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.

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