No One's 10e Lists

[nidsallday]

funnily enough, 3 Exos with lethal hits and 2/3 with rr1 are, on avarage, just enough to kill a repulsor. but 2 tyrannos with lethal hits are not cutting it (on average they are leaving the repulsor on 2,52 wounds).

Since WTC (and a few other places) have changed their mind on redeploy timing, thought I should have a list version for that and see how it looks (bio nerf I think I'm happy with just dropping a biovore and adaptive biology to perfectly adapted otherwise).

Means I can just outright drop the mediocre neurotyrant and just take more scoring/util stuff: went with 2nd gargoyles+barbgaunts. Like the gargs, I think it gives me either good bodyblock utility and primary denial (either one on board and other DS, or both in DS) and also potentially quite strong into GSC, but one could be sufficient and 2nd zoans could be better. Barbgaunts less sure about: seems a lot more niche in application, several armies have either no infantry, or no infantry I'd ever get to shoot that care about them. But also 50 pts, and should be good into e.g. 'Crons, Custodes (only one squad can have Trajann), maybe GSC as well, all of which are strong armies, as well as a lot of the midfield e.g. Orks/WE. Not sold though, but it's an awkward amount of points otherwise. Single pyro's good, but not really at '55' pts.


Hive Tyrant (Warlord: heavy venom cannon, lash whip and bonesword, adaptive biology) 245
3 Tyrant guard 95
Exocrine 135

5 pts and a lictor that could be Deathleaper: don't know if the assassinate card vulnerability is worth the upside. But anyway, seems decent, may actually play it over GSC at some point when I'm shorter on time (especially with how much the redeploy nerfs hurt GSC).

looks like a solid list! just a few remarks from what i gathered from auspex' new nids-list-vid. seems like nid-zilla or balance between monster and troops (exactly as you list is) seem to be the most successful ones. but, iirc none of the top-scoring list had tyrant guard the protect ht. seems like they just hid ht and used the points saved from guards for more scoring/monsters/support.

WTC ruling is a weird one though, since step 10 doesn’t say to resolve any rules.

Ditto the TG drop, not worth the juice if taking Adaptive Biology.

It's something I've toyed with: I do want to be able to push up with the advance aura with the t-fex, which sounds like a bad idea without t-guard. But that is fairly minor in this iteration, essentially only for the t-fex...Nothing jumps out as amazing replacements either, though more zoans wouldn't go amiss. Hmmm...
