Scenario A : The Initial Assault - Aftermath Ouch, a loss for the invaders. I lost 800 points in exchanged for only 522.5 points. Hormagaunts with 2 wounds each are a nightmare, especially with 20 in a brood. The Predator Destructor was singularly useless in doing absolutely nothing during the whole battle. Perhaps a Predator Annihilator should be next on my shopping list. I managed to miss with the Venerable Dreadnought's plasma cannon even though I needed only a 2+. Having it charge Termagant brood 1 ensured that it will be stuck in combat for the rest of the game, though it did protect it from Hive Tyrant 1 which couldn't charged it, surrounded as it was by Termagants. I'm quite impressed by how the Grey Hunters managed to last throughout the whole game until the Tyranid Monstrous Creatures stepped in with their hooves. Having the Wolf Priest and Blood Claws chase after the fleeing Termagants, in hindsight, may not have been the wisest of moves. With a massive 12" run, they not only ran down the Termagants but also ended up too close to Carnifex 1 for all their troubles. With Tyranid Monstrous Creatures having the ability to allocate their close combat attacks, my powerfist-armed marines literally had signboard that say "hit me". In hindsight, I probably would have changed my army list to allow for more heavy weapons, maybe replacing the Predator Destructor for a Predator Annihilator. Lascannons with their AP of 2 would have quickly put the Zoanthrope to rest, as well as disallowing any saves for the Carnifexes and Hive Tyrants.
