We had a tournement at the local store today. 2nd round of games placed my guard against the store owner and his nids. Now Greg is a great guy and a great gamer however he was under the weather with all the sickness going around.
So lets see the list
HSO w/ Power Sword Carapace, 4 Guard CCW& LP, Commissar w HI, PF, Carapace
6 Guard sharpshooter 3 heavy bolters
6 guard sharpshooter 3 autocannons
Infantry Platoon
JO w/ Power Weapon and Carapace, 4 Guard CCW& LP, Commissar PW, Plasma P, Carapace
3 Infantry Squads with 1 Plasma gun each
Infantry Platoon
JO w/ Power W, Carapace, 4 Guard CCW& LP
2 Guard Squads
Hellhound
6 Ratlings
2 Leman Russ w lascannons and Heavy Bolter sponsons
Heavy Weapon Platoon
JO w/ Power Weapon and Carapace
6 lascannons
3 missile launchers
His List
2 squads of 12 genestealers with rending
16 Hormogaunts
1 Biovore
1 Carnifex with the spore mine layer
2 Tyrants. 1 with wings the other was a shooter
1 lictor
5 warriors w/ death spitters and 1 venom cannon.
It was a brisk clear morning in the valley. A lazy river flowed through the middle of the valley. Here and there stood a copse of trees. Near an acient bridge stood two towers of some long lose civilization.
The officers walked among their men keeping morale high and performing final checks as the guard prepared the defenses for what could be the bloodest day of their lives since their freedom from the slave camps. The commissars took journey with the Colonel Abraham and the Lt. Sharon to discuss the coming peril.
The heavy weapon teams took positions on the hill to cover the men and tanks as they stood lower on the hill to drive the bigger creatures away. Below them stood the men and women of platoon Shabot & Shalom stood ready preparing their weapons and performing the sacred rights over their mighty plasma weapons. On the western flank a fire support squad prepared their autocannons as the ratling snipers picked their positions among the trees. Near them a mighty hellhound rolled forward ready to unleash death. By the bridge two Leman Russes slowly pulled forward ready to defend the bridge even in death. Behind them up on the hill three heavy bolter teams made ready their defenses.
What came that day was not what the guard were expecting. instead of swarms came the elite of the enemy. Two massive swarm of genestealers came upon their flanks rushing forward into the river. Along the bridge came the lesser beast as the hormoguants came flooding over followed by what was known as the warriors among the nid caste system. Bringing up the rear far off in the distance were two tyrants one a great white fly high into the sky and came screaming towards our lines.
The battle began with the bark of autocannons and the loud crack of lascannons. The genestealer waves began to falter as our aim struck true. However these were not enough. We needed the power of the hellhound and what power we unleashed. Full well we knew of the destructive power of fire but it was all the more enjoyable to see a horde of their number fall before the flames...
alright this bores me.
heres how it went long story short.
4 turns. i wipe out 1 genestealer squad early with the hellhound.
the other took 8 casualties but was still strong especially with a tyrant on their heels. the hormoguants charged and killed one guard squad. the hellhound caught it later as well as two guard squads rapid firing into it.
the other genestealers meet their fate to the hands of a jo and his retinue
the tyrant attacked a guard squad and was quickly silenced by
a powerfisted commissar and HSO. the warriors were picked off by missile launcher and lascannon fire as well as heavy bolter.
casualties most of his line and about 3 squads of guard.
