Hey everyone. So as you can tell I'm playing Nids and Ill be against IG. I have a pretty good setup against most infantry lists (its not that hard with Nids) but he sadly isn't going infantry.
My friend is going to have
Emperors Fist Armoured Company (5 Lemans and an enginseer)
Knight Commander Pask with an extra Leman
2 Vet Squads
1 Manticore
I Don't know the exact variants hes using so the points may be off but he uses the 24 shot one and the plasma one quite a bit. Basically I just need to know how to take out 7 Lemans and the manticore. What are your guys ideas? I imagine some Zoeys but id need a crap ton. Thanks.

You will be safer off in the air.
Zoanthropes will get pulped quickly by a Russ, let alone 7 of them.

2 flying hive tyrants as always will be a good start.
They will do your heavy lifting for you.

Try to ignore toughness 4 or less models with multiple wounds and they will die to instant death.


Personally, I'd load up on flyrants, harpies and crones to keep in the air and smash against them.
Hopefully pask isn't in the punisher as he will be putting a ton of hits on most things.

Also, by being in the air the manticore cannot do a thing to your big beasties.

Troops wise, this is common sense but make sure you space them out well to avoid pie plates removing whole units on a direct hit.

Thorax hives full of Electro grubs are your friend.
