As the Skitarii venture into the space illuminated by phosphorescent glow radiating from the walls and ceiling. Suddenly the chittering sounds of a recognizable foe, the despised Xenos Tyranids!
Hormagaunts and Genestealers are swarming up the sides of the various pits in the cavern. and attacking the Skitarii..
Yet another group rising up from the depths...
Even as they gun down numerous Tyranids, additional creatures replace the dead...
Assistance finally arrives as Terminators push towards the cavern...
The Skitarii Marshal (left center) has taking a wound has the Terminators arrive...
The Captain and fellow Brother charge into the Tyranids, striking down many. What will turn out to be critical to this story is becoming apparent to the second Brother who was returned from stasis. His memory of why he was placed into that state is being restored...
s the struggle continues, the Navy Breachers locate a second entrance into the cavern. But this will not turn out to be such a great move...
Fewer of the Skitarii still stand against their enemy...
The first Brother goes down!
And now the Captain himself is swarmed and surrounded. Disaster approaching?
But he is a Captain for a reason, a tremendous fighter. He lays low numerous feared Genestealers...
The Skitarii Marshal is successful as well...
The Brother now remembers; 'its a trap Captain. We must get and return to our ship. the ships are being attacked!'
Another Skitarii goes down. Its looking very grim for the Mechanicus...
The Genestealers are making the Breachers pay for their overly aggressive moves...
With losses mounting, the Breachers are finally able to remove themselves from the corridor, and the Terminators move in...
As his last Skitarii is lost, the Marshal holds his ground...
The Captain and his Brother have cleared their area only to have Ripper Swarms rise up, attack and wound the Captain!(who nows has two wounds)...
At the second entryway, the Terminators are making swift work of the Tyranids there...
But now a new enemy arises from the pits...Tyranid Warriors armed with ranged Bioweapons! (Those of you who play 40k may not recognize the original Warrior miniature here)
Additionally, facing the Captain,(who at least has eliminated those pesky Ripper Swarms), Termagaunts also with ranged weaponry make their appearance...
But even worse now occurs. The answer to those mysterious tunnels is now answered as more Tyranids appear to the rear. The Magos had just arrived (center right) with news of the attacks on the ships by Tyranid Bio Ships that are detaching from the Hulk!
The view taken from the Terminator's POV into the cavern...
At this point, here is the overhead view of the cavern with the Captain and Marshal at the top...
To be continued...
