I got first 1st blood by lighting up a tyrant which died from a barrage of fire. The varna hurt the hive tyrant and killed a gargolye, the piranhas killed more gargoyles, rippy killed the remaining gargoyles in another unit, split fire from the broadsides hurt a hive tyrant and killed more gargoyles, longstrike hurt the hive tyrant bringing it 2 1 wound left. Fire blade and his unit killed 3 rippers. The varna nova charged hurt itself and failed rippy didnt nids moved up and spawned a few gaunts. Gargoyles killed a pathfinder. Turn 2 piranhas killed hive tyrant and broadsides killed off the tervigon. Fire warriors killed gaunts rippy and varna nova charged failed but got feel no pain. Rippy killed more gaunts. Suicide squad hurt a biovore.
Nids turn2 mawloc popped up and killed a piranha. Trygon popped up and so did more nids. Turn 3 lost a broadside hurt the trygon and mawloc, crisis team hurt the biovores killing 1 other team killed more gaunts. Varna died and rippy got down to 1 wound, longstrike killed the doom after it finished off the broadsides, mawloc popped up but scattered away from the crisis suits which had come over from killing the biovores with overwatch. These suits killed off the gargoyles and a few gaunts. 2 other suits killed loads of gaunts before they got killed by a trygon the fireblade and his squad killed gaunts as they ran for the relic but were killed in cc, ethereal and his unit slaughtered a gargoyle and the rippers in cc.
My opponent started his hive tyrant, tervigon and 2 units of gargoyles on the board. The majority of these died very quickly. He did say he planned on pushing the tervigon up to the relic and keep spawning gaunts but unfortunately for him I got first turn and flattened a huge amount of his vanguard. As you can see from the summary there was a lot of killing, I did get worried when my opponents mawloc, trygon and gaunts popped up in my deployment zone. I had kept my flamer crisis teams in reserve and they came on and slaughtered 16 gaunts in one torrent of flame. This was a turning point of the game otherwise I would have had a huge up hill struggle as the tyranids came in all around me. It was a little closer than I would have liked (I know the score doesn't represent that) but the Doom caused a huge amount of chaos until it came into the open and got blown apart by longstirke who killed/wounded a unit in every turn.I didn't get to use the R'Varna as much as I would have liked (I wanted to pie plate massive hordes just to see the hordes disintegrate infront of us). In the end I had the relic and a few units scattered around the board. 1 crisis team that had deep struck to kill the biovores came across the board killing a unit every turn which was a huge key to winning.
The deployment, view from the Tau lines. The pathfinders infiltrated into the ruins and behind the wall. The relic is on the hill in the middle.
End of Tau shooting phase the majority of the gargoyles were killed and the hive tyrant took a beating. There are biovores hiding in the ruins, these were killed by the crisis suits.
Feel like I was being over run, the hormagaunts in the foreground behind the trygon were killed by the deep striking flamer suits, this one move more or less won the game. The trygon focused on these suits instead of the R'Varna. The riptide also killed a number of these troops. The gaunts in front of the R'Varna pushed my fire warriors and fire blade closer to the relic and eventually were ran down and killed.
The crisis team has killed the hormagaunts and haven't been attacked by the trygon just yet. The photo looks less chaotic after a planned shooting phase. I didn't use the R'Varna on the gaunts on the off chance the shots scattered onto the fire warriors or back onto the R'Varna itself.
