BATTLE REPORT

 

We rolled off for missions and played modified killpoints (HQ-1, Elites, Heavy and Fast Attack - 2, Troops -3 and units created in battle - 0) The deployment was pitched battle, and I won the super roll.

TURN 1

 

BT:

 

I moved my rhinos and landraider 12" foward, popping smoke on all of them. Terminators disembarked into the terrain in the middle, gunning down one zoanthrope. My Dread stayed in reserve (Deepstriking). The 2 speeders turbo boosted around my right flank.

 

NIDS:

 

Will moved his hormagaunts and genestealers foward. He hid the Trygon and Tervigon behind the ruined building in the centre of his deployment zone. The Tervigon birthed 11 gaunts, rolling a double four so no more spawns. He cast feel no pain on the Trygon.

 

Both units of hiveguard shot at the rhino on my left flank, managing to Immobolise it. The troops disembarked.

End of Turn 1

 

TURN 2

BT:

 

Crusaders on the left tried to get in the Landraider but were too far away. The speeders moved into the centre and shot at the Trygon, missing both shots.

The centre rhino surged foward 12" again.

 

The Landraider stayed still and shot the Trygon, taking one wound off it. The Terminators shot the zoanthropes and killed one, leaving the other on 1 wound.

 

The Crusaders and EC on my right flank assaulted and wiped out the spawned termagaunts, falling back towards their rhino.

NIDS:

 

All of the Gaunts and Stealers moved up. The trygon moved up and the gargoyles took up the centre of the board.

 

The Tervigon shot the right Crusader squad, which zealed foward. The Hiveguard blew up the speeder on the right. The zoanthropes shot at the centre rhino and missed. The other hiveguard exploded the centre rhino, which killed a few crusaders. Tervigon cast feel no pain on the Gargoyles.

 

The Gargoyles tried to assault the Crusaders in the middled but rolled double 1's for difficult terrain.

TURN 3

 

 

BT

 

The speeder moved close to the Gargoyles. The left Crusaders were still too far away to get in the Land Raider Crusader. The dreadnought dropped in next to the broodlord and gaun horde. The Crusaders on the right took moved close to the Trygon. The Crusaders in the centre moved up towards the Trygon aswell.

 

The Landraider opened fire on the Trygon and managed to take two wounds off it. The Crusader squad took a wound off it with the meltagun. The speeder flamed the Gargoyles. The Terminators finished off the Zoanthropes.

 

The Crusaders on the right assaulted the Trygon and the EC killed it, they consolidated into the ruin.

Great report so far.

 

One question. I'm assuming the gargoyles got wiped out, not the terminators?? But not sure.

 

Looking forward to part 2!
