Following the unexpected uprising of a deeply embedded Genestealer Cult in Stiria, Astra Militarum forces were quickly diverted to meet this new threat. The Mission Eternal dispatched a major strike force in support. When sensor scans discovered a fully developed Tyranid breeding ground, the Space Marines attacked and met a defense maniple of highly developed synapse creatures. This incursion was clearly more serious, and deeper embedded than anticipated.

Debriefing: 2000 points appears to be a good size for the Bastion task force, which relies on a strong core of Battleline units, as well as fearsome damage dealers. I will fine-tune this army further - overall, I‘m happy with it.

I think I made no serious mistakes in this game (although my concentration lapsed, and I could probably have eked a few more VPs out). I will familiarise myself better with the profiles of the units I take more rarely, though.
