Nope. Flamers mean you get assaulted the next turn and XV8s can't handle lowly gaunts. Let alone genestealers or something else fleet, or Monstrous Creature-ish.

Go with FireStorms (BC/MP) for volume, horde killin', and range for safety. Max out your suits, which at 1k, could be more than bugs can handle.

Give us an idea of your models available. What's the bug list likely to be?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444573/4182359.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444573/4182359.page GMT List Suggestions: 1k Tau v Tyranid I can pretty much field anything.

To beat bugs? Max the FireStorms. I mean, if we're gonna tailor to 'nids.

Shas'El - FS (MP/BC/TA, hwMT)
Shas'El - FS (MP/BC/TA, hwMT)
one 'Vre buddy, FireStorm + (as above)

3 full Elite choices, all nine of them FS - no drones:
1. If he isn't shooting, then you want a small unit footprint, making your suits harder to catch in h2h.
2. If caught, you want them to fail h2h that turn, so you get the next round of retaliatory shooting. SDs could prolong the combat, and you don't want that.

If you like Team Leaders for TArrays, then go for it. 12 Firestorms - 36 BC & 24 MP shots, varying between BS3 and BS4. Bugs have bad saves, for the most part, so this'll hurt.

I'd have 2 min FW crews, in dumbfish, with Flechettes.

Round out with a Railhead ... I'm too lazy to figure the points, but I think what I've outlined is do-able at 1k.

Sound filthy enough?
