Eliminators vs Tyranids Battle Six

Space Marines (Sandra) vs Tyranids (Joe)

Points: 750 (Eliminators +100)
Mission: Capture and Control

Deployment: Hammer and Anvil
Long Night 

Both sides utilized the same forces as in mission five, with the Space Marines gaining two more marine reinforcements, one with a missile launcher (handicap).

Eliminators started strong, securing the middle objectives from turn one. 

Tyranids were slow to get any momentum. Their feared Turvigon only producing one brood of Termagants. 

Eliminator reinforcements deep struck to protect the middle ground, a difficult decision as they had to forgo taking an open back field Tyranid objectives. 

Tyranids manage to Pin the in-coming Assault Terminators, giving them enough time to push forward to slay the Eliminators warlord (first unit killed in the battle) and take one if the middle objectives.

The Eliminators were unable to inflict sufficient damage to slow the Tyranid advance and were quickly overwhelmed. Two units broke morale and ran.
