Thanks for reading as always!

Great Report!

One quick note in case this happens at the actual tournament - If you wreck a vehicle while it is totally surrounded, the enemy does NOT get to place his models on top -- It doesn't become a piece of terrain until after they've disembarked. While it's still considered a model, other models aren't allowed to be placed on top of it. Wrecking a surrounded vehicle to destroy the guys inside is a widely accepted practice in 5th edition, especially by now. Just watch out for explodes! because in that case the occupants will be on the table, after you've taken explosion casualties.

That is the best Tyranid list in existence.

You deserve a medal, I'm soo going to steal that list!

Good battle. I find dual-lash to be really tough for nids if you don't have any fast units. Good thing for you, you brought 3 squads of ymgarls and were able to tie up hist DP's.

BTW, he played the emergency disembarktion wrong. You have to disembark first and then the vehicle becomes a wreck afterwards. It's on p.67 of BRB.

Looked like an intense game - well done on the win

Proof that Hive Guard aren't necessarily an auto include.

I've been wanting to try out Ymgarls since getting into Nids - will definitely have to give them a red hot go now

Thanks again for another great report.

@ tetris, jy2: Yeah, I know but I didn't want to push it in a friendly game. I wanted to score the objective and I figured the tervigon, gaunts, and genestealers would be able to take care of the plague maries either way.

@ warboss gutrip: LOL, thanks. I doubt it is, but I'm flattered either way.

@slice'n'dice: Thanks man! I don't think hive guard are required to compete by any means. My next project will be to play some games without Tervigons too =)

Very intense battle! Nice win! I can't wait to see the no-Tervigon list!

I've also been on the fence about Ymgarls. I play smaller point value games, though, so it's hard to resist Hive Guard for my elites with the limited points I have, but I'll definitely have to consider them now.
