ok so Tyranids in malestrom are just garbage, and like Shea when I play Tyranids my only goal is to kill [big bad swear word]. So here is my revised list for OFCC, what do you guys think of the list's viability and do you think it will be accepted to OFCC team event. More troops? More surviveability? more tank hunting? Tau detachment: HQ: Buffmander with the broadside unit Elite: 3 stealth suits 1 w fusion blaster 1 riptide to blow shiz up 3 crisis with 2 TL plasma rifles each troops: 10 fire warriors in devilfish 10 fire warriors in devilfish fast attack: 2x5 pathfinders heavy: 1 sky ray 3 broadsides with TL heavy rail rifles and 6x missile drones aegis D line Tyranid detachment: HQ: 2 x flyrant with TL devourers and egrubs(the haywire thing) troops: 2 x spore cluster

I've always been told its not the size of the D, but how you use it. You gotta hang back and mess with your opponent a bit, and when the time is right, get right up in there for the win.

you guys taking orders and sizes yet, or waiting on final design first?

It is but these days it's pretty easy to spot cheese, such as 5 flyrants, and bad match ups are almost just as easy. Plus I'm a firm believer that 40k is around 30% army comp 20% luck and 50% strat, so bring on the devil eldar and tau my bugs are hungry!

If you want, my best friend is studying computational theoretical physics, he got his undergrad at UW and is now working toward his doctorate at Stanford, if you want his contact info he can probably give you some good advice of classes/possible undergrad degrees he feels are more valuable in that type of field.

Eli if you wanna check out all of the engineering labs i can show you through them. Ill be graduating from the electronics engineering program this June and they are now getting an ass ton of funding for new labs and equipment.

I'm looking for a 40k game Tuesday with anyone. Either against my OFCC Tyranids list or my Tau.

Exchange rates between us and British pound have been crazy the last few years, those prices would have been pretty similar a few years ago. Plus they have to add on shipping costs to us but not for most of England.

only thing i know about IG is when I play heavy infantry I roll over it but when I play heavy tanks IG its really tough... So from a opponents view point brings loots o' tanks. Also the Aegis will be awesome for IG, in fact IG may be only army that may need 2.

Not all of us came have a thousand secure objective tanks/drop pods on the board. Just playin, I accept the short comings of the Tyranids and embrace their awesomeness. But I will always hate dedicated transports with a burning passion.

yes IMO, eternal war missions are extremely tough to make fair. kill points vs an army like mine with 13 single model units is a cake walk.

ya sounds good, see you there.

You know I'm in.

a meeting i had just got canceled Saturday so i literally have the whole weekend off, so you choose day and time.

Well the girlfriend is having a "girls night" Saturday at the house so i gonna try and be out of the house after 6 anyway, but if that doesn't work anytime Sunday would work as well.

Anyone wanna play a 2k point game of 40k this weekend?

I agree now that i see them, all of the Gemini styles were all really cool.

Ok so.... Say I deploy first and I choose to keep a couple lictors in reserves, do I have to declare if he is infiltrating or deep striking before my opponent deploys? Also, if I choose to deep strike, can I later just choose to walk on instead of deep striking?

ya your right, there goes my epiphany. But still 60 points to be battle forged ain't bad. Also not looking forward to your H-dule 1 shotting my drop pods......

they cannot secure objectives, but its not like i'm taking a objective securing unit off the board to replace it with, plus they don't count as victory points when killed. I honestly just wanna get 6 for 90 points and drop them everywhere on the board giving everything in my army shrouded. Imagine a world with 2+ jink for flyrants.... Shea just drop 3 around your H-dule and don't have to worry about synapse.

We can't do that anyway vs a field of secure objective tanks, drop pods, and billions of marines.

And they are fearless

So we are taking a venomthropes for 45 points just for the shrouded. Toughness 4 2 wounds and an elite slot. For the same price we can take 3 units of mucolid spore cluster which have 1 less toughness but have 3 wounds each and can deep strike, and best of all are troops. I am now taking 4 to fill up all my troops to be batte forged, have 4 points of shrouded(probably deep striking 2-3), and opens an elite slot, all for 60 points.

i would still just want the dice with the face replacing the 6 and leave the 1 alone.

i just think the 1 and 6 both being logos may look too similar when you have a bunch on the table and just cause confusion.
