Tested out 1500 point Escalation lists today for Astronomicon. Nids took a barbed heirodule, and CSM took a warhound titan with twin turbolaser destructors.

Nids went first, warhound took some fire but only lost its shields. Warhound killed a tervigon and the heirodule by rolling 6's. It proceeded to charge and kill some genestealers, and then during the nids' second shooting phase lost shields again and 3 hull points. My second turn, it missed one but killed another zoanthrope, then charged and killed a third. Turn 3 not much happened, but the heldrake arrived, downing the hive tyrant, which got killed by lascannon fire. At the end of turn 3, only the hive crone was left.
