Hey guys
here in Australia we're big fans of NetEA (well, all ~30 of us that play in Melbourne, anyway) and our good man Dobbsy who participates in these forums will soon run the third (or is it fourth!?) edition of Heavy Bolter.
Three of us who have Tyranid armies are being kept from playing them because there is no Nid list approved by the NetEA community, nor is one in the 2012 tourney pack.
"
Madness, I said. Of course there's a Tyranid list. Why wouldn't there be? Whatcha smoking, dude? That's crazy talk...."
Turns out, there actually
isn't.As any of you who have ever painted a Nid horde knows, they're a right pain the butt. Having finished them and unable to use them in an official form, we're pretty peeved with this.
Not a BAD sort of peeved, more of a "really....wow that bites" sort of peeved. The friendly, disappointed "I'll use Eldar/Marines/Chaos" instead sort of peeved. But still peeved an entire high profile 4ok race is wiped from the playable universe because we can't get a list approved.
So we can drag on our Epic related drunken discussions evermore, what's the reason/history/rationale -
if any - that this is so?
Why is there no approved list? I'd expected there was ONE approved list no one liked and lots of experimental lists that aimed to offer different outlooks on it, perhaps, but no list at all I don't understand....
Anyone have some advice to offer on this?
With much respect and a little friendly peeveness
Steven
