Tyranids
vs Eldar (and Orcs)
Dawn
of War, The Relic
In a repeat of the battle
faced by the Eldar on the same planet, this time the Eldar were the defenders
and this time the Tyranids had come to fight.
If full daylight, the
Monstrous Tyraind Turvigon stood the ground in-front of the Eldar firing
line. Against the odds, the focused Eldar firing was not able to bring her
down. She pushed forwards and spawned her only batch of Termagants
who garbed the Relic and retreated. The Tyrgon Prime rose from the
ground to shield the retreating Termagants doing the job but dying
quickly from the intense Eldar firing.
The Orks arrived to get their
revenge on the Eldar. Ork hoards appeared and used their firing to thin the
Eldar line. Most of the Eldar were too quick to allow themselves to be brought
into close combat, only one squadron of War Walkers didn't get
away.
With lack of clarity the Tyranid hive mind decided to play the Eldar opponent and
not concentrate on the Relic. The Devourgants arrived, taking out the Wave
Serpent carrying an Eldar troop, thinking to crack the shell to get at the soft
troops inside. However; this left the Devourgants out of position and out of
Synaptic Control for the rest of the game. The Dire Avengers went on to capture
the Relic and enter another Wave Serpent, sealing the win.
Not knowing quite what to
expect, the Tyranids had their first confrontation with the Eldar. Now they
have tasted the Eldar sting, the Tyranids will adapt and they will be back
ready for the next battle.
The unique Tyranid Doom of
Malan'tai had his third battle in the campaign but has
been consistent in being killed in every one. He will not be back
again this month.
