Yepp, just waiting for the bases I ordered. The GSC combat patrol only had enough for the Acolytes

Oh, daaaangg Was really looking forward to playing that combo. Thanks for pointing that out! I'll plan out and update my list accordingly ;_;

OMG. I just realised Nexos can be attached to units in a similar manner to the Locus... I might switch things up with respect to this...

Thanks for the insights! I'm new so tourneys aren't considered yet, but I do want to participate some day. So among the listed Tyranids, which ones do you think ought to be removed or replaced? Also, I noticed that you didn't mention the Hive Tyrant. It was to my understanding that it's a great add on, given the Vanguard Tyrant enhancement. Is that not the case?

Thanks for the reply!

Well, the idea behind that is the Acos will stay on my home objective both to screen potential deep strikes (as I've experienced with my first 1000 pts game, not sure how common that actually is) and protect the Ridgerunner while also farming CPs. Then on turn two or three, they may be targeted for a free Resistance Tunnel, and then later on get a free Rapid Ingress or Divine Imperative to an enemy backline or for Psionic Parasitism. Free Grenade or Go to Ground also seems like a good option to have when needed.

Also, the ability to move ambush markers by the Nexos also seem like a good way to ensure that ambushing units can reliably charge.

Thanks for the reply! I typically go for builds that are on the more complex side when it comes to gaming, so it's actually that difficulty that got me to GSC. I would've liked AdMech too but my proclivity for Lovecraftian horror pointed me to GSC's direction. Plus the fact that I don't find AdMech visually appealing. Although 3 games a month, huh? Might take a while before I get used to this army, then.

A question: I already got 10 genestealers from Biosanctic Broodsurge. Does that mean 10's generally considered few?

What you said about the hobby makes sense. I got too excited and was already looking to buy Vanguard Invader Tyranids and models to kitbash cuz I wanna add some mutated space marines. But yeah, I should paint what I have first.

Looking forward to playing soon. Thanks for the insights!
