Nids List for Blog Wars 4

A big thanks to Siph and Grazer for helping me make up my mind on what to take to Blog Wars 4.

Here we have it:

HQ

Tyrant   (Paroxysm, Leech Life, Devourers, Wings) 245pts

Swarmlord (2 Tyrant Guard with Lash Whips) 410pts

Troops

Tervigon (Catalyst, Onslaught, Adrenal Glands, Toxin Sacks) 210pts

Tervigon (Catalyst, Onslaught, Adrenal Glands, Toxin Sacks) 210pts

20 Termagants 100pts

19 Termagants 95pts     

Elite

2 Hive Guard 100pts

2 Hive Guard 100pts

Heavy

Carnifex (2 T/L Devourers) 190pts

Carnifex (2 T/L Devourers) 190pts

Total      1850

Fingers crossed it will do alright; it is certainly not the scariest thing in the world, but I am relatively familiar with it and it requires no new models or painting.

I went with the Dakkafexes in the end over Trygons because they offer more anti-infantry - which strangely is something I have had problems with before. They will also lend a helping hand to the Hive Guard at popping light mech and any pesky flyers that might show up.

I’ll post the results after the event.

Wish me luck!

‘Nid DakkaFex - Tyranid Carnifex

Whilst Pornstarjedi and Siph have been having fun at Gamesday, somebody has to work... This is one of my favourite units in the‘Nid army – the DakkaFex has all the benefits of being a Carnifex and has 12 twin-linked S6 shots. Great for thinning out pesky marines or glancing light armour to death. With the current lack of Skyfire available to ‘Nids, the DakkaFex is probably also our best option for taking down flyers.

 

 

Despite having bought three Carnifex kits for various Tervigon and Tyrannofex conversions in the past, this is first time I’ve ever actually built one as it was intended... (darn good job too, great painting fella. I remember BlogWars 1 when two of these smashed my Relictors with 24TL shots!! - Siph)
