Game Five - Last bug wins

Our fifth game in the campaign was a 500 point anniliation game between Eldar and Nids.

The first turn the Brood lord and retinue managed to destroy a wave serpent and 5 guardians. However, the surviving Farseer, Warlock and guardians response was to wipe out five of the Brood lords retinue in shruiken and destructor (Warlock) firepower, and then assault the lord and three genestealers! The ensuing close-combat saw the remaining guardians ripped to pieces. However, the runes saved the Farseer and Warlock, who with swift strokes of their witch blades killed the Brood lord and his remaining three retinue.

The remaining turns saw the nid second squad (comprising genestealers with scything talons) take apart a War Walker as well as the Farseer and Warlock. At end game only the Eldar vyper having its missile launcher destroyed was left and could not kill the remaining genestealer to win the game.

Tyranids won by 3 kill points : 2 kill points for Eldar.
