Battle Report: Blood Angels vs Tyranids (1750)

[coredump]

Oh, and we like reading them. I just don't want you to think they are unappreciated.

Another great report, thanks for posting!

The few rules errors I noticed have already been mentioned.

I don't think I've remembered HoW on my MCs even a single time yet in 7 games with 2+ MCs!

Great report. Could someone please tell me what page the ruling is for Vehicles not getting overwatch?

See p.76: "Vehicles and Overwatch"

Halos, I'm gonna have to agree with everyone else, your reports are great. I like the "flavor" descriptions of what's going on between the actions. Your storytelling makes your Batreps much more enjoyable and less text-bookish.

Thanks!

Great battle report. I work at a Scout Camp over the summer, so I've been unable to play a single game of 6th. Plus, there's basically no internet out here, so having a nice narrative that is enjoyable to read and also quite informative is a huge boon to me.

I've read a few of your reports, and hope you never stop writing them.

[halos]

Well thank you very much, I shall certainly endeavour to keep writing them as often as I'm able, although I think promising to 'never stop' may be a tad unreasonable : )

I will possiblybe able to get in a game tomorrow, and thus have a fresh report to write up, but no promises.

So entertaining, thanks alot!

You're welcome.

I did manage to grab a game yesterday but it was, once again, versus Blood Angels and played out pretty similarly to this one. So I'll just throw some highlights in here instead of doing an entire new, nigh identical, report.

-Blood Angels list was similar, albeit with less Mech. Still featured the bruiser unit in a Stormraven although this time Death Company + Lemartes instead of Terminators.

-This time almost all the objectives were booby trapped! I had to use T6 Tervigons to claim them rather than squishy gants.

-Precision Shots from the Hive Tyrant are nice; lets you kill Meltas/Missiles/whatever a bit easier.

-Saw the first use of the Wall of Flame ability when the Ymgarls charged a Rhino and got set ablaze for their troubles, and then again when they charged the disembarked squad. Nasty stuff.

-Enfeeble remains hilarious, stacked twice on the Death Company who had just waltzed through the Hive Guard ensured that Devourers shots wounded on 2s and denied FnP. Lemartes was insta-killed by a single Fleshborer.

That is pure gold. But it might be FAQd to not stack.
