Over the past few months I have been playing in a bunch of tournaments, none with marines though because of painting. I rocked the Nid'z at the past few Brothers Grimm tournaments and took 2nd and 3rd to my surprise.
This is an army that's almost complete. Just gotta build the predators and well...PAINT!

hey bob its andrew its like your blog besides all the mon-ki keep up the good work
ReplyDeleteI've heard rumors that you use your terminators to good effect. I'm having five of them on sprue to go with Lysander. What I am wondering is how the thunderhammers are working out for you, on account of having so many. Any pluses/minuses? Are you trying to make them more survivable or do the two lightning claw guys output enough mayhem? I'm thinking of having one less TH as I have Lysander, maybe just one, especially since they attack on initative 1 and the claws go on 4 (with an extra attack to boot). Then again five TH/SS with Lysander would be a sight to behold:)
ReplyDeleteI am curious of how you intend to use your two dreads. Any thoughts you want to share?
IMO i think 2LC/3TH is the way to go. Even though you have lysander whos a monster, its the times you get hit with a demolisher cannon or a plas cannon that you want the storm shields. You can always make the 2 up saves for bolter fire. And you can only give lysander one wound before you have to start taking 5+ invuls. Only time i think you should change the 2LC/3TH is if you have Vulcan and then you go all thunder hammers to optimize the master crafted.
ReplyDeleteThe dreads are just there for a AV12 multi melta. Go straight at a vehicle and if you shoot at the dreads then your not shooting at my LR or rhinos! And if your opponent doesnt take care of them they can cause serious problems against troops.
Hmm. The good saves are definitely useful, I just guess I like those claws quite a bit:) I think my approach will be two claws with the option of buying an extra box to be able to play around when I finally have assembled the army so I can start looking for opponents:) It's just a 1500 list so I might try to add 2 more claws for a 1750/1850/2000 list:)
