First things first, sorry for the long wait, I've been spending the last 2 weeks in an office doing officy things, it was pretty fun, but here's turn 1

In case you forgot, please only open the spoiler with your name above it.
(I'm combining the spoilers of the 3 Phalek empire teams because they are all in eachothers sight for the entirety of the turn.)

A team, B team, Phalek and Security Officer
Spoiler

B team advances towards the machine gun.

Image
A team prepares to unleash hell on an inanimate object.

Image
The grenade launcher wielding trooper launches a grenade from his grenade launcher.

Image
It misses slightly, but still damages the building, just the wrong wall.

Image
The hail of bullets destroys the original target.

Image
A worried looking figure appears.
(2 troopers need to reload their autoguns, as does the grenade launcher)
Image
These 2 also advance.

He lands perfectly where he wanted, there is a Metaform.

During the Metaform turn, it turns around to wait in ambush and sees the fly.

A Metaform turns around and sees a fly person, weird or what?

Well, I hope this turn helps you decide.

Turn 3

first things first, I'm sorry about how dark these pics are, I changed the brightness, saved them, but my computer didn't show any difference, so I changed them again, then it showed me the difference, so there are 50% darker instead of 25%, so I'm sorry.

A warhead shard appears!

Image
It annihilâtes the headless one and the limp armed one shrieks with surprise.
