Hi all, just wanted to get some help in figuring out Tyranids at 400 points, bith if they can do well and if they fun to play against!
Actually, I got to say it went way better than I had anticipated in the tournament. Dont know the scores but I think I actually won more than I lost! But, I do have to admit that most of my wins really wasnt thanks to me. Mathias/Marines got a bit carried away and ran forward with his attack bikes that gave me the ability to get a quick charge. Versus Meowth/Imperial guards my dice where on fire really, especially my shooting was crazy.
Other things worth mentioning is that the old saying "to get 2 genestealers to melee is enough against Marines" got proven wrong. Im sorry!
The review the troops I had I got to say that the winner, in terms of what both me and my opponent expected of them, got to be my Gaunts! They most often did their job extremely well, to tie up and annoy the opponent. Besides that they actually managed to score a lot of casaulties!
The tyranid warriors did ok, but hell, they cost 105 points for 3 "dudes". Their shooting was quite ok and their rending claws did surprise.
So, first question, where they a fun list to play against? I thought it was a quite charceristic Tyranid feeling to it, surge across the board and hope some genestealers make it!
Second question, any ideas on what I can do different? Both in army list and on the field? Why im asking all this is that since things are being ordered on monday I figured I both should start some discussion and hopefully be inspired to build something new for the next tournament!
