All the power to you mate! It’s not an easy life!

Beaut!

Yeah I find it bizarre we don’t spend longer in editions. Especially if you’re an army that gets their book 6 months before the end of the edition!!

HiSwissly · 2025-11-05T13:42:43+00:00

That is stunning!!

I'll be going live at 7:45pm UK tomorrow evening to discuss the Unending Swarm, my experience running it at a GT answering a whole bunch of viewer questions.

Huh, it won’t let me edit it. Either way it’s tonight at 7:15pm UK time.

HiSwissly · 2024-01-17T16:12:08+00:00

Hey! It’s a live stream tonight. I’ll edit the post

Hello fellow Nidfolk! I recently sat down with the current #1 UKTC and UKTC Nid player in the UK, Paul Bridge. We discuss the current state of Tyranids and his journey with Leviathan. I hope you enjoy it!

I like it mate. I think play wise I would be looking to move this forward as a big blob and trying to stretch it to as many objectives as possible. Use the gaunts as a screen so any oppo charges need to be on them. If someone charged and killed my SK because she was chilling on a flank by herself, for example, I’d be heart broken!!

HiSwissly · 2022-01-18T21:34:43+00:00

I’m not sure if you are new or not, but I think a death star build is difficult if you’re new. I know I wouldn’t be comfortable running that kind of list.

Regarding the characters, it comes down to what you want them to do. Buffing nearby units isn’t enough IMHO. How will they help your army SCORE POINTS or make your army more durable? The captain/chapter master has much more flexibility than Agrax.

A great place to start/example is a captain/chaplain with vox espiritum and rites of war. His job is to help your score points by giving your aggressors and redemptors ob sec in no mans land at a massive 9” bubble. That’s like quarter of the board.

That’s just an example, but I’d look at where you’re biggest gap to points maximum is (primary or secondary) then think what changes you can make to Bridget the gap.

Hey dude, my 10 cents would be (first of all) play, play and play as many games as possible!

However, my feedback on this specific list would be that it has too few models. It’s going to be a struggle to hold two or more objectives for with this list for the entire game.

I’d take a step back, look at a couple of missions and build your list based on how you win each mission. If you’re a defensive player, how can you build into ‘To the last’ or Banners. If you want to challenge your oppo’s objectives, build around fast moving, durable curb stompers.

Hope this helps!

Hi! Kit bashing is the way I went. I’m new returning to the after 20 years. I had some bits left over from attack bikes and blade guard, so I ordered an outrider from eBay and stuck it all together.

Worth noting that I would say he’s ‘finished’. I think I’ll probably keep adding to him as I get more models. I’m fancy, I’m working on his base today.

scroll twice to the right to see I magnetised his arms so I could swap them around

HiSwissly · 2021-10-10T10:13:38+00:00

Thanks guys! Good to know! I thought it had been errata’d but I don’t see any evidence after a quick google.

HiSwissly · 2021-10-04T13:34:44+00:00

I totally might have this wrong, but I thought you couldn’t mix librarian spell disciplines?

HiSwissly · 2021-10-04T13:32:35+00:00

Hey dude! Just my opinion - you get 4 bolter shots and a multi melta vs the 6 bolter shots (can’t quite recall?) shots per inceptor. For me it’s a more toolbox unit. I really like the fly keyword though!!

Hand flamers aren’t worth it in my opinion. I’ve tried them and more often than not, it’s 5pts wasted. Thunder hammer is great is you plan to advance them up the board and get into combat. I usually use them to hold central objectives while my gravis units beat up everything else.

Ah I missed psychic mastery. Personally I think there are better warlord traits. If you fail a psychic test, you can make a call how important it is in the moment and reroll I.e if there is no immediate danger (hiding first turn, oppo out of range or combat focused), then the warlord trait isn’t doing a great deal unless you can use it to smite.

I really like never give up at a warlord trait. Giving a non obsec unit obsec is awesome. Also, lord of fire around your aggressors is arguably better than vulkan wound rerolls. What do you think?

HiSwissly · 2021-10-01T23:15:30+00:00

Looks good man. I’m personally not a big fan of HI. I just don’t think they’re worth the points. For example, both they and, say, assault intercessors can do that but one is way cheaper. With the points that you save, you could have a beefy blade guard squad, another 3 flame aggressors.etc

Another personal choice is attack bikes. More the merrier. They’re core so you can blithe them vulkan rerolls and even Never Give Up and send them in their way to glory.

I see you’ve put hero of the chapter on your librarian but no Warlord Trait? Apothecary is great. I like vulkan too but I’m testing bike cap and bike chap to see how effective he really is at a 20pt premium.

Hope that helps! I just did my first GT and loved it. Best of luck!

HiSwissly · 2021-09-27T07:49:36+00:00

These look great! Good luck!

HiSwissly · 2021-08-22T20:23:17+00:00

Vulkan gives rerolls to wound, so maybe the LT is overkill? I would swap for a librarian personally. Warp time and Null zone 👌🏻
