The Moons of Valoska

THE SHORT VERSION

The Salamanders’ defensive line faces Phil Kelly’s mixed Tyranid swarm in Annihilation. Assault Terminators attack early and the Thunderfire Cannon impedes the advance, but outflanking Genestealers remove the gun and large monsters eventually break the central defence. A Carnifex destroys the Redeemer as the game ends after five turns, securing a ten-to-seven Tyranid win. Splitting Tactical squads gives the attackers additional Kill Points, a mistake identified in the later commentary.
