PumpkinHead Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Would people complain about 5 FMCs (3 Flying tyrants and 2 crones)? The list would look something like the following: 3x Flyrant w/ 2x TL Dev, electroshock grubs 2 venomthropes 1 zoanthrope 3 warriors w/ BS 3 warriors w/ BS 15 Tgants 15 Tgants 2x crone 3 biovores 1 exocrine (or maybe a Tfex) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mr. Bigglesworth Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 That seems like a tourney list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galahad911 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 That seems like a tourney list With the Tyranid book, and this is just my own opinion, there isn't much difference between a "tourney" list and a list designed to at least put up a fight to make for a good game. Crones aren't doing anything but going after troops in general so the only things that are truly dangerous are the flyrants and whatever HS bug he decides to take. On the other hand, if you take those away a Tyranid list is just going to get roflstomped by any "balanced" army unless the guy behind the wheel is an exceptional Nid player. How does one make a list from this codex, with the list building restrictions, that is going to be able to put up enough of a fight to make for entertaining games and not end up looking like something you'd take to a local tourney?

Kingpin Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 3 flyrants is a little overkill for a "fun" list. Spend the extra points on another exocrine or something. That isn't to say I think you should have to change it just what I would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Bigglesworth Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Swarm lists easily fun game if can play fast as the fear of a wave running at you is just awesome who cares about a fighting chance at ofcc. Caps will get your back and pair you. My list would totally lose to swarm I can't remove 150 models from board in the two turns it takes to reach my line. Or foot mc spam big challenge to remove and great stomp when close the distance but the 5 fmc no issue, 3 fly rants with tl devs is. 3 fly rants with different load not an issue.

Guest Mr. Bigglesworth Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Also keep in mind you will have four opponents that you can be paired up with. Communicate with team and make sure you balance with them, if your team is bringing all weak lists and you have the one tourney list that might fly. List I'm thinking of bringing would knock your list out but struggle against ground mc spam and swarm lists. It's the the fact that pairing is decided based on lists to list and opponent personalities should help you find 5 fun games :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Pumpkinhead is familiar with OFCC, he's already been. As his captain, I'm not seeing how this list is anything other than a Nid list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Dealing with five FMCs, including three Flyrants, is going to be incredibly difficult for most armies. A Tau, Necron, or IG list that brings the right tools can potentially do it, but the changes to Grounding checks mean that the vast majority of codices simply don't have any way to reliably hurt such targets. It's certainly true that this is basically the only functional list Tyranids can field, but it's also a list that almost every list will struggle to do anything other than sit back and watch as it hammers them.

PumpkinHead Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 If people are having heartache over 5 FMCs, would the following list make people happier? Though there is strong potential I will get my face stomped by most lists out there. 2x Flyrants 2x venomthrope 1x zoanthrope 3 warriors w/ BS 15 Tgants 15 Tgants 2x Crone 2x Fex w/ 2x TL Dev 1 Tyranofex Living Artillery Node 3 warriors w/ BS 1 Exocrine 3 Biovores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisruptiveConduct Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 I like the inclusion of fexen in yer new list. Acid spray tyranno is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Is that essentially the list I played against at the tail end of 6th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not too much. Unless you do, and that's fine, except when it isn't. Anyways, have fun, and don't worry about winning! Other than the times you need to, and then worry extensively or you won't get to play at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinHead Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Is that essentially the list I played against at the tail end of 6th? Yes. But as I read the rules for 7th more I don't see it fairing well. It will do good against horde, but will have a horrible time against armor. If we re-played our last game of 6th now in 7th. You would smash my face in, because bugs cant deal with vehicles easily. Yeah, but OFCC isn't about winning or losing! It's about, er, making sure that you... win and lose? But not too much.

fluger Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Carnifexes can certainly deal with vehicles. If it makes you feel better, I'd have no answer for your flyers now! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
