Hey Guys! This is a experimental list which i want to use in a few days to fight my friends 'nids. I dont know what he's coming up with as he has a rather large collection, but he usually prefers MCs over swarms.

So, let's go:


- Sammael in Landspeeder (200)

- Landspeeder Darkshroud, HB (80)

- 4x Landspeeders, 2 HB (220)

- Landraider (250)

- 2x 5 Scouts (110)

- Razorback, LC (75)

- Whirlwind (65)

What I will be trying to do is: Use the 4 Speeders+DS as support formation, granting them coversaves, strafing run and interceptor. Increase their cover save by using my AV14-all-around-mobile-cover (which carries 5 scouts who may get out to stay at an objective). Also, the Landrainder gets stealth (which is quite funny!).
Razorback/the other scouts will try to camp in cover at 1 or two objectives, which will hopefully be far away from any bugs
Sammy will hang out with the other speeder-guys to get that sweet cover save, but will be ready to move where i need him to go.
And finally, the WW will do what it does best - get it's points back before it is overrun.

Hopefully my HBs will be enough to beat some MCs, the speeders have strafing run, letting them shoot 27 HB shots at BS 5.
Also, Sammy + 4 LS + DS are exactly 500pts and could be fun to play at an escalation league

< Critique on the list requested please! >

The land raider is the weak link. Replace it with 250 points of anything else. Predator, vindicator, crusader, Redeemer, anything.

Consider the Ravenwing Support Squad formation. Good against many Tyranids, especially with Typhoon launchers.

Vehicles in general struggle against all the grav weapons out there.

Just remember to bubble warp your Dark shrould. Or the flyrant spam are going to destroy it within a single turn with its E grub. Then your other speeders are going to be glanced to death by devourers.
