The list below is what I came up with, perhaps some of you guys can help refine it...!

Biovores, Hive Guard, Zoanthropes, Tervigon and Flyrants start on the pad with the furls up providing them with a 4+ invul. That should help against early shooting.

Flyrants can then fly off and do their thing, hopefully with Catalyst on one of them so they both have FNP (if all else fails perhaps the Zoans will get it).

2 Large squads of Termagaunts outflanking providing 70 S4 shots should kill something, and finally a Tervigon to produce backfield scoring Termagaunts.

This sort of goes against most Nid armies on the basis its quite a sit back and shoot type list but I think its a start. Could work quite a few ways with different units but this is what I came up with first.

Does anyone know btw, despite the 4+ invul, do the wings on the SLP give a cover save as well? If so a Venomthrope would help as you would have a 2+, 4++ that way which is pretty damn good!!! This would also help the Flyrants stay alive if you dont get first turn...

Maybe my plan isn't completely nuts...


If I could get hold of 9 biovores it is a list I would try as well. Give them a 2+/4++ with 9 large blasts a turn is going to be massively annoying for anyone to play against.

I would definitely hide a venomthrope in there and maybe lose the hive guard. Second 30 gant squad could maybe go to a 3 man warrior squad with a BS to sit with the biovores and add an extra large blast. Love to see a crone or harpy in there as well somehow. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/579128/6529355.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/579128/6529355.page GMT 1850 Quirky Nid List - Skyshield Landing Pad... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/579128/6529452.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/579128/6529452.page GMT 1850 Quirky Nid List - Skyshield Landing Pad... imo venomthorpes are not nessesary with sslp, I mean there is only a .166666 difference and half of the games you have you have night fight turn one so its already a 2+. as for late game. its at least 45 points that could be spent else where. I have play tested both and I don't think venoms are worth it unless your taking a different fortification. my opinion take it or leave it, I know a lot if people will disagree with me]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/579128/6529520.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/579128/6529520.page GMT 1850 Quirky Nid List - Skyshield Landing Pad... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/579128/6529610.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/579128/6529610.page GMT
