Space Hulk: Death Angel Round 10

Phase 1: Choose Actions

• Blue - Counter Attack (Support) - 3
• Yellow - Heroic Charge (Attack) - 18
• Black - Armour of Contempt (Support) - 4B

Phase 2: Resolve Actions
1. Blue - Counter Attack (Support) - 3

• I was going to give Raziel a Support Token but they are all in use. If there are no more available Support Tokens, then you're out of luck.

2. Black - Armour of Contempt (Support) - 4B

• See above. However...
• "When defending, your Space Marines gain +1 to their roll for each Support Token on their card." This will come in handy later.

 3.  Yellow - Heroic Charge (Attack) - 18

•  Goriel (5) fires at swarm R3.

Clean hit.

Phase 3: Genestealers Attack
 It's been a while since we've had one of these.

1. The only swarm attacks Raziel. Because of the Black support action, the only way I can fail this is if I roll a 0.

I rolled a zero.

 Rather than let Raziel die (again), I spend his Support Token. I no longer have the benefit of the support card, but anything is better than death.

I am shaking my head so hard.

 Phase 4: Event Phase

I only have one swarm, so it gets shuffled into the Right Blip Pile. There are now two cards in that one.

1. The Ventilation Duct gets a Major Spawn and two Genestealers spawn there. The Right Blip Pile is now empty and travel will commence at the end of the phase.


2. There are no terrain cards which match the three orange bars, so we're good there.

3. One of the Genestealers in swarm R3 has the claw symbol so it moves up one row.








Travelling  

First, I use two of the Support Tokens on the Door card and kill the Genestealer swarm, then I discard the rest of the tokens.

The location tells me to place the Artefact card anywhere in the formation. The Artefact being what it is, I decide to put it in front of Claudio.  





Now I set up the rest of the Terrain cards.

L1 - Ventilation Duct
L3 - Corridor
L4 - Artefact

R2 - Door
R5 - Dark Corner


I just noticed this as I was finishing up this post, but the Artefact and the Corridor have the same symbol for Genestealer spawning. If I, for whatever reason, decided not to activate the Artefact an remove the card from the formation, whenever the single Green bar symbol came up for spawning, both Terrain cards would have Genestealers spawn.



That could work in my favor as I would exhaust the Left Blip Pile at a faster rate, but then again, my Space Marines would be facing larger swarms of Genestealers.
