The nid castle(2000pts) buffed nid heavy shooting list

[protro]

This is nid heavy shooting list

How this list work is l am using both of the the buff malanthrope -1 to hit, Maleceptor stratagem -1 strength together on the acid fex and the Exocrine near the Malanthrope and maleceptor ,And l surround them with termagaunts to avoid getting charge by the enemy,the reason l use acid fex is because in case someone get close to the nid castle l want to hit them with 4d6 auto hit acid spray,l have the Neurothrope to put catalyst on my maleceptor,because the maleceptor always get targeted first,the warriors have adaptive Physiology to help me grab objective,l have 3 Lictors to help me score line breaker.

How l set up

l find a big empty space close to the development line,l put the Malanthrope behind the maleceptor,l put two acid fex on the left side and right side of the maleceptor,then l put 3 Exocrine behind the Malanthrope,then l surround them with 60 termagaunts

l Hope this list helps you to score some victory,so far l got straight two victory from this list

l hope l don't get bombardment from the enemy

the problem with this castle is it isn't mobile, assuming you want to not leave 2 of the Exocrines behind. Which means you wont be pushing onto objectives. Someone did this but with 3 Barbed Hierodules and had decent success. The Hierodules can move and still apply good shooting pressure while also being a melee threat. The Hierodules dont need to be Kronos either, so they were Jorm giving them a 1+ armor save. But I guess if you can't get the big bugs then this is the best we can do with codex monsters.

I actually really like this list. Interested to hear why you’ve gone without Hive Guard?

[hiveoverall]

Very interesting list indeed. I think no hive guard because this way he doesn’t have to bother with finding a spot out of line of sight to set them up. This lists seems like it needs to be deployed in a certain way.
It seems quite strong to me too, good concept.

This lists seems like it needs to be deployed in a certain way.

And that's why I don't like it: it wants to be deployed as a big bunch of 6 big based MCs in a 6" bubble, but that's awkward to fit, slow (some of it doesn't even want to move) and unwieldy WRT terrain...It just feels like a 'play on planet bowling ball and ignore objectives' list, and that shouldn't be workable.
