As you may have guessed from the name, this is a replay of a game I just played in which my teammate and managed to accomplish the seemingly impossible and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. I was Orks (Warboss) with a Tyranid (Hive Tyrant) ally against two Space Marine players (Force Commander and Apothecary). It wasn't a 0-point victory, nor even a single digit win (I think we ended on 37 points), but it still was an epic battle in which mighty armies clashed again and again, with the eventual heartwarming end in which the ferocious alien hordes overran Humanity's finest.
Highlights include 6 uber globals (one was stopped by the end of the game, but you can see a whole Tyranid army trapped in the Orbital Bombardment and then imagine the result), one of which was a devastating and perfectly aimed strike that surely was the sole factor in our victory (a Rok strike by the Ork player), the rather awesome Force Commander vs. Warboss sync-kill (look at around 8:45 for that one) and the big, bad Space Marines being stopped over and over by teamwork, determination and just a little a bit of Trophy Rack abuse.
Oh, and it would be appreciated if people didn't comment on player skill. I was making plenty of mistakes at the start, I know, but that's what made the whole comeback part of this possible. If I played perfectly early on, we would have won without any problems.
