New to 40k but keen to get started

hello fellow nid player o/

that is a good point another nid player so that makes 3 of you now right?

something like that

looks like the nids are infesting bognor lol  

Lol as per the norm.... it starts with a few of us then before you know it the world has been devoured

not if i can stop you (striking a heroic pose)  

Soon we will consume all muhahahaha and hi btw :-)

So what sort of players do we have at the club so u say 3 nid players now and how we looking for the rest?

im pretty sure if you ask around you could find any type of opponent at club but i think the majority is SPEESSS MAWEENS/Space marines a variety of chapters

well i got eldar and Tau so i think that makes 2 of each in the club, there are some cron players and a daemon player and a tone of marines lol

Hay Ninja some advice for a new tyranid player if u please on my 1500 point list. Atm im working towards 2 flyrants 20 Tgounts 2 tervagons and 3 mowlocs.

hmmmm advice for a nid player...... I'm quite oppinionated on them would you like me to continue?

Also have any of u seen the info on the new tyranid rumours?

Sure yes please ninja any info would be good. I have some hive guard and some other things also not much. Planning on magnitizing my mowlocs so they can double up as a trygon also if there a bit merrrr

there was some new info in that link i posted on the other thread.

in sort i think you chaps just need to sit tight for a month or so till the new dex is out

Ye im a bit worried as i have just painted 70 Tgnts now there saying there redoing them to make more options i hope they don't change the models ets. Also i read they may give the tervagon upgrades so u can spawn G with maybe better guns so ye 70 G with fleshborers

well you can never have too meany of the little blighters lol

yes i have seen some of the rumors but in all honesty untill the dex gets nearer to release i dont hold much faith in any of it GW are gonna have to do a lot in order to make the new 'dex good there first task if they choose to accept it is not let cruddace write the damn thing, he really slaughtered it IMHO.

Right as for my "advice/opinions" here we go.

your goal is 1500 points right?

the flyrant...... a good enough beastie but wanting to field two at 1500 is a BIG points sink imo take one and see how it fairs because one FMC is enough to make anyone worry as they'll be hitting it on sixes unless they have the "skyfire" rule i believe (someone correct me if im wrong)
if you want a cheap nasty HQ use a prime with a D.spitter and either Dual boneswords or Lash whip bone sword (Everyone loves these guys......the further away the better lol)

Termagants.....these are Amazing if im honest ok their range isnt great but essentially they are all armed with bolt pistols whats not to like or you could make them scary put 15 of them armed with devourers in a spore and drop them somewhere and unleash a hail of 45 S4 no ap death  

you say you have hive guard....use them end of, no more discussion, these guys are king of ignoring cover saves

tervigons once again a great choice for every group of termagants you include you can have one of these beasts as a TROOP... a monstrous creature that is a TROOP choice how can that not be good

and the mawloc ah the mawloc i like it.....on paper but unfortunately for me id rather take a trygon i find that if it gets tied up in combat its not gonna be that useful although it has a really nice special rule it doesnt omit the fact that the trygon is better although about 30 points more

but as i say i am very opinionated when it comes to these lovely critters and these are just my opinions on what you have mentioned so you should by no means listen to me in anyway..... play them how you want to play them and you will prolly have better luck than me but as long as you have fun when you are kicking your opponents butt or having your butt kicked by said opponent then all is well

Some very good advice thank you :-)

Glad to be of help i will have to Finish mine at some point

If you hit a FMC (just hit not wound) then it falls out the sky and take a hit from the fall, then I think everyone can shoot at it normal till it takes off again but I am not 100% on that last bit

I think the trick with nids is to tie up the opponent with the fast moving little bleeders and the big boys can waddle over and play without getting shot to much

That's correct

groovy
i will be off home to get me a can of bug spray and a jolly big fly swatter for when i play nids

Yes if a unit hits the fmc hit has to roll a d6 and a roll of 1 or 2 it falls out of the sky with a thud. But it's interesting as it sez unit not modals so i presume no matter how many madals get a hit it only rolls a single d6 to see if it falls

sounds about right i think
