Narrow victory against Ralfs Space Marines

Short summary:
- 1500 points on 48x48"
- Mission was "Capture and Control" with pitched battel deployment
- Much area terrain but only two little LOS blocker
- Space Marines won the roll off and chose to start
- 3 Assault Cannons and some Lascannons wrecked the Trygon in the first round
- Hormagaunts were tied up by a Dreadnought without arms the whole game (miscalculated the distance :-(
- Land Raider remained unscathed (just one damaged Lascannon) because the Zoantrophe died early
- Ravener reached and destroyed the other Dreadnought, were assaulted by the Chaplain and the Assault Squad, could not use their higher initiative (just one wound) and were annihilated
- But the next round the Genestealers came in from the flank, assaulted and destroyed them. Chaplain remained with one wound - very good so they were safe from shooting.
- Genestealers the assaulted the unit that hold their objective and got shot to pieces the following turn by two units with Flamers. Broodlord remained.
- After five turns game ended with the termagants holding their objective and the Broodlord holding the enemy objective.
- The empty Landraider couldn't reach the Tyranid objective in time. One or two rounds more and the game would have ended in a victory for the Space Marines ...
