If you could choose powers, shit yes but you can't and losing FNP (even though it's weaker) without having a 100% chance to get the FNP/IWND or Iron Arm powers isn't that great.<br /><br />Everything else though = tick :P.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693773850422698445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-30538077905284072952012-07-23T22:53:04.671-04:002012-07-23T22:53:04.671-04:00New armies take money, but I've been consideri...New armies take money, but I've been considering it. They were actually my second army, but I sold off what I had before I ever played them, didn't have the money then to commit to a new army.TheGraveMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202256201375802641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-44570912077178816462012-07-23T22:51:57.239-04:002012-07-23T22:51:57.239-04:00Glad you enjoyed running it, that's a win-win....Glad you enjoyed running it, that's a win-win. linked the post at the top.<br />500points, I'll be waiting for it.TheGraveMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202256201375802641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-22007702179342366732012-07-23T21:00:27.533-04:002012-07-23T21:00:27.533-04:00@TheGraveMind: I'm glad you had a good time. ...@TheGraveMind: I'm glad you had a good time. I had a great time running the event. I'm working on posting the standings now, along with some pics.<br /><br />Hopefully, we can see everyone again at our 500-point "intro to 6th" event (date to be determined).Wienashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16756262005166254202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-61969981149306257232012-07-23T16:03:53.822-04:002012-07-23T16:03:53.822-04:00Play Tau!Play Tau!TheNeverTherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00546704663653589055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-51908489316509888332012-07-23T11:42:06.336-04:002012-07-23T11:42:06.336-04:00@Newbreed, oh ya, having some good luck always hel...@Newbreed, oh ya, having some good luck always helps. 2+ with fnp always scares me cause I have so few ways of dealing with it.<br /><br />@spag, I'm not really saying Tyranids got worse, but I really don't feel they got as good as they deserve. That coupled with what I realized what I enjoyed the most was manipulating the assaults to my favor which is practically gone in 6th. They just won't play the way I liked anymore. <br /><br />I've heard everyone talking about biomancy list, and personally it sounds fun, but not competitive. I don't like random, I want consistent. I'd have to try and roll and get the ones I want, I'd have to try and get past any defense (which I feel there will/should be a lot of at a tournament.) Plus I don't have the models, and really don't feel like spending more money on them at the moment.TheGraveMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202256201375802641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-57597540161249269702012-07-23T10:03:55.141-04:002012-07-23T10:03:55.141-04:00Your win in game 3 was most definitely skill.

Dante whiffing 6 times on the charge didnt hurt :). Great game and great sportsman. Good luck in 6th and you can plan on seeing my IG/BAs again for some more great games!<br /><br />Oh and grats spag and Nem.

Austin who placed 4th in the general ranking I believe has a great list that is going to be tough to beat. His idea is such,<br /><br />3 guant squads with 3 tervigons. He takes Biomancy on all and if you get iron arm your tervigons are practically invincible.<br /><br />He also takes 9 hive guard which rock in 6th with the hullpoints and vehicles not being able to hide behind terrain. This is a great base of an army. When I played a test game aginst him he also took 3 units of 2 biovores which did wonders with the barrage ability to snipe where you want wounds taken from first. He also had the swarmlord and another tyrant which I feel Swarmie was a waist of points, but I guess if he gets iron arm his is beast as well. <br /><br />Of course eldar runes or warding rape the psyhic abilitie of this army but it is a tough list and tyranids got better in 6th! I promise! I wouldn't put them on the shelf yet. And double devourer tyrants are great! Glad you had fun.Spaguatyrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459803772469387289noreply@blogger.com
