3 Biovores - 135pts

Total - 2500 pts

Termagaunts form a great big screen and which the Tyrants, Tervigons, Hive Guard and Biovores hide behind, acting as an anvil. Tyrants and Tervigons positioned so that all the Termagaunt units get the bonuses. Trygons deepstrike in, helped by the Tyrants hive commander ability and take out any armour which the hive guard can't take out.

Thoughts, feelings and ideas appreciated.

but jokes aside I like it, I always love when people may out on hive guard, tho those tyrants make me cringe on their points cost.

maybe skim points, and drop the biovores for some gargoyles? just a personal taste ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299701/1657207.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299701/1657207.page GMT Re:2500 pt Nid Horde CC so why not use them for that.

I would drop one unit of termagaunts and a tyrant, put a tervigon in HQ and get heaps more hormagaunts.
This army lacks a bit in combat ability.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299701/1657226.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299701/1657226.page GMT Re:2500 pt Nid Horde
omgnowaiii: The TS, AG, OA and FnP will make the termagaunts a good CC unit, and they can shoot. I hate hormagaunts. I hate the fact that the models they don't stand up, they are mediocre in CC and can't be re- spawned out of a tervigon if they die.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299701/1657291.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299701/1657291.page GMT Re:2500 pt Nid Horde

The guard on them i just gave them because i had the points left over and nothing better to use them for. If i take gargoyles i will need to take some fast moving synapse for them, then i will have a fragile high point unit charging into rapid fire range of the enemy.

Fair points. I still think 2 tyrants is a bit much. Drop one and move a Tervigon into the HQ spot then load up on some more termagaunts. By taking out the cheaper of the Tyrants you can max out on 4 squads of 30 termagaunts. Then all the spawned goodness.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299701/1657325.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299701/1657325.page GMT 2500 pt Nid Horde FYI your gaunts are only about 1 in tall and wont give cover to your MC. they need 50% coverage or your not shooting through the unit. you can mod them out to stand up strate (and look good so the guy across the table dosent b***h). ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299701/1658951.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299701/1658951.page GMT Re:2500 pt Nid Horde
komosunder: I know, but i can hide them behind the tervigons, which would be easier and less cheesy to modding a load of gaunts so their and inch or two taller.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299701/1659775.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299701/1659775.page GMT
