there really isn't a trick to it, just good weapons, and denying the big painful units the ability to assault flavor country, also storm shield terminators.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1731779.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1731779.page GMT Re:Dealing with the nids KP mission by a mile. and Nids are the masters of transport popping (evil hive guard!)

I use a trusty command squad with x4 flamers people will often laugh at this build till they figure out you have a 12" 4 template death squad.

land speeders are surprisingly useful the typhoon will work wonders a harpy is the only thing that has gotten close enough to kill one.
As most Tyranids have a 3+ save. Missiles drop them like a bad habit.

the only major advice i can give is shoot the large guys like the trygon and trannofex and hive tyrant till they die DO NOT split up fire on multiple big guys till you kill the first one (example: don't get excited if you cause 3 wounds on a tyrant and 4 on a trygon neither are dead shoot to kill not to wound!)

My shooting tier is like this


Hive Tyrant
Zoanthropes/Doom
Trygon/Harpies
Genestealers
Tyrannofex/Tervigons
Carnifexes (they can never catch jump infantry but if your silly and run the razorback fail list you are in trouble so kill them!)
other units.

if your opponent takes the flying warrior squad with two bone swords then kill it quick! but that is more of an exception (only one person down here takes it)

just stock up on missiles! (take death company) and remember to shoot to kill...and kinda ignore gaunts...people commit to killing a 100point squad... it is kinda silly throwing a 225 jump squad at 100 points to get charged by the big guys behind them. so let them come to you it gives you 2 turns of dakka and atleast 3 turns of chopping.


hope this helps! too much coffee before work makes me a little eccentric.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1731864.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1731864.page GMT Re:Dealing with the nids http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1731877.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1731877.page GMT Re:Dealing with the nids

no it would not make a dent.......it would make a blood mess! I only take 1 per game and it unleashes carnage on the poor bugs i can imagine that 3 would only magnify the destruction.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1731885.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1731885.page GMT Dealing with the nids
I think Deffdakka has sound advice - you want to pour everything you've got into killing the beasties one at a time. EVERYTHING in that dang list is T6 it seems, so small arms fire is underwhelming. Rapid firing can sometimes put a couple of wounds on (2 wounds on a 6 wound critter isn't exactly going to give you a warm fuzzy feeling) but by the time you're in range for that, you've got a charge coming in next turn.

Plasma rifles and Autocannons worked best for me. Hardly any bugs have an invul save so the plasma is particularly good. Battle cannons and Lazcannons sort of work, but you don't really get enough shots in to bring the monsters down.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1735735.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1735735.page GMT Re:Dealing with the nids lol) and they pummeled me so badly. I still ended up winning the game, but just barely, and he had to shoot up my trukks first. Most the shots we ignored by KFF but once the trukks were gone, MAN I took a beating.

Dunno squat about BA, but if you can do that give it a try, 12 Hbolter shots a turn can chew nids up like you wouldnt believe.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1736870.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1736870.page GMT Dealing with the nids http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1736987.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1736987.page GMT Dealing with the nids
I kill more big bugs with "no retreat" wounds than with direct attacks in my assault army. It works especially well on tervigons, because you can wipe out a unit of gants and the tervigon in one phase pretty often when the tervi explodes and takes out the rest of the gants you didn't get yourself.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1737004.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1737004.page GMT Dealing with the nids http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1737027.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1737027.page GMT Dealing with the nids http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1740106.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/304405/1740106.page GMT Dealing with the nids BA codex, but I don't think that they can take lootaz. Otherwise, it seems like the Baal Preds should pretty much chew up the nids. ML Devs seem like they would do the trick too.
