Shrike thing? He can get wings. How does he keep up?

So tyranids are forced to take a unit that no one takes ever as it is not even close to useful?? Most army have a cheap ic, tyranids is like 125 base. No profit for taking it for sure.

Thanks for the info and Ideas

SOme one the Tyranid hive pointed this out. Independent Characters can join a units in a T-Cyte...Hive Tyrant's join Tyrant Guard exactly like Independent Characters...Hive Tyrant and it's Guard can go in the same T-Cyte? The new faq says the can leave now as well. So Tyrants for Hive Guard are IC now.

Would the Nova missions be a draw to play locally for a change of pace? I ma looking at doing a Charity tournament for my father in-law with cancer and was thinking about formats that are different from the ITC. Any thoughts on the nova format or others for this purpose? I know some people in the Portland area did a charity event in the last year. how that work out?

I am looking at setting up a charity tournament for my father in-law that has cancer. In approaching a store to be able to use there space what should I keep in mind for pricing and the store needs? Pricing for the event is a concern I am not sure how to do it. Entry fee to high no one comes to low no money is made for the charity. I was thinking 35. Also food should it be included? The Tournament should have a different format or should it keep to the same style that's common in the area? I was thinking full painted is not needed but if you are you get 1 reroll per game. Also how about before each game for 5 dollars you get 2 reroll for that game? I was thinking about a Highlander tournament or maybe a Ard-boys ITC style tournament. I have some nice items as prices and or auction item's already. I will be thankful for any advice on doing this. I have a store that said they may be able to help but we need to talk about things. Please make me a informed person. LOL

Thanks for your words of support.

I have found some old metal Britionian models as well metal. I also have a large unit of Treekin,a mix of metal and fine cast. I also have a nicely painted high elf dragon with lord with axe.

I am not trying to piece meal these out. My farther in law developed Cancer and we are trying to raise some money to get him to treatment in Mexico. I am letting the armies go for a very good price as time is a factor. Looking to sell Tau have a lot of the older crisis suits, one riptide, I have 2 hammer heads tanks. two D-fish, the new fire warrior box of troop choices and 12 fire warriors. Also I have 3 old style broadsides, a one fast skimmer. pathfinders, Metal HQ ethereal. Have some spare bits I think I have some of the parts to make one of the Hammerheads in too at lest one anti air tank. Not sure what to ask for this batch of Tau to be honest. It is a solid number of models to play Farsite tau if liked. I do have a Base Codex as well. Will consider best offer for these. Also Necrons elites Praetorian guard, and lichguard with sword and board, 30 plus warriors, 10 immortals troop, 11 wraiths lots of scarabs, 3 spiders and 3 annulation barges, a few different HQ, plus one flyer.. I have some nicely painted Lizardman models and some not painted if you are looking to get into Age of Sigmar Let me know if you are interested I can't recall info on that. Please let me know if interested.

Iyanden ruling is nice. But it has been so long since it came out I have no idea what they rules for it is now. Can you us it with the warhost setup? Or only in a CAD. Are Wraith units troops? I remember the Wraithknight or lord could be made a HQ if you liked.

My wolves did work you can ask any of my opponents. With the void shield gen. I was able to kill what I wanted for the most part. As for my bugs I would have had real big issues with my Tyranids wit the Second player. Kill points with knights and Riptide wing is really hard. My 5th round opponent with the 8 riptides would have eaten me for lunch. My bugs would have done ok I think. But I don't know about how the would play out. I run with only 3 flyrants and a odd collection of unit that I have a lot of play time with. I learned a lot of charging with the wolves which I wouldn't not have learned with the Nids. With almost every top table getting a tie in the 2nd round it made life interesting for the rest of the tournament. LOL I think we are all getting use to the format. It was crazy!!

We hat game is being played?

how are you inbarked in a drop pod? As you roll for the power after reserves..

I don't play that way. No supper friends. I don't have a wolf star too say.

No more hit and run wolf stars. Is good for the game. But can you take sky hammer as ally with or not.

why is there two sport and two paint? scores?

Was great fun. Looking forward to the Next one. Crazy amount of ties. The Renegade army with a crazy number of thud guns. Did he have like 8 to 10+ maybe. Army with 8 riptides. 3 IK unit with a Caden Caster Daemon Factory and Conclave giving all 3 IK the Knight Unit AV14 front and AV 13 the rest was just crazy good. Did you see anyone using The fulmination Power at the tournament at all? There was several armies with conclave and not one person rolled for that discipline.. I asked and everyone of the players said why would even role on that table now.. That nerf need to be relooked at and adjusted since it just made the whole discipline like Pyromancy. With out the VSG I would have been toast with all the crazy amount of shooting that was there. Some first turn assaults would have be refreshing after dealing with all the crazy amount of shooting a lot the those list put out. That * riptide whole army got to shoot me 3 times with full BS before I could even get to charge him. In fact he charges me instead. LOL Only couple SM and no Gladius at all. No Tyranids this time around ether. Crazy

The tournament ended and I went 1-1-3. The tournament was crazy. We had over 14 ties. The winner had 4 wins and a Draw After 5 games. No one had a perfect win record. All my games where close coming down to game in roll on all but the Final games. As for the List it self it works really well. All of my opponents had just a few units on the table. I made some bad charge choices in my 3 loss's. I am not us to multi charging units and made some blunders. Game 5 that cost me the game more then likely. I faced turn: 1 A sky hammer, gray knight list. Win for me 10 2 3 Imperial Knights with a riptide wing. Any other mission but Kill Points with the IK I would have won. It is hard to win when he only has 9 with just 6 models. 3 I played a rematch of my Storm of Silence turn one. Jeremy Veysserie, The French Overlord as he known to some, played me with his Tau riptide wing and plasma death star. This time my dice where average and a little luck at times. Not multi charging turn 2 in to a riptide and his death star I feel coast me the game. It was a great game I killed his Star and 2 riptides turn 2 with my thunder wolves. I got a luck 7 for double movement from the Murderpack, He had killed all of my podded Wulfen but 1. I didn't combo one of the thunder wolves in to a third riptide which game him s extra fire power to keep me from reaching him as he ran away. He played smart and won victory out of my hands. It was a hard loss as I should have had him. Loss with 6 points 4. Raven guard Dimi with Skyhammer and a formation scouts outflanked which allowed the Vanguard not to scatter,, Also the Vanguard vets could charge as well Out of deep strike as well. So 4 assault pack units that assaulted out of deep strike. Was interesting. Lost turn 5 Because of a 12 inch charge and the game ending on the dice roll of a 1. Turn 6 I would have tabled him. I lost with 4 points. 5 Was Vs a 8 Riptide list. Riptides have been my bane all tournament. In short he shot me with his whole army at me twice turn one.. Then twice turn 2 Counting over watch. What little survived didn't the numbers to kill 3++ MC in combat. It was a rough game. I made a mastake in charging that would have allowed me to possible be able to win. but I don't know. By this time I was worren out. Loss with 0 points. All of my opponents where great and We finished all our games well with in time. The games ending on turn 5 a few times was frustrating As I only needed two kill a couple of guy's to table. I was on the top tables for the first 3 rounds then drop to the bottom of the pack. I learned a lot about the list, how to multi-charge and I think I may have a new way to run it. As for the list. With the current rulings it is a beast. Every army I faced was left with only a couple of models left on the table. Entail they change the VSG rules it allows this army to position to its best advantage. The two wolfen units dropping in are just crazy. I had everyone shoot the (please do not swear) out of them and I always had a few survive. I had two IK charge a unit of three Wulfen. One Wulfen failed to save a str 10 impact hit. It then died and got to hit at I 10 with 4 attacks which turned in to 5 attacks which proceeded to kill the IK that killed it before it could swing in combat, giving me warlord . The other two wulfen in the unit did two hull points only to the other knight. The +2 for the wulfen chart is nice and I was moving 15inches or 24 in the movement phase almost every game at lest once or twice. The Libby is the only thing I think I will change if I keep the list as IS. Getting another Thunderwolf IC would be better I think. Needing to find a way to help make the Wulfen more survivable in the pods. I think I am going to take a close look at the sky hammer formation. I may lose a unit of thunder wolves and the VSG to do this but I think it could be worth it. those two units do a lot of work if they survive. All and all it was a good time and a lot of fun.

This tau star is no joke but to use it to full effect in the meta you would problem need to look at Terra's. I know sacrilege. They are effective.

Is the link working? It is not for me. Never mind found the link on the tournament web page.

Looking forward too it.

Which of the 5 missions are we using out of the 6 options? Looking forward too this.

Yes we will be happy. How many total allowed?
