Subject: Warhammer 40K Video Bat Rep #252 Space Wolves vs Tyranids
InControl's new Tyranid list featuring a Dimachaeron and Malanthrope from the new IA2 book take on Frankie's new and improved Thunderdome Space Wolf list in an 1850pt video bat rep!
Yes! I hope this one lives up to the Nids vs Maulerfiends battle.

Yep. You can make a walking Tyrant, a Flying Tyrant or a Swarmlord. (Or all three if you magnetize. Though this was better before the Flying one became indisputably superior)

Yeah I checked out the GW site a bit ago and saw that awesome model complete with all the options... Guess I just ignored them the last few years.
I'm def going down to my local and picking up that sealed Nid Dex! I'll rummage through my old Nids and see what I can salvage. I finally came up with a paint scheme I liked then something happened and I stopped. Nwo there are these monstrous creatures.
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you and to hear the lamentations of the women.

Frankie's thunderdome wolves appear to have trouble against bugs. I think he's 0-3 against Dimachaeron nids. Against my Dimachaeron nids, my dima chewed up his lords, killing 4 TWC Wolf Lords!!!
Basically, the dimas wil shine against assault armies because then they will see action. However, against shooty armies like Tau or Eldar, they probably won't live long enough to do anything. It's a hit-or-miss unit, but when it does hit, it hits hard. In any case, the dima brings back not only respectability, but fear to assault nids and that's something we've been sorely lacking for about 2 editions now.
He's trygon stats with regards to Wounds and Toughness. However, on the charge, he's got 7-10 S8 attacks and he causes Instant Death on a 4+. He's also I8 and WS8. This guy will kill anything without an Invuln save in combat.

Did the Wolf Warlord die from Overwatch or combat? And did you play that MCs can use two guns when Overwatching?
Yeah, I think from what I saw (and remember Geoff saying) he died to overwatch. From what I understand, I believe that all MCs fire weapons as they would in the shooting phase but I know there's contention on that.
