I was stricken with a case of analysis paralysis while choosing my actions. I want to kill off that huge swarm but unless I have all of my Space Marines attack this round, I won't be able to. I do not want to have a round where no one attacks anymore.
Phase 1: Choose Actions
- Blue - Lead By Example (Attack) -13
- Yellow - Reorganize (Move+Activate) - 9
- Black - Traumatic Blow (Attack) - 16B
Phase 2: Resolve Actions
1. Yellow - Reorganize (Move+Activate) - 9
- Claudio (1) will move one space down.
- Goriel (3) will move one space down and activates the Promethium Tank.
I was hoping to save this in case a massive swarm of Genestealers appeared, but by activating the tank, I rid myself of one Genestealer and one spawning point. In a sense, all squads were able to attack this round. Now to see if Goriel survives.
 |
| Goriel jumps out of the way of the blast! |
2. Blue - Lead By Example (Attack) -13
 |
| Lorenzo attacks swarm L3 and rolls a skull, killing 1 Genestealer. |
"When 1 of your Space Marines slays a Genestealer, you may place 1 Support Token on any Space Marine (limit once per round)." Deino gets 1 Support Token.
 |
| Deino fires at swarm R3 and misses. |
|
|
I spend Deino's Support Token to get another shot.
 |
| Deino steadies his hand and rids the universe of 1 Genestealer. |
3. Black - Traumatic Blow (Attack) - 16B
 |
| Metraen takes aim at swarm L3 and rolls a miss with a 5. |
However, I'm going to spend a Support Token and reroll.
 |
| Right into the Genestealer's ugly mug. |
|
|
Phase 3: Genestealers Attack
- Swarm L3 (Strength 2) attacks Lorenzo
 |
| Lorenzo pushes back the swarm. |
I was regretting the fact that I gave the Support Token on Deino and not Lorenzo, but now no Support Token will save Lorenzo if he fails his next roll.
- Swarm R3 (Strength 2) attacks Lorenzo
 |
| Sergeant Lorenzo is dragged into the darkness of the Space Hulk. |
|
Shifting
The smaller portion of the formation is shifted but since both sides are equal, the bottom portion is the one that gets shifted up.
I wanted some space between the two Yellow Space Marines, so this will cause me some difficulties in the next round.
Phase 4: Event Phase
I choose Claudio (Y2) to receive all of the Support Tokens. He's dreamy.
- The Ventilation Duct gets a Major Spawn and the swarm R3 gets 2 stronger.
- The Door has a Minor Spawn and swarm L3 receives 1 Genestealer.
- Swarm R3 has a head symbol so it moves up 1 space and is now R2.
Well that went terribly wrong. I've lost Lorenzo and now Brother Claudio, whom I consider to be my best weapon, is flanked by a swarm with a strength of 4. I may end up sacrificing a Space Marine to save Claudio.
