This morning Ian and I headed into the Aberdeen Games Workshop for a Warhammer 40K – his Red Fist Space Marines against my Tyranids swarm.
We chose to play on one of the Cities of Death tables and rolled a “seize ground” scenario with a “dawn of war” deployment and three victory locations – two in buildings and one in a crater.
In the first turn Ian’s Predator got imobilised in the crater whilst I positioned my units to take the other victory locations.
One brood of genestealers and a carnifex attacked one of the victory locations held by a squad of marines and Chapter Master Omar whilst the other genestealer brood and a brood of warriors went against the immobilised Predator and a tactical squad.
The carnifex’s barbed strangler made short work of the tactical squad and Omar which was mopped up an assault by the genestealers when then took the objective in the building above them whilst the carnifex took a nearby objective by lumbering up to third floor of the buidling.
The warriors and genestealers tried to attack the tactical squad covering the immobilised Predator but were all taken out by withering heavy bolter fire.
So, in the end it was two Tyranid objectives to one Space Marine objective.
I win! I win! I Win!
