Another game, this time a devastating loss.

I had a tough time facing down 7 Lemon Russ, 2 Regal Dorns, and 4 Chimeras. My anti-tank just wasn’t practical, and it didn’t help. Instead of 3 maliceptors and 3 exocrines, I brought a Harridan.

I will see this game I did play well, just didn’t have the firepower.

Hive Tyrant (general) Synaptic Lynchpin	255
Neurotyrant	105
Old One Eye	150
Gargoyles x2	170
Carnifexes	230
Exocrine x2	270
Harridan	610
Maleceptor	170
Pyrovores	40

Round 1

Nice shot of the Harridan overlooking his troops. His size and scale are compared to the Hive Tyrant and Maleceptor below.

Our initial setup looked something like this. After looking at my opponent’s list, I knew I was going to have a tough time.

I pushed up with my melee units while he held firing lines with his tanks. This was very standard. I probably should have screened my carnify with gargoyles on the advance.

He didn’t shoot particularly well. I didn’t either, and after the first round, absolutely zero units were destroyed.

After round 2, I lost my carnify and still have not destroyed a tank. Plus, he was able to bring on two more from deepstrike. The game was over at this point. Both exocrines had less than 3 wounds remaining.

This was the end of round 3, as you can see, with minimal firepower. He would get to shoot again to start round 4. I let him try to table me, then conceded.
