Dark Eldar vs Tyranids - The Web-Way Portal Campaign

Dark Eldar VS Tyranids

The Web-Way Portal Campaign

*Mission One : Serendipity

The Dark Eldar have presented opportunities to their Eldar brothers,

to assist with the desperate times.

Deals with the Dark Eldar have a high price, one that is usually hidden.

However; this mission was one that was not part of that particular plan

But it will have far reaching consequences...

Points: 750

Mission: Random

The Winner automatically gains first turn in Mission Two, should they wish.

The Looser gains sufficient experience for an addition 50 points in Mission Two.

*Mission Two : Capture

The Dark Eldar have seen potential in the Tyranids.

They would be the talk of the gladiatorial arenas 

plus there are many other, even more, interesting applications.

All that is needed is to capture one...

To Capture a Tyranid units the Dark Eldar must :

survive one round of close combat

with a number of models still alive dependent on the Tyranids size:

 1 per Small Tyranid in the unit

 2 per Tyranid in the unit with the Bulky rule

 4 per Tyranid with with the Very Bulky rule

 8 per Monstrous Creature Tyranid

16 per Gargantuan Tyranid

This size category also applies to the Dark Eldar 

Eg Bulky count as two models for capture purposes, Very Bulky as four Etc.

Eg To capture a unit of two (Small) Genestealers needs two Dark Eldar

If that same unit also had a (Bulky) Broodlord it would need four Dark Eldar 

    or one Very Bulky Dark Eldar model.

Also for every wound taken by a multi-wound Tyranid model the number of Dark Eldar required is reduced by one. 

Eg To Capture a single (Very Bulky) Tyranid Lictor, reduced from three wounds down to one would require two Dark Eldar Models instead of the usual four.

The Dark Eldar score an addition D3 VP for the first Tyranid captured.

On the other hand however;

The Dark Eldar have arrived via a Web-way Portal.

To expedite a retreat they leave the portal open!

Should the Tyranids be in control of the portal when the battle ends, they gain D3 VP.

Additional VP for Slay the Warlord, Line Breaker and First Blood.

Deployment: Dawn of War

*Mission Three : ???

The Final mission in the Web-Way Campaign is dependent on the outcome of Mission Two,
