BloodAngels (undead) vs. Tyranids





Here is the playing field:



Special Penny-Arcade rules!

On turn 3, there will be two orbital bombardments chosen by the forumers!

THE FIRST person to post:

"Orbital strike on (Chose a Tyranid model to center it on--ie: "Middle Genestealer on north end of table". Will be able to affect the game!

The FIRST person to post:

"Orbital strike on (Choose a Blood Angels model to center it on) Will be able to call down a strike as well.

(Choose which kind of Orbital Strike in both cases--Demonhunters codex)

That's one orbital bombardment per side!


ALSO, the pengquins in the icy lake an be assaulted for a massacre result, this is the Social Entropy ++ special rule.

AWESOME

Oh sweet!

I must get the orbital strike on the Blood Angles. I've already picked the target and strike type..

edit - has that land speeder been modded? It looks like it could transport some marines.

Okay, and no one can do it until I post "THIRD ROUND START!"


Yeah that's what the landspeeder does with VDR rules...also assault cannons. But, this round he's using it as regular landspeeders.

OKay turn 1 is done!



I lost a wound on a carnifex and lost four genestealers in the woods to a landspeeder.

I advanced:



I shot his transport and forced his dudes to get out with my venom cannon, bsler!




Fancy tank moves abound!



The Death Company flies forward!

SUPERSUGA

Cool stuff

trentsteel

Turn TWO!

I lost a Carnifex to damn Assault cannon fire and Im basically surrounded.




He got lucky and deep struck his damn assasin right next to my biovores, which he previously moved out of cover with that special callidus or whatever ability at the beginning of the game.



I assault his bunker with my shockafex and then charge in the hole with my genestealers, losing three and only making ONE FUCKING REND OUT OF TWENTY DICE! I only kill two spacemarines and then consolidate.



Here's my pic of my other shockfex with two Twin-linked devourers moving in on the death compan but still not inflicting enough damage because of damn space marine armor saves!

Here's John Madden:

This is a brilliant idea. Holy crap.

I want a webcam on this, stat!

That tyranid army sucks. However, Blood Angels also suck (though not as bad as Dark Angels). I'm going to go with tyrnaids because they are my homies.

trentsteel

OKAY TURN THREE! POST YOUR ORBITAL BOMBARDMENTS!

Oh, there's a brooldlord with his retinue in the middle there.

Draug

Man, those Deathguard are going to be raped so badly. Question is if they buy enough time for their buddies to hand out an extra volley or not.

Orbital strike on the Bunker-Assaulting Genestealer closest to the marines! Whatever hurts heavy infantry the most!

EDIT:

Anime Owns

Melta torpedo on the Land Raider!

edit - shit, maybe I should go for the Death Company..
edit2 - ok, I flipped a coin and got the melta torpedo/land raider. So there.

Utsanomiko

For a four corners mission that's a really cramped deployment. I'm not sure that table is even 30" wide, though, so it's probably going to be all CC from here on out.

Gaddez

Lance strike on broodlord!

Draug

Looks like a very vehicle-heavy game on the marine side, btw. All those tanks are gonna be tough to bring down with Tyranids. Good luck.

It's 50" wide.

trentsteel

Draug:

Okay, so the genestealers just died in the bunker to the Assault Marines so I will default to the Broodlord's Genestealers.


Gigglio:

ANd also we will hit the LandRaider with the Melta-Torpedo!

Draug

Then just target whatever Tyranid unit is closest to the enemy, if Space Marines are within scatter range. If not, target the least significant Tyranid unit (least casualties, least point loss).

Tell me you rolled, like, +12 for the penetration.

That is, 8 + 2d6 armor pen.

Fine, I'm not sure it's even 30" long, then. :P

Lol it's 100" long

We're talking inches here, right?

Okay, here's how the OB's went:

Orbital strike on the Tyranids....




But, it deviated a few inhces north east and only killed one genestealer in the end! HOOORAY!




The landraider, whoever, was horribly penetrated, lost a weapon and it's crew was stunned:






My dead Tyranid watch from the sidelines:

Anime Owns

I was totally trying to snipe the assault cannon. :P

trentsteel

Okay Turn Three:


The Librarian guys get out and attempt to charge into cover but only get a result of 1"! He knows he's genestealer meat now!




His Death Company assaults my shockafex and my warriors, slaughtering them to a man before they even get to strike back! Bastards!





MY TURN!


I charge the Deatch company with My hive Tyrant and everything else in the area.

In the north I charge the librarians with my genestealers, charge the assault marines with my feeder tendril genestealers (to give the shockafex a 3+ to hit.

Here are the resulting shit shows!







And here are the number of dice I get to use with my Scything Talon, fleshooked genestealers!



So many rends, but I fuck up and forget to designate the librarian dude with some of them, so I only kill the squad.





The results of both Shitshows!







ANd here's Madden with the final report:

trentsteel

Okay. It is done. Here's the last three turns in one post:

My hive tyrant and gunfex beat up the last of the death company and some random marines and then one runs in fear and I chase it down.




My broodlord, some genestealers and my shockafex rush a tank and a landspeeder and blow them up. Four genestealers and some marines die in the resulting explosions.




Broodlord chases down the meat that comes out from inside the tank on my turn:



My Hive Tyrant and Carnifex kill the last marine and then have one chance to kill the Land Raider before it scores my zone:




My rippers tear ass and kill the Assasin!



Hot undead chicks watch and laugh as lascannons tear apart my remaining monstrous creatures and I lose two in one turn. Also, My HIve Tyrant is down to one wound and no longer scoring



My Hive Tyrant and my Carnifex are my last hope to get the undead out of the forest! My hive Tyrant flies over and fails horribly to penetrate. My Gunfex lands one hit and immobilizes the Land Raider, but it's too late. I don't have any scoring units in my zone and I only scored one of the side ones:




Here's the last turn:



Here is my opponent, laughing at me:








Dammit I lost. He took my home zone and I only scored a side quarter worth half the points.


YOUTUBE video forthcoming:

Ouch. Okay I've been hit with the Sega Genesis, but Youtube is taking forever to do whatever it does before we can see the video. I will post the link once it's ready.

Master Shake

cool

Omnicron9999

This was pretty awesome, if and when the video gets posted, this might be archive material.

trentsteel

Dammit, I've uploaded the video but for some reason there's only sound.


I'll have to try again here.

AcidSerra

You may have to refilm it. =P

Whiniest Man On Earth

Awesome thread, though the pictures could use a bit more macro focus for next time!

Technicality

Good readin :^:

Really nice battle report. More of the same please.

Omnicron9999

Any more news on the YouTube video?

For some reason the idea of being hit with a Genesis sounds amazing to me...

EDIT: Well not me being hit...watching someone else...

Gaddez

Is there a link to the you tube film?
