40K batrep - Apocalypse - 5000 pts/side side Space Marines vs Tyranid - Part 1

This is the first part of the Third Apocalypse battle between Space Marines and Tyranids. The First two battles were between Black Templars and Tyranids. After talking with the Tyranid player, he agreed to let me switch to using my Maltese Crosse chapter. Effectively Black Templar paint scheme but have the same pros/cons of Imperial Fists. I can post the fluff about them, but basically.... until I learned how to play a Black Templar army, I collected Black Templar but played them like a typical space marines chapter. So, I returned to my roots for this last battle in the summer '08 Apocalypse Trilogy. Hope you enjoy...

Side note, I ran out of space marine bolt gunners... now I'm looking forward to the 5th edition starter set to come out.

i don't get why you make your own? im confused...

[doremicom]

@sutton123454 This video went up 3 years ago. Most of the Apoc stuff was Forgeworld only and incredibly expensive. This includes the Trygon.

[sutton123454]

@doremicom ohh makes sense, i'm new to the game so i don't know! lol

[doremicom]

@sutton123454 I'm glad you ask the questions. I get some people who just comment how much they can't stand it when people scratch build non-forgeworld models..... but the models they reference did not even exist at the time of filming.

[COMMANDERDUCK98]

why did you call the squad of lightning fighters 'the multis cross'

[doremicom]

actually the chapter is called the maltese Crosse. The reason is that we wanted to play an apoc game where I was not templars. So I used (then current Space MArine Codex - 4th ed) and created my own chapter called the maltese crosse, while still using my BT. The symbol on the BT shoulder pad is a maltese crosse. Hope that answers the question.

lol u named the bio titan bridget? thats pretty funny

[sutton123454]

@doremicom yeah, atleast you answer on your video's! i'm new so when i ask questions i like that they are answered so i know, this Warhammer game is confusing at times lol

[doremicom]

Oh and I didn't have an issue with his scratch built trygons.

[doremicom]

My opponent knew I was building scratch build fighters and planning on using them in a game. We discussed it ahead of time.
