1,500 Gencon List

[jaysic]

I have to be driving in 5 hours to make the first tournament. I'm traveling light, as I'm bring both my Eldar and Tyranids, so I won't have a ton of options for a sidebar. There are 3 tournaments that I plan on participating in throughout the weekend (Thurs-Sunday, woooo!) and tomorrow is 1,500 points and I'm bringing this Tyranid list;

HQ (455 Points)

Hive Tyrant (Wings, Old Adversary, Scything Talons, Lash Whip / Bonesword, Electroshock Grubs, Adrenal Glands)
Tervigon

Elites (295 Points)

Malanthrope
Venomthrope
3x Hive Guard

Troops (100 points)

10x Hormagaunts
10x Hormagaunts

Fast Attack (270 Points)

5x Shrikes, Toxic Sacs, Adrenal Glands, Flesh Hooks, 3x Rending Claws, Barbed Strangler, 2x Lash Whips / Bonesword

Heavy Support (380 Points)
2x Biovores
Stone Crusher Carnifex
Stone Crusher Carnifex




This is the lowest I've ever brought on troops. Let's hope for good spawns... Wish me luck fellas! For the Swarm!

i would not bring minimal hormagant squads unless you only are counting on them for first/second turn ablative wounds/cover save. this list is definitely all-in, but it looks light in the gas department. best of luck!

Finished 4th overall with 37 points. I got a draw round against first place round 4 against taudar.

Top 3 were 40 40 39. Have rough list and turn by turn for all 4 games, could post later from a.

PC if people are interested in batreps.

Won't have access to a computer till Sunday but I have pretty detailed notes. Got taken by surprise by the line breaker rules game 3 which cost me the game (ended in a draw) and game 4 I got greedy and charged a squad of guardians with a stone crusher instead of a wraith night with 1 wound left turn 3. Wraith night won my opponenent the game as it went to turn 7 and it cleaned up my backfield and took line breaker to put game 4 at a tie as well. That player took first.

At the end of that game I had 1 hive guard on the table with 1 wound left, engaged with 2 fire warriors. Only other models on the table were the wraitgknight with 1 wound left and a tip tide with two.

Details of games Sunday

Looking forward to the writeup. Mostly interested in what kind of missions you played and how the Shrikes did.

Just got back from the Con. About to do the write up and put it in the tactics board as soon as it's done.
