Show some love for the bugs guys! Round 2 is really interesting!

Yet more interesting games; I must say you definitely intrigue me with your unique list! I'd love to see some reps vs IG or DE

Great battle reports Yermon. I really enjoy them and they make me want to play bugs. I really want to see pics of these games but i understand that its pretty difficult to play the game and take the pics. good work and keep it up.

Also if its not too much trouble could you briefly talk about your unit choice and why you chose them and your general take on how to play bugs?

Great battle reports, but I really don't see the purpose of the 5-man stealer squads. They really just don't seem able to do anything...

yeah i am very interested on the theory behind this unit.

"stay in cover and shoot the piss out of them"

True, unless of course theres ymgarls. surprise!

Interesting batreps. I facepalmed when I saw that the deathwing player reserved. You need cyclone shots to put wounds on the big bugs before they get into you.

Nice play on the grey knights. I think the purifier lists really struggle against nids, especially if you can't block the feel no pain from the tervigons, it's why I feel the hood is essential to knights armies. Most of the time it helps, plus the libby is awesome anyways. But blocking fortune from eldar, other knights, and the tervigon feel no pain is essential to the shooty grey knight army.

I love how in your last thread people talked trash on you about playing against real armies, then you go to beat Grey Knights themselves. Shame on you naysayers! Good job yermon!

Nice batt Rep.

As you stated, he should have taken first turn - and that combined with your bad luck with saves could have swung the game (maybe...) I suppose he'll learn for next time, and hopefully you'll have better luck with your saves next time.

I'm also a Nid player, and believe they can compete - though I'm having luck with lots of small bugs and the odd big bug atm.

Look forward to reading more!

This is why I had some friends take Nids to Semis, however they for some reason forgot about the abundance of IG that would also be there.

Nids vs GK is a pretty good matchup

Round 3 is up guys!

I used to run triple-trygons, but now I opt for a more shooty approach with 1 t-fex and 6 biovores. You had the tools to deal with all 3 opponents so far. Few MEQ armies can out-assault a triple-trygon/swarmlord tyranid build and none of them that you played against had the firepower to really put a dent in your army. I think so far, your GK opponent was the toughest matchup for you, but even still, Crowe-Purifier GK's have problems with nids. Your worst GK opponent would probably be a Draigowing with banner.

BTW, even if Crowe didn't force weapon your trygon to death, he still would've probably taken it out via Heroic Sacrifice.
