Battle Report 3 - Tyranids vs. Shitake Craftworld Eldar
Turn 3
Implacable, the swarm advanced. The swifter Mortigaunts were
starting to overtake the Genestealers that had managed to sneak
in closer to our lines before the attack began. The writhing chaos
of chitin and claw was awe inspiring, but the noble Eldar held
their ground, awaiting the heat of the swirling melee that would
inevitably come.
The monstrous Carnifex and Hive Tyrant brought their huge living
cannons to bear on the western Falcon. As if fate itself were
punishing the crew for their ineffectiveness, the blasts from
the monsters slammed into the tank bringing it crashing down to
earth. The Farseer and his Guardian Storm Squad managed to escape
the wreckage, losing only one man in the process.
The Gargoyles devoured the last of the Starcannon crew and settled
in the top of the bunker. The image conjured up images of the
mon keigh and their cathedrals. The beasts would not rest for
long. The eastern Falcon moved toward the bunker and the units
inside disembarked. In perfect coordination with the other Farseer's
unit, they swept the Gargoyles with gouts of flame. They screeched
and writhed as they died, like the noble warriors that had fallen
to their wicked weapons.
For the briefest of moments, the fearsome Hive Tyrant was visible
and his retinue of bodyguard were delayed in the foggy swamp. The
highly trained gunners of the Eldar seized the moment seriously
wounded him but he continued to advance. The crew of the Falcon
stood their ground. The aid of their Farseer had allowed them down
a good number of beasts, but their numbers were staggering.
