1k of fun

[blackrainbow]

List building last night to provide my Necron friend a variety, as well as upping my first-hand know-how on some aspects of our Hive, I made several themed lists. They ranged from super competitive flyers, nidzilla, sea of claws (one of my favs) and such. The last build I titled Taste of Tyranny, as it provided a well rounded set of models to choose from and gives both players a chance to see a lot of what we have to offer. Looking back over it I think it's pretty well balanced to boot, so I thought I'd share it.

Taste of Tyranny
HQ Hive Tyrant, H. venom cannon, eGrubs, Indescribable Horror
Troops 20 hormagaunts; 10 termagants, 5 with devs; 3 warriors(a: ScyT, b:barbed strangler, c: bare); four ripper swarms w toxin sacs & deep strike; 5 GS, one w ScyT.
Elite Hive Guard; Lictor; Venomthrope; Zoanthrope
FA Spore Mine Cluster of 6
Heavy Biovore, Mawloc

A wide variety of fun units, has almost all bases covered, though perhaps not super effectively, and overall, a fun theme. That works for me, what do you all think?

If I was playing a fun game I'd spec my Flyrant to have no guns and play it as an old school combat monster

Yeah, the good old CC days. I put the gun on it as that is a common picture so I figure most folks would be familiar with it. Indy Horror the same, old days before everyone was fearless.

Good thread, I've been pondering how to tone down my 2x Flying Hive Tyrants because my bud is seriously butt hurt that I keep beating him.

That was my first thought going into it, take what they fear and make it... less? Again why I put the Indescribable Horror - part joke, part fluff. It's hard to leave the eGrubs on it, but they still kind of need it. Also, as a basic template it's fun.

Another thing I did for this was re-read up on what each weapon actually did, so we can get into a "...eats its' way through your armor and into your brain..." etc type atmosphere.
