Aren’t Hive Guard Elites, not Heavy Support?
They sure are, I was going too fast and posted the wrong list, sorry.
Hive Guard under heavy support?
Yeah, sorry, posted the wrong list, doh! Will fix.
Yeah, pretty sure Hive Guard are elites.
They are.
If it’s Reece v Frankie I’m not sure the lists matter based on recent performances…
lol
This will be a real test for the Nids to see how survivable they are. I would give the advantage to AM because they will outshoot the Nids. If 2/4 of tyranids make it to assault they will have a chance but those flamethrowers and executioner will punch right through them. Hive guard and bullgryn will probably be the mvps for this game.
It will certainly be an interesting match-up =)
What, no Tyranid Warriors? I’d like to see a list focusing on Warriors to see how it does… I personally have like 30 ready to go-including 6 Shrikes! Still trying to figure out best load-out but sofar I’ve been enjoying 3x6x warriors a unit with 2x Venom Cannons, 4x Deathspitters and 6x Boneswords next to a Prime (Shrikes just get Adrenal, Rending/Scything because that is how I built them).
We had Warriors in the lat bat rep, trying to mic it up and show things off a bit. Warriors are excellent, though.
I prefer Deathspitters with Boneswords, myself, with Barbed Stranglers mixed in.
6 HG double shooting? I hope you wipe a couple of lemans first turn with that?
What about HG coming up with a trygon and double shooting, and also bringing a unit of jeanstealers with them? Woah man that sounds pretty nasty. Maybe better to just bring 9 warriors and keep HG in backfield tho lol
Yup, all good options! HG are devastatingly good. As are Warriors….and as are Genestealers….lol
Hi Reecius,
Do you think a failed charge counts as a charge for the Jormungandr trait?
I don’t know, but I would assume GW will answer that question in time.
Well, when a unit fails a charge, I asume it can’t make a pile-in/consolidation move, and the condition to keep the Jormungandr adaptation is exactly the same.
For sure, I meant to say: I don’t know how GW will call it but I do agree that you don’t count as charging.
The Genestealer unit can save 10 points by going with the 0 point acid maw instead of rending claws on 5 of them. That would be enough to give your Flyrant toxic and adrenal. The Stealers would be better and it makes the Flyrant way better.
I don’t think you have the option to not equip or exhange Rending Claws. You have to pay those.
Might as well put in the acid Maws though since it’s free and give a guarantee AP -3
Haven’t you got 1 too many elites in the AM brigade as I thought it was a maximum of 6?
