Big Guns Never Tire - F8

Dark Angels vs. Tyranids




Once again, the insect horde has attempted to increase its grip on the galaxy - only to be frustrated by the fanatical determination of the Dark Angels.

A large Tyranid force - led by a monstrous Lord of War and swarms of lesser unspeakable bugs - sought to overwhelm an entrenched Astartes force. An heroic deathwing assault by a terminator force was able to slow up the Tyranid advance, but with two tanks destroyed and the terminators succumbing to overwhelming numbers, the future for the Dark Angels looked bleak. That is, until the intervention of the Ravenwing's Fire Raptor...

After several turns of carnage, the Raptor was eventually brought down - but not until the Tyranid's leaders had been slain or put to flight. In the end, a close fought encounter ended with the Dark Angels victorious - but the insect menace remains.

Dark Angels 9 (6 objective points, slay the warlord, line-breaker, 1 point for causing 3 wounds to Lord of War), Tyranids 6 (3 objective points, line-breaker, 2 points for the destruction of 2 heavy units)
