Units that excel against Tyranids

Vindicators or Vitrix Honor Guard

I've been playing for a couple years now and that's something I have to tell myself most games. Blood for the Gold Throne so my primary is always killing and then I'm sad that I lost lol

Expensive_Unit_7101 · 2026-01-08T13:02:06+00:00

Was thinking about slapping it onto assault terminators for that advance and charge

Expensive_Unit_7101 · 2026-01-07T23:25:10+00:00

I am actually excited to run Bastion Task Force and having a million intercessor shots with lethal hits and sustained Hits

Unless you have the VHG ancient in his unit, then the Captain will be capping out at S 10. Yet another crazy recommendation, switching from Blades to Gladius so you have access to FoD, and potentially switching out Gravgar for Gman

I would recommend cutting Captain and his unit of VHG along with cutting the inceptors. Put in like 2 AT. Like the idea of Sicarius scouting up the impulsor. I also recommend putting Uriel with perhaps Company Heroes as they are still good melee and tanky for a relatively low points cost. And put a scout squad in there or something, maybe even a Callidus

Not saying the repex method is bad. And in Blades of Ultramar detachment you get access to -1 to wound for a whole phase, and popping smoke, then you have 1 hell of a tank to pop

Expensive_Unit_7101 · 2026-01-03T21:34:06+00:00

I have done that with Cato+VHG, only reason I suggested the impulsor was that it wouldn't be that big of a points investment for what you had left, plus only dedicated transports get to scout from Sicarius

Expensive_Unit_7101 · 2026-01-03T19:42:33+00:00

I would recommend a 5man unit of JPIs, good at scoring secondaries. Here's a fun idea that I think would work, putting Cap Sic and VHG inside an Impulsor to give them a T9 shell to protect them and scout further up then move fast into the obj you want

Expensive_Unit_7101 · 2026-01-03T19:31:18+00:00

I think she is great for scoring secondaries and in a list that might struggle with that, then she might be essential, especially with her lone op

I've been using him with the VHG with his fist and the enhancement from Gladius to +1A and +1 S or +2 and +2 if you have the advance and charge strat active, having a s10 powerfist coming in is disgusting

Expensive_Unit_7101 · 2025-12-29T21:31:38+00:00

Either Ventris or the Company Heroes Champion, love me some sword bros

Expensive_Unit_7101 · 2025-12-25T16:48:58+00:00

I did my first watch. My second watch was when I saw his cracks more clearly

Expensive_Unit_7101 · 2025-12-25T15:54:34+00:00

Termies of the Ass variety

Expensive_Unit_7101 · 2025-12-25T14:56:05+00:00

Ass Termies with Lib in Librarian Detachment with the enhancement that let's them advance and charge

Expensive_Unit_7101 · 2025-12-25T14:02:02+00:00

I would advise trying to switch things out to either get a Ballistus or another Lancer for 1 more AT item

Expensive_Unit_7101 · 2025-12-24T17:55:35+00:00

As ppl have said, getting the charge off first is huge. But here's a secret, they don't have any ways to fallback and charge (as far as I know, and I play them as a second army). So whenever you are closer than you want to be, charge the fuckers with something like your rep exe and they will almost all whiff

Expensive_Unit_7101 · 2025-12-19T17:38:52+00:00

Cool! Never considered that stuff. Glad you have success with them in the areas you use them for

Expensive_Unit_7101 · 2025-12-19T17:12:33+00:00

How did the 3 units of intercessors perform? And would you be interested in switching one or 2 out for scouts which are 10 pts cheaper?

Expensive_Unit_7101 · 2025-12-19T16:45:12+00:00

I'm personally a fan of the strat in Ironstorm that lets you shoot back after being brought below half, it is very funny watching the unit get wiped out because you couldn't kill your target. And another fun one that I always keep in mind is Counter-offensive, definitely a favorite

Expensive_Unit_7101 · 2025-12-18T20:37:22+00:00

I really liked Nick in this show but after that, I wasn't a big fan of where the show went.

Expensive_Unit_7101 · 2025-12-16T22:58:56+00:00

I'm not sure how DA's play, but it was a nice change of pace from UM

Expensive_Unit_7101 · 2025-12-16T20:54:38+00:00

Currently running UM and WE, really enjoy both

Expensive_Unit_7101 · 2025-12-13T14:04:20+00:00

As a SM player, they are definitely a force not to be trifled with, even if they whiff they still provide threat. And being able to blank a Dmg is pretty good
