Tyranid threat assimilation data
(Tyranid vs Necrons)


Necron Assimilation Module 307, Tactical Analysis of planet fall of Tyranid seed swarm, splinter behmoth hive fleet.

Planet location - Imperial World - Tyfus
Designation - Organic Rich, Class M, Agri World
Seeding Swarm Prelimary Assessment
Hive Queen, Mutable Genes Scanned
Carnifex
2 x Gaunt Swarms, Mutable Genes Scanned, Hyper Adrenal Activity
2 x Gene Stealer Swarms
2 x Tyranid Warrior Weapon Support Units

Necron Assimilation Module, Data Gathering Modus
Lord, Subspace Relocation Module & Immaterium Generator
Immortal Honour Guard, Biosensor hardwired, disruption field enabled
2 x Warrior Support, Quadrant Denile System incorporated
1 x Scarab unit defense screen, prelimary pattern holo matrix field trial 004
1 x Pattern dreadnought aa.00012.alpha
2 x Destroyer Scimmers, 2 upgrade heavy platforms enabled
Initial contact
2 Genestealer Swarms deploy from hidden cover, unknown how they hide thermal signatures from scanners. Analysis of corpus remains is progressing (sample 0556.fhd.2)
Genestealer threat 12" from necron warriors, tactical placement of warriors behind rock out crop shows basic intelligence present.
Genestealer unit designated 001 removed from viability by destroyers
Genestealer unit designated 002 removed from viability by 2 units of warriors. Lord enables total removal.
Contact Time +1 Std Un
2 Gaunt Swarm seeding spores itair dropped into warrior lines. Hive queen and carnifex deployed near destroyers, thin membranous ectoderms provide glide potential to these units.
1 x Tyranid warriors deploy in central quadrant of necron lines.
1 x Genestealer unit deploy in central location.

Adrenaline enhanced gaunts begin close combat with warrior troops. The seed drop and adrenal stress has greatly reduced coordination and warrior losses are very limited, auto repair of damaged units facilitates a zero casualty encounter.
10 Gaunts surround lord. Several systems in command module are damaged, but self repair contains damage, adrenal stress and lord induced damage destroys all but 4 of the gaunt threat.

Destroyers move to ensure carnifex is in optimum firing arch for gauss cannons, open fire. The carnifex is unaffected by such weaponry. More data is required for gauss modification to meet the carnifex/hive queen threat.

Immortals and Command relocate to advantageous battle lines and remove tyranid warrior threat. Scarabs advance of genestealer line and with tactical precision greatly lesson the threat of the unit. The programming of scarab units is functioning at 92% of tactical expectations.
Contact Time Std+2
Tyranid gaunts are over mutated and corpus analysis shows that the cardiac system is put under great pressure, cerebral and thorasic organs are damaged by adrenaltoxosis.
Warrior units maintain combat, with several units too damaged to be of tactical use, these units return to the collective.
Carnifex is engaged in close combat by skimmers, as is tyrant queen. Data on contact is required by the collective.
Pattern dreadnought aa.00012.alpha engages carnifex. The power weapons enabled create slight wounding. Armour is insufficient to fend off the powerful attacks of carnifex.
Hive queen is delayed by destroyer contact.
A single warrior recovered from a damaged destroyer is engaged in close data gathering with a single gaunt, this appear to delay seeding of more gaunt swarms.
Contact Time+3 Std.
Very few tyranid guants / genestealers remain, but a unit of warriors have returned to the collective. Command and the immortals relocate to engaged hive queen with gauss weaponry. Data suggests that this has little effect.
Single necro warrior desination r4326fsd.dhs.306 maintains combat with gaunt warrior.
Carnifex remains in combat with skimmers and pattern dreadnought. It is held at bay. This delaying tactic appears to be the best hope until units of dreadnoughts become available.
Contact Time+4 Std
Single necron warrior r4326fsd.dhs.306 maintains combat with single gaunt. Tactical programming of r4326fsd.dhs.306 functioning at 99.8%
Hive queen and carnifex destroy dreadnought and destroyer skimmers. The CPU of each teleports to collective for data analysis.
Immortals are engaged in close combat by queen, loss is unacceptable and unit and command module relocate to tactical advantage position. Gauss fire remains at minimal impact vs these creatures.
Necronwarriors fallback into cover position.
Tyranid gaunts, genestealers are destroyed.
Tyranid carnifex and hive queen remain on battle field.
Tactical data (atteched in data burst) gathered.
Imperial planet Tyfus is left to tyranid/imperial conflict. Data trackers attached to carnifex and hive queen.
Data on conflict continues to enter collective.

Assimilation Module 306 has fulfilled all tactical requirements and relocates to collective. Data downloaded.
Data Analysis
Pattern dreadnought aa.00012.alpha 45.7% affective vs Greater Tyranid Creatures.
Pattern dreadnought beta conceptualisation complete. Replace inferno cannon with multi monofilament power flails.
Destroyers synergistcally enhanced 59.5% by presence of Pattern dreadnought aa.00012.alpha vs tyranid threat.
Immortal/Command sysnergy at 92% during combat
Carnifex/HiveQueen require high energy weapons to lance through heavy dermal plating. Data suggests a version of human lascannon/plasma cannon tech.
Heavy weapons platform potential
