Good start Matt,
right, so I'm taking Imperial Guard and Space Wolves allies and my list goes like:
2x Rune Priest
1x Lord Commissar
1x Company Command
50man Blob and meltabombs and power axes
Veteran squad with lascannon
2x10 Grey Hunters with 2 Plasmaguns in each
3 Vendettas
And my first round draw is against: Nids!
HQ1 : Hive Tyrant 170pts, 2x sets of Twin-Linked Devourers with brain leach worms 30pts, Wings
60pts, Old adversary 25pts, Regeneration 20 pts, (Total 305pts)
HQ2 : Hive Tyrant 170pts, Lash whip and bone sword, 1 set scything talons, Armoured
Shell 40pts, Old adversary 25pts, 1x Tyrant Guard Rending claws and scything talons.
60pts, (Total 295pts)
Elite1 : 3x Hive Guards 150pts
Elite2 : The Doom of Malan'tai 90pts (Transport 1) Elite 3 : 2x Zoanthropes 120pts
Troop 1 : 13x Termagaunts flesh borers 65pts
Troop 2 : Tervigon, Cluster spines, Scything talons 5pts, Adrenal Glands 10pts, toxin sacs
10pts, Dominion, catalyst 15pts (Total 200pts)
Troop 3 : 3x Tyranid Warriors 90pts, Scything Talons, 2x Deathspitter 10pts, 1x venom
Cannon 15pts (Total 115pts)
Troop 4 : 30x Hormagaunts 180pts, ToxinSacs 60pts, Scything talons, (Total 240pts) FA 1: 20x
Gargoyles 120pts, Toxin Sacs 20pts, Fleshborer,(Total 140pts)
HS1: Biovore 45pts
HS2: Biovore 45pts
Transport : Mycetic Spore ripper tentacles 40pts
From the looks of things it's a balanced Nid army, with only 1 flyer HT, lots of combat units, backed by some shooting in the Biovores, HT and Warriors.
There are two ways to play this list for me, In objective games its all about taking out that Tervigon, once thats gone he may only have 3 troop choices left, 3 of which will hopefully be small, so deploying objectives in the open in the name of the game. In KP missions there are some easy targets like Biovores the spore pod, Doom and most of the troop choices... I should dominate the air with the Vendettas, I need to work on my play with them... so it's gonna be a steep learning curve.
What does everyone else think? Sound tactics? Talking rubbish??
Also are their any nasty tricks his list could pull? The Zoanthropes can take a Psychic power from the rulebook would be there be any nasty combos? I know VERY little about nids having only played 5 times EVER! (1 win, 4 loses!)
