Tyranids vs Space Wolves Campaign - Game 7

GAME 7 - MATRICIDE

 

The nerve centre of the Tyranid invasion force has been breached! The Norn Queen calls her children to defend her inner sanctum, as the fate of the Hive Nest is decided in the cold darkness of her subterranean lair…

SET-UP:

The Tyranid player places D3+2 pieces of terrain in each 2’ x 4’ section of the board.

The Imperial player then chooses board edge and deployment type.

After board edge and deployment type have been decided but before deployment itself begins, the Tyranid player should place a suitably grotesque and sizeable model to represent the Norn Queen in open ground (replacing a piece of terrain if necessary). The Norn Queen model may be placed anywhere on the table, outside of the Imperial player’s deployment zone.  

ARMY CONSTRUCTION & RESTRICTIONS:

The Norn Queen costs 200pts (and must be taken by the Tyranid player!). She has the following profile:

WS: 4   BS: 4    S: 6      T: 8       W: 8     I: 1        A: 4      Ld: 10   Sv. 2+ / 3++

Special Rules:

Psychic Shield: The Norn Queen has a 3+ invulnerable save and has the shrouded special rule.

Immobile Creature: The Norn Queen cannot move, run, charge, consolidate or make sweeping advances (or otherwise move, or be moved, for any reason!).

Psyker (mastery level 3). Powers are drawn from the Tyranid powers.

Shadow in the Warp. 

Synapse Creature (24”). 

Wargear:

Scything Talons. 

OBJECTIVES & VICTORY CONDITIONS:

Primary Objective (20pts):

The Imperial player wins the campaign by killing the Norn Queen.

The Tyranid player wins the campaign by preventing this from happening.

Tyranids vs Space Wolves Campaign - Game 6

GAME 6 – THE INNER SANCTUM

Having neutralised the alien breeding ground, the scouts of the Imperial forces discover the location of the Tyranid Norn Queen, deep underground, far below the surface of the tortured planet. Following the Scouts’ beacon, the main Imperial force thrusts a spear-tip forward through the Tyranid masses that defend the tunnel entrances to the Queen’s subterranean inner sanctum…

SET-UP:

The Tyranid player places D3+2 pieces of terrain per 2’x4’ section of the board.  

The Imperial player then chooses deployment type and board edge.

After board edge and deployment type have been decided but before deployment itself begins, the Tyranid player should place a 3” x 3” tunnel marker representing the entrance to the Norn Queen’s underground lair. This tunnel marker should be placed in open ground (replace a piece of terrain if necessary). 

OBJECTIVES & VICTORY CONDITIONS:

Primary Objective (10pts):

The Imperial Player wins by exiting at least 25% of his starting forces via the tunnel entrance. Units may exit the board by getting every model in the unit into base-to-base contact with, or onto the top of, the tunnel marker.

The Tyranid player wins by preventing this.

Secondary Objective (7pts):

‘Modified’ Maelstrom Cards (see Caledonian Uprising 2015 rules pack – thanks, Tim King!)

Tertiary Objectives:

First Strike (1pt)
Slay the Warlord (1pt)
Line Breaker (1pt) 

(NOTE: Tabling your opponent automatically gives the winner a 20-0 victory!).

OUTCOMES & BONUSES:

If the Imperial player wins, he may choose up to three units in the next game to receive the infiltrate or scout special rules.

If the Tyranid player wins, he gains an optional +2 to the roll to determine who gets first turn in the next game, and may re-roll the dice to seize the initiative (if he so chooses).  

Tyranids vs Space Wolves Campaign - Game 5

GAME 5 - EXTERMINATION

The alien breeding ground has been discovered! During the scouring of the Tyranid back lines, a macabre grotto of alien eggs has been uncovered. If this source of new Tyranid bio-forms can be neutralised, the invasion will be dealt a killer blow. The Imperial forces push all their resources into exterminating this foul nest of xenos beasts….

SET UP: 

Place 6 large alien eggs in the middle 2’ x 4’ of the table. No other terrain is placed in this section.

The Tyranid player then places D3+2 pieces of terrain in the other two 2’ x 4’ sections.

Hammer & anvil deployment.

ARMY CONSTRUCTION & RESTRICTIONS:

None

OBJECTIVES & VICTORY CONDITIONS:

Primary Objective (10pts):

The Imperial player wins if he can destroy Four or more eggs.

The Tyranid player wins if he prevents this. 

Each egg is Toughness 8, has 4 wounds and a 2+ armour save.

Secondary Objective (7pts):

‘Modified’ Maelstrom Cards

Tertiary Objectives:

First Strike (1pt)
Slay the Warlord (1pt)
Line Breaker (1pt)

(NOTE: Tabling your opponent automatically gives the winner a 20-0 victory!).

OUTCOMES & BONUSES:

If the Tyranid player wins, he may 'recycle' one Troops unit in the next game. In that game, if a unit of Troops (but not a Tervigon!) is completely destroyed, the Tyranid player may, if he chooses, choose to place an identical unit (including any wargear or other options) at the start of the next game, as though they had arrived from ongoing reserves. 

If the Space Wolves player wins, he may choose one Tyranid unit in the next game. The Space Wolf player can choose to force this unit to start in reserve. Further, this unit arrives on a reserves roll of a 4+, rather than the usual 3+ (modifiers can still be applied, as normal).
