I'm looking for a new army to collect, with my mind nagging for chaos daemon but I want to get a type or space amrine or tyranids- I only enjoy playing with a full on assault. Any ideas on what to do?

Space Marines + Love of Full on Assault

Might I suggest Blood Angels?

A very strong assault army with lots of very cool, unique units. I would direct you to some one who plays them for advice though, I have only a passing connection to them.

Thanks that helped but my friend already has them :/

Thanks anyway

Arent Black Templar 'assaulty'?

Tyranids are buckets of fun. They're not particularly 'good' as far as winning every time, but it sure is fun to run 100+ wounds at the enemy before outflanking the rest!

The MC's are fun in their own right, as well - the models are amazing. I'm a little biased, though - I am sure there's more viable assault options out there, with 3+ armour to boot :p

If you want full on assault, nids are the way to go.

Thanks I'll use the hive fleet I designed on dawn of war II if I get them- hive fleet titan!

I've considered them but they aren't to my taste

Although most people use a shooty flavour instead, Space Wolves have the ability to be very assault-oriented.

Id recomend Tau. Ive read so many posts about firewarriors clubbing terminators and deamon princes to death.

Dick move, man.

Have you considered Orks?

Very assaulty with a side of surprisingly good shooting and the potential for a fair few nasty competitive lists.

Um, I don't mean to be a dick, but Hive Fleet Titan doesn't fit in with the pattern of other Hive Fleets. All of the others are named after creatures of Greek and Roman Mythology, as well as other, less well known ancient cultures.

Beghemoth, Kraken, Leviathan, Medusa, Ghorgon, Hydra, Jormungr, etc.

May I suggest Hive Fleet Nemian? After the Lion with indestructable fur, killed by Hercules?

Of coarse, it is up to you, but to me Hive Fleet Titan just sounds too, Imperial.

I think you should look up who the Gods fought when they took over.



EDIT: Also, I believe Leviathan is Biblical, not Greek.

Is the leviathan not that big beastie Perseus killed on hsi way back from having killed Medusa?

Space Wolves can be very assaulty. Load up a bunch of Grey Hunters, add in Ragnar Blackmane for an HQ and Thunderwolf Cavalry or Swiftclaws led by a Wolf Priest or Wolf Guard.

No, that was the Kraken. The Leviathan is from the Book of Job.

For assault you could go deamons.

I know that the Greek Gods fought Titans, but like I said it is too Imperial. Titan are the big massive machines. It is also the Chapter Planet/Moon. Anyone without a knowledge of ancient lore will be confused.

Of coarse, it is up to youy, I was just addng a comment.

Have you ever heard that their is a necron tomb world on mars and the techpriests have been nicking their technology?

So, when the tomb awakens... all of the titans will go necron and necrons will rule supreme!

So, not titan... serpent then.

If you want, like. I was just putting down my thoughts.
