Rampaging Guards

[dkng]

Not something competitive. Not something smart. Just a fun idea.

Get a Tyrant, preferably barebones. Get him killed as quickly as possible taking as many lives with him as you can (dont forget about Death Frenzy). Use the Instinctive Rampage strat. Have Tyrant Guard loaded into a Tyrranocyte - you can have 6 per one pod (or burrow them with Jorm). Deepstrike them, hopefuly at T3 at the latest, and have a unit with +4 to charge, +1 hit and wound. Be Behemoth or Kraken to reroll charges, use Shard Lure if needed - this gets as close to 100% as possible for a deepstrike charge success.

They only gain the benefits of that stratagem against the unit that killed the Hive Tyrant. So you won't have much control of it. They could have +4 to charge a piece of artillery that's too far to charge.

One shouldn't drink and hive! The hive will jump on incorrect rules postings faster than a hormogaunt can run!

Well, GW has always said Warhammer was a beer and pretzel game…

Can nids even get drunk?

Maybe this is the answer! Pour liqour all over a world that is about to be consumed by a Hive tendril, all the bugs get wasted and start puking, the Norn Queen notices the loss of biomass and simply departs

Now I'm really hoping someone has written hilarious fan fic about an imperium research facility trying to figure out this very question.

Ipa doctrine. Fires vats of alcohol at incoming hive fleet

IPA doctrine? Is that one of the new doctrines from the squat codex?
