Trygons, Fexes, Raveners, Shrikes, Gargoyles, Mawlocs, etc. Just go and bury them in a sea of non-KP units while your troops hide in reserve, then scuttle onto the objectives.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284608/1416979.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284608/1416979.page GMT Re:How do you make a list for this Mission?! - Nids HS, Elite & 1 Hive Tyrant for my HQ.

What i'm thinking,

Hive Tyrant

Doom of Malantai

Warriors
Stealers
Stealers
Hormagaunts

Trygon
Mawloc

I have to make it 1750 points, this is just a rough of what i'm going to include.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284608/1418828.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284608/1418828.page GMT How do you make a list for this Mission?! - Nids
Tervigon
10 Termagaunts
Tervigon
10 Termigaunts

Possibly get one as an HQ also. I forget which of the heavies (Mawloc?) digs the holes that anyone can deep strike into, but you should get a couple of those and have them dig holes right beside a couple of far objectives. As far as I read those rules, each new spawning of gaunts will be considered a new unit of troops and will be able to come back in when killed.

For a little firepower, maybe get some Hive Guard and deathleaper, possibly zoanthropes in spores, but really focus your points on your troops choices (especially if killpoints is not an issue).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284608/1420604.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284608/1420604.page GMT Re:How do you make a list for this Mission?! - Nids
Also, i only have 23 Termagants so tervigons wouldn't be too good for me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284608/1421333.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284608/1421333.page GMT How do you make a list for this Mission?! - Nids http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284608/1422036.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284608/1422036.page GMT How do you make a list for this Mission?! - Nids http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284608/1422438.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284608/1422438.page GMT How do you make a list for this Mission?! - Nids
My bad, skipped one of his listed rules that those that can deep strike instead come in at the edge. Kind of takes away the Trygon strategy (though the Tevrigons will still be devastating. If they die, they get to come in and start producing again if they shut down earlier).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284608/1422504.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284608/1422504.page GMT How do you make a list for this Mission?! - Nids
Else, I'd say anything that has a good move in it's own turn, so hormagants has a slight edge of all the troops choices.

This reminds me a lot of that sweet 2nd edition tyranid scenario: Tyranid Attack. Great times!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284608/1422519.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284608/1422519.page GMT Re:How do you make a list for this Mission?! - Nids

Great! you have enough gants to have two units of 10, and then 2 Tervigons as troops!
Tervigons are T6 Multi-wound MC's. They are the hardest thing that 'Nids can take as troops.
Just because they CAN spawn gants doesn't mean they SHOULD spawn gants.
