Alright everyone heres the list i ran against dark angels @ 1000pts.
It took so long to get up as we both had to cancel for quite a few consecutive weeks lol.
My list was as follows.
Hive tyrant 2x scything talons, regen.
Powers i rolled were; leech life and enfeable.
2x hive guard
1x lictor
7 genestealers, 1 brood lord scything talons and adrenal glands
powers; leech life and warp speed (i only realised once we started playing the brood lord couldnt use leech life so not sure if i should have rerolled this power?)
16 hormgaunts, toxin sacs
14 termigants
trygon prime, regen
His list was
Commander in land speeder (cant remember his name had armour 14 front and sides)
1 assault terminator squad
1 5xman tac squad with missile launcher
1 5xman tac squad with melta gun
1 tac squad in razor back with twin link heavy bolters.
We rolled for a purge the alien mission.
The battlefield was a ruined imperial guard vangaurd line, plenty of tank hulks ruins and burnt out forests and 2 swamps. No cover gave more than a 5+ cover save all terrain pieces were classed as difficult.
I lost the initial role of and deployed first. I had my tyrant and hive guard in the centre gaunts on the left and gants on the right.
Opponent deployed with land speeder and razor back close together just of the centre line to the right behing some cover. His m/l tac squad were deployed in the centre in a tree line. The bike squad and terminator squad were deployed on the right (his left) almost in the corner.
He attempted to steal the initatve and failed.
I pushed all my forces forward 6 putting my hq and gants just behind cover. On the left the gaunts went of towards the flank about a 45° angle.
Shooting only thehive guad were in range of the 5 man m/l tac squad 2 hits 2 wounds and he failed one saving throw. Only the missile launcher was in range and being the closest he had to go.
No assaults so DA turn 1
He started off moving the 4 man tac squad towards the flank with the gaunts. The land speeder repositioned to get good los on the hive tyrant. The bikes terminators and 5 man tac squad all pushed forward.
Shooting the 4 man tac squad took out 3 gaunts the other tac squad took out 2 gants. The bikes missed and the land speeder hit with all heavy bolter and assault cannon shots (twin linked hitting on 2s) but only managed a single wound on the tyrant.
Turn 2
I rolled for reserves and got the lictor and stealers and rolled a 6 for the hive tyrants wound
The lictor deployed in some debris 6" infront of the guants and the stealers arrived on the left flank much to my disapointment. The rest of my force pushed forward as quick as possible with the hive tyrant casting enfeeble on the landspeeder.
Shooting seen the gants push forward to the front edge of the difficult terrain and the lictor run to the edge of the cover it arrived in. I forgot about the stealers. The hive guard fired at the land speeder and rolled 2 1s and 2 2s much to my disapontment.
DA turn 2
The 4 man tac squad moved within 12 of the guants and lictor. The land speeder didnt want to risk rolling a 1 for difficult terrain if it moved the bikes and terminators moved to assaulting positions.
Shooting the tac squad rapid fired on the gaunts taking out 4. The land speeder caused 6 wounds on the tyrant and the bike squad took out 6 of the gants ( 2 flamers dis the majority lol) they were within 12" of the tyrant still so no need to roll. The teminators failed there assault charge and the bikes fired with a bolter so as we were both unsure on the rules with rapid fire weapons and bikes he didnt assault.
Nid turn 3
On comes the trygon with popped up next to the tac squad behind the terminators and to the side of the razor back. The tyrant got another 6 for his regen rolls. The gaunts pushed up to get a good chance of makin the assault on the for man tac squad (through a marsh) along with the lictor who went around the marsh. The gants moved out of cover to ensure a terrain free assault on the terminators. The hive tyrant and guard moved towards the land speeder leaving them in the open. I cast enfeeble on the land speeder again.
Shooting the gaunts didnt cause a single wound on the marines. The lictors flesh hooks did kill 1 however
The hive guard missed the land speeder again. The trygon killed a single marine from the 5 man tac squad.
Assaults, the guants failed to make it into combat with the marines and lost another to over watch. The lictor reached the marines with ease as did the gants into the terminators. The lictor killed 2 marines and and lost a wound he then hit and run back into the cover he came from with a roll of 13. The gants killed a terminator and they in turn killed 4.
DA turn 3. The landspeeder moved taking the risk and folled a 4 so was ok. The bikes held and the tac squad got ready to charge the trygon. Shooting the speeder fired into the gaunts and brought them done to 4 the marines fired bolt pistols into the trygon and the melta gun causing a wound.
The terminators killed the remaining gaunts and recieved no casulties and consolidated back towards the trygon. The tac squad had moved to 12" away from the gaunts and rapid fired on them and killed them down to a single xeno. The tac squad that charged the trygon recived no casulties from over watch and caused a wound. The trygon killed 3 marines with the remaining holding fast.
Nid turn 4
I moved my stealers and lictor into assault positions on the tac squad and the tyrant into position to assault the bikes.
Shooting seen no casulties what so ever and i commenced the assault phase. The lictor took out the final marine and the ttyrant killed all 3 bikes consolidating forward 6.The trygon killed the remaining marine and consolidated toward the razorback.
The next 2 turns seen me reduce his force down to a single marine (from the razor back) was a really enjoyable game with some great rolls from myself including a double 6 whilst in combat with the assault terminators.
Thanks for the advice on helping with the list. It really ran smoothly for myself. With the exception of the stealers flanking on the wrong side 1/3 chance of it happening)
