But before we got to that battle Gabe used his force in a normal battle (it was still a legal force) and crushed some poor IG player. This kid had no prior experience of 'nids and became Genestealer fodder. 'Stealers with 'scuttlers' is nasty!

The PlanetStrike/Apocalypse battle mission was to locate some data hidden in one of the bastions and other large buildings held by the defenders. With Gabe on the defending side I was expecting more 'stealer mayhem but he was getting tired. He didnt bring his 'stealers on until much too late.
In the meantime my largely Fast Attack based SM force had destroyed two bastions, a Land Raider and found the data.
And then it got weird. Well ok, it was already weird. The teams consisted of SM, Chaos and nids - on both sides. A most unusual set of allies. But that's not all. To win the Attackers had to get the data to a Valkyrie and fly off. To do so by the end of turn 5 involved a relay. From my Assault marines to my bikers. From the bikers to some 'nid Warriors and from the Warriors to the Valkyrie. Who then fly off into the sunset or something.
You have to love those pick up games (even organised ones) in GW shops!
