PumpkinHead

If you feel like giving up a weekend to hang out with a bunch of gamer geeks, running a beer caddie role might be fun for you. Meet new people, watch games and learn, and hang out with like 99 guys and 1 female. (Maybe 2 if we are lucky). As Intrinzic put it, its all about the relationships and friends. The games are just a fun part to the weekend. Friday night / Saturday night are always good fun with more time to re-connect / make new friends. There are games (board and tabletop), movies, hanging out and talking, the list goes on.

I would put some troops in a transport. It holds true to your theme of tanks, but gives you a chance to win. Tabling your opponent will be your only chance to win with your current list, and you will be paired against people to give you the closest game possible, which makes your chances of winning very low, and makes it hard to pair you up with someone.

What are the guidelines to conform to to start paying?

Where can I find this Thraex? He looks cool enough to incorporate into a bug army :)

Web exclusive items; As in stores wont be able to carry them any longer? Pretty much the entire elite section of the Nids is web exclusive. :(

The document has changed since I wrote that comment.

It also depends if you had the top or the bottom of turn 1. The player that gets the top of turn 1 cannot assault. The player that gets the bottom of turn 1 may assault.

Awesome! 1. Glad you picked the awesomeness known as Tyranids :P 2. Everyone needs a starting game. With 3 of you hashing things out I am sure you did well enough, plus you had fun, so that is all that matters really. Ask away and I am sure we can make things clear as mud for you. :)

I like it. I am a fan of warriors in the back field.

Dancing like a mathematician....

We just need your basement, she can have the rest of the house. :)

Glad to hear. :) I haven't been back there in a while. I am trying to free up my day to make this.

Not to be a downer, but if memory serves me correctly, they only have 3 maybe 4 tables. If we all show up, and the store regulars are there, will we be able to get games in?

Hormagaunts with AG is a price you shouldn't pay for just +1S on the charge. They already have fleet, so a better buy would be toxins sacs, IMO. If you want to keep the regen, put it on the tervigon. Otherwise I agree with Westrider on his suggestions.

AmI reading this right? 2 flying hive tyrants are -7 points straight up? Ouch.

May your referees be better then ours.

Will they hold bugs?

I believe the blinding rule goes something like " any unit hit by a weapon with this special rule..." Which in my mind says it is per weapon, so that would be many blinding checks.

I believe you have to be infantry to use the Trygon's tunnel.

oohhh, T7, W5, w/ regen and crushing claws that add D3 attacks :) Also, elite fexen :)

The gargs go back into ongoing reserve, so they wont come back for a turn. So the whole unit needs to die and then come back. Either via board edge or deepstriking.

If you assume a list something like: Flyrant w/ TL Devs Flyrant w/ TL Devs venomthrope 3 warriors w/ barbed strangler 3 warriors w/ barbed strangler Crone Crone dataslate: skyblight swarm That comes out to 8 FMCs and 5 scoring units. 3 scoring units which can deepstrike and hold objectives no matter what, plus if you kill them there is a 50% chance they will come back next turn and 2 synapse units to hold back objectives and help cast that all important synapse web. I like the warriors for back up synapse just in case my 3 tyrants die an untimely death. Though I am toying with the idea of using genestealers in the backfield with an ADL to help give them cover and they can go to ground... I am not saying this is a friendly list by any means, heck I would almost call it straight Dbag. But this is what I expect to see soon.

There is a sounders game that night, but I might be able to get one game in before heading north. Still tentative...
