1500 Point Apocolypse List

[Xyver]

The first thing you're probably thinking is "1500 points for apocolypse? That's too small! Do you mean 15 000?"

No no, 1500 is what I want. The local gaming store is having a giant apocolypse game, and each person is to bring 1500 points. So I need 1500 points of nids that will be fun to play in a large apocolypse game.

I want to bring in some biovores, because they're hilarious, and a carnifex as well. Perhaps a tyrannofex...

What are some cool units to play in apocolypse? I don't really want to make a kickass list that destorys everything (but that would be a nice side effect), I just want a list thats fun to play. What are good units to accomplish that?

If you're looking for fun and not necessarily winning...just try fielding stuff that you wouldn't normally...just to try them out. I'm assuming you'll be teaming up with other players...let them focus on the usual mundane stuff...troops/objectives. Bring some unusual stuff that only tyranids can bring to the table to mess with your opponents.
3 model lictor brood for backfield harassment.
Deatleaper/PoM/OOE...just for the hell/fun of it...
Lots of biovores to cover the board in pie plates or spore mines.
Full broods of dakkafex!
Hell...load up a bunch of spores with pyrovore brood and drop them right next to units in cover just to say hello!

Just playing some of the non-standard stuff they're not used to might even throw off your opponents game some...

1500... well, a Harridan and Scythed Hierodule accomplish that exactly...

Or else a Hierophant plus three Biovores leaves you with 115 points to play with.

Or Two Barbed Hierodules, two Biovores and ten points to play with.

If you have the option to play 'Nids in apocalypse, you gotta bring a Titan!

Lol, I wish I had titans. I know that there are 2-3 people that have heirophants that go to the store, so im sure that there will be titans appearing.

OOH OOH OOH-

You should bring, like, seven Tervigons. GAUNTSPAM.

Are they using the BRB rules or Apocalypse? If Apocalypse...i don't have the book handy...but doesn't the FOC get thrown right out? And if I remember almost anything is a scoring unit except flyers and immobilized vehicles...
Hmmm...1500 = 8 trygons and Deathleaper
= 65 yealers
= 2x fexstar (Prime-lw/bs,regen and 3x carni-devourer,devourer,regen)
Just fun stuff to screw around and have fun with...

Don't forget that the Force Organisation Chart doesn't apply in Apoc, so how about 5 Flyrants?!?! Nnneeeeyyyyoooowwww dakkkadakkadakka!

[blindmage]

Bring nothing but Meiotic Spores and Spore Mines! It'll be a BLAST!!

I'd do it!

I'd suggest 1,500 points of Rippers...but that is my list....apoc needs to be special!

[GuardDog78]

^^^ 42xmeiotic spores and one brood of 3 ripper bases...BAM! 1500 exactly lol

[sunshine]

I would take 1500 points of GARGOYLES

Haha crazy suggestions, lots of the ideas were good, but I wish I had more models to do those ideas

I ended up running 2 carnifexes, 2 broodlords with 5 genestealers each, 10 genestealers, 2 biovores, 3 hive guard and 3 warriors. and 14 gaunts with devourers.

It was a very chaotic and mayhem filled game, we only had 5 minutes per phase

So every turn my biovores spammed mines on the clump of orcs, that was fun. My carnifex's came on turn 2, and I charged straight for the 2 baneblades, but they exploded before I got there So I dove into a warboss, and then got swarmed by orcs (after killing the warboss). The second carnifex got dragged into another combat (curse you lack of synapse!) and was stuck killing scrubs.

My friend was playing terminators (his list had ~30, it was wicked) and he wanted to fight me. So I brought all my genestealers and broodlords on, and was going to fight his terminators, and then they all got vaporized by an orbital strike. Which also took out my prime, 2 warriors, and a hive guard. So... not much happened there.

My gaunts rushed up the middle, and shot some stuff, then just sat around (I kinda forgot about them ).

So all in all, all I did was shoot spore mines, and fight with my carnifex's. But it was still fun
