For the final round I get to play our own West Rider for the top spot. We both where happy as either way we get 1st or 2nd.I drank like 4 soda during the game as my mind was dead. I was so happy he beat his last opponent Eldar. I was not wanting to face them after facing Necrons earlier.
West Rider feel free to chime in on this as my mind is my mind. LoL
We are playing on this table.
After setting where the area terian was we placed objectives and I got to pick the side I wanted. He won the roll to see who went first.
He places the his whirl wind out of site and a pred where it can see everything in my deployment area.
This is the game that Trapdoor spider came to mind. I bubble rapped my units with the gaunts and had the venom right in the middle giving me a 3+ cover-save for most of my stuff. I placed the crone off by itself in area terian. Kind of as bait and I didn't have a really good place to put it with the rest of the group.
Wolves Turn 1: West drops a unit of termes in the middle of the board. He then drops his HQ unit above my bubble rap real close. He drops the murder claw center of the board and unit of gray hunters at my rear that scattered close to my crone. His HQ has ignore cover rule and targets my venom in the pyhc phase killing it. I denied a power and he got the rest off. Shooting he put two wounds on my warlord and kills some gaunts with the whorle wind. He then goes after the crone with the pred and gray hunters doing 3 wounds.
Nids turn 1: I move one tyrant above his HQ unit. I spawn some 12 gaunts to fill the hole he made in shooting my gaunts. I move the warlord past the muderfang and get a one for the movement of the gaunts that pretty made moving anything else impossible. The crone moves forward and whiffs vs the muderfang.
Powers where uneventful.
Shooting. The hive guard killed the the muderfang with one of the fexs help. The other fex and gaunts I think killed the large gray hunter unit in my rear( Really bad dice on west part I was shocked when he said all of them.)
My warlord killed one or two termes. My other tyrant with the help of the newly spawned gaunts killed the HQ unit. This left just the tanks drop pods and the term's on the table.
Wolves turn 2: All of his reserves come in. The stormwolf moves up the center next to my warlord.he drops another pod in the center and another a little south of it. The lone wolf drops behind my lines but scatters like 10in away right next to the table edge. The term's move back to hold a objective. Stormwolf kills my warlord. Some shooting from the tanks take out one of my hive guard and kills a lot of gaunts the lone wolf advances toward my back lines with the tervagon and exocrine waiting.
Nids turn 2: I move my remaining tyrant and the crone after the stormwolf. I draw back from his unt if gray hunter n the middle of the board and setup a charge on the drop pod for the tervagon. I spawn one more unit of guants and double out. These go to screen her off from the lone wolf. My raveners came in the mishaped again back in to reserves.
Shooting had me kill the lone wolf and the unit in side of it. The hive guard put a hull point on one of the drop pods. The one of the fexs kill the small 5 man squad that dropped. The other fex and the large gaunt squad focsed on the 10 man gray hunter unit in the middle killing 3 or 4 of them. The exocrine shoots the lone wolf and can't get a wound pass it 3++ save.
Wolves turn 3: The lone wolf advances. The gray hunter squad advance toward the large gaunt unit. Shooting from the tanks puts two wounds on one of the fexs and kills it I think and a few more gaunts. The lone wolf makes his charge in to the exocrine and does like two wounds to it and none back. The gray hunter charge the gaunts and kill sevral and lose only one hunter in return. I belive he also killed the crone.
Nids turn 3: Raveners come in and land behind the term's. Fly the tyrant over to help out. The fex moves to help the gaunts. Gaunts move to help out the exocrine.
Shooting from the raveners and the tyrant kill the term's. The gaunts wound the lone wolf and the exocrine take another wound. The hunter kill of the rest of the large gaunt squad and get taken out by the fex.
Wolves turn 4: The pred and whirle wind go after the raveners killing two. While the drop pods take pot shots at different things. The exocrine dies and the gaunts can't hurt the lone wolf.
Nids turn 4: The raveners go after the pred and reack it. The tyrant and fex start trying to kill drop pods near objectives wth shooting. I forgot to assualt. The lone wolf contenuies to kill gaunts with no harm to him.
Wolves turn 5: The whirl wind goes after the raveners again and scatters way off. The lone wolf golf punts a couple more gaunts.
Nids turn 5: The raveners pass leadership and go after the whirl wind. The tyrant and fex kill a couple more drop pods. The guants finally kill the lone wolf. The raveners kill the whirl wind.
This leaves us with just one Drop pod left on the table.
We call the game there. It was a great game. I was worried about his alpha strike. He also know Tyranids well . I was very worried he would just pick me apart. I hope I get to have a rematch in the future with him.
I will have a unit annalists in a day or two.
