 |  Hive Fleet Chimera I created this list mostly because I was bored, and partly to see if I could. I was surprised to find myself actually struggling to make up 1,500pts, despite the presence of eight monstrous creatures, so I began throwing biomorphs and psychic powers onto the list. I haven't played 'nids before (can you tell?), and I don't have any plans to in the near future, so I doubt it'll ever see the light of day, but I thought I'd put it up anyway. HQ: Hive Tyrant: 141pts Adrenal glands (ws,i), extended carapace, toxic miasma, 2x scything talons Hive Tyrant: 141ptspts Adrenal glands (ws,i), extended carapace, toxic miasma, 2x scything talons Elites: Carnifex: 111pts Adrenal glands (ws, i), 2x scything talons Carnifex: 111pts Adrenal glands (ws, i), 2x scything talons Carnifex: 113pts Enhanced senses, 2x devourers Troops: Ripper Swarm: 110pts 10 bases, leaping Ripper Swarm: 110pts 10 Bases, leaping Fast Attack Ravener Brood: 120pts 3x Raveners; scything talons, rending claws, devourers Ravener Brood: 120pts 3x Raveners; scything talons, rending claws, devourers Heavy Support: Carnifex: 113pts Enhanced senses, 2x devourers Carnifex: 155pts Enhanced senses, mace tail, symbiote rippers, barbed strangler, venom cannon Carnifex: 155pts Enhanced senses, mace tail, symbiote rippers, barbed strangler, venom cannon Total: 1,500pts Fire away!

| HQ: Hive Tyrant: 141pts Adrenal glands (ws,i), extended carapace, toxic miasma, 2x scything talons Okay, this guy doesn't need extended carapace. Since he has not ranged weapons, I would replace extended carapace with Warp Blast Hive Tyrant: 141ptspts Adrenal glands (ws,i), extended carapace, toxic miasma, 2x scything talons Same as above Elites: Carnifex: 111pts Adrenal glands (ws, i), 2x scything talons Slow, but cheap. Expect this guy to get smashed by all sorts of high S and AP2 or 3 weapons. Carnifex: 111pts Adrenal glands (ws, i), 2x scything talons Same as above Carnifex: 113pts Enhanced senses, 2x devourers I like this guy a lot, in fact, he's my favorite Carnifex Troops: Ripper Swarm: 110pts 10 bases, leaping Ripper Swarm: 110pts 10 Bases, leaping I haven't used rippers before, but, I can see them being useful, 30 wounds in one squad... evil! Fast Attack Ravener Brood: 120pts 3x Raveners; scything talons, rending claws, devourers You could drop the devourers to save points, as these guys are going to get shot to pieces really fast Ravener Brood: 120pts 3x Raveners; scything talons, rending claws, devourers Same as above Heavy Support: Carnifex: 113pts Enhanced senses, 2x devourers Same as your elite 'fex Carnifex: 155pts Enhanced senses, mace tail, symbiote rippers, barbed strangler, venom cannon Not sure what the point of mace tail and symbiote rippers.... IHMO you want either CC or ranged on most 'nid units (the only one I can think of thats an exception to this rule is the Hive Tyrant). Carnifex: 155pts Enhanced senses, mace tail, symbiote rippers, barbed strangler, venom cannon Same as above Okay, while I'd never play a nidzilla (all MCs) list, I can see how one would be useful. A mass of gaunts (both normal and hormagaunts), a few 'stealers (usually led by a broodlord, who rules in CC) and then lots of warriors, a 'fex or two, and 3 zoanthropes. Oh, and a Hive Tyrant, is I think the best way to use the 'nids as an army... its only the most fluffy.

Blog Entries: 1 | Aww, Master, don't crtisize! :P I think the list is alright, though i think a few Stealers or Gaunts would have fit in nicely.

| contructive critisism is a good thing! and on that note.... DAAAMMM thats a nasty list right there. those rippers are going to get into close combat very quickly and tear it up 8 montrous creatures in a 1500 point list? if youre going to actually get this army, its going to be sick!! i would change one of the CC elite fexes to be the same as the devourer fex. those are much better, and will do more. CC fexes are meat sheilds, pretty much. for the two tanged fexes, you should give them two of the same weapon. twin linked is much better and specializes the unit. give one a VC and the other a BS. |

| Yep, thats a pretty sick list you got there... I still think you should lose extended carapace, but thats me. I suppose if you fight lots of ML launchers it'd be good.

Oh, and since you guys reckon it's a good list, I think I'll officially move it off the backburner, and onto the... frontburner, I guess, is that a word?

| Ah! Many a time I have considered an army like this... you should do reasonably well with it, but remember that mobile armies will unfortunately have a massive advantage over you! 'fexes are very slow, and even Eldar basic troops can outrun you... apart from that, you should be ok! Perhaps consider a winged Tyrant? I haven't seen one of them used before though. If anything it looks like it will be a really fun list to play! Just imagine your opponents face when you sit 8 MC's down on the table...
