EDIT: Swapped out warriors for more numbers

[Emperor Fooble]

I like it, but dont really think much of those warriors.
May be personal pref, but at this points level I would think Hive Guard would be better then Zoanthropes.

Just curious, any reason for the No. 13?

[CYPHER]

Warriors were there mainly for a retinue for the prime.

Zoans to give synapse and take care of land raiders and such. Hive guard aren't very good on these fronts.

13 just happened to fit nicely. They started at 15 and when i added everything up i was over 1200. It just happened that 13 fit nicely. 1200pts exactly.

[Crivens]

I like. I can see many possibilities

[CYPHER]

A second option i'm thinking of. I may drop the AG on the trygon so i can swap the HG for a zoan or venomthrope.

Prime, Lash +sword

To the 'H', to the 'G', to the L, M, N, O, P! (If you say it aloud it actually rhymes...)

I think I liked your first list, ie. the one you had before you edited it. Warriors just kill things better

Yeah but i wanted MOAR bodies.

I'll play around we all 3 once i finish exams.

[Emperor Fooble]

I would ditch genestealer squad No. 2 for a second hive guard and more bodies in the other stealer squad.


My memory fails, but if stealers are S5, then adrenal glands would be golden on them, still alright at S4 to help out the rending vs tanks.

true, god (emperor) knows my orks have crumped enough APCs in their time
hahaha cypher can testify to that as well! I think you might just have to give them all a couple of goes and see which one you enjoy using the most

[CYPHER]

Anyone feel like having a couple of games this weekend?

[Emperor Fooble]

I'd love to. Just gotta find a time. Am free tonight (friday) and possible later saturday, we are having a garage sale. And free some point on sunday, I have to go haloweening. Which may be later in the day

[CYPHER]

Tomorrow arvo then maybe? What times suit you?

EDIT: actually PM me the details rather than post here.

[CYPHER]

So the list seemed to work ok. I have some trouble with the land raider (only trygon and zoans could hurt it) and Nurgle's rot did wonders at killing my gaunts.

I am most worried about playing IG though because they have so many guns, but i guess i'll have to get better at judging my range so i only have one turn in rapid fire range.

EDIT: Thanks for the game fooble. If anyone else ever feels like having a game on the weekend just PM me.

[CYPHER]

Going to try running bare bones gargoyles. Hopefully i can screen my units better/get there faster.

Anyone up for a test game this sunday?
