Turn 2
Blip 2 reveals itself to be the Carnifex heavy Attack Group! (The one time my Carnifex are in the perfect position for an assault? and I wind up taking Venomspitters instead of Screamer-Killers? let's just say, it made a big difference!)
Strategy Roll: TYRANIDS!!!
With a roar of rage, the Hive Tyrant leads its Attack Swarm into an assault against the intermingled Recon Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta!!!
The Tyrant is the only thing to die in the first round of combat? *SIGH*, but the fight goes on! In the end, Recon Alpha is wiped out and Recon Bravo loses another Attack Bike, but only the Carnifex survive for the Tyranids. The Marines win by "2", and the Carnifex quickly go to ground.
The Warhound sustains fire on the slightly regrown Assault Swarm 1? and kills a single Gargoyle.
Assault Swarm 1 responds by launching a long range assault against Recon Bravo. Bravo loses another bike and breaks, but the Marines still win, the support fire of the other Recon units and the Titan killing everything but the Tyranid Warriors, who try to move into cover.
Recon Charlie advances to flank the surviving Warriors, catching them in a crossfire with the Warhound? they score three accurate hits, but the Tyranid beasts make a remarkable 3 saves! (Oh boy was my opponent pissed by that! *laugh*)
The Support Swarm finally gets into the action by sustaining fire on the Recon HQ. One Bike is trashed and the detachment suffers a total of 3 Blast markers.
Recon Delta decides to get revenge by engaging Assault Group 1 with a whole lot of support. They manage to wipe out the Tyranid Warriors, but do suffer one casualty in return.
Recon Echo doubles around the backfield to scan Blip 5? and reveals it to just be a sensor ghost, no enemy activity found!
Recon HQ doubles forward to scan Blip 4 and uncovers Assault Swarm 2!
Recon Golf advances to fire on the newly revealed Tyranids and takes out 1 Gargoyle.
With a lot of support, Recon Foxtrot engages Assault Group 2, who counter-charges into Recon HQ!
In a fierce fight the Tyranids lose 1 Warrior, 1 Ravener, 1 Termagant, and 2 Hormagaunts, but Recon HQ loses 2 Bikes and Foxtrot loses 3 Attack Bikes, the Marines are pushed back in disarray!
End of Turn:
Again, all the Marine formations rally.
The Support Swarm respawns an Exocrine and a Gargoyle, while Assault Group 2 gets a Zoanthrope!
(In the excitement of what was to happen next, I forgot to snap an End of Turn shot!)
