As another week ends, so does your wait for a brand new Glacial Geek Battle Report! https://youtu.be/wovBUHu1G7E This week my Dark Angels take on the Tyranids! The planet had been overrun by the ravening hordes of xenos. The Tyranids had slaughtered the Imperial defenders and anyone who was still alive had evacuated the planet. It was a lost cause and the Imperial Navy was preparing to Exterminatus the planet to try and deny the Hive Fleet the biomass. But an urgent request was made. There was dataslate on the planet that might well contain the key to stopping the Hive Fleet and preventing any more planets facing a similar fate to this one. A force of Dark Angels, in the sector to provide their strength in fighting off the Tyranids, was assembled and tasked with one job. Retrieve that dataslate at all costs. Will the Unforgiven be able to retrieve the data to help stop the Hive Fleet, or will the Hive Mind prove too overwhelming for them to handle? Watch and find out!

As always, a great game! I agree that we'll see more stuff we used to never see (like Exocrines) in the new edition. This game has just reinforced my idea of arranging all kinds of units around a core of characters to give everybody a buff. Azrael is probably the best Dark Angels character for this since he gives so many benefits. I'm actually going to be running a similar list to this one in a tournament tomorrow, so it was good to see the Primaris marines in action as I'll be using some of them myself.

Nice game! But why do you get -1 shooting to the flyrant? there's no rule saying you hit flying unit with a -1...that is the "hard to hit" rule

Thank you :-D

@ZergSmasher - Yeah I highly recommend Azrael! I ran him in a tourney centered with a Techmarine, three las preds, and a Darkshroud and they performed very well for me!

@Marfuzzo - Yeah, I messed up with that one ... I thought fliers had it as a general rule, forgot that they needed the Hard to Hit rule to make it so ... My bad :-(
