Subject: 2500pt Grudge Match: Tyranids vs Black Templar/Imperial Fists
A friend of mine and I always have games that come down to the wire each and every time. This was our third battle and was one of my favorite games.
Tyranids:
Flyrant w/HVC, HC, Reaper of Obliterax, AG Flyrant w/HVC, Toxin sacs, Lash whip/boneswords
Tyranid Prime w/Lash whip/boneswords, Warlord trait: Adaptive Biology
Tervigon
30 Termagants w/10 devourers
Crone
Crone
12 Gargoyles
3xDakkafex
Tyrannofex w/Shreddershard and acid spray
Trygon w/Toxin sacs
Mawloc
Black Templars/Imperial Fists
Black Templars
Chaplain with PF (Warlord)
10 Crusaders w/Sword Brother, PAxe, PF 9 Crusades w/ML, Flamer
5 Terminators w/Assault Cannon
Land Raider Crusader w/MM Land Raider
Stalker
2 Vindicators
Stormraven w/MM, Hurricane Bolters, Assault Cannon
Predator w/Lascannons
Imperial Fists
Captain Lysander
5 man Tac Squad w/PG 3 Dev Centurions w/Grav-cannons, Omniscope, ML
My thoughts:
Spoiler:
1) I joked about the Tyrant with AG not needing it before a charge then rolled 3" , needing 4.
2) Trygon refusing to come in was a game losing issue. Had the Mawloc killed off the Centurions it would have been a much different game as well.
3) I mispronounce "Lysander" the entire game.
4) I like playing him because we are both fast turn takers, the entire game took less than 4 hours.
5) I do regret grounding the two Tyrants to take out those vehicles. They should have just vector striked. One would have been fine, just not that close to the Centurions.
6) Centurions are brutal against MC's, this was my first encounter with them.

Dozer Blades is a 100% right. Lysander does only have 3 attacks. It was my first time using him and I guess when I glanced at his profile I read wounds instead of attacks. Rookie mistake. We will just have to play another game to break our tie then. Sorry for the mistake!

Haha like I was saying, even if he hadnt killed the Tervigon and Trygon the real action was in the backfield, scoring that objective sealed the deal. Plus that Stormraven was right there ready to shoot'em up.
Do you have any issues with me using that awesome close up of Lysander as my Avatar? Excellent video and editing work by the way. It was really enjoyable to watch. One of my favorite games in a long time.

Were you playing a special scenario allowing so many Heavy Support choices?
Very entertaining report

Ah, that makes sense. You're both a couple troops short and one BTHQ as well.
Looks like you both had a good time though so that's all that really matters.
