Week 3 Results: The Perfect Swarm Mega Battle!

Week 3 Results: The Perfect Swarm Mega Battle!

On the sundered, corpse strewn landscape of New Horizon, the lords of war did clash! Bringing forth huge beasts of destruction the Tyranid Splinter Fleets besieged the defenders in a last ditch effort to secure a hold upon the embattled world. Gargantuan and monstrous creatures battered the defenders who held on to each inch of terrain with fierce tenacity. In the end the Tyranids were able to eke out a minor victory by the slim margin of a single objective. And what of New Horizon? The world's fate is as yet undecided, but with this victory the Tyranids are able to secure enough biomass to continue the siege and now a shadow of dread looms over the Emperor's Hope system.
