35k Apoc Game Nom Nom Nom!

[Evan Quinn]

Evening Hive. Another win for us 3 6k Tyranid Players merge to tare it up against some very tasty looking Dark Angels.




Started off quiet with very little happening. We had first turn, pretty much where dancing on the toes of all the marines turn one but couldn't assault! gha! but we got into location and then the the Terminators started dropping. With over 100 terminators on the tables by the end of turn one it was our time to release the Gene stealer waves (130 Genes). gone where the terminators! and then BOOM! Death from above 65 Gene stealers go Poof with a orbital bombardment. By the end of turn 3. We had lost maybe 2-3k worth of tyranids and consumed 14k worth of Dark Angels. about 1.4k worth of gaunts spawned between 8 Tervigons

Termies never had a chance hehe...



The end result being this:
ATTENTION IMPERIAL CITIZENS: The world of Sanctum Prime has fallen to the Xenos threat! Fleet forces are currently withdrawing with what is left of the Dark Angel strike force with less than 100 souls having left the soil of Sanctum Prime. Let us take a moment to honor the sacrifice made by the valiant marines on this woeful day.

1st Company: 51 slain including Company Master Belial
2nd Company: 13 slain including including Company Master Sammael and 2 Land Speeders
5th Company: 95 slain including Company Master Balthasar
9th Company: 87 slain including Interrogator Chaplain Jacobbus

Support Forces: 13 Ancient Dreadnoughts, Head Librarian Ezekiel, 13 Rhino Personnel Carriers, 2 Land Raider Crusaders, and 2 full units of Techmarines assigned by the Mechanicus.

The Emperor Protects.(Ya right Muwahahahahahahaha Nom Nom Nom!)

All in a All a great Apoc game sending the Dark Angel Chapter back into disarray for quiet some time to come hehe...

Enjoy! More Power to the Hive!

How'd the Hierophant do? And did the DA not roll any supa heavy?

[Evan Quinn]

@60mm - He rolls by the chapter list so No Supa Heavys. Hierophant did 850 points worth of damage (too much stuff in cc) in the end he was poping two random tanks / dreads, per turn. He took one wound turn one and regened turn 2 took maybe 50 attacks between all the shooting and only 1 wound DA didnt focus on it. Wish I had had the space to move him about instead he was more of a large target that didnt really get in the way.. they pretty much turtled the fight which only made it easier for nids.

Heehee, nice! Your swarm looks amazing on the tabletop.

Do you have any more pictures? How long did the game take?

[Evan Quinn]

Sadly no more pictures for this battle but hoping for another large game in January. 4-5 hour game DA ran end of turn 3 to get air lifted and request a Exterminatus on the planet! I'll make a proper battle report next time

Hey is that a converted nid drop pod in the second picture?
What is it converted from?

Sounds like it was a fun event, thanks for posting.

[boomerz]

yes, it's converted from a space marine drop pod using the tendrils from venomthropes, warrior head crests, a leaf sprue from fantasy and a ton of texture paint
