Just an exercise to see what I have left for a decently kitted, but not maxed out apocalypse game after I've sold some of my bugs off.

I want to see a picture of this before I comment!

Once I get a decent camera...I will post again...and you will be PMed on it.

That many points, and no Trygons? I'd quite like to see your opponents face when you seed 48 Spore Mines across the table though...

Oh yes...last apocalypse game I had I brought somewhere around 35 spore mines...I bought a giant bag of foam eggs...because why not.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
If I were truly running this my head would explode in 6th...Psychic Choir book keeping would ruin me...though I have developed a system of numbered and colored glass beads that I put on their bases to denote power number and type.

You have as many Tervigons as I take in a 500 point game...and they're the best unit in the codex. Granted, Apoc is just for fun but if you're asking for our tactical advice, I'd advise taking about 10 more....or 20.

Id swap out all Stealers for Ymgarls personally. Otherwise, very scary!

Check out our (my partner and I, though most of the models were mine) 15K Tyranid list. Not quite as many gribblies as your list, but a lot more big, BIG guys. I'm finding all those gribblies isn't really feasible in a game of Apoc. It just takes too long. Instead, I use the Endless Swarm formation where my 120 gants keep coming back.



15K Tyranids

This is an approximation as I don't have my partner's list.

Dominatrix
2x Hierophant Bio-titans
Harridan
3x Barbed Hierodules
Scythed Hierodule
3x Exocrines

3x Flyrants - 2x TL-Devourers, Old Adversary
3x Flyrants - Dual Talons, Old Adversary
2x Tervigons - Upgrades

Doom - Mycetic Spore
Venomthrope
10x Ymgarls
2x3 Zoanthropes

8x Biovores
3x Ninjafexes - Mycetic Spores
2x Gunfexes - Crushing Claws, Mycetic Spores
8x Trygons
