The nids almost had it 2-0 in the third but the HQ rallied and denied them TSNP. It went to points in the 4th with IG winning 2010 to 963. We played this on the new Realm of Battleboard that the Whiz got. Pretty nice once you cover all the skull piles. Matt's Commissar Baneblade had a problem with the rocky outcroppings though...

Ouch! Carnage. Any further conclusions on the gaunty horde type of list?

With just plain synapse swarms going to points is always going to be rough, loose one warrior and you're already at half-strength or less. I'm still not convinced lists like this are auto-winners, 2-3 more tests and we'll see.

I think the harridan horde is the one that needs testing, as that seems to be the direction most people are swinging with v10.

Seems they are consistent in going to four turns and VPs. And whether they win or lose via VPs could be pre-determined by the method of VP calculation possibly?

A lot of failed nid assaults in this game - was it all down to bad dice?

Post subject:  Re: 3k Tyranids v10 vs NetEA IG - 2011/11/30

The Trygon assault on the BTS and Baneblade, as well as the synapse swarm assault on the Mech Coy definitely were. Didn't make too many 5+ saves.
