Space Hulk: Death Angel Round 3

Just for clarification, the "Upon Entering" location ability is resolved after the setup for the new location is done. While Brother Metraen might have 4 Genestealers in his face, there are now two less cards in the left Blip Pile. I do have a plan that should keep Metraen alive, so fingers crossed.

Phase 1: Choose Actions

  • Blue- Intimidation (Move+Activate) -11
  • Yellow - Defensive Stance (Support) - 2
  • Black - Armour of Contempt (Support) - 4B

Phase 2: Resolve Actions

1. Yellow - Defensive Stance (Support) - 2
  • Yellow team is going to sit pretty and give a support token to Metraen
2.  Black - Armour of Contempt (Support) - 4B
  • Metraen gains a support token, bringing his total to 3.
  • "When defending, your Space Marines gain +1 to their roll for each Support Token on their card." This is important for the Genestealer attack phase.
3.  Blue- Intimidation (Move+Activate) -11
  • Lorenzo is going to activate the door and place a support token on it.
Phase 3: Genestealers Attack
  • Swarm L2 (Strength 4) attacks Metraen ; Metraen rolls a 5 + 3 for those support tokens. Success!
  • Swarm R2 (Strength 1) attacks Metraen; Metraen rolls a 2 + 3 for those support tokens. Metraen lives to fight another round.


Phase 4: Event Phase

Metraen is the only one engaged with Genestealers so I discard 1 Support Token and 1 Genestealer.

The Promethium Tank gets a Minor Spawn of 1 Genestealer and the Ventilation Duct receives a Major Spawn of 2 Genestealers.

Next, Genestealer movement for cards with the Tail symbol.
  1. Swarm L2 moves down to row 3.
Round 3 complete!
 All in all I think this round went splendidly well. Metraen survived and now the right Blip Pile only has 3 Genestealer cards in it. We might make it into third location yet. The biggest problem right now is that giant Genestealer swarm in L3. If Claudio was closer, I could shrink it's size, but there's no chance for me to attack it next turn. We'll see what happens next round.
