By this point as you can clearly see his Tyranids completely destroyed my plans to claim his objective. Where I started with 31 Genestealers and a Broodlord, I was only left with the Broodlord who had taken 2 wounds already fighting the renegade genestealer squad. The tides of war had greatly turned in his favor, in the turns that followed this would not change much as I left it to luck to provide me with some genestealers to fight back with. Unfortunately luck was not on my side my genestealer backup outflanked from the other side of the board. I set 2 of 3 units on his left side of the board to try to desperately fight my way through his zoanthrope and gaunts that were making their way to my objective and use the momentum to take down those Barbed Strangler fexes, meanwhile using my carnifexes to rush towards his objective in an effort to contest it. My remaining genestealer unit I used to secure my own objective which I placed on that exact corner for this exact purpose of easily capturing it with an outflanking unit.

This battle I had forseen to be a 100% draw-game. And perhaps it was my opponent's poor tactics or great ambition that lost him the game. As he rushed all his forces to stop my carnifexes from advancing he left his objective (maybe he forgot about the objective? I have no idea) in the end I won the game because he did not secure his after a 6 turn game.

Oh and his Tyrant schooled 2 elite fexes at once. and THEY charged HIM! I have now learned that Tyrant w/Implant Attack > Carnifex. A lesson well learned.

After I won that game he decided to challenge me to another game same armies different terrain, this time it was very open excellent for a shooty army (which is what he had). However I had now a great deal of knowledge about his army having played against it once before, and so my strategy was more on point this time around. I went straight for objectives this time not taking any risks and nearly wiped him out towards the end as I assaulted my way through everything and hugged the edges of the board.
