Battlefield Birmingham 2013 - Nick1988 - 18-01-2013 So as far as I'm aware there's quite a few of us going to this n it seems like it it'll be a lot of fun! I figured I'd start a threat for us to post our potential lists and tactics up as well as any recommendations/constructive criticism about each others army. Also I was hoping guys that have been to the previous event could let the rest if us know what to expect!

Although your list seems similar to mine in the fact it might struggle with flyers! Especially those pesky Necron av13 ones. Any ideas? RE: Battlefield Birmingham 2013 - Simian - 18-01-2013 i thought Necron flyers were AV12? if they're AV13 thats scary. My anti air is the Contemptor Dreadnought, has skyfire and interceptor and the kheres is BS5, 12 shots S6 Rending (so any 6's are auto pens on AV12) it also has the cyclone s8 two shots. flyers are always a worry though also cant your hive tyrant vector strike them? RE: Battlefield Birmingham 2013 - Nick1988 - 18-01-2013 Ohh right, didn't realise the Contemptors had skyfire etc that's awesome! They may be AV12? Happy days if so!

Happy days if so! Yeah contemptor if it doesn't move can fire skyfire with interceptor in that turn. range on the Kheres is only 24inches though.... still the cyclone is 48. Other option with it for 5 points more is two twinlinked lascannons, thats a nice bit of anti flyer.

They may be AV12? Happy days if so! 5 points? That's amazing all I really have is my Hive Tyrants weapons that obviously fire at normal BS if its in the air. Other than that I'm hoping for 6's! Although I have emailed Harry Allen to get his verdict on bugs using quad guns lol Fingers crossed RE: Battlefield Birmingham 2013 - Nick1988 - 23-01-2013 After my game with Matt last night I have made a huge change for my potential list which is..... HQ Hive Tyrant 170 2 TL brainleech devourers 30 Wings 60 Old adversary 25 Hive commander 25 Tyranid prime 80 Deathspitter 5 TROOPS Tervigon 160 Catalyst 15 Toxin sacs 10 Crushing claws 25 Tervigon 160 Catalyst 15 Toxin sacs 10 Termagants x 12 60 Devourers x 12 60 Termagants x 10 50 ELITES Doom of Malan'tai 90 Spore 40 Venomthrope 55 FAST ATTACK Harpy 160 TL heavy venom cannon 10 Harpy 160 TL heavy venom cannon 10 HEAVY SUPPORT Tyranofex 250 Rupture cannon 15 Total 1750 Any thoughts? Due to my current lack of work (for the next 2 weeks) is there anyone available outside the club for some practise games? I'm happy to travel and I will provide pizza :p RE: Battlefield Birmingham 2013 - Simian - 23-01-2013 no more genestealers? how come? and no more warriors? |
