I am posting on behalf of a good friend down at the club.
At the club we play small games of 600pts and this lad in particular cant seem to scratch any army in the club
he uses a prime and warriors as his main hard hitting unit and gaunts with some hive guard to back up the ranks.
Everybody in the club keeps on telling him to use a monstrous creature but he wont due to points cost and I can see his point.Any ideas on this front as he really needs some help
thanks
I take is this is your mate from the tournament? Now i'm mainly an eldar player but i have dabbled with nids in the past. so if this advice still stacks thats great, if not never mind.
ReplyDeleteAt 600 points you have 1 choice, you either go big or go home. I don't mean go monsterous, i mean you pick your theme and run with it. As he doesn't like monsters that fine, he has to spend every point he can on little grubs. Personally i would have gone the monster rout but thats by the by.
If i was him i would drop the tyranid warriors as they are very expensive for what they are and really don't hit very hard or shoot that well, i know the prime helps but shut up, its points he could spend else where.
The list i would use with no monsters (i don't have the codex with me)
Tyranid prime (cheap as possible) 100 maybe?
20 hormagaunts - 160
toxin sacks
20 hormagaunts - 160
toxin sacks
2 hive guard - 100
venomthrope - 55
Any more points get some termagunts. The venomthrope keeps the little bugs alive and the hive guard take out tanks. The rest kill infantry once they are on foot. they will always wound on 4+ and will murder your wraithlord. Just saying.
Personally i would go with
Flyrant
10 termagats
Tervigon
carnifex
its scary and it makes more little bugs. Let me know what he things of the lists.
Cheers mate i will tell him tommorow and i am sure he will take on your advise
ReplyDeletei think we may be playing a few proxy games in the near future XD
