Turn 1: Tyranids rush across the board, Ravager Titan advances and kills a Hierophant, but other two tyranid biotitans close rapidly with it and Warlords formation. One Defiler formation starts flanking around the right (top of picture), the other fails its initiative check and regroups.

Turn 2: Tyranids win strategy roll! Hydraphant rips open Ravager and follows into firefight range against Warlords formation.

2nd Hierophant assaults Warlords formation with support from Hydraphant but is killed with lucky series of criticals only killing 2 marine stands in return.

Chaos Terminators that teleported behind the enemy lines summon daemons, and kill Tyrant and Dactylis and take Tyranid Blitz objective.

Turn 3:
On the right flank a Marine Retinue, Defilers, and Hellblades manage to kill all Tyranid warriors and eliminate a swarm, taking a take and hold objective.

At Chaos Blitz, Defilers and Warlords retinue just manage to hold off firefight assault from Tyranid Warengines. Defilers get lucky with saving throws.

Game is over 2-1 to Chaos. Chaos have "Bltiz" and "Take and Hold", Tyranids have "Break their Spirit" (the Ravager).

I will crack those crabs open next time!

Had a quick look at the firefight bug, don't think it has RA so not so good as a meat shield.

Ta Mephiston. Lists were this I believe, except Malefactors were being used as Haruspex (not that they saw much combat in the end though, just soaked fire). Also it was the 9.1 Nid list, but it's up to 9.2.1 I see, and Chroma says he's updating soon.

It wasn't straight 9.1 though as we used the 5+ save for the smaller titans as per the new list.
