Things started off with me deploying and going first.  He had started his Harpy on the board in turn 1, so it was gliding.  (Despite our conversation on our way to GW about starting it in reserves as it would be more dangerous).

 

The harpy took everything I could throw at it for the first turn, surviving with a single wound left.

 

As I went through my psychic phase, targeting every power I had on his genestealers, hid broodlord denied everything, even when I tried to use Force, he managed to deny that too.  (My terminators and librarian disembarked after the landraider moved forwards so I could use my powers lol)

 

The only casualty of the turn was, in fact, an assault terminator who failed his save vs the exploding wrecked lander.  (Terrain piece)

 

His first turn saw a cautious advance, the harpy glide forwards towards my terminators, and a couple of minor position changes.

 

His shooting phase was effective, no casualties at all.

 

A few large creatures ran to get to a better position, but no assaults.

 

My turn 2 saw an awful lot of carnage.  The predator sat still and unleashed on the Tyrannofex, the harpy died, a carnifex went down, last wound taken by a boltgun!  I assaulted the haruspex and killed it, to deny its HoW attack.  

 

Tyranids turn 2 saw more moving, some shooting (ineffective) and the warriors join against the terminators with the Tyrannofex.

 

We ended it after that really, as my son had lost interest, and got grumpy cos a couple of his biggest monsters were dead.

 

Some pics from the end of my first turn.

True, however, he loved the fact that his broodlord completely countered my librarian in the psychic phase.  

 

Still got to teach him how to lose graciously.

 

Saying that, he has spanked my DA before now, as well as lost to them, and he was younger then.  (December birthday)

Hehehehehehehe... I guess in general that's true but not for me. A couple of kids started playing in my club. Their both 10 which I would say is the bare minimum, but they then took it upon themselves to tell every 3d and 4th grader in their school that it was the eat game ever and they should come play. Now in between 12:30 and 3:00 at my club I have to wade through kids with massive unpaired armies and no codexs whenever I want to go to the bathroom
