Army List Pictures...?

[rpricew]

My idea is...would you post up a picture of your army list? I'm not saying post them here (you can if you want). I'm saying when you post up a regular army list in the List section, then throw up a picture with it.

I propose this for a couple of reasons:

#1. We all like pictures of other peoples models.
#2. It will promote participation on the forum and make our site better.
#3. It will gently push people to work on their armies.
#4. It's nice to see a visual representation of what that army list would look like for old & new people.

I've been way more satisfied playing with a mostly painted/WYSIWYG army and it was seeing other painted armies all of the time and playing against them too that motivated me to finish mine up. I have started tweaking my 2000 point list (see signature below) and will get a picture up as soon as I can (I'm at work today).

All I'm asking is that people try... if you can't write up a battle report, then that's ok, just before deployment... when everything is sitting out on the table, take a quick pic with your phone or a buddy's phone and throw it up on the site with your army list.

For those of you that are posting up army lists to get ready for a game... this goes for you too! You might not have every model kitted out exactly the way it should be but regardless, you will be proud of seeing them all lined up nice and neat...getting ready to pounce on your opponent.

Just my thoughts and ideas... comments and criticisms are welcome as always.

I like the idea. Hopefully I will actually finish my army to do so. Maybe this will help me get it to do so.

Write up an army... put the models on the table... take a photo and show us all of your Grey Goodness...

It's true that painted models look the best, but the fun of playing a Tyranid army is the sheer volume of units we can put on the table. I don't mind gray swarms, just show me the niddy!

My armies are conceptualized, then posted, then playtested with proxies, and then if I like it I finally get the models.

That said, I just assembled a flyrant and tervigon (I was using conversions for both in 5E). Once I finish painting them I'll post a picture of my army.

I get that, but you have played with armies that you do have all the models right...therefore you could post up a picture of that army list.

Awesome armies, keep them coming!

[leeroy1986]

Okay here's a list I was using:-

1750 Points

Swarmlord w/ 3 Tyrant Guard.
1 Flydakkarant
2 Tervifexes
2x10 Termagants
3 Hive Guard
2 Zoanthopes
3 Raveners.




Oh and I do have a horde army, but it will never get used sadly because they're rubbish in the rules

However I did just write a horde list for shiz and giggles:-


Tervigon, Stinger Salvo.
3 Lictors
9 Ymgarl Genestealers
6 Warriors, devourers.
6 Warriors, 5 Deathspitters, 1 barbed strangler.
30 Hormagaunts.
30 Termagants.
30 Spinefistgaunts.
20 Genestealers.



I do also have 3 Venomthropes and im buying 3 boxes of gaunts so I can convert devourers for my Carnifexes, but they will all be normally Termagants for my Tervigons. But then later on I want to buy 30 Devourergaunts too and 30 Gargoyles also, so it may make a nice little horde army xD But from a competitive point of view it will be rubbish.

Oh and here is a model I used to use maybe 2 codices back but GW removed him I don't know why it was funny! A strength 1 Ordnance blast template you could do through mutations at the back of the book:-



P.S, Sorry for the bad pictures only have a camera phone

[kenji10000]

My hive guard are on loan with a buddy right now sorry

But i typically run:

-Tyrant
---2 Guards with lash whips

Tyranid Prime with Bone swords

2 Tervigons

Some Gaunts

Doom in a pod

(And depending on points) 2 Tyrannofex

[rpricew]

@ Kenji - Great Tyrannofex conversions... That's a big gun!

@ leeroy - Awesome horde shot. put your models outside in the sun for a better camera pic.

Here is my 3000 point army that I played with Saturday against the Necrons & Tau (with GK Allies)





Swarmlord w/Tyrant Guard
Flying Tyrant w/Devours & LW+BS
Tyranid Prime w/LW+BS, Deathspitter, TS

Doom w/ Mycetic Spore
8 Ymgarls
8 Ymgarls

Tervigon w/ CC, TS, AG, 3 powers
Tervigon w/ CC, TS, AG, 3 powers
10 Devilgants
10 Devilgants
4 Warriors w/ Deathspitters, Dual BS

5 Shrikes w/ LW+BS
Harpy

Trygon w/ TS
Carnifex w/ Dual Dakka, TS, Mycetic Spore
2 Biovores

Tyranids win! But only barely - 10 Immortals with Crypteks and overwatch is incredibly resilient
