Hi all

So I'm in the process of building a veer-myn army in time for Paw2014 (feb 1st-2nd), I've got a rought idea for a list and could do with some feedback/surggestions to help refine it. I only own a single box
of Nightmares (really wonderfull models) at the moment and plan to scratch build the Ravenous Hoard, Blasters, Night Terror and a custom Night Spawn (the twins themselves).

So, here you go:

+++ The Twins Hoard (1485pts) +++
+++ 1500pt Veer-myn Roster (Standard)) +++

Veer-myn (Standard) Selections:

+ Solid Units + (880pts)

* Night-Crawlers Section (130pts)
* Night-Crawlers Section (130pts)
* Night-Crawlers Section (130pts)
* Nightmares Section (280pts)
* Ravenous Horde (105pts)
* Ravenous Horde (105pts)

+ Units + (190pts)

* Scourgers Team (190pts)

+ Ordnance + (200pts)

* Blaster (110pts)
Heavy chem laser (20pts)
* Blaster (90pts)
Heavy chem-thrower

+ Heroes / Monsters + (215pts)

* Night Spawn (95pts)
* Night Terror (120pts)


Any help will be great. (p.s thanks to a certain pony for the battlescribe files )

Gonna bump this since its fallen to page 2.

Thanks

I may be overlooking it but are you interested in maybe throwing in transport(s)? Their up from below or whatever it's called special rule seems pretty cool. Since you're scratchbuilding, the transports shouldn't be too difficult.

Yeah, I have considered one or two transports loaded with Nightmares or Stalkers, could be very fun I wiil admit. I could take this list up to 2000pts so I have change-out options and just abdapt it on the fly for smaller games, right now I'm just focusing on getting a strong "base" for the army as a whole and just expand it from there.

thanks, I'll look into so transport conversion ideas, in fact this could be a good inspiration:


So cool...

The Driller and Tunneller are a big part of the unique flavor and strategy that the Veer-myn have available.

I like the image your using for inspiration, please keep us updated if you build it, I would love to see how it turns out.

Thanks Ad, those fat dragon drillers are pretty cool, I'll keep those in mind in case my scratch-build doesn't work out. If all goes well I'll have a concept worked out soon, I already have a good idea in my head how it will look, a collection of
resources/inspirations and I'm just in the process of building a 15mm mock-up as we speak, so its already moving along. The only thing I might drop out from the list for now is the Night Terror since I'm really not sure what I want to do with
it form a design stand-point, I'm thinking a multi-legged mecha instead of a mutanted horror, but its a little early for me to pen it down right now, I'll come back to it later.

I might even build a few drillers if I get the time, I'm considering basing them off of a Russian corkscrew-tank, mixed with SEG-888 Hornet from Junk Tank Rock, so a drill motorbike.

So I've revised the list to give it a more Veer-Myn flavour thanks to privateer's and adamsouza's surggestions.

Here we go:

+++ The Twins Hoard (1480pts) +++
+++ 1500pt Veer-myn Roster (Standard)) +++

Veer-myn (Standard) Selections:

+ Solid Units + (775pts)

* Night-Crawlers Section (130pts)
* Night-Crawlers Section (130pts)
* Night-Crawlers Section (130pts)
* Nightmares Section (280pts) (Deployed in Tunneller)
* Ravenous Horde (105pts)

+ Units + (190pts)

* Scourgers Team (190pts)

+ Armour + (420pts)

* Driller (80pts)
* Driller (80pts)
* Tunneller (260pts)

+ Heroes / Monsters + (95pts)
* Night Spawn (95pts)

This list should work pretty well, lots of infanty, anti-armour and scratch-build potential, it should also be pretty easy to expand this to 2000pts.
Let me know what you think.

The army list looks pretty solid. The corkscrew tank looks insanse. I can't wait to see it.

One thing I'd note is most of your infantry is made of larger units, which can be a liability for Suppression if you get shot up too badly. However, the way Nerve currently runs this is a very rare occurrence, but keep it in mind since it will likely be addressed in the next iteration of the official rules.

Definitely incorporate the crazy drill-tanks. I love the idea of a vehicle who's only job is to zoom around and ram other vehicles/units. And the big one is a beast. I've gotta stay away from the veer-myn related topics. I have 150 skaven that would jump at the chance to switch systems. Fortunately, I haven't come up with an easy chemlaser/pistol solution, and for that I am thankful (too many projects going on).

Does the tunneler have 4 of the saturation guns, 4 ap chem lasers, or some kind of combination? Or perhaps you may wait until you know what your opponents like to bring.

Well, what style are you looking for for the pistols: The raygun-gothic style from the official models, or something different?

Because a couple of dollars worth of small wide-hole beads and the thick wire to go with them and you could have all 150 converted with beaded lasers in a weekend

Curse you! I was glad I had no good way of doing it!

That actually sounds kind of interesting, been looking into some more...inventive scratchbuilding/converting. Maybe some day
