Anywho
2nd Game
VS: Shawn
Army: Tyranids
Mission: Take and Hold. Must have more scoring units 12" from the center of the table. All of our units, besides our leaders, would count as scoring units.
Shawn won turn roll. I was in a good and bad position. Good news: I'll get WBB rolls almost instantly. Bad news: I would also be in assault on turn 1 if he was lucky. He was lucky.
Turn 1
The infiltrating Broodlord and his 10 genestealer retinue ran through the ruins towards my 10 squad of warriors. His gaunts ran towards my other squad of 10. Carnifex shot at my destroyers. Missed. Yay!...his broodlord and stealers assaulted my squad. Massacre from power weapon hits and rending. :*( They retreated in cover for saves. Gaunts were just 1/2 an inch away from my squad. Literally, 1/2 of an inch.
My only squad of warriors left shot the hell out of the damned dogs. [The missing 2 squads were with my deepstriking monolith. Will post an afterthought about this game at the bottom.] The destroyers killed 1/2 of a spinefist gaunt squad. Heavy destroyer actually did something by causing a wound on the fex. My wraiths and wraithlord were going to be able to assault the Zoe next turn and maybe kill synapse for him. : D
Turn 2
His shooting was pityful again. The fex did NOTHING. But nids usually has no shooting. Assault within 30 seconds. The gaunts began to tear thru my 2nd squad of warriors. My lord was not attached to the squad...[afterthought]. Many saves, only one failed. For those that don't know about gaunts, they get about 40 attacks on the charge. Which they did. But only 5 wounds. And only 1 failed armour save. : D
My WBB roll failed??? yeah, one warrior died. But my deepstriking monolith didn't arrive as well?????? DAMNIT! My Heavy destroyer caused another wound on the fex, as one of my 2 destroyer squads finished it off. The other squad began to shoot at the broodlord and his retinue. Killed about 2 stealers. His rolls sucked this time. Good for me. Assault. My wraiths and lord did one wound on the zoe. Yes, a whole wound. With 16 attacks, one wound. My lord and tomb spyder (who had pooped 2 scarabs but had diarrhea and took one wound in the process) assisted the doomed warriors. Lord and spyder killed a few things, but he got the spyder. Warriors were alive though. Yay. Stealers would be assaulting next turn.
Turn 3
He had no shooting. Assault. Stealers ran in, and by stealers, i mean his two other squads. What's that? 50 attacks with rending???...I have a rez. orb. I NEEDED THAT REZ ORB. My warriors died. Completely. So no WBB, even with that rez orb. :*( They all proceeded to gang up on my lord. Who killed 2. But no more attacks on him. The Destroyers behind him were being eyed thou...
Monolith still hasn't shown up, rolled ANOTHER one for the deep strike. 20 warriors are waiting for it. Shooting. Destroyers began to back up the assaulted lord, killing 4 more stealers. But there was no retreat for them. My wraiths killed the Zoe and assaulted the spine fists. Which they mauled and charged into the next zoe, wounded already from the Heavy Destroyer. My troop lord took a wound from a stealer squad. The other stealer squad killed the destroyer squad and smashed into the next one.
Turn 4
The Assault phase was the only phase. My wraiths cut down the remaining zoe and charged the approaching Hive Tyrant and his hive guard. The stealers cut down the remaining destroyer squad. My lord took one more wound, killed some stealers, then died from a gaunt. My wraith lord died from the Tyrant.
My Turn. MONOLITH ARRIVES! Dumps a squad of warrior which rapid fire a squad of 5 tyranid warriors to just one left. The 'lith finished up the broodlord's retinue. Assault. Phylactery = WBB roll 4. Lord stands up with one wound. 5 = 2 wounds, 6 = 3 wounds. Upon which i rolled a 6! *The organizer was watching the battle at this point, and began to sing "I get knocked down, but i get up again..."* My wraiths began to kill tyrant guards. And my lord died without inflicting one wound. Stealers began to stomp upon the robotic corpse.
Turn 5
Phase out limit = 13. I have 18 models left. He charges his remaining warrior and the free gaunt squad (who were gangbanging my troop lord) into my warrior squad that just arrived from the lith. The stealers kept on the mosh pit.
Lord goes for WBB. The mosh pit prevented it, with a roll of 3. My other squad of 10 warriors arrive and do 2 wounds to the broodlord. Two warriors go down from the warrior and gaunts.The wraiths kill another hive guard and reduce his squad to a non-scoring unit. The heavy destroyer is also dead, thx to assaulted stealers from his turn [forgot to mention...:*(].
Turn 6
Broodlord assaults my warrior squad. 4 power weapon hits. No wbb rolls, plus my heavy died and lord. PHASE OUT.
Summary: Was amazing game. had a blast and lost. : D
After thought: Pictures will be posted later.
Monolith. Troop Lord. Both could have been used in a better niche.
Monolith - deepstriking it and 20 warriors. Was either a game winner or loser. If it had arrived on turn 2, Shawn would have had NO chance of victory. But not the case.
Troop Lord - forgot to attach to squad and deny the gaunts the +1 attack bonus. :*(
