So I broke out my nids after they've been boxed up for a good while now (since I wasn't able to get rid of them might as well use them) and played them in a 2,000 pt. game against Chaos this Saturday. Things went... less than perfect for me but all in all was a pretty fun game. I want to use as many big bugs as possible, but as many of you may know Mr. fexy is not as good as he use to be... and by good I mean about the same, just 60-80 points cheaper.
So in this game I had 3 units of 2x Fex, 2 Screamer killers, 2 Dakkafex, and 2 With Scytals/HVC. The Screamer killers got shot town by a torrent of Vindicator/Noise marines/Dreadnought fire so they didn't have much chance sad to say. The Dakkafex took out a Hellbrute and around 6 marines before they were blasted by obliterators. The real stars were the ones with the HVC's, they took out a Rhino with shooting, and in combat with the Prime they took out 2 squads of Noise marines.
Also I can seem to roll my saves at any point and my opponent makes his like crazy so I still chalk up most of his kills to luck. I'll fail 2 out of 3 3+ saves for Carnifex, whereas he fails 2 out of 9 3+ saves for Marines.
At this point I'm still trying how to best work out builds for my Carnifex, most smash for my points so to speak. Now I know about less than 20% of the people who go here actually like carnifex but I do so I continue to take them to this very day! Also since I bought 10+ of the damn things I might as well use them!
So what bugs should I pair up with my Fexy horde? Maybe some Tervigons with tons of little skittering gaunts all around the fex? Maybe a Hive tyrant with a big guard os 3x Lash guard and Hormies? A tide of outflanking Genestealers? Honestly some input would be nice for that.
P.S.
Kinda annoying thing happened, I was called cheesey for having 6 Carnifex in 2,000 pts. but when he had 4 squads of Noise marines with sonic blasters and FnP in Rhinos no one said anything about that. Is it just me or there some hate going on...
