Hi guys, this is my newest battle report against tyranids. The game was the scourging with hammer and anvil deployment.
Its turned out to be a very cinematic game. Hope you enjoy

Can eldrad cast the same power three times a turn?

No, he can cast 1 power twice thanks to his staff, and he can do a total of 3 powers per turn altogether. So 3 separate powers, or 1 power twice plus a different one.


edit to add - psykers embarked on transports may only target their unit or the vehicle they're with, if i remember correctly. Maybe the eldar powers work differently than i remember.

Eldar powers don't require LoS and thus don't adhere to that section about transports in the psykers rules. It could however use a bit more clarity. Sadly, this mech setup was great in 5th, but not that vehicles can get sneezed on in CC and wreck, it took a huge hit. You have to either stay at max range and try to gunboat with them or go on foot.

Great report! You should use some of the new random terrain effects rules to spice up your games

Peace Out!
Jonny!

If i did bring out the grey knights from retirement i have no idea what i would do with them. But who knows :p

Footdar is awesome. Try out a killy list with d. Eldar for anti tank. I have a list posted that works great against most anything.

Nice batrep sorry for the loss but I'm glad to finally see a tyranid victory when all I see in batreps are losses for our mighty bugs

So the Tervgon spawned 56 gaunts! Good going, the gaunts also did a number on your wave serpents as well, thanks for th report

I should start doing batreps again, then. My record in 6th with tyranids is 14W-0D-1L so far, including a Feast of Blades qualifier 1st place finish and a RTT where i scored 48/50 possible points. 6th edition has done lots of things to benefit bugs, even with random charges and overwatch it's possible to work an assault army to the top.
