| Re: 1500pts of scary doom! If Nidzilla is what you are going for than that is about as good as it gets right there. The only thing I don't like are rippers, but that is just a personal thing of mine. They never seem to do much and I usually end up loosing them in close combat with out much thought to it. As a tourny list that looks sound, just be warned that most people hate playing against Nidzilla and will dock you for army composition. Just my two cents, Servo |

 anyways, i think the main weakness of the list is the armour save issue; most things are only 6+, while all the TMC's have just their basic 3+ save... i think against any kind of missile launcher heavy force, or plasma heavy tau, the big bugs will get shredded badly! the rippers are thrown in because my friend really wants to use the ripper bases as she'll be heavily converting them to be devourering space marines! cheers!

I can see where your concern lies, but in that small of a points game, do you really think you are going to see that many Missle/plasma heavy armies. I know around here you won't, but I am not sure about your area. The only force around here, besides mine of corse  , would be a nurgle army with lots of melta/plasma shooting goodness. Servo | |

and yes, deathguard do worry me as the combination of T5 + feel no pain is plain silly! thousand sons are also a huuuuuge! concern due to all those ap3 bolters + S5 doombolts they can throw about... luckily by the time my friend gets her army up and scuttling, 5th edition will have landed and thus the ass-can goofiness will have lessened quite a bit... cheers!

| Re: 1500pts of scary doom! Well that there is one heck of a list. Stitch you are really good at this lol. Anywho, I agree with servo on the rippers, but you've already covered that. If it was me I would try to get points for warp field on that tyrant. I also dont see the use of rending claws on the fexes. They're already monstrous creatures. As you've said, I can see 1ksons hurting this really bad. Dunno what to do about that. Overall very scary list stitch. *Scrambles to find some way to copy it but make it different at the same time* Oh, one more thing. Do you have all/most your nids painted? If so, I'd LOVE some pics of em. Yes, I've seen your skill with the almighty paint.

the rending claws i threw onto the 'fexes because they're dirt cheap. sure it will soon become 100% useless, but the pts saved let me get spine banks which are dead handy! (2 twin-linked S6 shots + frag 'nades!) the only real use for these two 'fexes is to act as bullet magnets and keep the pressure off my synapse gribblies... as for actually building the army, well it will have to wait untill *after* i finsh; a) 106 heresy-era thousand sons + 20 or so vehicles b) angels of origin chaos army for use as my staff army c) 1500pts empire, again for use as a staff army i do have a colour scheme set though - tausept ochre for the skin w/kommando khaki highlight, grot green for the armour plates, red'ish brown mix for the guns, macharius orange for the stabby bits & black w/gloss varnish for toxin sacs and such! looks quite sickly and gross too!cheers!

| Re: 1500pts of scary doom! Yea that would rippers would be awesome that way. I'm really sad to hear that you have such a big... long... list of things to do before nids. Oh well, I will wait patient and eager. Must... learn... to paint... AWESOMELY! Well, I'm somewhat close, though nowhere near you stitch. Anywho, I'm off to go camping. It's gonna be just me, my parents, my sister, 3 bros, and my paint. Oh, and my codex. Wish my friends could come lol.
