Points 3,000 vs 3,000
Mission: Tactical Gambit (Chapter Approved 2017)
Planet: Valedor is a planet outside of the Hex Campaign area.
Moment of the match.
A Drukhari Archon, four Harliquin Troupe masters and five Wyches are within charging distance of a Tyranid unit with the equivalent of 4 flamers (12 average overwatch hits), Str 4 = 8 average wounds vs T3
Wyches charge (6+ save) = 5 dead Wyches
Troupe Master one charges (4+ save) = had to save against an above average volume of wounds and died.
Troupe Master two charges (4+ save) = had to save against 8 wounds so on average should have made it. However; even with a command point re-roll they still died.
Next Troupe Master asks the Archon out his chances of getting in with a charge.
The Archon casually mentions his 2++, charges and gets in without taking any damage.
Match Summary
With 6,000 points 'on the table' this played like an apocalypse game, minus the Lords of War. So time ran short and the game had to be finished before the end. Speaking as an unbiased Tyranid player, I feel that, with the balance of game play, sufficient Yannari would have been digested to satisfy the Tyranid hunger, for now.
