The defenders comprised of 2 units of cultists with autoguns and the machine gun upgrade, a unit of zombies, a daemon prince with wings and mark of slaneesh and a chaos raptor with twinlinked lightning claws mark of slaneesh aswell as meltagun. The enemy consisted of hive tyrant with heavy venom cannon, broodlord, 2 or 3 genestealers, 2 units of homagaunts, unit of gargoyles, warrior with death spitter, and I think that was i. I deployed my cultists on top of my base my zombies in some area of terrain rocky environment on my right flank and my daemon prince on my left behind a wall. My raptor stayed in reserve to come in via deepstrike.
One squad of cultists left the base climbing down and walking out into the open they kept the nids at bay and managed to bounce a few assualts by homagaunts (termies standing in for homagaunts) even though they were not hand to hand profecient they seemed blessed by their tainted gods.
The Daemon prince (primed black mini shown here) flew across the battlefield attacking groups of tyranids but got bogged down by overwhelming numbers and retreated then seeing a flock of gargoyles heading for the chaos stronghold he turned back wheeling around on his wings and sword over to engage them aerially. He did not kill any but managed to ground them stunning one and smashing another against the wall as it tried to fly over.
The chaos raptor with his melta pistols inbuilt to his lightning claws expertly deep striked firing his melta at the tyranid hive tyrant in a gambit to weaken the assual from behind the enemies lines. He hit the tyrant square in the back but must have been too far away as the chitin mearly crisped with an awful stench.
In all the confusion the chaos didn't notice or were unable to stop the tyranid warrior breaking through the outer perimeter and heading for the base, he was close to his objective.
The raptor tried firing at the tyrant(large black broodlord proxy) and failed to kill him again but then assualted later and was killed in the attempt. The tyranid rushed the base but were held back by the cultists with a barrage of gunfire. The daemon prince game to the aid of the cultists and killed the broodlord.
At the end of turn 4 the nids had overwhelmed the defenders but it was a close call!Lotsoffun
