Start of Game A swarm doubles up. The Bommers take out two Biovores. A Swarm doubles up. A mech mob doubles and lays a BM on the Stealers. A Swarm doubles up and lays a BM on the mech mob. A Land comes in on a Swarm, taking a BM from the Gargoyle. Two guants go down. A poor resolution roll sees the Landa destroyed and the Storm Boys broken. The Swarm doubles on them and hacks one down. The Blitz Brigade doubles and Zzaps an Exocrine. The Biovores take out a Battlewagon. A Mech Mob doubles and lays a BM on a Swarm. The Exocrines advance and take out a Gunwagon. The KoS doubles and kills two Warriors, breaking the Swarm. Another Swarm doubles and absorbs them. A Mech Mob doubles and breaks the Biovores, kiling one. The Harridan doubles and take out a Buggy. The 'Uge Mob goes on Overwatch. A Swarm doubles. The BTS marches to engage range. The Genestealers chicken out and only marshal, I should have engaged. The Trygons surface. The Lictors appear.

Turn 2 The Mech Mob engages the Stealers. Four make it out alive. The KoS engages the Blitz. One to one after round one. Despite makinging it into BtB I failed most of my saves and the Blitz breaks. The Trgons engage the Blitz Brigade. Poor saves again seem the casualties to 3 to 3. They loose but the Birgade breaks. A Swarm retains and engages a Mech Mob. One to One. They can't pull out a win either and break. The Storm Boyz engage the Lictors. The Loose one but the Lictors are wiped out. The Harridan engages the Mech Mob after the Exocrines double and lay a BM, she wins but breaks due to failed saves. The Bommers hack down a BTS gaunt. The bigger swarm doubles and lays a BM on the Mech Mob. Another engages. It's wiped out. The 'Uge mob doubles and does nothing to the Trgons. A Swarm doubles and lays a BM on the KoS. A Swarm advances on the Mech Mob.

Turn 3 The KoS double and break the Harridan, grabbing Blitz as well. The Storm Boys attempt to double, fail and regroup. The Genestealers engage the Mech Mob. A Battlewagon goes down along with two Grotz. The Stealers break. The Swarm tries its luck. Two Boys, three gaunts and a Warrior go down. After round two another two gaunts, two Boys and a Battlewagon fall. The Swarm looses but the Mob breaks due to losses. The 'Uge mob enages on the Trygons. One Trygon goes down and the other breaks. A Swarm doubles and denies Blitz, laying a BM on the KoS. The Bommers grab BTS. The Exocrine advance and break the KoS. A Swarm doubles to lay a BM on the Stormboyz (we later realized they were scouts so moved them and changed the following assault's resolution). The bigger Swarm eganges. Three Storm Boyz go down but the nids rolled double a 2 for the resolution. A Swarm marshals and gets Gargoyles in AA range. The Biovores marshal and move.

jeez, bad luck with those assaults Dave. Nice batrep though. out of curiosity, why do people take Stormboyz over a small mob+extra boyz in a Landa? Is it because they can be more irritating/ effective after the initial assault? They just seem less effective in the initial assault..

I've never taken them in a Landa, I usually take them on foot as a scout screen. Scouts are always a annoying. >:D

If the latter, I'd guess it's hard to get many units into CC whilst also being within 5cm of the aircraft?

The Landa is a War Engine so it can land in the middle of an enemy formation and barge units out of the way. It has good CC so it doesn't mind being in base contact. This makes it much easier to get all the boyz (and more importantly, the Grots to absorb the first few hits) into base contact with the target formation.

Haven't seen to many planetfalling landas, mainly because they'd have to come in turn 3 or later. Troops with Jump Packs can disembark up to 15cm though.

Thanks for the report. How do you feel the list played?

Sorry, missed this post Ares. Had three games now that have gone to tiebreak (haven't done the math for last nights but I'm pretty sure it was a 'nid loss). Not really seeing the "Termagant Terror" list as overly broken at the moment. I'll give it a few more playtests but after that I'm going to move towards something a little more competitive if my mind.

No problem. I like your reports, they are very clear and easy to follow. It's a nice study in tactics too for those of us who have less experience than you and your gaming mates. I've noticed that you have played with a lot of light infatry swarms, yes. Quite the "horde of theeth and claw" feel indeed. Looking forward to see if other lists produce similar results. Keep up the good work, I'm delighted to see Tyranids moving forwards again!
