Tyranids vs New Chaos Knights 2000 pt written battle report

[stormcoil]

Hello Hive Mind! We have another codex leak so it is a great chance to play a practice game. This time my Tyranids are taking on the new Chaos Knights. What tricks does this new knights codex bring to the table? Can the swarm continue against an army with no biomass?

Thanks for theese reports. And please keep it up writing them! I try to think that I learn more from a loss than a win, and reading your reports of losses are very educational. We know you are a good player and when we see you struggles we get to know the weakness of the army.

I still have not played the new nids, I have stuck with GSC a while but am going in to nids again.
I am looking at lists and reports the shift from old nids, and gsc, is huge. Before it was ”how do I score despite the fact i can’t hurt them”. Now focus seems to be more on killing, standing still on objectives.
In one way that is giving tempo to the opponent. They know where you are and where you will be.
What about going for a bit old style: engage, RND and a psychic/killy one and then use more expendable stuff to do stuff and keep a tight core that focuses on staying a live and kill from a distance?

But this is thoughts from the sidelines so far, I will test a Kronos doubble HT, monstermash tomorrow.

Please keep writing the reports and kudos to youfor trying to find new ways on playing nids instead of the usual combos.

By the way the Shardgullet IS the real Leviathan Relic, not the preceptic node...

I guess that on this game the Shardgullet (Perfectly Adapted) might have been very useful as for every single shooting phase that tyrant would annihilate or bracket a small Knight.
