AgentP Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 A couple of these new formations look really, really, neat. In particular I like Sporefield Formation has infiltrate, and anytimes unit is destroyed, on a 4+ it comes back in ongoing reserves. 3 Mucolid Spore Clusters3 Spore Mine Clusters and Hyptertoxic Node Poisoned models gain the instant death rule on a roll of a 6, and Toxicrenes gain instant death on a 5 or 6. also the Hive Tyrant has Toxic Miasma and all tyrants within 12" can use Toxic Miasma each turn. 1 Hive tyrant1 toxicrene3 Venomthropes It's unfortunate that more tournaments don't allow multiple formations; a lot of tournaments I've been seeing are 0-1. It would be really cool to run Sporefield and Hypertoxic together. You could theme an army nicely around that. In any event, I'll definitely be running one of these in the future, to try them out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Personally, I think the formations should all be banned... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I think those that want formations banned, should be banned themselves. Ban the banners, pre-banned for banning! Jokes aside, that first one looks fun. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PumpkinHead Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Not sure I am a fan of hyper toxic node. It gives you the same thing as a bonesword. Toxic miasma isn't going to do much damage, and it makes the tpxicrene a bigger priority. I would rather take a skytyrant group with half the gargs with poison and the tyrant with lw / bs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentP Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I'm not over hyped about formations that double down on the auto-include flying tyrant. They're good, no doubt, but feel like more of the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 SkyTyrant is far and away my favorite. Makes a Combat Flyrant really viable, which at least gets away from all Dakka Flyrant, all the time. Plus I love anything that lets me take more Gargoyles outside the FOC, because there are a lot of Nid FA options I really like. Spore Field is cool in RAW environments, but in places that limit you to two Detachments, I don't feel like it's good enough to take over a SkyTyrant, Skyblight, or LAN. Hypertoxic Node is OK, but I find the requirement of three individual Venomthropes kind of obnoxious. Also, it bugs me because the fluff says that the purpose of the Formation is to take on Super-Heavy Vehicles and Titans, and it does absolutely nothing to help against those :P The Maleceptor one is just bad. Hideously expensive for a fairly minor buff on mediocre-terrible Units. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
