I finally painted some Tyranids

I finally got some time to do some painting (first time this year) and was able to get about half my Tyranid army covered in read and black. I was also able to finish off my Hive Tyrant and Zoanthropes.

Ultramarine Battle Report My first game of 10th Edition 40k.  I have attempted to do this as a slightly more descriptive report rather than a precise blow by blow account of the game.  That said I am sure we made some mistakes ( such as first turn rapid ingress from the Death Company ).

It does not leave a lot of points for anything else. Swarm - The goal here is to have one hundred little bugs swarm the opponent and overwhelm them with more models than they can destroy.

It took a couple of hours to row around the headland to the vessel.  Much of the ship was damaged and rigging was hanging over the site making it easy to climb onto the deck.  Cautiously opening the first door And...
