In hindsight, tyranids made two huge gambles on flanking, both ending up on the wrong side of the board that he wanted. Also, his mawloc did not work out as he would have liked, because he used his Lictor wrong (Learn actual rules Drak >.>). On the necrons side however, it was almost perfect. They dug in a weathered the storm. Only could have done better by using nightbringer more.
Also, they did come back at an awesome lunch of pizza and tyranids eventually won killing everything, so the necrons were lucky for the game to end on turn five.
Sorry about everything that is hard to comprehend and keep up. I did have pictures, but they weren't good so I'm gonna work on that. Oh, and I'll work on battle report layouts as well.
Well.... Igloo, signing out.
umm, yeah. Constructive critism: Try to structure your summary's better. Instead of bullet form, I'd suggest doing actual sentences.
ReplyDeleteNotes on game: The mawloc was wounded, I believe, by the deathmarks, not the warriors, if I recall correctly.
Random side notes: Its obvious who YOU were cheering for. Lol. That aside, Dragonauthor, not Drak.
Other than that? Great battle report, and would love to take part in another soon!
Also! 10 gargoyles, 30 devourgants, 15 genestealers with toxic sacs and scything talons. Broodlord had Acid blood, implant attack, scything talons, and Toxin sacs.
DeleteHive Tyrant had Heavy Venom cannon, hive commander, old adversary, regeneration, and desiccator largae. Your welcome.
