Hello Folks,
First Battle Report of the year! Time for the new Tyranids to strike up and eat sone stuff. Facing Space Marines this time, and went for the First Contact mission from the battle book.
Center of each 24" square is an objective, marine units deoy in random squares tyranids come in from the edges of random squares and have lunch. Most objectives wins.
Here we are after First Tyranid move when everything is on. Immedatly shot down the land speeder, suffer not the skimmer. Few assaults good times all around.
Marines carefully lining up devastators on the hive tyrat. Lascannons roll 1s to hit, missiles 1s to wound. Haha.
End of Marines turn, it's going ok for them. Chaplain and assault Marines grinding diwn the raveners but getting killed, librarian and he's pals fighting loads of gaunts could be worse
My turn, things get worse. Zonathrope connects a warp blast on the devs, devastating them. Hive tyrant comes into the fight and starts wrecking shit, bikes get eaten, not a good time to be semi-human.
But thing look better, the dread roasts mu leapers, termagaunts flee, some assault assault Marines survive the chaplain slaughter and get away.
Barbgaunts, aka warriors with venom cannons shake the dread, other battles continue.
Carnifex eats those assault Marines, stuff gets on objectives. My rippers on 1, Scouts on 1, librarian fighting the brain gau ts on 1, warriors trying to get 1 and keep the dread away. Can't kill him, but managed to blow up his punchy arm.
Dread blasts some barb guys but can't charge. Librarian and the brain guys still fighting so that's contested. Ends 2-1 fir the good guys (Tyranids) better luck next time humanity!
Very fun game, maybe not very balanced scenario but who cares!
Thanks;
Mike
