SPOILER: Angel's Leap secondary objective issues

[Majere]

I've put SPOILER in the title because this whole thing is going to have to be blanked otherwise.

So, the secondary objective on Angel's Leap (getting Quindar to the mountaintop) is daft, and possibly bugged, which is a shame because trying to do it was a lot of fun. With much bravery and derring-do I was able to cut through, and I guessed that the mission would end if I wiped out all the Tyranids, so I made sure to keep a Venomthrope alive some way from the peak. So far, so good.

Then, however, you get the 'defend Quindar while he scrys' objective.
Problem 1: Quindar moves to a square just above the objective and won't move. Possibly this is unimportant.
Problem 2: There's nothing to defend him against. Unless you're somehow supposed to cover Quindar in 'gaunt bits and have him pretend to be a Carnifex, the only way through is by killing the 'nids, so there's barely anything alive when he gets there. Instead, for something like 5 turns my entire force ran away from the Venomthrope whilst pretending it didn't exist. Which leads into..
Problem 3: There's no indication of progress. After a little over 5 turns, the Venomthrope finally made it to the summit, and despite my boxing it in with vehicles ambled off to get killed by pistol reaction fire. I have no idea if I succeeded, failed, or how much longer I needed to 'hold out'.

I'd suggest at the very least there need to be some mob waves that spawn to attack the summit, with the Primary objective adding those in reserve to its counter to stop the Primary making the Secondary 'fail' once it's started.

Same happened here. There needs to be either round counter or the primary objective should update to kill all remaining nids

[dl*Obliter8]

Same here. If you get him there, you've already killed everything

i dont know it's still relevant but i had same thing going on. expected to something happen at some point. cornered one of the base enemies with vehicles. while they tickle my tanks, i skipped like 10 turns and finally killed them. turns out that you dont have to wait, just finish the mission and you get 2 extra skill point or whatever. hope this helps anyone comes looking for it

Killed the last Nid, (Venomthrope) 5 steps before he reached the summit (shakes head in disappointment).
Mission finishes.
No bonus points.
Not sure what the after mission briefing differs but hey.

Similar experience, a Termagant was shooting at Brother Quindar who didn't even notice until I got bored and sent Techmarine Croginax over there to first repair him, and then finish the 'gant's pointless lonely existence.
As long as Quindar activates the secondary objective, you are set and done.

Hi i have a question about this mission. I dont know is this is a bug. But there is no flying creature that drops spore mine. They are absent from this level. Is this normal?

Please start a new thread instead of necro'ing an old one about an unrelated bug.
