Turn 7: The Front Lines[
Combat Initiated: Tyranid Forces vs. Hell Runner's, and PDF Remnants]
Right from the start one of war Tyranid Warrior dashes across the field, and leaps at the Sentinel before it can react. Its claws fly through the air, and strike at the hulking construction of metal, and wires. Most of its attacks just glance off, but one of its strikes hits the Sentinel's leg joint, and deals some serious damage to the machine.
The Sentinel kicks out with its foot, and pushes the Warrior back before opening up a burst of Laser fire right into the things chest. It falls to the ground for a moment in intense pain, but slowly gets back to its feet to try, and finish the job.

The
Shining Guard seeing the Sentinels near-crippling wound direct their fire upon the Tyranid Warrior. Much of the fire they let loose barely misses the Warrior as we begins to weave about in the hopes of dodging it, but just as the last of the guardsmen finish firing it drops its guard. Velius uses this opening, and quickly blasts the beast twice with his laspistols, and it jumps back from the searing pain. Moments later it falls to the ground a defeated lump.

The
Imperial Grace's vox cuts on as you scream orders for them to aim for the Tyranid Warriors with all its got. In response its weapons flare to life, and bolter fire flies through the air towards the Warriors in blankets. None of the bolter fire finds its mark, but the suppressive fire forces a pair of the Warriors into the way of your Battle Cannon, and they become little more then a smudge underneath impact.

Your southern Heavy Bolter comes to life in moments, and a hail of bullets streaks towards an Impaler Brood. The majority of the fire kills the leading Gaunts, and those that remain are unscathed from the fire, but are left a little shaken from the attack. Their advance slows, and their reactions falter a bit as the Warriors try to nudge them back into action.

Your five-man squad opens fire from their high perch in the ruined building. They choose one of the Impaler Broods as their targets, and after several moments all of the men have their weapons readied for the volley of fire. The air heats up slightly, and quickly lights up as the volley of las fire punches into the side of the Impaler Brood. Over half of the Brood goes down under your volley, and those that remain turn for a return volley of their own.
The three remaining Gaunts open fire with their rifles, but their aim is extremely poor, and all the shots miss going off into the distance far from their target.

Your northern Heavy Bolter comes under fire as an Impaler Brood decides to use them as target practice. The spikes bounce harmlessly off the surrounding plates, and Aegis Defences before falling to the ground. In response your Bolter plans to return fire, but are to slow as the Brood quickly moves to a position your men can't match.

The other two Sentinels open fire on an Impaler Brood in the hopes of thinning the enemies numbers as quickly as possible. Their combined fire takes down three of the Gaunts, and breaks the Brood's morale. They begin to panic, and the only thing keeping them in place is the larger Tyranid Warriors egging them on.
The remaining Gaunts return fire, but their weapons aren't able to do anything more then scratch the Sentinels armor.

Another Tyranid Warrior launches itself into the battle, and assails
Hell's Hammer its claws are lethal weapons as it launches into the midst of the squad. Striking left, and right it slices two of the guardsmen in half, and the others barely manage to escape its attack range in time to dodge the rest of them. Using the small opening they have the two remaining guardsmen quickly fire a burst of las fire right into its back before retreating.

The pairs of Guardsmen you garrisoned in the buildings open fire on a single target to lay them in a cross-fire in the hopes of halting their advance. Their fire forces the Impaler Brood to try, and take cover in what is more, or less an open field. Half of the Gaunts fall beneath the barrage of fire, and the other half is left broken and cowering.
they attempt to launch a counter-attack, but the group is to broken, and disorganized to really do anything against you.

Another Impaler Brood divides its fire among the two Guard Pairs taking cover behind the Aegis. Their aim rings true, and all four guardsmen fall to the ground with deep wounds somewhere on them. You try to get intouch, but they don't reply, and you have the feeling they must have fallen unconscious.

The last remaining Impaler Broods focus their fire on the Central Bolter. Most of the shots ping off the plating, or bury themselves in the wall of the building, but some of them find their mark as the Loader takes a shot to the shoulder, and falls over dead. They laugh aloud, and do some form of small dance before continuing their advance.

The last of the first wave calms down as the Hell Runners break away from the fight, and draw back within the Aegis Defence Line. The hole is quickly sealed, and your men hunker down for the next attack from the Tyranids. The Hell Runners lost some good men in the first wave, and are currently dragging their bodies back to the Makeshift Hospital for burial later on. This is it, the enemy arrays before you with their numbers depleted slightly, but they are still strong, and you mustn't underestimate them.
Turn 7: Makeshift HospitalYou walk into a dimly lit area filled with sick, injured, and dying soldiers all around. Above you is a piece of canvas stretched between the Chimera forming a hasty Hospital Tent for all of the wounded soldiers. A few medics rush around here, and there, but there are no where near enough with this level of supplies, and you know many of these men will die without your help. You walk over to the Lead Medic, and he gives a quick nod in your direction, and then continues browsing through his small stack of medical supplies.
You reach down, and pat him on the shoulder as you say "We have some medical supplies to spare in the building just south of here, you can take those to help your men." His eyes brighten at the words, and he runs off mumbling his thanks to you, and the thanking the God-Emperor for his kindness. You have a feeling that you saved at least one life this day, and know the
Hell Runners will be all the kinder for it.
