Looks like a pretty good match so far. Can't wait till those genestealers see some action. Sham about the support squad bitting it, though that's more to spawn back eventually!

Just a quick question, but the tyranid list doesn't seem to have the prerequisite "1/4 of points being common brood". Unless I misunderstand some rules it seems there is only enough basic infantry (hormies, termies, gargs, and raveners) for just over 2000 points.

Nice batrep so far :)

Support swarm 1: Hive Tyrant with 4 Dactylis
Support swarm 2: Hive Tyrant with 4 Dactylis


Is this a typo? Hive Tyrants can only have 3 Dactylis IIRC.

I didn't check the points values when I wrote the list, as I was in a hurry and did not know the list by heart. I felt limited by the availability of models: Hena does not have too many basic infantry figures for the 'nids. If I could have, I'd have included Raveners and would've considered a third big inf swarm instead of the second Dactylis brood.

Turn 1 shows my basic idea pretty well: produce too many targets (the three GS groups and teleporting Lictors) for the Marines. Even when I lose the initiative on turn 2, I can still engage effectively with stealers and/or Lictors. I paid no attention to force protection. The idea was simply to engage for effect at the start of turn 2. The report will show how this worked...

Eh? They can have 15 units. Note that the Synapse (X) value talks about units not combined value of Brood(X).

Thanks for clearing that up. Somehow I had misread that and also played my games with this false interpretation.

Edit: I have written most of this, but pictures are still not done. So hopefully I manage to finish this in the evening. Then I have another coming as I had time to play on sunday too.

Tease, tease, tease...
