I have only just began playing the game back in September with Black Templars and even more recently (The new year) began my second army now of Tyranids. I am in the process of scourering the internet looking for information. This was very useful and good to see folks having fun playing their Nids armies!Hiking Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17606998818246272913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-63273551334029759712011-01-28T18:46:05.339-08:002011-01-28T18:46:05.339-08:00@OST

The threat presented in 1500 isn't great enough to justify taking a 280 Swarmlord. At 1500, you really just want to play with the cheaper Warrior Primes. If you really do insist on taking the Swarmlord, you need to either drop Hive Guard down, drop a Trygon, drop some gaunts, maybe lose a Trevigon, and not take Deathleaper (or Tyrant Guard) at all. In fact, you might want to lose a Genestealer squad all together. Nids suffer greatly at lower point levels I think. They just don't have enough power without able to play a healthy mix of MCs and other threats.HEROhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16578445512892020612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-14303067977771279062011-01-24T12:20:10.350-08:002011-01-24T12:20:10.350-08:00Hey HERO,

Your list is the closest thing to liking that i've gotten yet. The only problem is, I only play 1500pts.

I love playing my Swarmlord. <br /><br />I agree with your summary. Tyranids is a fun book. New Nidzilla can scrape bye as a competitive list.

Therefore ONLY ONE of your tervigons counts as a troop option (the other one can go as an HQ entry, since you have a slot vacant). <br /><br />Nevertheless, this is a brutal army... c'mon ya guys! It has got everything: Swarmlord is a beast of resiliance and assault... Death leaper's special rules combined with shadow in the warp leaves oposite psychers pulling off their airs and there´s plenty anti-transport shooting, excelent cc units, 2 trygons in deepstrike for those A14 vehicles and finally 2 terv's that can boost other units, breed countless short guys and one of them (just one LOL) can still claim objectives. <br /><br />As a Nid player I must say this is a bit different from my roster but quite frankly I like it a lot.Carlos Jantaradahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01216790590203764114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-22425278886097781602011-01-24T00:27:49.716-08:002011-01-24T00:27:49.716-08:00Yeah, my other option is to drop the Deathleaper f...Yeah, my other option is to drop the Deathleaper for 2x Hive Guard w/ Lash Whips.
