Hey, I've just started playing 40k and had my first game today at 1000 points. Here's my list:
HQ:
Hive Tyrant - WIngs, LW/BS, HVC
Troops:
Tyranid Warriors (3) Deathspitters, ST, TS, 1 VC
Termagants (12) devourers
Hormagaunts (16) toxin sacs
Genestealers (8) broodlord toxin sacs
Tervigon - cluster spines, catalyst, ST
I beat my friend in a sort of 1 sided game. His first shooting turn was horrendous, he only killed 1 of my hormagaunts while killing 1 of his own men with It Get's Hot, a guy with a plasma pistol. However, it was pretty even until my Hive Tyrant jumped into a unit of assualt troopers 1 with a powerblade, lost 1 wound and then got shot by rapid fire bolters without taking a wound (17 shots i think). He was pretty peeved so he shot my tyrant with the lazcannon taking a wound but the next turn my tyrants HVC scattered from his command squad to on top of his razorback destroying the lascannon i then decided to swoop him over his command squad landing 4 wounds with the vector strike and killing his captain, eliminating the last threatening ranged weapon. The only thing left were his terminators, except when they charged me (i was already in combat) my higher initiative allowed me to attack first causing 3 ap 2 hits on his 3 terminators left, all which failed their invuln saves. After that he pretty much gave up.
To sum it all up, the hive tyrant completely destroyed his army. Is he supposed to be this good?
The warriors sat in front of his terminators and tanked damage at the start before he devoted more of fire to my hormagaunts. Honestly, am I using them right? Should I march them in?
The termagants deployed held off a ridge while the ones spawned by the tervigon rushed and held a building.
The hormagaunts got cut down but something had to die.
The genestealers kinda sucked. kept rolling 1s or 2s on their run and assualt rolls. Only managed to get 2 into combat which were slaughtered. Thanks
edit: forgot the tervigon, he basically did nothing, never in range for cluster spines, spawned 16 termagants before failing and gave FNP to my hormies.
