Since Hena Chroma said that he is planning the next itteration of the list I thought I would start a thread on concepts that we think that should be included

So here I go

Spawning
Infantry 1 pip
Light vehicles 2 pips
armoured vehicles 3 pips
War engines 2/3 pips per DC

Raveners
+1 FF

Harridan
Lose breath attack
reduce DC to 3
reduce transportation to raveners and gargoyles
Reduce claw attacks to MW
Gain invulrable save

Vituperator
Lose breath attack
reduce DC to 4
reduce transportation to raveners and gargoyles
Gain invulnrable save

gargoyles
skimmer instead of jumppack (I'm going to keep on pushing this one ? :D )

Screamer-Killer
FF5/6+
remove bioplasma
? reduce MWCC attacks to 1 ?

Exocrine
reduce speed to 15cm

Hum... Its Chroma that has kept the list going not me. I just have been commenting on it... a lot it seems .

Really? you're right. oh well someones fault I expect, not mine though.

Raveners. I would keep it as is. Perhaps drop the cost to 25. I would like to see the situation where the LV status could be used in its favour before removing it. Although if agility is dropped... then we need to restructure LVs again.

Well I put in +1FF to represent the shear number of grubs a devourer armed ravener can do.


Harridan. Why raveners and gargoles? Weren't raveners burrowing things? Claws could be dropped to MW. Monstrous was it? I'm not sure about breath, but I don't have much on opinion on this. Perhaps need to drop cost as well with these changes?

Well I see raveners as worm like, thus able to snuggle into the carrying pouches.  Also I agree that they should have a points cut.  25-50pts


Gargoyles. I don't take sides.

take mine :)

Screamer Killer. I really like the 2MW attacks here. But only 1 normal so thats 3 in total. While the SK did have the plasma ball attack, I'd be happier if it didn't have FF ability. Since everyone keeps saying its too good, this is the best way to keep it extremely good.

I'm to two minds of the SK attacks.  I definatly want them to have a FF, I hate it when a brood was FFed to death.  As to the attacks 2MW should have a point hike.


Hormagaunt 20cm move (I don't give this up until fat lady sings or Maksim changes his list ).

With or without infiltrate?

Also when did they list get a fat lady?  It isn't on my force org chart.

Or is it the dominatrix?  She is kinda large, though I don't know if she can sing very well :D


I've also had my carnie brood assaulted by a large phallanx.  They deployed just within 15cm and I spent two rounds ambling towards them before giving off and running for an objective and spawning (14 on three dice :p )

The lyco is more of a snail to me. :D

Also I'm (trying to) convert a daco with legs.

Though I agree with the haruspex.

Well, now with a new Champion coming out, I probably won't be releasing anymore WIP .pdfs.

We'll just have to wait and see where the new Champion wants to take things.  

Thanks for all your support for the WIP lists!

Hi Chroma, Rag and Gang,

If I didn't say it before, I want to say it now:

I really appreciate all of your work on the 'Nid lists. It has kept the ball rolling and that's what matters.

Thanks, guys!

The new Champion will take over after me and we'll see what happens. I, for one, will support the new Champion the best I can whether I agree with the direction the new Champion takes or not.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
