Round four kicked off with my Saim-Hann defending one of my territories against two huge hormagaunt swarms led by three warriors. Mission was take and hold with me planning to shield my jetbikes from being assaulted with my vypers while concentrating all my shots on the warriors to disrupt synapse.
I deployed the full 12” forward since I wanted to get all my shuriken catapults into range on the first turn and this almost proved fatal had we both deployed head on rather then on a diagonal. Tyranids took first turn moving six, fleeting six, and with the 12” assault range were just an inch or so short of assaulting me. Saim-Hann first turn had my vypers flanking to the right as my jetbikes moved into range with everything planning to target the warriors. I was feeling pretty confident until my vypers shot at the warriors- 2 scatter lasers, 1 star cannon, and 3 shuriken cannons = 1 warrior dead. Such a horrible round of shooting had me sweating it out since gaunts would now be able to assault me no matter what with their speed. Stepping up with my jetbike shuriken cannons I made up with some amazing rolling dropping the other two warriors.
Moving into turn two the gaunts failed their leadership and fell back 3d6 of the board securing a victory and retaining my territory for the Saim-Hann.
