Exterminatus extremis.
Is it just me or did the bio titan and the dominatrix won the battle almost single handedly? 
That said, I think that the SM player took too many support cards, especially against Tyranids. He could have bought a whole bike company plus two more dets of Whirlwinds with the price of the Predators, Dreads, terminators and the single bike detachment. The bike co. could then have roared through the Tyranid line like the Squat Biker Guild did in the last battle report and ease the pressure on the front lines while two extra barrage templates could've done wonders against the gaunts.
Great battle.

Mojarn is right, even though the whirlwinds were hardly mentioned, I assume they were doing a great job. The good ole Devs seem to be the heroes, yet another planet lost to the bugs, sigh. Keep up the good work 'P'

Hi!
It was my friends first time against the tyranids, so it takes some getting used to. The bio-titan has 8 wounds and he managed to get 6 on it has it rushed in. He managed some criticals. After the battle we chatted on the best way to deal with it was to shoot the legs off of it. Once its speed was curtailed, it is easy to pick off. I've had it done to me by experienced players on many occasions.
The Dominatrix is a hard cookie to get by firing alone. Also he didn't have enough firepower to really take it on in that sector. A warlord with plasma weapons could have made it a bad day for the Dominatrix pretty quickly....

I thought as much. 6 wounds out of 8!!! I'm impressed. With my luck I never managed to hit the thing as all of my shots scattered off the template.

Good game!
The SMs had a lot of firepower... but not enough, it appears. I'd have not taken the the bikes or Assault SMs and more Whirlwinds and/or Mortars. But with all those Preds, L/Raiders and Devs, that's a lot of ranged weapons!
But once the hordes of bugs close the range... it's lunchtime!  ?
Nice bunkers, entrenchments, etc., where'd those come from?
And we still have Terminators with Cyclone Missile Launchers (SM-1). ?Very useful in open battle, does Netepic? ?
C/Cbt weapons are O.K. in a Space Hulk, but in the field, we like ranged weapons, of course!

Would've been shot to pieces used like that in E40k, though the reaver still would have been toast I think! Wonder how they will fare in EA once the list is finalised....
