We agreed on 200o points for each side and formed two teams. The Orks would be led by Flattervieh and Elrond while the Tyranids were under the command of Rekrom and me. We used one FOC for each side and since both Elrond’s and my forces aren’t that big yet our share in the armies were not that considerable.
Still new to us was the Maelstrom of War mission we agreed on and the tactical objectives we would be getting during the game.
Two hive fleets combined.
The Orks teamed up aswell.
Without much hesitation we (the Tyranid players) decided that there was just one way for us – forward!
Hive Fleet Kelpia on the loose.
The Tyranid’s Star Player – the Dimachaeron.
Invasion of the Genestealers.
The freshly painted Lictor went all in and tried to blow up a tank. Unfortunately he only caused a glancing hit (which was later repaired anyway) and got shot down by Elrond’s Orks the next turn.
The Orks took down a lot of Tyranids in their shooting phase.
Some aerial combat was going on aswell.
The Orks were really tough that day and showed the Genestealers how a successful close combat is supposed to look like.
Elrond’s Kommandos showed up.
Just like Flattervieh’s new Meganobz.
The Starplayer couldn’t save the day for the Tyranids…
Thanks for the funny event guys! Fortunately winning wasn’t so very important that day as the tactical objects Rekrom and me got were most of the time quite silly. We were told to destroy the Orks’ fortifications f.e. … yea, sure thing. An interesting game nevertheless.
