Hi guys, this is a pictures batrep for a half fun/half competitive game.
Mission : capture the flags represented byles the ripper swarms (1 in the middle of the table, 2 in the middle of the idle quarters)
Déploiement : table quarters

Shiko runs :
Chapelain, terminator armor (useless warlord trait)
11 DC (2 swords, 1 hammer)
=> Land Raider Redeemer (LRR) with multimelta
6 scouts (1 ML, 5 snipers)
1 tactical squad (2 flamers) => split but both in 1 rhino
1 devastator squad (5 ML + AAM)
1 Typhoon Land Speeder (TLS)
1 Preadtor (Flamer pattern)
2 DC dreadnoughts
1 Furioso dreadnought => drop pod

I run :
1 flyrant + EG (warlord MoA, warp blast and paroxysm)
1 flyrant + EG (warp blast and onslaught)
2x2 zoanthropes (horror et paroxysm)
1 venomthrope
2x 20 termagants (10 devourers)
7 raveners with rending claws
20 gargoyles
2x1 dakkafex
1 exocrine

Deployment

Shiko wins the 1st turn and deploys his troups agressively, except the scouts and the deva squad who take place on the right ruin (he forgot the deva squad at the deployment, but I allowed them to shoot in my turn).
I did my gaunts and gargoyles carpet all around my warlord, one fex, the exocrine and the venom, put the raveners on my right flanc and infiltrate a flyrant in the left ruin and the second fex on top of a flag.

T1 (no picture)
Blood Angels
The furioso scatters 7 inches "back" and only kills 3 gaunts. The LRR moves forward the dakkafex on the flag and kills a few gaunts. The dreadnoughts follows it and make their sprint. The TLS doesn't move and take 1 wound off the dakkafex. The predator moves to the right flag. The scouts and the deva squad try to kill my warlord but miss or I made my saves. 5 SM get out of the rhino behind the pod, kill 1 gargoyle and the 5 others SM stay in.

Tyranids
The flyrants take off, the non-warlors misses his blast against the LRR but the EG take 1 HP to each dreadnought. My warlord misses his against the predator but glances and pens the furioso to death (first blood!). The right zoeys also miss their blast (1 peril and then dont hit). The exocrine kills 2 tactical SM (1 flamer). The left dakkafex wrecks the TLS and the other one takes out 2 HP from the drop pod. The gargoyles move a bit, shoot at the SM (no kill) and… miss their charge. The termagants move forward.

T2 (end of Shiko's mouvement phase)

Blood Angels
The DC get out their transport, charge and kills the dakkafex. The LRR burns… 3 termagants, his assault canon kills another one. The DC dreadnoughts moves forward but only one make his charge and kills 7 gaunts. All the shots from the predator, the rhino and the tactical squad kill 5 gargoyles only ! The deva squad shoots my flyrant with their AA missiles but S7 AP4 is not enough to wound him. The scouts don't do better. The pod kills a zoey (the one who periled).
end of BA turn :


Tyranids

The flyrants move left, one shake the LRR with his blast and then kills 1-2 DC marines, the other one finishes the DC dread. Left zoeys doesnt pen the LRR then decrease the last DC dreadnought WS and BS by 1, the lonely one zoey doesn't do anything. The raveners crawl to the predator and glances it to death. Les left termagants moves and after 32 shots, only 1 DC marine die. The other gaunts tarpit the dreadnought (still 4). Les gargoyles and the dakkafex kill the 3 tactical marines on the flag. The exocrine shoots at the DC but kill none (1 hit... 1 cover save).

T3

Blood Angels
The DC moves to my left termagants and kill 13-14. The shaken LRR moves on my flyrant's back to avoid the EG template. The rhino download the half tactical squad near the raveners and all the BA left flank except the scouts shoot at them: 2 wounds off ! The deva squad will be punished for this... I suddenly feel sorry for my friend whose luck is late tonight. The scouts take 1 wound from my warlord, who crahes himself and lose another one. The DC dread kills 2 gaunts, still 2.

Tyranids

My warlord takes off and take 1 HP from the LRR with EG. The zoeys miss again the LRR. The other flyrant lands near the LRR and finishes it with blast and EG ! The exocrine wrecks the pod. Les gargoyles move and charge the DC wich kills all the gaunts and half the gargoyles. On the other side, the raveners charge both the tactical squad and its rhino, detroy the vehicle but kill only 2 marines. In the middle, the carnifex charge the DC dreadnought, lose 1 wound but finishes it.

T4
End of turn picture

Blood Angels
The DC kill the gargoyles and consolidate toward the ruin. The deva and the scouts kill the landed tyran.

Tyranids
All my left flank shoot at the DC and kill all but 3 (slay the warlord!) and the carnifex charge them, killing 2 more and losing 2 wounds from the hammer wearer. On the other side, the raveners charge both the scouts and the deva squad, killing 3 SM from each squad and losing no wound. The marines miss they morale check but the raveners are to fast and everyone stay locked in the combat!

At this point, my opponent concedes.

I hope you like it. I apologize for the bad language, don't hesitate to correct my wrong words or sentences.
Thanks for reading.
