Greetings Broodlings!

Here's a Tyranid variant to use once all your Tyranid Warriors have been killed!  *laugh*  This is, essentially, the Tyranid "armoured regiment/siege breaker" list... though I might have to figure out how to put some "ignore cover" in there.

(I'm noting and considering everyone's thoughts and comments about LVs, along with other issues, and just wanted to put together something "light" for people to look at.)

Chroma, you are single handily trying to bring down everyone's internet connections by forcing everyone to download 17 million different PDF's at once aren't you? Admit it  :evil:

I no longer have the time to grab all your stuff let alone read it, slow down  :oh:

When the Muse hits, I can't quits!  *laugh*

Once I get my Idea Engine spinning, it's hard to keep up at times... prepping for my long-running D&D campaign, which has a session on Sunday, should eat up some of that energy... *laugh*

And I wanna get a lot more "EPIC: Total War" stuff done as well... when I'm not gardening.

To be honest I don't think it's sufficiently different from a normal Phase IV list.

For an armoured force I'd like to see the assault spawn in as common broods. New carnifexes are nice but I'll probably never be able to use them (It's below my comfortable modelling size).

I would like to see one of the shooter fexes folded into the carnifex from the main list as an alternate weapon config.

You could have had least put a Bio-Titan list up  :devil:

TK(2) on the stone crusher? Surely that should be 1 or D3? Fixed 2 damage is unusual to say the least...

Yeah, that's a typo, should be TK (1).

Thinking about putting a "Linebreaker Swarm" of Hierodules in the Independent section.

I wrote a biotank list for the nids 2 and a half years ago, that focused on bio AVs.

Here it is for ideas (I've removed the special rules section since it was written for V1.20)

I am quite happy I noticed this :) I was half-planning a jungle world based mini campaign sometime in August between Eldar and Flesh Tearers with local lifeforms providing some "random encounters" in between. A Tyranid armor list would be perfect for that!

We'll see how it goes.

With several new lists a month chances to playtest can become somewhat limmitted.

Keep up the good work though.  Its definitely appreciated.

Glad you like the list, sd, but be warned it's highly experimental and untested and may seem changes if it continues to be developed.

Any battle reports would be greatly appreciated!
