Thanks for reading~

Wow.
Lovely report as ever man, with great action too. Loved the huge assaults, with the Genestealers squaring off with boyz and neither proving decisively better IMHO, whilst the Tyrant and Ghaz both went on their individual rampages. Really bloody battle, great that the TMC's got involved too!
Well worth the read!

I really cannot believe your tyrant and gaunts took down 50 boyz in 1 turn! nuts! Full of win, loved the rep

It was pretty epic. I think the 4 genestealers that assaulted in killed 8 or so by themselves.

Cracking read! Orks vs 'Nids always seems to be so brutal, - I love watching those games unfold.

Also, over such large armies, the painting looks great too!

Great report!

I've been having a lot of fun recently reading your reports - and enjoy the slightly different approach to Nids that you have.

Look forward to reading more.

Thanks for the kind words guys. It takes just as long to write the report as it takes to play the game, so I'm glad people appreciate the effort.

Aye I read almost all of your bat reps. As I have never used tyranids it gives me good perspective to watch a solid player use them.

i wound love to see more pics of your army, in particulat the tyranofex i think i can see in there

Aye. Sometimes even longer. My games usually take no more than 3 hours to play, but writing the report itself for me takes much more time than that.

Good to see nids don't get pushed around in assault by orks. An all-comer's nid list is decent in assault, but not great. They will still have problems against more assault-oriented armies. Though to be fair, 38 stealers backed with Preferred Enemy and FNP makes for great assault units.

Great Bat rep thanks!

Very awesome. I admire your dedication to nids.

I always knew Orks and Nids are usually a bloody mess. Looks like this battle solidified it.

thanks, looks epiiiic!

That was an excellent read! The tyrant was a real beast. Great looking army as well!

I love the way your Bugs look and does the Ork player happen to have a Dakka account?

Man, your reports are easily my second favourite I've ever read; second only to JY2 which I'm sure you understand!
The only problem is you always make me want to collect 'nids...
