Rant Session
Tactics Corner
Review the Third Tyranid Formation
Bioblast Node
Warrior Brood (must have a Bio-Cannon upgrade)
3 Carnifex Broods (each model must have a Bio-Cannon upgrade)
Tyrannofex
Bio-Deluge
All models have split fire and if within 12″ of the Warriors can re-roll 1’s to wound in shooting phase
Wrecker Node
Warrior Brood (cannot take Bio-Weapons)
3 Carnifex Broods (cannot take Bio-Weapons)
Rampage of Destruction
Carnifexes do 1d3+1 Hammer of Wrath and if within 12″ of the Warriors can re-roll 1’s in the assault phase
Tyrant Node
Hive Tyrant (no wings)
Tyrant Guard Brood (must take 3 Tyrant Guard)
Venomtrhope Brood
Command Node
Hive Tyrant has +6″ to synapse
Subterranean Swarm
Tyrgon Prime
Trygon
Mawloc
3 Ravenor Broods
All must start in reserve, and come in on a single die roll. Trygon Prime comes first bby Subterranean Assault rules. Then the 3 Ravenor Broods come in within 6″ of the Trygon Prime’s base. As normal cannot move extra or assault, but can shoot and run. The rest of the formation comes in normally via deep strike.
Living Tide
1 Tyrand Node
1 Synaptic Swarm
3 Endless Swarms
1 Wrecker Node
1 Skyblight Swarm
The formation gains Fear.
Synaptic Command Network: As long as the Hive Tyrand from the Tyrant Node Formation is there, all synapse gains 6″
The Swarm Unleashed: As long as the Hive Tyrand from the Tyrant Node Formation is there, all rolls to endless swarm and skyswarm rules can be re-rolled
Rules Lawyer
- Can you Death or Glory with a Walker or Knight?
- No, you cannot.
- What does the community think about a tournament rule that allows units of Chaos Space Marines to purchase ATSKNF at 1 point per model, and every model in the unit must purchase it if one does. Also, changing Champion of Chaos to say you may challenge, not must?
List Review
Hi! I have a neat list idea for Orks with Chaos Space Marine allies, and with the recent Crimson Slaughter supplement, I thought it might be a good chance to give this a try! I call it Gork and Mork’s (Un)holy WAAAGH!
HQ
Warboss w/Attack Squig, Mega Armour, Cybork
Warboss w/Attack Squig, Mega Armour, Cybork
Elites
8 Lootas
8 Lootas
7 Lootas
Troops
18 Choppa Boyz+Nob w/PowerKlaw
18 Choppa Boyz+Nob w/PowerKlaw
30 Shoota Boyz w/2 Big Shootas and Nob w/ Big Choppa
Heavy Support
Battlewagon w/Red Paint Job, Deffrolla
Battlewagon w/Red Paint Job, Deffrolla
Crimson Slaughter Allies
HQ
Sorcerer w/Balestar (Divination)
Troops
10 Chaos Cultists
Fast Attack
Heldrake
Heavy Support
3 Nurgle Oblits
Each Warboss goes in a Battlewagon with 18 boyz and go kill whatever needs that many powerklaws (Warboss’ Mega Armour comes with a free Powerklaw). The Shoota Boyz that are on foot can either move forward slowly or wait in reserve to take backfield objectives (the cultists will be doing that as well). The Lootas get spread out in cover and target low AV vehicles, flyers, and whatever needs shot. The Heldrake does normal heldrake stuff, and the Sorcerer is there to give the Oblits Divination powers.
Cheers!
