Losers Final

Grey Knights v Tyranids

The Grey Knights only had two units, both were troops of Purifiers with four incinerator flamers, each with a special psychic character. Tyranids had seven small units. 

Early game the Grey Knights shot the Tyranid Lictor for first blood. The Tyranid Hormagaunts, Genestealers and Raveners all assulted one of the Grey Knight Purifier units. The Hormagaunts all dying to over-watch on the way in. The Raveners all dying to Deamon Hammers. This Grey Knight Purifier squad were not even down to half strength after finishing off the Genestealers. 

The other squad of Purifiers took more shooting from the Tyranids, weakening them before an assault attempt. Tyranid Warriors got in, the Tenacity of the Tyranid Prime Warlord leading the charge. The Termagants could quite reach the Purifiers that turn. This combat fell in favor of the Tyranids. The Grey Knight Sargent falling to a challenge with the warlord. 

At the end of turn five this left the Tyrainds with two weaker objectives and the Grey Knights with the primary. Both had two secondary objectives. So Tyranids were winning 6v5. 
The game continued on to turn six.

From the Grey Knights vantage point they could hold the main objective and shoot the Tyranids off one of the secondary, which they just manage to do. Grey Knights are winning at the end of turn six 5v4.
The game continued on to turn seven.

The Tyranids were able to retake the objective they had been shot off previously, but only with half a dozen Termagaunts. So although they were back up to a score of 6v5 it was unlikely to be held. The Tyraind Warlord decided to make another charge, using his Tenacity trait again. If he could hold the Purifiers in combat for one turn, they would not be able to shoot the Termagaunts off their objective. However; luck was not in his favor and he was hit four times in over-watch AND didn't make a single save (even with Feel No Pain). This left the Grey Knight free to shoot at the Termagants and once again they kill them off the objective.Game Over.
