PS. Once you are down to only 1 guard (with SLord and Prime) then the entire unit will benefit from Iron Arm (majority T and all that.)
Once down to just the Slord and Prime (or SLord and guard), then the unit has majority WS of WS9

Actually the entire unit would have WS9 with 1 Guard (WS5), Swarmlord (WS9) and Prime (WS6).

I thought that was the case, then I looked it to double check, and saw that the Prime was also WS5.
Then you corrected, so I double double checked... and realized I had looked at Trygon Prime. (Argh!)

So the upshot is that the WS majority *does* work with SL/Guard/Prime.

Thanks for the catch.

I need to know 2 things to get why people banned that unit.

1. Was it emphasized to be a friendly tournament and you show up with a 400-500p very though monster unit and the other people got like a balanced list and were not at all prerpeared to face your list?

2. What kind or tournament was it? who was holding it? and how many players?. Because if it was like 7 other players and they got buthurt about your list and then banned it then this is really funny or was it a standard tournament with a serious host because I find it hard he would ban a unit just because som players complained.

It was a 750 pt escalation league with monthly tourneys at the local gameing club. I don't feel my unit was op guys were bringing flyers the cyan dredknights terms squads ecr roughly 12 guys show up.

Next time take four Tervigons (2 HQ, 2 Troops). That'll learn 'em.

Ooh, teach how to really biomancy, that's nasty nurglitch.

Well I am leaving the deathstar at home till the points go up and don't want the Hassel of hearing these guys complaine and don't own any tervigons so for the second installment of750 iI'm thinking

Flyrant 2x tl dev and regen

Flyrant 2x tl dev and regen

4x guant squads of ten models each

I bet I'm gonna hear them cry foul again.......

I believe in regen its worked out for me in the past and might get lucky on a biomancy roll and get it will not die as well

[ranmafan]

Let us know how it goes!

[infornography]

In low point games (1000 or less) regen can be worth it. Anything above that though and the enemy will have the firepower to burn down anything that has it before regen can be used.

But they have to hit it first

Doom is also pretty nice in low point lists... bet this guy would scream OP then.

[freakman13]

When Doom goes off they always scream OP. Even when they run Saint Resurrection with the Nid burning sword. My Doom sits in my army for that very purpose, sometimes strong, always a cheap distraction from my other stuff running up and eating his army. But, yeah squeeze a DoM in a spore in (130 pt) and he will cry like a baby.

[rpricew]

This is one of the best threads ever... Thanks for sharing, but sorry to hear that your opponents are such tools. Good job wrecking face, and it sounds like you brought the right list to the right tournament. You could try switching out the Swarmlord for a Armored Tyrant. Same mentality, but not such an Uber broken unit. It's just your regular old HQ choice. LOL

[ammohog]

Oh they already screamed op about the doom when the escalation was at 500 pts and I promised to leave him out of further lists at 500 I took the doom a prime two units of spike guants and some gargoyles ........geeze us nid players just can't catch a break even though most of our list got needed in 6th end.

[infornography]

Sounds to me like your local tournies are populated by cry-babies. What other units are banned at this point? How long before all that is fielded is basic troops choices and the weakest HQ?

[gigasnail]

i have seen some low points leagues that flat out banned uniques and named HQ but that's up front. these guys are crying.
