unleash the Warp lance upon the bastion leveling it to the ground. The Mawloc takes 2 hull points off of a Rhino before being forced back into reserves. The second Mawloc gets placed across the board. The Crones Split up and The Hive tyrant makes for the Marines holding the objective. The Hive Tyrant takes the last hull point off the forge fiend. The Crones attempt a few shots at the Hell Drakes and manage to get another Pen. The dice were rather hot for me this game! The Helldrake ignores the effect again. The Tyranid continue the advance with both Tervigon rolling doubles for making babies! with 22 Gants added to the table the gants Run!
Helldrakes vs. Hive Crones |
Curse you metal Bawks! |
You shall not pass! |
Turn 4
The Drake returns, using the bale flamer and vector striking the gants away from the Relic. The Marines bolt pistol into the Mawloc and attempt to charge. The Chaos lord leading the fray manages to deal 3 wounds to the Mawloc. He smashes and kills 2 marines. Gants manage to deal 2 hull points to the Hell Drake. Rhinos continue to try and stop Gants from getting line breaker.
The combat continues with the mawloc killing another marine leaving The Chaos lord the sole marine in combat.
Turn 5
Firing more shots at the Gants its not enough to deny line breaker. The close combat is resolved with the Chaos lord dealing 1 wound. The Mawloc smashes and the lord failed his invulnerable save. we don't roll for extra turns because its rather late and a lot of beer was drank.
Final score
Tyranids: 5 Points
Chaos Space Marines: 3 Points
