Eric-Chern and I had a game yesterday (17 Aug 04) at Hobby Monkey in Rocklin, CA: 3,000pts Nids vs. SMs...

It was nearly an identical game to the one that Chuck and I played... the Nids did a pretty darn good job of stomping the SMs with a Dominatrix-led super Gaunt horde.

---

Eric brought the following SM units to the field:

- x1 Tactical Squad with commander
- x1 Devastator Squad with Razorbacks
- x2 WW detatchments
- x1 WW detatchment with a Hunter upgrade
- x4 Landspeeder detatchments, each totally upgraded to Tornados with a Librarian each (to beef up CC)...

It was a relief to finally not face Eric's maximized Termie list!

I, the Nid player, brought:

- Dominatric-led Gaunt Horde
(I think it had 57 stands of Gaunts!... x4 Zoanthropes and x2
Ravagers)
- Hive Tyrant-led Gargoyle Horde
(It had x2 Zoanthropes and the x3 Tyranid Warriors as well as about 23 stands of Gargoyles)
- Hierophant Bio-titan
- x3 Genestealer independants (to hold objectives)

---

After two turns, the Nids had lost a lot of stands, but weren't
hurting too bad despite the Hive Tyrant Horde taking a real pasting.

After two turns, the SMs learned respect for Nid Hordes: they lost the Devastator detatchment and two or three Landspeeder detatchments.

At the end of turn two, the Nids were in place to pulverize the
remaining SM detatchments and Eric and I called it a game. Eric and the SMs fully had one objective and had one contested objective.

Maksim fully had four objectives and contested one additional
objective.

Eric and I came to the conclusion that the Nid list could use some MORE playtesting... LOL :)

---

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Yes, load a couple of flights of Vultures with bug spray and let them have it, should be no problem (after the 'nid lists have been tweaked of course)

In the SM/TL-era boxed of two Warhounds, can anyone tell me what weapons came in it?

IIRC it was a selection of the Reaver/Warhound pewter weapons except the Powerfist and Rocket Launcher:

Plasma Blastgun
Vulcan Megabolter
Turbo Laser Destructor
Inferno Gun

Can't remember exactly how many and I also think it could vary slightly from box to box.

Cheers! :)

As I recall, you got a random selection of 2 weapons per Warhound (ie 4 weapons/blister), but WMN's list looks about right.

Yes, I think, W/M is correct, and they were random, as Tas said ...

The first Warhound blisters I know about were Warhound Blisters (074701/1 and 074701/2) and they had set weapons configurations in them.

074701/1 came with "2 x Las-Cannons, Plasmagun, and Multi-melta"
074701/2 came with "2 x AutoCannons, Plasmagun, and Las-Cannon"
