And my Brother will play:

1 Carnifex @ 105 pts (Adrenal Glands +1 WS; Scything Talons x2)


Total Roster Cost: 1000



My job will be to crack open any transports, and create a huge fire lane down the center of the board. While he will outflank everything he can and run the one Fex down the middle to soak up fire and scare units to the side of the board.



Any thoughts?

What, no Warp Beasts?

I can't comment much on Tyranids as I've never played them, but I like the general concept your brother has in that list. I really like the inclusion of the Archangel - that is a piece of wargear that has been growing in functionality for tourney play as GW brings back useful psykers in more and more armies.

I wasn't fond of his scissorhands and nothing else Haemy build till I realized how lean the rest of the list was and that you just had the handful of points left over. I really like you list for its stated purpose, though on a slightly different note I would be nervous as hell having to fire Dissies around those Genestealer broods.

How likely do you think it is you might see a double Ork team? Seems your biggest danger if they go footslogging..

I don't for see a large green horde. If it does happen I think the genestealers will tear it up while I make use of my 24" move.


As for accidentally blasting stealers with the dis.... they are only puppets any ways whats the loss?

if you do come up against an ork horde you ll just have to fire lances on boys

There are 6 plasma cannons. I think that will thin out a squad or two.

Lances are reserved for nobs silly
