Warhammer 40k Battle Report: NEW Tyranids vs. Ultramarines!

The Rhino calls out the new Nids in revenge for Macragge, backed by none other than Bobby G! Can Reecius give him what for with the new Tyranids?

This list features the Jormungandr hive fleet adaptations and Warlord Trait on what many would consider to be an unconventional Nid list. It features units built for melee and shooting who walk up the field with both a -1 to be hit thanks to the Malanthropes and +1 to their saves due to the Hive Fleet adaptations. It also utilizes the Jormungandr tunnel networks to potentially bring a large number of units in from reserves.

Pablo’s Ultramarines list features a lot of no LoS required firepower, Bobby G and a Land Raider Achiles. Kind of an off-the-wall list, but interesting and it certainly packs a punch!
