TURN TWO- Orks: The Runtherd prodded his mob away from the spore mine and gave the signal to fire on it. The spore mine erupted, blasting into the bunker but failing to kill any of the Orks inside. Hearing the explosion the Goffs came barrelling onto the battlefield, guns blazing. Despite all the flying lead, the skarboyz only killed a single genestealer, but the dead-eye aim of the tankbustas was once again right on target-- two hits! One genestealer ducked behind a tree at the last moment, while one was killed in a spectacular splash of exploding chitin.
The Tyranids were not enticed by the Warboss' feint, so he gunned the trukk and headed back to the action. Meanwhile, the big gunz and the Death Skulls gathered up from inside the camp and set up their guns.
TURN TWO- Tyranids: Seeing a new threat in the Warboss, the Hive Tyrant directed her Warriors to turn the Venom Cannon at the trukk. The shells flew true, and the trukk would have been doomed for sure had it not been for the extra armor plates covering the front. The Hive Tyrant screamed in frustration, while the Mekboyz cracked a smug and toothy grin. Full of rage, the Tyranid swarm moved forward with a sudden burst of speed, unleashing a holocaust of hormagaunts. The Orks had underestimated the speed of those bugs, a point the Bad Moons noted with interest as the hormagaunts shredded the grots outside the window. Shrieking wildly, the gretchin disappeared under sandbags, behind barrels-- anywhere they could squeeze themselves. The Runtherd was swamped as the hormagaunts swept right over him in a frenzy to reach the Goffs. A spore mine came crashing into the Goff ranks just ahead of the hormagaunts, killing two of the ladz, including one of the big shootas.
