Hello Fellow Hive Members!

[Sulphunet]

As you can see, I am new here so I thought I'd introduce myself.

I am Sulphunet, and my main 40K army is actually Dark Eldar. But I was looking at other armies, and the Tyranids really did catch my eyes. The single mindedness of purpose really caught me.

I also play Fantasy, and my armies are Dark Elves, High Elves, Warriors of Chaos and Tomb Kings. I have been playing Fantasy for 7 and a half years at this point, and 40K for only a few months.

So that's about it for me. Oh, and I have most of the rules for both games memorized, so I may end up correcting mistakes from time to time. Just a heads up, I don't want to be labelled as jerk.

Welcome to the hive! Always fun to have new people that know their things. Don't worry about correcting people, if you have a reference to back it up, there won't ever be a problem.

[Rakuall]

Welcome! Always love to see more bug players.
You say you have the rules mostly memorized, is that 6th? Already? Impressive. It's always good to have another opinion/reference when a rules debate/question comes up.

[fnorrll]

I foresee many interesting threads with you and certain other hivers involved in them in the near future...

welcome to the hive

Welcome to the Hive. Just curious, since you already have the rules memorized, do you have the Errata/FAQ as well? I Kid .

So are you a Swarmy type guy or a MC type?

[Sulphunet]

Alright, I have most of 6th memorized (Been reading it a lot). And I love the big monsters, but have been working on balancing the force a little bit. I want to include a Trygon and a Mawloc, with a Tervigon as HQ (and maybe Troops too).

Tervigons make better troop choices, unless you need your mandatory HQ. A scoring Tervigon is tough to get off of an objective

Also with 6th ed rules, a swarmlord is awfully attractive as your HQ pick. Our only mastery level 2 psyker and 4 powers to trade in. He can almost always get what he needs.

At what point do you find it a less attractive choice? Is it worth it beloe 1500? I mean sure he's pretty scary on the board, but you have to pay a lot for one scary dude.
