Chaos Space Marines devoured by the Open Valley Swarm

Again we played a 2000 points Total War Mission. RG's Chaos Space Marines went first but where overwhelmed by the sheer number of 5 monstrous creatures and lots of little bugs. The two Tervigons managed to spawn over 40 Termagants.

Chaos brought the following
- General with demonic weapon
- Great Demon
- 10 Khorne Berserkers
- 2x 10 Plague Marines + Rhino
- 5 Chosen Chaos Space Marines + Rhino
- Land Raider
- Vindicator
- 3 Oblitorators

The Tyrannic swarm consisted of:
- Hive Tyrant
- Tervigon (HQ)
- 2x 2 Hive Guard
- Doom with Spore
- 12 Devilgaunts
- Tervigon (Troops)
- 2x 8 Symbionts with Symbiarch
- 14 Hormagaunts with Toxin
- 2 Trygons

Key to victory were the massive pawning of Termagants and getting Paroxysm on the Khorne Berserkers plus General.

Orks won against Tyranids

We played the "Total War Mission" which provided a nice change to the usual missions in the rule book.

In this 2000 points game my Tyranids lost again against RG's Orks. I took no photos and I don't even know which list I used. Two details I can remember. One is that the Parasite managed to generate 6 Ripper bases - nice! Two is that the Orks failed a lot of leadership tests to the soul sucking of the Doom

My list was probably something like:
- Parasite
- Winged Hive Tyrant
- 2 Venomthopes
- Doom in Spore
- 12 Termagants Devourers
15 Hormagaunts
- Tervigon
- 2x 8 Symbionts with Symbiarch
-2 Trygons

Highlight for the Orks was that the Snootzoga obliterated the Winged Hive Tyrant with a roll of a 12 which means it was sucked into the warp ...
