Turn 3
The Lictors appear in a position out of line of sight near the Black Rock.
Lesser Node 1 shows up in the ruined Cathedral while Lesser Node 2 appears in the scrub directly between the two forward Ork-side objectives!
Strategy Roll: Tyranids!
Assault Swarm 1 prepares to engage? but the Warriors start bickering about which Ork mob to attack and they only make a half-hearted move. (Oh my, can Australians curse!)
Blitz Brigade 1 doubles to fire on the Attack Swarm, taking out 2 Gargoyles and 2 Hormagaunts.
The Warboss lets rip with a mighty WAAAGH! and engages Assault Swarm 1. Four Grots are ground to paste and a Nob and Boy go down. The Orks pull off a narrow victory by killing 2 Termagants and a Ravener.
The Hive Tyrant counter-attacks and the Attack Swarm engages the Warboss and his Boyz? but only manages to kill 2 Grots and a Boy while losing 3 Raveners, 2 Zoanthropes, and 1 Haruspex! *OUCH* The Orks keep on cheering?
Assault Swarm 2 engages the Kult of Speed, trashing 2 Warbikes and 2 Warbuggies, but the Orks kick some chitin, taking out 2 Gargoyles, 2 Raveners, and 2 Termagants, winning the battle. The losses weigh heavily on the Orks, and they break as well.
The few survivors of Blitz Brigade 2 double to fire on Lesser Node 1, but score no hits.
Assault Swarm 3 marches forward and gets caught in the overwatch fire of Big Gunzmob 1, losing 1 Gargoyle, 1 Ravener, and 3 Termagants.
The Lictors double into the woods near Big Gunzmob 2, staying out of line of sight.
Fearing the nearby Lictors, Big Gunzmob 2 drops its overwatch and moves slightly closer to the spindly intruders? engaging them in a "6cm firefight" that wipes out the Tyranid menace!
The Stormboyz engage Assault Swarm 1 and lose 2 Death Koptas, but only the 3 Tyranid Warriors are left to hot-foot-it away from the victorious Orks.
The Hierophant doubles out of its corner, but can find no prey.
The Fighta-Bommerz dive down to strafe the Warriors of Assault Swarm 1, but do no damage.
Lesser Node 1 goes onto overwatch.
The Stompamob doubles forward to blast Assault Swarm 1 and kills 2 Tyranid Warriors.
Lesser Node 2 goes onto overwatch as well?
End of Turn:
The Kult of Speed fails to rally, though all other Ork formations do.
The Attack Swarm uses a Spore to produce 1 Zoanthrope.
Lesser Node 1 uses a Spore to also get a Zoanthrope
Lesser Node 2 produces a single Ravener.
Finally, the Hierophant regenerates 1DC.
Orks: 0 (none) vs Tyranids 0 (none)
[Looking through my pictures it seems I forgot to snap an End of Turn shot for Turn 3]
