**********************************************************************************************************************Summary

Well that was a fun game, look like the Tyranids were going to win by a bigger score, than wants posted above. They were at end of turn three 6 points, but some nice foot work by the chosen and winning the engagement on the left flank help the  Emperor's Children, pull the score back. We stuff up on the right flank at the end and should have moved in to contest objective markers.

We will be trying the scenario next week again…
