Nids win 11th company tournament with lictor list!

[gk]

Nid player went 6-0, taking first place with a lictor list! 11th company is a good size tournament held around the carolinas/Virginia area.
I didn't get to attend the tourney this year but glad to see nids one. Lictor lists are pretty rare around here. just some out of the box thinking. Wanted to pass along to the hive. And congrats to the winner!

He ran
X2 flyrants
X3 lictors
3 ripper swarms
3x5 genestealers
2x5 spore mines
X3 mawloc
Baston, comms relay
Death leaper assassin formation
Death leaper
X5 lictors

Not to sure how this list was that good, but reading the threads on there site it was brutal!

that's certainly unconventional.

Link?

Pics or it didn't happen

How did he deal with armour......

[Yautja]

Blimey. 8 Lictors plus DL? S6 against AV14 would need 3/4 to glance 5/6 to penetrate on the rending D3. A mass of them can tear down anything I suppose, especially if it was stationary.

Still has 2 Flyrants to potentially Grubs stuff too.

Can't wait for that podcast....

[gigasnail]

i thought i posted on here, can't find it now. guess he went all-in counter meta against invisible units?

[N.I.B.]

I rather read a thread about it than endure a podcast. But it seems there's no discussion anywhere?

[wargaming93]

Crazy list...would never have thought it would be pulled off. I too would rather a thread or podcast. Need to know how this worked! Haha

[Jabberwocky]

I ran similar earlier in the year but only 2 mawlocs and no comms so I could add more combat ground troops. It was fairly fun but not overly strong. I'm interested to see if reaching saturation point with lictors and mawlocs was what helped him win.

I have no clue how it worked....I honestly don't see how it won let alone go without a loss. If he or anyone else post about his tactics I'll share them on here.

My brother was there but didn't play vs this list. He did however ask the players that lost to it " how the hell could you lose to that list". He said every single person responded saying it's was a super mean list, worst list they played vs nids in a while.....

So not a single person actually answered the question?

* Conjured units are not considered part of an explicit Detachment. As a result, benefits from your Warlord such as Conqueror of Cities and benefits granted by being a part of a given detachment do not apply to Conjured Units. Furthermore, as a RAW clarification, Conjured Models interact with other models as per the Allies Matrix, regardless of the Faction that summoned them.
*Super Heavy/Gargantuan Lords of War are not allowed at this time (meaning you can still take Ghaz/Logan and an Imperial Knight, just not a Baneblade). (Subject to change if we get enough people who want these, and if we do change, will likely be using the modified list as per what BAO did)
* Allied Detachments MAY BE SELECTED from the same Faction as the Primary Detachment
* Fortification Upgrades from Stronghold are not allowed, but rulebook Quad Gun, Icarus, and Comms Relay are.

I really want to hear how he pulled this off. How many lictors he infiltrated vs how many deep strikes in? What were his opponents? What did he send the lictors after first?
