Eric-Chern and I had a game yesterday (17 Aug 04) at Hobby Monkey in Rocklin, CA: 3,000pts Nids vs. SMs...
It was nearly an identical game to the one that Chuck and I played... the Nids did a pretty darn good job of stomping the SMs with a Dominatrix-led super Gaunt horde.
---
Eric brought the following SM units to the field:
- x1 Tactical Squad with commander
- x1 Devastator Squad with Razorbacks
- x2 WW detatchments
- x1 WW detatchment with a Hunter upgrade
- x4 Landspeeder detatchments, each totally upgraded to Tornados with a Librarian each (to beef up CC)...
It was a relief to finally not face Eric's maximized Termie list!
I, the Nid player, brought:
- Dominatric-led Gaunt Horde
(I think it had 57 stands of Gaunts!... x4 Zoanthropes and x2
Ravagers)
- Hive Tyrant-led Gargoyle Horde
(It had x2 Zoanthropes and the x3 Tyranid Warriors as well as about 23 stands of Gargoyles)
- Hierophant Bio-titan
- x3 Genestealer independants (to hold objectives)
---
After two turns, the Nids had lost a lot of stands, but weren't
hurting too bad despite the Hive Tyrant Horde taking a real pasting.
After two turns, the SMs learned respect for Nid Hordes: they lost the Devastator detatchment and two or three Landspeeder detatchments.
At the end of turn two, the Nids were in place to pulverize the
remaining SM detatchments and Eric and I called it a game. Eric and the SMs fully had one objective and had one contested objective.
Maksim fully had four objectives and contested one additional
objective.
Eric and I came to the conclusion that the Nid list could use some MORE playtesting... LOL 
---
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Yes, load a couple of flights of Vultures with bug spray and let them have it, should be no problem (after the 'nid lists have been tweaked of course)

I just ran across a thread in the official Epic/SG boards giving my the idea that Feral Orks might never happen?
Here's the thread:
http://specialist-games.com/forum/topic ... PIC_ID=487
How is the new forum? I haven't joined yet but from the looks of it I don't think that there's much Epic going on! It's all moved here?

It does sound bad, but I heard that the release of other minis, specifically Wood Elves for WH, has delayed the release of Feral Orks.

Information from Trolls tends to vary widely in quality and reliability. It's certainly unsettling, but I'm not going to get bent out of shape until I hear it from an official source.

Not to sound overly negative but... since WHEN has anything concerning Specialist Games releases been heard from an official source? And I guess the ex-Fanatics can no longer be considered "official" since they don't make the decisions anymore.

See this is yet another thing that irks me about how the SGs are being run, surely there should be more clearcut information on what is happening, an updated release schedule or just more common blurbs on the progress etc. last time I tried sending a request for info on what was going on the contact email simply came back as undeliverable. I also notice that the mods are often everybit as in the dark as the regular posters are. I think the army champions are either a little better informed or left out of the loop depending on who they are, but still it is getting fairly questionable whether anyone we can contact actually does know whats going on at all.

Its not the first time things go... "poof"... |
I wouldn't be surprised in the least. Actually, I kind of expect it. Ever since the "reorganization" I've been of the opinion that anything SG releases is a bonus. Not that I'm preaching doom and gloom, but given GW's track record...
