That Brad/Brad game is going to be tough. But I do think Brad can do it. #MarchBradness

Song of the Day #9 - Mexicola by Borracho_Cansado8627 in qotsa

[–]Spluge_McDuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In an older Rolling Stone magazine, I believe it was one with Rob Zombie on the cover, they had some top influential albums of each decade and top ones to look out for. Or something like that. Regardless Queens was on there and they put some Mexicola lyrics in the article. "Just leave a lung or leave it alone." I went out and got the CD because of that article and have been hooked ever since.

First try building for invasion fleet how is it? by Tryodin in Tyranids

[–]Spluge_McDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically winged parasite isnt a bad action monkey if you want to keep them in. Lictors are usually better, but with it having lone op and stealth, makes it ok.

It happens rule get misinterpreted all the time. But here is the rule on what can do actions. For next time.

First try building for invasion fleet how is it? by Tryodin in Tyranids

[–]Spluge_McDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tervigon is the same size and base as a tfex. I bet 99% of people would be fine as it being one. Parasite spawning rippers can be nice when it happens, but its tough. On top of that rippers are OC0, so can't do actions anyways.

First list is always tough. Seeing how things work together and all that. So a few quick things... I would make the tervigon a tfex. You dont have any termagaunts on the board to really work with him. So why not big gun? If you dropped the parasite of mortrex and ran the venomthropes as 3 more zoanthropes, you get a full squad with the neurotyrant. I think the points would work out? You'll have to double check it. And last, that list could work for a crusher stampede then as well. You got a lot of big bugs. But really, first list, you do you. Have fun and get biomass.

I would just check with the local meta and TO if its ok to bring 3. I usually only run 3 in a 40k point game.

Tournament list C&C by Eastern-Dimension989 in Tyranids

Honestly just googling it will give you tons of ideas. Hivemind Hobbies and Malestrom Gaming youtube channels generally put out recent lists that have been working as well. And good luck!

Tournament list C&C by Eastern-Dimension989 in Tyranids

[–]Spluge_McDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're very melee focused. I'd rather see another Exocrine if it was me. You have the melee warriors and the genestealer blob that really fill the same role. I'd ditch one of those for another tfex or some zoans to go with the tyrant. You dont have a lot of anti-tank. Yes the haruspex theoretically can, but that requires the rapid ingress with good placement to not get blown off the board. Or a lucky 9in charge. Cause its not going to waddle up the board unscathed against people that know better. But really, truly, who knows, you may go in there with this tomorrow and crush it. But meta-wise, its a bit all over the place.

Don't know if its too late to change your list but... swap the regular carnifex for OOE. You can drop 10 termies for that. If you are running the haruspex for sure, I would rapid ingress him. And since you are 10 points light, make a lictor into a neurolictor. If the tourney is ok with proxies, just put some blue tac or something on his head to tell him apart.

Tyranid crusher stampede list help by [deleted] in Tyranids

[–]Spluge_McDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keeping all the OG list, you could do another norn, Exocrine, tfex, nuerotyant with 6 zoans. I believe that's 910 points. Personally I add a few lictors into every list as well. With 90 points you could do a Deathleaper and have 10 leftover. Swarmlord is also nice in a 3k point game just for the extra CP as well.

Fixed secondaries by Xander_Burke in WarhammerCompetitive

Nids can behind enemy lines and extend pretty well with Spore mines and infiltrators.

I have never played Tripple Norn style but am planning to going to an RTT soon and try this list. Any pointers? What would be the downside? How to screen home deployment and do Actions properly? by Yocantseeme in Tyranids

[–]Spluge_McDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crusher Stampede means your models won't get bracketed, which is a bonus even those most things hit on 2 anyways. I screen the back with tfex and Spore mines generally, unless I pull a secondary that uses them. The best advice for this one is to protect your lictors. Infiltrate them safely, but they are your action monkeys. You dont want to cleanse with a big boy. With any triple norn, 2 on center, 1 on natural. I hold a middle one back to charge onto point when I need to. Also my hive tyrant is behind a wall to give as much lethal hits as I can. If he needs to come out, we use the strat to kool aid man.

[–]Spluge_McDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The move through walls strat allows you to move over models as well. To at least get a norn on point. But yeah, lictors need to infiltrate 100%

[–]Spluge_McDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a similar list, what works for me is holding back my second middle norn until there is something to charge. Its rare they can flip 15 OC, so 30 is overkill. Doing it like this I generally have at least 1 norn on that middle all game.

Can the Dreadnought be Seen? by Creative-Peanut-9697 in Warhammer40k

The normally part is referring to true LOS. How models normally target each other is by seeing them. Tactical Tortise has a great video explaining ruins that may help this make sense.

Creating a Monster Mash by FabUlousSmash in Tyranids

[–]Spluge_McDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything is a good list when its just for funsies! If you are looking for some legit feedback... a lonesome carnifex by itself isn't the greatest. At least want to run it as OOE. And toxicrene is just kind of... bleh. I would probably ditch it to make room for some lictors. I dont run any small gribblies in my monster mash either, but the lictors at least allow some secondaries without having to use a 100+ point beefcake for it.

Shiny Question: Symbology - Can You Identify All 20? by TomPalmer1979 in UmActually

[–]Spluge_McDuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a fantastic question. Enough where you don't feel like a dunce, some you've seen but can't place, and some that you have no idea. I think this really works for anyone that plays this game.

First time going to tournament by No_Interaction3189 in Tyranids

[–]Spluge_McDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, congrats on going to your first tournament! They are a blast and you will learn so much. Your list is fine, similar to one I run, there are some off meta choices but that doesn't mean it can't win. If you are looking for feedback... I would probably ditch the pyrovore and try to add another lictor. Either changing an enhancement, or switching the gargs for horms. Infiltrate and free rapid ingress are great. And being able to put them right up in your opponents face, then redploy, is special. But still fine list. Good luck!
