Hive War (1995) Chaos Lore

[MolotovKraken]

Over 50 years before the Tyranid assault, High Admiral Yriel had led Iyanden fleet. Although he was considered one of the greatest Eldar naval tacticians to have ever lived, his character was flawed by the sin of pride. When Iyanden had been threatened by a Chaos space fleet raiding out of the Eye of Terror, Yriel had led the fleet on a preemptive attack on the Chaos fleet's flagship, leaving the Craftworld unprotected. He only just returned in time to stop a suicide attack by a small flotilla of Chaos Raider ships, who none the less managed to damage the Craftworld.

Psychic Barrage
Psychic Barrage cards represent powerful blasts of energy being directed against the planet's surface by orbiting bio-ships of the hive fleet. Psychic Barrage uses a normal barrage template as its area of effect and models must be at least half under the template to be affected. Because the attack is psychic no armour saving throws apply but psychic saving throws do. A Titan or Gargant hit by a psychic barrage automatically suffers a damage roll to its head location, representing damage to its crew. In the case of Mega Gargants and Emperor class Titans that fail their psychic saving throw, roll to hit every troop stand aboard but do not roll to hit the Titan/Gargant itself. Naturally robots and other models without living crews are immune to psychic barrage but daemons are vulnerable to it and Greater Daemons struck by a psychic barrage will be destroyed and may not expend Chaos cards to survive.
