I have no idea what this is... but I really want to try it for the lolz.

SkyTyrant Formaiton

HQ 1: Hive Tyrant - Wings, LW, BS, OA, Electroshock
FAST ATTACK 1: 10 Gargoyles
FAST ATTACK 2: 10 Gargoyles

FORTIFICATION: Bastion - Comms relay
1850 pts total.

Turn 1 would see the sky tyrant swarm string back to the bastion (with the malanthrope inside) for durability on T1.

Turn 2 would bring in (hopefully) all reserves while assaulting the primary targets with the Skytyrant swarm.

Turn 3 assault with remaining Dimachaeron/ Swarmlord.

As long as I don't face any other Nid players ( No ability to take on FMC or flyers lol) then I think this list is rad!

It surely is cool, but...it has a Fly'rant. I seem to recall a Tyrant Node that cannot take Wings, so that might "fix" the problem. I dunno if I would play this, but it does look interesting.

Hello dude! It was cool to meet you!

hell no I have not! I think deap down, I'm just trolling here... although I'd love to run this - just to see how it would go! I think it would catch a lot of people off guard although without flyrants it just doesn't have that TAC feel.

Reaper is a waste of pts in my opinion!

It was great to meet you too, you made a list for lolz it seemed you might of taken a step back, glad to hear that you haven't.

I like the idea of trying different lists, that might catch people out, it's just the last one I used didn't work. Like you said above with this list it can't deal with FMCs and flyers, but they struggle with maelstrom quite badly. My only issue is that the dimachaerons and the swarmlord being vulnerable the turn they come in, what you might want to do, is deep strike them in behind the sky tyrant formation, and use it as a sort of bubble wrap. Like you said it could work, and most definitely will be able to catch a few lists out.

How you stated "Probably just trolling" now that we have mucolids for nids I have been trying to see how many I can cram in a list with lictors so that I can just ring my opponent with 9 S8 AP3 exploding fart balloons. I have played it twice now and I consistently find it amusing!

FART BALLOONS!!!! I want to spam them too!!!
