Not happy about the nerf to nids, but we just have to improvise, adapt and overcome

So considering all the new nerfs, sry, I mean "rules". I've come up with this list.

Its similar to what I've run before. Won a local tournament last week with that list, not against any particularly strong lists though. I had a Kronos Brigade in the tournament as well, only difference from this list is the malanthrope and tyrannofex for some biovores and mucolids.

How I won the tournament was; to put it short, "keep the opponent busy with deep striking units and shoot them to bits with hive guard".

I was surprised over how much I can have in DS. I added the PL's and came to 107, that gives me 53 PL to DS. 33 from the flyrants, 12 from two of the mawlocs, and 8 from 4 ripper bases. One of the mawlocs gets deployed on the board and goes underground T:1 just to let the rippers DS. He can still come in T:2.


So, what do you think?

De we stand a chance with the nerf?

Does this list stand a chance?

Thanks for the comments

If anything was hit by our nerf it was them. :(

Personally. I can see our meta swinging hard one way or the other.
Hoard, where viable and heavy gunline where viable.

I honestly don't see your list standing up to an optimised army like Tau, Eldar or any other gunline :( Sadly.

I think, at the moment. We need need to focus on either going all monsters. or all horde. :(]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755202/9938298.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755202/9938298.page GMT [2000] - Tyranids - Kronos Brigade - Post FAQ CP I think you would have more joy running 2 battalions instead means you pay less tax and take more units that’ll do the job]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755202/9938561.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755202/9938561.page GMT [2000] - Tyranids - Kronos Brigade - Post FAQ

You’re right, pyrovores and meiotic spores are filler units and I’d drop them if that cost me 2 CP’s. 3 CP’s from before the FAQ was a bit harder to pass up on. What should I get for the 136pts I grew up?

I also have the option to get a kraken flyrant with the -1 to hit. That would be nice.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755202/9938665.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755202/9938665.page GMT
