Hex Campaign - B3

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.

Eldar Win

Final Score 5 - 1 - 0
