(Currently 1 mission win each side, we didn't add the commander bonuses abilities)
I was a bit more prepared with knowing my specialists skills and cp abilities this time
*Youtube will have a Time lapse and and more close up diceroll and whats going on.. cam.. experiment maybe late sunday..
After the fate of the Truehawk evacuation
Elucia is trapped in one of the drop pods (left and/or right)
I can open it with a team member with in 1 at the end of a normal move.. not a charge or advance, or she can spend cp to try and roll over 7 to escape her self +1 per turn passed..
she need to be on the starting deployment sqr at the end of turn 6 for rescue
a Minion Starstrider goes to left pod Axamillion goes to right pod
A Hulk emerges from a hole and take out a minion starstrider...(Forgot the invul field)
this minion is out of sight of the Invul field too...
Comms man Vahn tries to use his comms and console to keep doors locked which move him behind a wall and limits his Invun Field line of sight....
Prond the Death Cult assassin also dies! before use! Pox used CP to fight 1st.
A Combat hulk moves towards the escape pod anticipating Elucias escape
Axamillion finds his master and chews up some alien scum. (dogs are well known for the there juryriging ad-hoc engineering skills)
As Elucia retreats to the evac zone, Doc heal her and her team forms a line to protect her from a Pox charge
The Hulks and Commander swarm in taking some futile wounds!
(we used dice and these tokens to show wounds)
Axe keeps chewing up the smaller aliens
People start to die!
All the minions dead!
Grell with the rotor canon guns down a charging vox pox minion

Mission 4 Death or Defiance
Winner takes all mission , defenders commander must be on the central circle at the end of turn 5..or 6..(*rules check)
The Pox deploy from the tunnels
(circles marked on the board)
Prond charges the commander go assassin!
Vahan goes south to keep the assassin in the Invun bubble
A swarm of bugs come from side tunnels
Butcher contemplates his next meal/melee
Nitch Head shots with his shotgun a Pox zombie
This was a fun turn of me shooting gallery of low toughness enemies pop pop pop
Axe is charged .. some poor charge roll from the pox, assassin also disengaged to try and use her dart gun again wounds on 2+ where her str is weak with her sword in melee unless she can use her 2 cp power...
Dr down!
Scuffle Scuffle
looking bleak till!
Prods charges her Death cult sword! cp ability (need to read the card again for the blog but its was mega ) finally used her correctly !
Off with his heads!
Mission wise its a draw 2 all but the final mission is winner takes all.. win for the Starstriders!
close and well matched.. mission 1 and 3 where stumbling blocks tactically miss reading or mission 1 just getting used to the teams..
I look forward to Guards and Tyrannid match up on these maps and mission.. gonna check out the match play soon..
