_________________________________________________________________________________
After introducing the armies and rolling for sides, Warlord Traits were rolled for.
Necrons rolled a 5, which gave Feel No Pain to the Warlord and his/her unit.
Tyranids rolled a 6, which also gave the Warlord and his unit Feel No Pain.
Tyranids then rolled for Psychic Abilities. The results were as follows:
Primaris: Domination (Gives an additional 6" to a unit's Synapse range.)
2: The Horror (Forces an enemy unit to take a pinning test at -2 Leadership. 24" range.)
_________________________________________________________________________________
Tyranids won the roll and decided to deploy first.
The Tervigon was deployed behind cover in the middle of the table, with the 2 Hive Guard in the same ruins to protect it. The Hormagaunt brood was placed to the left of the aforementioned ruins.
Necrons was next to deploy.
The Destroyer Lord was attached to the unit of 5 Praetorians and placed behind the ruins in the middle of the table. The unit of 5 Deathmarks was positioned in the same ruins, directly opposite the Hive Guard.
After both sides finished their deployment, the Genestealers were placed. (Infiltrate rule).
The Genestealers were placed to the left of the Necron force, hidden from their sight.
Having finished deployment, the Necrons tried to Steal the Initiative but failed.

Tyranids Turn 1
The Movement phase of turn 1 saw the Hormagaunt brood and the Genestealer brood move 6" towards the Necron force. At the end of the phase, the Tervigon rolled and spawned 8 Termagants.
During the Psychic phase, the Broodlord casted The Horror on the unit of Deathmarks, forcing them to take a Leadership test at -2 Leadership. The Deathmarks failed the test and were pinned as a result. The Tervigon then successfully casted Domination, increasing its synapse range by another 6", allowing the Hormagaunts to be within range of its Leadership bubble.
In the Shooting phase, the Hormagaunts ran 6", the Genestealers ran 5" and the newly spawned Termagants ran 1". The Hive Guard fired at the Praetorian squad but failed to hit anything.
Necrons Turn 1
The Destroyer Lord and his unit of Praetorians moved 6" out of cover, towards the Genestealer brood.
The Praetorians proceeded to open fire at the Genestealers with their Rods of Covenant, but failed to wound any of them. The Deathmarks fired at the Tervigon and managed to roll 1 wound, which was successfully saved.
In the Assault phase, the Praetorians declared a charge against the Genestealers, who have no overwatch rolls. The charge was successful and the Praetorians entered close combat. Before any blood was spilled, the Destroyer Lord issued a challenge to the Broodlord, who accepted. As the Destroyer Lord and his Praetorians are considered jump infantry, they were allowed to make Hammer of Wrath hits against the Broodlord and the Genestealers. The Hammer of Wrath from the Destroyer Lord dealt 1 wound to the Broodlord, while the Hammer of Wrath hits from the Praetorians successfully killed 2 Genestealers. During the challenge, the Broodlord dealt 1 wound to the
Destroyer Lord, but ended up getting killed. The Praetorians suffered 1 casualty due to the Rending Claws of the Genestealers, who were swiftly wiped out. The Praetorians consolidated 1".
Tyranids Turn 2
Due to difficult terrain, the Hormagaunts only managed to advance 4" and the Termagants advanced 5". The Tervigon rolled successfully and spawned 11 more Termagants (Referred to as "the second brood").
In the Psychic phase, the Tervigon attempted to cast Domination, but failed.
Using the Shooting phase to advance, the Hormagaunts ran 8", the first brood of Termagants ran 4" and the second brood ran 1". Once again, the Hive Guard fired into the Deathmarks, but failed to wound them.
Necrons Turn 2
The Necrons used the Movement phase to get 6" closer to the Hormagaunts.
The Deathmarks fired all their shots at the Tervigon, which they could see through a window, managing to inflict 2 wounds.
The Praetorians declared a charge against the Hormagaunts, who were not able to make overwatch shots as they had not ranged weapons. After a successful roll, the Praetorians were in battle once more. Having a higher initiative, the Hormagaunts struck first and managed to down 2 Praetorians. The Praetorians quickly fought back, killing 5 Hormagaunts. As the Hormagaunts were not within the Tervigon's Synapse range, they fled 9". After the battle, the Necrons attempted a Reanimation Protocol on the fallen Praetorians, but failed. They then consolidated 1".
Tyranids Turn 3
The Hormagaunts, who were in the Tervigon's Synapse range, rallied and consolidated 3". Once again, the Tervigon attempted to spawn Termagants and succeeded, spawning 9 (Referred to as "the third brood").
During the Psychic phase, the Tervigon successfully casted Domination.
The Hive Guard took the first shots at the Praetorians, but failed to wound them. The first brood of Termagants opened fire at the Praetorians as well but like the Hive Guard, failed to wound them. Hoping to deal at least 1 wound, the second brood of Termagants shot at the Praetorians. Amazingly, no wounds were dealt. Seeing all of the shots inspired the third brood of Termagants and made them run forward 4".
Necrons Turn 3
The Praetorians moved 6" towards the Hormagaunt brood, seeking revenge for their fallen brethren.
Before charging at them, the Praetorians fired their Rods of Covenant at the Hormagants but did not manage to kill any of them. The Deathmarks shot at the Hormagaunt brood in an attempt to help the Praetorians and managed to kill 2.
The Praetorians charged the Hormagaunts and killed 3 of them with their Hammer of Wrath hits. As the Hormagaunts have a higher initiative, they struck first and killed 1 Praetorian. The Praetorians then struck back, finishing off the Hormagaunt brood. They consolidated 2". After consolidating, the Necrons attempted their Reanimation Protocol and succeeded, bringing back the Praetorian that had fallen in the last round of combat.
Tyranids Turn 4
In the Movement phase, all 3 Termagant brood moved 6" forward. The Tervigon spawned 14 more Termagants (Referred to as "the fourth brood") before running out of larvae, rendering it unable to spawn anymore Termagants for the remainder of the game.
The Hive Guard, the first brood and the second brood of Termagants shot the Praetorians, but failed to deal any wounds. Being out of range, the third brood of Termagants ran 5" forwards.
The first brood of Termagants charged at the Praetorians, who failed their overwatch. Seeing their kin rush into battle, the second brood charged into the Praetorians as well. Due to their overwhelming amount of attacks, the Praetorians and the Destroyer Lord were slain. However, the Destroyer Lord's Reanimation Protocol was successful and he got back up, next to the Termagants.
Necrons Turn 4
Afraid of being run down by the Termagants, the Destroyer Lord ran 12" away.
To ensure the Destroyer Lord's escape, the Deathmarks fired at the Termagants and killed 2 of them.
Unfortunately, the players ran out of time, ending the battle at the end of Necrons turn 4.
An Epic Handshake was made and the battle was over.
