I'm also thinking about Nids, but all the list ideas I've got for them right now kind of fall under the "too much to paint in a week and a half" heading as well.

pretre Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Too many bodies for the crusader in the first list. Unless you're splitting people into multiple squads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Id finish the painting on the pod list and then work toward the big damn heroes list. If you finish in time, bring it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Also, why CAD over CotGW for the first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Too many bodies for the crusader in the first list. Unless you're splitting people into multiple squads. The GH and BC are just walking. By my math, that puts 6 Terminators and 4 PA Dudes in the Crusader, which works. The CAD is because of the BBQHammer restrictions, which only allow two Detachments, unless one is a CAD, in which case you can take a third. It's kind of an odd restriction. If it was wide open, I'd probably just build the whole thing out of CoF Formations, try to get in a ThunderStrike and the Brethren of the Fell-Handed. I'm probably going to be bringing the Pod list, or some variant of it, just because of time restrictions and the amount of painting the other three need, but it really amused me to realize that I actually have everything for the first two now, even if I don't have it painted.

pretre Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Ahh, that is a weird restriction. Yeah, go pod then and kick some ass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 You know I want to see Deathleaper and his Lict-bros. I really want to run that one, but it's a ton of work still to get it tournament ready. I don't even have the T-cyte or second Mawloc built yet, and I'm still waiting on some Venomthrope heads from eBay to finish off my Lictor conversions. Second Flyrant needs a ton of work, the Crone, Rippers, and other Mawloc are just primed :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Model/slot availability as much as anything. Much of my Nid Army is kind of still back in 4th Ed in a lot of ways. That said, in my limited experience with it, I do find that it complements Flyrants nicely, letting them focus on ground attack while it clears the air. The extra Haywire is also occasionally nice against Lists with AV13-14, it's another mobile Template for clearing off little Objective Camper Units, and the Vector Strike can be a nice little additional hit here and there.

galahad911 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 In my experience, they don't do well in singles. I use a pair or I don't bother with them. Just my own observation, your milage may very. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I'll keep it in mind. Given the amount of work I've got to do before I take my Nids to a Tournament, it probably won't be hugely relevant for a while :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PumpkinHead Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Westrider, if you want to bring bugs, I can fill out your roster so you don't have to paint so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Hanaur Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Lol. Who among us can say different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 The other thing is that, as much as I do enjoy the Game in and of itself, the fluff and aesthetics of it are also important to me. That one Mawloc that I listed as "unpainted" is actually painted, just in someone else's colour scheme, since I got it second-hand. I don't want to use it until I've got it redone in my brown and green. It would feel like using my Dark Angels Marines, not as Allies, but filling in as extra Grey Hunters or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Or maybe ThunderScar, now that I've got the bits to do a second Iron Priest on TW: Khan, Moondrakkan Chapter Master, Bike, Artificer Armour, Shield Eternal, Thunder Hammer Command Squad, Bikes, Apothecary, 4xGrav Gun 5 Bikes, 2xGrav Gun, Combi-Grav, Meltabombs 4 Bikes, Attack Bike w/Multi-Melta, 2xMeltagun, Combi-Melta, Meltabombs 2xStormTalon, SkyHammer ThunderLord, Runic Armour, TH/SS, 2 FenWolves WGBL, TW, Runic Armour, SS/Wolf Claw, Meltabombs, 2 FenWolves WGBL, TW, Runic Armour, SS/Fist, 2 FenWolves Iron Priest, TW Iron Priest, TW There are enough FenWolves there that the DeathStar can be Majority Armour Save 6+ if I'm going up against opposing Grav, but it's still Majority T5, and plenty of burly dudes with 2+/3++/FNP to tank, then it can Nova out into 8 different Units when I need to grab Objectives or whatever. Needs a bit more paint than the Drop List, but not as much as the other three. StormTalon, both Iron Priests, a new rider for one TW, and a Khan.

WestRider Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Ive seen a similar list VERY recently I've seen a number of similar lists around. I make no claims of originality here. Even the twist with using the FenWolves to protect against Grav was from some Blog, Battle Brothers, I think. I will also admit that there's some influence from that fact that my only loss last time was against White Scars ;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
