Okay it is the last day of term and I'm a lab tech, so I've got nothing to do but work on the nid army list.
One thing that has always bugged me is the nids lack of areospace operations. I remember possible hearing somewhere that we arn't allowed aircraft. But I'm not sure where from or why. We have fighters and assault boats in BFG so why not Epic?
The harridan is stated as having a top speed of 200km/h and a cruise speed of 100km/h. So surely we could have a creature capable of faster speeds hat wasn't a transport. A creature to take down the annoying prey flyers that bomb our synpase nodes.
evolving something like that isn't to difficult (just give it a pusher chamber with a bioplasma injector). So without further ado. I give you the Harpe.
type speed armour close combat fire fight
aircraft bomber 6+ - -
weapon range firepower notes
devourer bank 15cm 2xAP6+/AA6+ fixed forwards arc
scything talons base 2xAA5+ fixed forwards arc
contact dangerous
notes: independant
Dangerous - If a harpe causes any hits with its scything talons then it to will suffer a hit on 6+
interceptor - Despite having the speed catorgory it may make interceptions and CAPs.
1-4 per swarm
What you all think? I have it the bomber movement to represent that 'nid aircraft are slower. The dangerous rule is to represent them flying into the enemy instead of making a fly-by. Also I have a greatimage of sending these on a mad dash against an approaching marine lander, only to see them smash off its armour
