<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "[1850] - Tyranids - Tyranid Air Force"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net [1850] - Tyranids - Tyranid Air Force Here's a Tyranid list with an Airforce theme, pretty much all fliers except for a tyrannofex that drops in a tyrannocyte. It uses a Leviathan detachment and a CAD.

I'm looking for any thought, ways to improve, or just basic criticisms of the list.

Does it sound fun to play, too over powering, or will it get wrecked?

Also, is it possible to null deploy with this list (I'm pretty sure everything can deep strike or reserve in)? I'm just a little confused on how that works. Will my opponent auto win if I don't have anything on the table turn 1 or 2? How does null deploy work?

Let me know what you think Dakka! I appreciate any comments. Thanks!

Here's the list:

Automatically Appended Next Post:

Well, I got the answer about the Null Deployment in another thread, so that is all cleared up.

Looks like I will put two or three flyrants on the board, and hope they survive long enough for the other stuff to arrive. Once (or if) they get in the air, they should be relatively safe.

We'll see. I'm hoping to get a game in next weekend.

But I'd still like some feedback on the list.

The idea is to table the opponent.

So you think I need some obj secured units?

I honestly don't see how my list is much different than other maxed flyrant lists, other than the crone and the harpy.

To replace them with three hundred points of termagaunts just doesn't seem worth it.

But thank you for the input!

Definitely food for thought.

I don't know about dropping all of the ESG, but I think you are probably onto something with the troop tervigon and gaunts.

Better to avoid fighting a Necron Decrion army? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693425/8721497.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693425/8721497.page GMT
