Tyranid Swarm on the move!

my 1750 pts list for Sunday's game!

From left to right.

2 Carnifexes with scything talons & adrenal glands

5 warriors, talons and a Tyranid Prime with talons and rending claws, all of them have adrenal glands.

20 termagants

Another 20 termagants

A Zoanthrope

A Venomthrope (not in picture)

Flying hive tyrant in the skytyrant formation with 20 Gargoyles (here proxied as the all purple Gants)
the Tyrant has Talons and a stranglethorn cannon (& wings)

2 Tyrannofexes, acid spray and electroshock grubs

3 warriors, devourers and a barbed strangler

20 Hormagaunts (there's 30 in the picture, ooops!).

-----------------------------------------------------------


So this is my first game with my Nids (I have tried out Tyranids once in a 1k game).

I feel like I should have more synapse, but I might be ok, got 2 units of warriors, a zoe and the Hive Tyrant, I actually considered getting the Norn crown but it's so expensive I could almost fit another Zoanthrope instead!

The 2 Carnifexes are my main anti tank unit, with the Tyrannofexes being able to help out a little and the zoe could potentially warp lance something. Other than that it's mostly infantry mulching with Acid spray, Warriors, Hormagaunts and Termagants.

The Skytyrant formation works like this: A hive tyrant with wings joins two units of Gargoyles. They all become one unit and the Tyrant can make look out sir rolls on a 2+ to the Gargs. Pretty sweet, he can't fly but it's a faster alternative of a melee Tyrant over the Tyrant guard. And the Gargoyles can blind enemies in combat which miiiiight be nice if they pull it off. Going up against Astra Militarum on sunday so instead of boneswords I gave him a stranglethorn cannon.

Backlog batrep #2 - Orks vs Daemons

Objective grabbing time in this ol' batrep between Orks and Daemons.

I actually went full cray cray on the killa kans this time, grot riggers and kustom mega blastas! like whaaaaaaat.... I don't recommend it at all, but it was fun!

Deamon deployment

Morkanaut got that Great unclean one right in his sights!

Big blob o' boyz advancing.. leaving an objective behind in true Orky fashion.

Deamons appearing everywhere, this must be some form of Orky Christmas!

Killa kan blob advancing towards the objective in the ruins... might notice a lack of morkanaut support. That's because one of the bloodletter units one shotted him with some sorta pew pew eye lazor attack! xD

Kairos flapping around, casting spellz!

Killa kans killed the GOU and pretty much anything that got near them

Plaguebearers appeared behind the boyz, Should probably have gone for the uncontested objective instead.

Bloodletters are no match for jacked up Killa kans!

Ork victory, much thanks to the Kans....Looking back at this batrep I gotta wonder where the F my Warlord was all this time? You can see a battlewagon on the left flank on the first picture, but after that he's nowhere to be seen.... He might have gone for the pink horrors, I have no idea.

Anyways, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

edit: I just remembered after looking at the first picture, I tried out Kaptin Badrukk and some tank bustas for this battle. And I kept gets hotting badrukk despite the ammo runts... and then someone killed his ass.

Backlog batrep #1 - Orks vs. Space Wolves

Backlog batreps are simply old' batreps I never uploaded.... Until now!

This was a Big guns never tire battle between my Orks vs some Space wolves 

(before their new codex came out).

My Orks begin the game by rushing towards the Space wolf lines... And the Morkanaut scatters his kustom mega kannon, hitting one of my trucks, blowing it up! The remaining boyz flee back through the ruins! GG Morkanaut.... GG...

The killakans infront advance through rocky terrain and showers the space wolves in a fussilade of big shoota dakka, but ultimately they are sort of in the way for the battlewagon full of nobz, who is taking pot shots with its lobba.

5 Flash gitz disembark from the morkanaut, trying to take out the Long fangs in the leftmost ruin, and despite getting good rolls on their AP, the cover saves most of the Long fangs anyway.

wolves decend upon the ork boyz and make a snack out of them

Warboss Kaptin Gobsmash Da Dredful
and his Nob retinue disembark to take the fight to the thunderwolf cavalry.

Most of the Killa kans were dead at this point but so were the Long fangs, unfortunately they didn't completely die and Space Wolves managed to win.
