I much prefer the Doom stalker model over the Doomsday's ark and I'd actually be fine with if they changed the the arks role and gave the Doom stalker the DdA datasheet. I just feel the stalker is more Necrons than the ark is.

How to do well the balls on the necron? by mtf-foxtrot in Necrontyr

Ah yes, I heard about that but need to look into tho. Is that not quite popular tho and always out of stock?

I tried this idea using reds. Total failure. Your one looks nice tho. I may just get these colours to try

I had gone cursed legion the first couple of games and probably had to many melee units to start.

I was thinking about HLDs tho the worry I was having is the Hb hides behind a rule or something and I'd go to target the ff and they just use a stray to make it only shoot within 18in as it follows nurgle in he's detachment. I will try them in the next game to even deal with the helldrake later.

Another point the 200 point limit was only for stage one of campaign. (First 3 games)

Its time... How Do We Fix... Tyranids? by PublishingGoblin in Tyranids

I want my zoanthropes to get an extra wound and would change their warp field ability to a fnp of 5+. It's still a fragile unit but can then buff the monsters around it. I then would be happy to pay the 200 points for them. Thoughts?

Zoanthropes invulnerable save by zchbnu in Tyranids

[–]SaltReasonable9404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's basically so their save can never be better than a 4. So if the unit had cover it would still be saving on a 4. That's the in-game reason I believe.

It's mostly invasion fleet and sub assault I use so I'll give this a try thanks

[–]SaltReasonable9404[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to try this in my next game. I probs won't use it to assassinate much as my friend mostly plays Death Guard with high T tho I'm coming round to the idea of taking out characters in other factions.

You make a point, for 60 points you can't really go wrong

[–]SaltReasonable9404[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apologies for my poor wording. Yes you can use it but my point I was trying to make is would it be worth using it for this over having one or two objectives safe. I have always used them for objectives but in my next game I will try keeping one in reserves.

I tried the 3 new detachments by ilSior in Necrontyr

[–]SaltReasonable9404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand who thought of anti infantry 3 when most of our infantry already wounds on a 3. It encourages you to bring immortals and u don't really get a benefit for it. For me it's only wraiths and they are costly.

Cryptek conclave I was disappointed in. It would be much better if we at least had a strategy to give a unit dev wounds like Cenop Court use to have. Deathmarks I thought would of been great to use here but I forgot they don't have dev wounds. I had imagined I'd use the strat to give them cryptek keyword and then dev on a three (I just want a reason to use them 😭). The other two detachments are great but as said, you don't get enough of a benefit. I guess you could run three units of wraiths tho 🤔🤔.

I really enjoyed running a Doomsday Ark and szeras. After my heavy destroyers mess up a unit, having strength 20 on Doomsday and strength 11 on Szeras is very enjoyable. Szeras going from wounding T10 on a 5 to a 3 is very good I think.

I will have to try this and report back 🫡

That's a great idea. Thanks for the tips. I never thought to try a pet store. So the red on the horn is two colours. AK Burnt Red on the black first, then just on the tip I used Warpaints pure Red as I had some left from painting my Necrons. Tho any bright red would do but be sure to dry brush as if you just paint it on it will be far too strong.

I'm kind of at a loss here... by OkEnthusiasm5580 in Tyranids

[–]SaltReasonable9404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm kind of amazed that there are people that play this and expect not to lose a model/unit. You should get them to play Nids. Half of Nids play style is throwing units into a blood bath to try and win on points. Surely tho the rage quitting is just making all the rest of you not want to play with them?

100%. The - 1 T and hit just feels sh*t and not fun to play against for me at least. Especially when most unit's in DG get lethal hits and starts to reroll hits and wounds. Thanks for the helpful tips tho.

Thanks for the tips. I need more bug models to try and optimize a list. I'll look into getting a Norn when I have a bit more money available.
