The Swarm - Quantumsurfer
The Broodmender retreats to consume and spawn a brand new swarmling.
It immediately rushes at a UPC marine but misses. The other swarmling is much luckier and noms down a marine.
The stasis-captured swarmling makes a desperate attempt at busting free from its confinement, but it can only scratch the solid light glass.
On the other side of the field, the swarmlord and the swarmling gangs up on the brawler suit, and they successfully tear one of its legs off! (-1 hp, movement halved)
Blacktron NuGen - Apollyon
The Desolator and the Maimtrons move closer to guard the troopers - two of them climb the methazine cache and drop crystals down to the third, who drops its burner and rushes to the drop-off point.
Score! 2 out of 5 Methazine Crystals collected!
General Darkonus: 'Let's hope this will escalate things a little...'
The General successfully fires on the biological formation, which bursts into flames and explodes with a sharp popping noise!
General Darkonus: 'Well if anything it looked cool at least!'
It was not only a cool sight though! It appears that said formation served as a nerve relay of sorts for the Swarm - with its violent destruction, all swarm units shriek in agony and will require a little time to regain their composure.
All swarm units lose their special abilities until the end of the next round! They can still attack however.
Planetcrackers - lawmaster
Adele gets up and smacks the swarmlord in the face! While it was a good way to blow off some steam, it failed to do any damage.
Prospectors rip a swarmling to shreds.
PC marines regroup and fire at the swarmlord, which loses 1 hp.
UPC Forces - Bragallot
Marines take out two swarmlings.
Nadia salvages an SB rocket and refurbishes the beam rifle into a makeshift rocket launcher.
She successfully fires and hits the swarmlord, which loses another hit point (down to 4).
The rebel hunter ship returns.
It collects the captured swarmling and leaves the battlefiled.
Since the UPC Commander has successfully completed his bonus objective, he is awarded 1 Almighty Benny. Make sure it counts!
