Tastey Taste busts out his Green Tide Orks vs. iNcontroL's tournament Tyranid list.

As always, great Bat Rep.

Thanks for posting.

Thanks, glad you liked it!

Oh man. The GD ork codex! Grrrrr. That was a great list TT... Were you suffering from any mob rule nastiness or did you have the BBP?

Looking forward to the LVO. I need to get down to FLG soon. I have some lists I need to try out against you celebs....

Those are some great looking Tyranids, I like the yellow and black scheme. I don't collect Tyranids but if I did I would probably go with something like that.

No BBP, I had mad doc for the Fearless, though I am going to start experimenting with the BBP and just a normal painboy to save some points!

Was a fun game Geoff has my number against the Green Tide otherwise I do really well with them.

The rules for stomps are very stupid. The fact you can place them 3" apart is what kills me.

Not long after this game I watched Nick demolish a top tourney necron list with command barges and all the regular tesla.. green tide is a HARD counter to a LOT of lists. VS mine I need to play my best and get a bit lucky which I seem to do often enough haha.

tough break on the Orks man but great final couple of turns - that was sick! 3 tyrants, barbed and a Dima surrounding xxx boys?! thats a rad finale! Mumma always said to devour your greens!


Edit: - I agree stomp is a little silly on things like knights because of how cheap they are but a barbed pays it's right to have such a naughty rule.

Nick needs to learn how to hold a camera when he's filming.

Nice batrep.

YES YES I do! I do it every time too

Couldn't the malanthope have challenged out a character, hopefully beat him then confer the preferred enemy bubble? (said he couldn't reach because they were hiding in the back).

Mal has to be part of a combat where the enemy is completely destroyed or runs away before he gets PE. Just killing a character in a challenge would not suffice to activate his PE bubble.

Not actually true. The Malanthrope has to be "involved in any close combat which results in an enemy unit or units being destroyed in combat" for his Prey Adaptation ability to trigger. So if a Flyrant killed a Warboss in a challenge as part of the same Close Combat, then the ability would go off.

Fair point but just killing a sergeant or nob etc wouldn't get it.

may I just say those are some excellently painted tyranids!

Thanks! Those were painted by the Frontline Gaming painting studios!

They are the sheet !!!

Good looking armies and an interesting game

+1 to camera movement

Yeah, Tastey Taste is always so crazy on the camera, lol

"Got a 6 on a stomp. Won a game" ©

Yeah, it's so true. Remove from play attacks are a bit rough.

Great report !

The Forge World biker Warboss is pretty darn awesome ! Great looking mini too !
