Attack: Tyranids Vs Genestealer cult

The Genestealer cult (Darren) had just freed themselves from the corrupting grasp of the imperium only to find out that they had been tricked into destroying the planetary defenses by the tyranids (Joe).

Turn 1:
The genestealers of the cult started off very overconfident deploying behind enemy lines while the rest of the cultists/miners took defensive positions behind cover and killed both of the Swarm lords Tyrant Guard, on the other side of the jungle the Tyranids lined up and initiated a full on assault.

Turn 2:
With the genestealers dead the Termagants ran forwards and started having a shoot off with the Neophytes as the Trygon Prime exploded from the ground next to the entire force of the cult along with the portable drill.

Turn 3:
The Termagants and the Neophytes had a devastating exchange with both sides loosing plenty of men, as this was happening the cults magus and bodyguard detachment of Acolytes and Neophytes ambushed a second squad of Termagants, as that was taking place the maleceptor destroyed the minds of the crew controlling the rapid fire mining laser and the Trygon Prime with help from the Swarm Lord killed the Portable drill and its crew.

Turn 4:
The Trygon Prime was killed along with the neophytes fighting the Termagants, Carnifex and the Toxocrine while the Cults Scions were killed by the Swarm Lord and the Tyrannocyte.

Additional:
  • The Broodlord brought down the Carnifex to 1 W on turn one and was never attacked again.
  • There was a mawloc but he missed twice before giving up and going for an objective.
  • The Trygon Prime brought the Reaper of Obliterax.
  • The maleceptor almost destroyed a vehicle.
  • The Tyrant Guard had upgrades.
Tyranid Victory
Mission: Deep Jungle
Points: 1850+ Handicaps (Tyranids using the Walkers handicaps)

  1. Very close battle, Genestealer Cult summoning making up for their poor choice of a major assault on turn one when they had not won the initiative.
