kill team 2021 game 4

"Scouting parties of the Tau, Space Marines and Eldars went to investigate a strange call for help from an old prospection station. Unknown to them, Tyranids have burrowed beneath the settlement. Just before the attack, the defenders readied themselves in an unusual alliance."


Another game of Kill Team for 2021.

This time, co-op game with 3 players vs. game-controlled tyranid waves.

60 pts force per player, 6 entry points for the tyranids. Game: Disabling the entry points.

To disable an entry point a model must spend the whole turn doing nothing. Tyranid always have initiative. Every turn, we roll 2 dice to randomly select 2 entry points, and roll for the tyranid force.

Sadly, no photos toward the end. In summary, the Scorpions played the firefighter role, rushing and assisting melee whenever they could, killing genestealers. The losses of the defenders were minimum and the last holes secured by having 1 model destroying it while genestealer were fighting escort. 
We survived!
