Hey all. I have been away for quite some time. Back now and working on my armies for our big mega-battle next weekend. I am working on Nids (obviously) and had a few questions.
My first list consists of 2 tyrants, 6 fex and either hormogaunts or genestealers to get to 2000 pts. This is the layout of my first Tyrant:
Tyrant (75), adrenal glands +1I (15), enhanced senses +1BS (10), extended carapace +1SV (25), toxic sacs +1S (12), winged (40), twin-linked devourer (12), twin-linked devourer (12), acid maw (10), toxic miasma (6) - 217 pts
My thoughts are this: 12 twin-linked str 5, 18" range, rerolls on hits and wounds. They should be able to soften up most targets before the charge. Only 3 (4 on the charge) attacks in HTH, but rerolls on the wounds that ignore armor saves. Backed up by either genestealers or hormorgaunts, a walking tyrant and 6 'fex, I think that it should do ok.
What do people think of this combination? Will it work like I think or is it destined to go down in a hail of bolter fire? This is just my army for our big game. I will probably tailor the force for regular tournamet play a bit. I have 2 more force orgs that are virtually the same, but one has a broodlord and one might have a scything hierodule.
I will try and have my total lists done this weekend for feedback.
Thanks for looking.
Rick
