Mission #3: Dark Knights Defeat Hive Fleet Nemesis

Commanders,

Chapter Master Valandar Rex gets his first victory of the tournament in a sleeper. The Ancient Hungerer realized early on that his Hive was severely out matched; lots of firepower + open terrain does not equal good victory conditions for Tyranid armies. The Ancient Hungerer chose a reverse "hit & run" tequnique to equal the odds; a plan that nearly worked had it not been for a pesky set of ruins occupying a large portion of the middle of the board.

Good shootin' Rex!

Everyone help me congratulate Chapter Master Valandar Rex on his victroy!


Here is your final score:

Dark Knights
Casualty Points: 148

Hive Fleet Nemesis
Casualty Points: 75

Victor: Dark Knights

An interesting side note... originally I had processed the shooting orders for N1 not realizing that there was more than 6" of area terrain between them and their target (DK2b).

As it turned out, all 3 Deatherspitter shots hit, but only killing 2 additional marines, bringing Hive Fleet Nemesis' CP's to 107. Damn close!

Nice try Bill!

I think Bill was just feeling guilty about his win over me...

I don't believe him about it not being good for his army...

The sisters had the same BS, the same armor, same bolters. Even had a building right in the middle. Didn't stop him then! :)

I just think the Nids have a taste for Nun flesh. :)

Feeling guilty...??? That doesn't sound like Bill at all. LOL j/k

No, I'm pretty sure it was those 5 Blast template weapons, and a plethora of rapid fire bolters that had something to do with it. :)
