Battle Report Dark Eldar VS Tyranids

At our FLGS we are having a tournament this Saturday, 1250 pts a wierd sort of team tournament but were teams go 1-on-1 versus another team and each team takes the highest scorethey would earn.

Anyways I wont be going to the tournament but I thought I would help others prepare.
Her list was a Lash Whip Bonesword Tyrant with regen, Heavy Venom Cannon and 2 guard, 4 Warriors with Deathspitters and Scything Talons, Trygon Prime with regen, and finally 2 squads of 7ish Genestealers plus Broodlords.

My list 4 10-man Raider squads Blaster and Dark Lance, maybe night sheilds I don't remember. 10-man wyche squad with 2 Blasters and Succubus with Agoniser in a raider, 2 Talos, and for my HQ a Reaver Haemonculus with Destructor,Scizzorhand, Combat Drugs, and Shadowfield.

We had Capture and Control, Spearhead (I know everybody's favorite), I won first turn and chose to deploy everything but my Raider squads. Haemonculus to the left flank the Talos up the center as close as possible to her deployment zone and wyches in the middle of my depoloyment zone. She Deployed Warriors in cover by her objective, Tyrant and guard lined up opposite of Talos, and the Trygon on the my right flank. She failed the Seize roll and it was my turn.

Turn 1 I move my wyche raider foward and wound the Trygon with my Dark Lance on the Raider, the talos place one wound on guard with the sting Haemonculus turbo boosted along left to try to get in position to go after the warriors. Her Turn she exploded the rader takning half of the wyches with it they were not pinned but ate the fire from the Trygon Prime, and the Tyrant and Guard moved foward.

Turn 2, 2 of my Raiders arrived from Reserve I placed one on each flank and placed another two wounds on the Trygon Prime, Talos landed a wound on the tyrant with the sting. Neither Genestealer Unit came on. Her turn she failed to do anything in shooting and then assaulted the closest talos with Tyrant killing it, and consolidating towards my other Talos. Talos are now 1-1 Vs the new Tyrants With Lash Whips 3-2-1 overall against Hive Tyrants.

Turn 3 Another Raider came on my Deployment Zone. Now I had 2 Raiders on that flank each with a Dark Lance in the Squad and on the Raider and a Blaster in the squad. Now that my blasters were in range of The Trygon Prime it fell form the mass of Str 8 AP 2 fire. My Talos Charged the Hive Tyrant killed of a guard and wounded the other and my haemonculus charged the Warriors. The warriors were unable to leave a wound because of the toughness 5 and 2+ Invulnerable Save and in return the Haemy did 5 wounds and 3 stuck after saves combined from the destructor wound and fearless wounds 1 warrior was dead and 1 had a single wound left while 2 remained unscathed.

Her Turn 3 The Genestealers came on assaluted and killed the Two raiders on my left flank I didnot mind cause I left them there stationary to try to kill the Monstrous Creatures. (and they lost more guys in the explosions than I did.) Talos killed the othe Tyrant guard, and the Haemy now going at even initive did a couple wounds and took one in retun losing the 2+ Invuln save still winning combat and forcing another fearless wound.

After this it gets a little fuzzy but I remember I won 2-0 My talos killed the Tyrand for a grand total of 4-2-1 against Hive Tyrants! All but a Genestealer and BroodLord was killed for her and I had moved flatout with one of my Raiders in to the terrain by her objective claiming it and passing the Dangerous Check and I had a Raider on my Objective as well we decided not to go past turn 5 since 2 infantry at least 24" away from both objectives could make a difference.
