Day Fight
The Tyranids brought another new formation against the Eliminators standard 500.
Eliminator Warlord Trait again proved to be useful by slowing the reserves of the Tyranids.
Turn One. The Eliminators pushed onto the middle objectives and defended their back objectives. This mean that half their paratroopers had to start on the battlefield with only one unit held to deep strike. The Tyranid Deathleaper and Broodlord hid out of range at the back of their board waiting for the reserves.
Score E2-T0
Score E2-T0
Turn Two.
The Eliminators held their ground as they watched their the paratroopers float hopelessly off target toward the Tyranid Broodlord and his personal contingent of Genestealers. The Tyranids charged the paratroopers and slaughtered them all. Tyranid reserves all failed to arrive.
Score E4-T1 (First Blood)

Turn Three. The Eliminators held their ground, nothing to shoot at. Still holding the middle objectives. Some of the Tyranid reserves arrived - a small unit of genestealers and a Lictor. They aggressively targeted the marines holding the backfield objective.
Score E6-T1
Score E6-T1
Turn Four. The five Eliminator marines defending their back objective open fire on the Genestealers, two survived who assaulted with the Lictor. The last Tyranid arrived. A single Lictor who appeared near the Eliminator Scout Snipers defending their other back objective. Scout sergeant Wellard popped a wound into this Lictor who otherwise remained unharmed.
Score E8-T1
Score E8-T1
Turn Five. The Genestealers and Lictor finally took down the last marine and the solo Lictor took out the scouts to claim the back to objectives. Score E10-T5
Final Turn. The Tyranids kept possession of the back field objectives, reinforced by the Deathleaper. Score E12-T10 (Line Breaker)
Final Score Tyranids 10 - Eliminators 12
Eliminators Win
This was the final battle over the manufactorum.

3 for 3 Sandra? It's about time those Eliminators met the Eldar!
ReplyDeleteThe Eliminators are still learning the rules so if you want to do some teaching it will have to be with one of the Tyranid lists.
DeleteA tyranid list? That would give me nightmares for weeks. Maybe I'll wait until after the Eliminators have graduated!
