Battle Report - Space Wolves VS Tyranids

First semi-proper battle report is here!

The rules we were playing for this were:
500 points
At least 1 HQ
At least 1 Troop
All other points spent as desired

Space Wolves:
Rune Priest - Power Armour, Choser of the Slain, Storm Bolter, MH and LL powers
Lone Wolf - Terminator Armour, Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield
Lone Wolf - Terminator Armour, Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield
Grey Hunters x 5 - Melta Gun, Wolf Standard
Long Fangs x 5 - 4 Missile Launchers, Melta Gun

Tyranids - I cannot remember exactly what they were kitted out with, it was mostly the Warriors and Prime that had extra wargear.
Genestealers x 20
Zonethrope
Hive Guard
Tyranid Warriors x 3
Tyranid Prime

The table was set up in a city like layout, close quarters fighting was to be had. we didn't take pictures unfortunately or take a good account of what happened when. We really suck at this! however the result was Space Wolves winning in 3 to 4 turns, the game lasted around 50 mins which is far far faster than our normal games.

Watch this space for a more detailed report, I have to now go clean the flat >_<

2nd round of doubles completed

It's been a while since a post was put up.

On Tuesday we completed another long session of 40k. In this round we extended our points to 750 points each. Decided to use a random dice program to see who would team with whom. Fraser managed to join with Jamie so Orks and 'Nids and i was teamed with Mike so Space Pups and Chaos Marines.

I think one day we will remember to actually post up a Bat Rep but we pulled up an annihilation mission and proceeded to attack each other.

It was a fun game with only 1 complication with a rule using a Mawloc. Can a Mawloc who scatters too far come up inside a building and hit anything on the 1st floor? This for us was a game stopper until we decided that it just came up due to the wording of the attack being too vague.

Next week it might be Tyranids with Chaos Marines vs Space Wolves and Orks, there may be an Imperial Guard list joining us too which should make for an interesting night. Hopefully we will be able to Bat Rep it!
