so i need a well balanced list obviously, and this will be new since I haven't played at a GW shop yet. I will have to get everything painted within two weeks too. anyways, how does this list look? scuttlers were to use up points. my old list was identical to this but had one less squad of stealers which were replaced with 2 Zoanes (warp blast).


here's a list of my models
1 flyrant
1 dakka fex
2 sniperfex
40 horms
40 stealers
24 terms
3 zoans
broodlord
3 leaping rippers
3-5 reg ripper swarms
3 CC warriors
6 unssambled ones (which i was making shooty but I don't have enough rending claws yet **BW bits order**)

I don't think that your hive will need IA at 1k points and which ADs did u use(You don't really need either one except maybe +I for Eldar and DE)? You hive need Flesh-hooks if you can do that.

I can't really see much else that needs to be changed really. I would prefer more synapse just because fearless is better than taking LD tests (standard LD tests, I know 'stealers don't test for synapse). Make sure to use cover so that the stealers do not all die to shooting. Remember that ALL 'Nids have 'Move Through Cover'.

Some fast units might be nice for a distraction from the 'Stealers. There is not too much like that in your list of models though. Are you CC warriors leaping?

[PUFNSTUF]

technically yes

I would put in a squad of hormogaunts. If you drop one genestealer brood you can take 13 hormogaunts. The flyrant is awesome but even he can get bogged down and need some backup, thats where the hormogaunts come in.

If you have the bits - turn some gaunts into a small brood of gargoyle's and stick him with your tyrant.

Looks fine to me, although fill up the rest of the points but putting flesh hooks on MC's.

[PUFNSTUF]

don't have any bits for wings or anything sadly... my one fear about the horms is I would have to keep the hive tyrant near them which would restrict his movement.

no one is for dropping a squad of stealers and going with 2 zoans?

[spediesteban422]

At 1000 points you shouldnt be facing too many tanks, and with stealers you dont need the synapse. So personally, I would say no for the thropes.

[PUFNSTUF]

okay, works for me. they were effective last time for ignoring cron and marine saves, but chances are the stealers will be more effective in the long run

[PUFNSTUF]

o shit, one other thing, would adding a dakkafex in here be good? to add a little more shootyness? keep in mind, this list inst to be "nice" i do those with my gaming group. this is to win

edit: the adrenal (I) is there so my HV will be quicker than the majority of the armies commanders

Since your list is for tourny I think it will do well. Be carefull with your tyrant since you didn't give him warp field hes only got a 3+ save. Thats why it would be nice to have the gargoyle's as back up.

I've never played a tournament but from experience every marine player you go against should have some power fists handy to lay the smack down on your Tyrant. Choose your targets carefully.
