reveiw: most say this list is bad, untill I beat them. the same with my tactics. Genestealers charging a dreadnought? bad. Same with regen but does anyone know about my HT story? the one where he would have died had he not regenarated the 3 wounds thrown at him!

suprise! Over 1500 points! I was only trying to make a small nid army! now I can collect something else! newcrons? nah mat ward. marines? losss of dignity when I go into gamesworkshop, cos I often badmouth marines! maybe catachans! please give me advice on what next!

posts may not make sense cos this was not originally 2000 points.


ps in this list I look like a prick.

nobody

Firstly, you need a definitive points total, are you playing 1500 or 1750? You shouldn't just be making lists around 1500 points and playing, if your beating people with 1500 point lists, its because you've got 200 points more.

Hive Tyrant should have Tyrant Guard with him. I don't really know what powers/upgrades he should be taking though.
Parasite has no place in this list...Needs some Gargoyles to fly with ideally.

Your troops are all over the place, you Tgants, why 21? With no deathspitters. With termagants, your either taking 10 to allow Tervigon as troop, or some other number with death spitters. Your hormagaunts, I would keep as one big squad. Genestealers need/are best with Toxin sacs. And the 4 rippers are just pointless, they can't capture objectives, aren't going to kill or hold anything up, not quite sure what 4 Rippers are going to do, other than use up 40 points..
How many Warriors are in the squad? Is it 3? Not sure they need the rending claws, assuming they are a pointed upgrade, just keep the ST (If thats what they come with). But also, 3 random warriors seems like a bad choice, take no warriors or more warriors, and if your taking warriors, take a Prime.

Doom ideally needs to be in a Mycetic spore to get the best from him, but your lack of anti-tank you should really be taking Hive Guard or at least Zooanthropes here..

I like Raveners, deathspitters is probably the best upgrade, i'm not sure though. But they are going to be isolated if they are coming in from reserve, and again you have a small number, which with the other stuff in your list, just doesn't appear to be effective enough.

Very expensive Carnifex, for that amount of points, you might as well just spend a few more and get a Tyrannofex. Also, there is no need what so ever to take Toxins on a Carnifex.....
And on both MCs, I wouldn't other with Regen, its nice, but expensive and you might not be able to use it effectively...

If the Tyrant has a bonesword then implant attack is overkill. Regen at 25 points is unreliable. Agree he needs a guard.

21 gants - strange number to run for plain gants with no tervigon back up.

Rippers? Points best spent elsewhere.

3 warriors is not a great troop choice. 3 missile hits, wound on 2+, instakill. Better to save points and increase say raveners to 5 strong. Go for rending rather than shoooting attack as you want them running in the shooting phase not stopping to shoot.

Not a fan of gaunts and stealers in the same list, but that's just a personal thing.

Doom in a spore I agree is it's best use.

You have no ranged AV in the list at all - look for some zoeys or hive guard.

Not a fan of single trygon - and would also only take them with AG. Again, regen too expensive for a what is a luck based ability. I would go 2 trygon or 2 fex in HS, not one of both. Devourer a better weapon on fex than deathspitter and also either of these and a HVC is not a great mix due to different targets and very different range.

my list is so poor because I am broke. this is not a list I have set myself, but the list I own. 21 gaunts. I had the 16 from the battleforce but my brother bought me the 5 for 5 quid deal. I agree I do not like that cos I cant uuse spods. GW denies my tervigon conversions (but strangley lets me use POM). I do have a zoey but play him as doom. If I want him as a zoey I will add 30 points upgardes to my fex. rippers? Ebay time! what kits have 300 points in? I must get this to a fair number. (highest my FLG lets me go over the limit is ten.
