Hi!

Not got much list building experience and this will be for my first tournament in October. Looking to refine with small tweaks. It’s a tourney with its own rules pack (not ITC) and will probably be CA2018 based. From what I gather it’s Not a WAAC sort of scene. This list features mostly things I own with the only thing left to get is the Shadowsword, mostly because on review I had very little to deal with knights etc... I’d be grateful for any feedback on viability with preferably small tweaks or refinements. I accept it’s not a world beater but I’m trying to pull something reasonable together with what I’ve got. I’ve got a few more nids I could add in (trygons, carnifexes, hive guard, swarmlord, gargoyles, venomthropes and some warriors).

Thanks!

Hey, i've got a question; do you have a unit to ride in a rockgrinder? If not, the cache of democharges does not have its use..

@spreelock

I was intending to use the exploding vehicle stratagem as it’s going to be driven directly at the enemy and will likely die fairly soon.

Ah, yes, lol. I forgot about that
