[raziel69r]

Hello Hive,

I don't normally post but I have had a very good win ratio with this list and mild varients of it that I thought I would share it with the rest of you lovely minds. If anyone knows a way to improve it let me know.

Oh. All my psykers always roll on Biomacy because its stupidly good.

wins vs.

Space Wolves 1
Guardsman 2
Necrons 4
Grey Knights 1 derp derp derp derp

Don't get me wrong I have lost a few games but not with this list. ;D ;D

Well, it is a solid list with no poor performers. A good elite Nid list. I take it you field your tervs as support critters rather than offensive juggernauts?

[FTGTEvan]

Congrats on the streak. Kinda hard to offer suggestions to something that clearly works and works well. Can guess, but it would be nice to hear your typical strategy/battle plan with this list.

[raziel69r]

Yea the tervigons generally stay in the rear/midfield for synapse and support. As for tactics... well it depends on what i'm facing! Against the necrons I was quite defensive, making him have to run his wraiths to my lines. but with IG I hightailed my flyrants up to his artillary then blew his large amount of men up with biovores and cluster spines . I generally dont move much into the enemy half I just focus on killing basic troops and anything that hurls pie plates at my gants.

[loupis]

seems like a really solid list

Ya this is THE cookie cutter nid list so the win ratio is not surprising lol solid list, its the one we all use if we want to win haha

Yeah this is pretty much what everyone runs. I'm going with more of a swarmlord varient with double trygons, ymgarls, and commando broodlords instead.

[0800hell]

i run much the same list but with no hive guard or 2nd gon I normally take extra gaunts with these points but just for lols i take 20GS with BLsome times

Yeah I always roll on Biomancy first with Zoans. If I get endurance or Iron arm with 1, I typically will roll on Telepathy (I think?) for the other and if I don't get anything worthwhile I take psychic shriek. That way, with Iron arm, you get to use majority toughness and they can't be ID'd. With Endurance its nice to dish out FnP on things that would need it that turn. And if you get enfeeble its just a bonus.

If the 1st Zoan doesn't get any of the above, I typically WILL roll on Biomancy for both.

Doom? I will roll on Biomancy on the off chance I get Iron Arm. If my opponent can't manage to take him down when he arrives he's going to have to deal with him or Doom will ruin his day.

If I don't get Iron Arm, then anything else isn't quite as useful....

Iron Arm cannot be cast in the turn it arrives from reserves - it is a Blessing, and is cast at the beginning of the DoMs movement phase, where it is still in reserve...
