Mission: Cleanse the Nest

THE SHORT VERSION

Space Marines including Tyrannic War Veterans raid a spawning pool concealed inside the Tyranid deployment area. Shooting cannot destroy the target: a non-vehicle model must assault it, remain in contact through its following Assault phase and release a mutagenic bomb. Both sides have Sustained Attack, but their returning troops enter from different edges; the defenders also use Hidden Set-up. The fixed six-turn limit rewards a concentrated assault rather than merely inflicting casualties.
