1250 points, Learning game (my first game as Chaos SM)
End Result - Rob sneaks a 6-5 Killpoint victory at the conclusion of Turn 6
Lesser Daemonettes killed 3 terminators
Beserkers ate up 2 squads
4 turn long combat between a Demon Prince with 3 wounds and a stupid Venerable Dreadnaught. No weapons and Immobilized, still headbutting me for 3 turns and not dying....
------------------------
Tyranids (Mike OB) versus Dark Angels (Ed)
1500 points - My typical Deathwing-heavy list minus the bikers against Mike's more experimental list
Scenery - Buddy's dinning room table, "fusion reactor" candle vases, banana barricades, paper plate craters, and plastic bowl/coffee cup hills
End Result - Dark Angel Victory, 6-4 Kill points in turn 7.
Lots of Marine shooting until the Nids could reach their weak* right flank . Deathwing mobile gun line FTW - By the end of the game the Angels had managed to swing their lines around and start falling back towards what was once their right flank... the Whirlwind actually made it to the end, falling back 6 inches every turn and firing direct.
On the other side of the table, the Tyranofex put a hurting on a squad of terminators and a combat squad of devastators. On top of that it (Mike can confirm - I think it was the Tyranofex) managed to get a shot into the second group of devastators that actually made them fail their check and fall back off the table.
The Dark Angel MVP of the game was actually that weak side 10-man tactical marine squad. They managed to stay tied up in combat for 2 rounds, repelling one squad of hormagaunts and tying up another along with two more squads of genestealers. However the Nids also used an ability to reduce their BS/WS to 1, making them much less effective to hold thereafter. Kudos to the whirlwind for thinning out at least one squad of those stealers before they hit into their battle brothers.
Not going down without a fight, and buying their comrades some time,
the last of the angels are encircled and consumed
*weak as it was the one side with less terminators
so glad you took those dirty nids down and without anyone witnessing his dirty cheating tactics. bras off to you.
