I can't remember if I posted the ...Hello again!<br />I can't remember if I posted the tourney results last year:) We tied for 4-5 places with 1 win and 2 draws. In fact we were playing very slow and no one of our 3 games came to an end. I'll make a short overview for you:<br /><br />I took a bit different list:<br />1 Tervigon (HQ) @ 175 Pts - Cluster Spines; Catalyst<br />3 Zoanthrope Brood (Elites) @ 180 Pts<br />20 Genestealer Brood (Troops) @ 280 Pts<br />8 Genestealer Brood (Troops) @ 189 Pts<br /> +1 Broodlord @ [77] Pts - Scything Talons; Implant attack<br />6 Genestealer Brood (Troops) @ 146 Pts<br /> +1 Broodlord @ [62] Pts - Scything Talons<br />3 Spore Mine Cluster (Fast Attack) @ 30 Pts<br /><br />My HiveGuards were not ready, so I took zoeys. Spore mines because we had 2 games with fixed DoW deployment.<br /><br /><br />1. First game was against fluffy tyranids with 2 Flyrants, a few stealers, 6 zoeys, mawlock and lots of hormagaunts.<br />On first turn we lashed hormies and killed them right out with stealers with no wounds back.<br />On second turn we repeated that with flyrant.<br />The game ended on turn 3 with a tie, because we ran out of time. If we had one more turn we could make a wipeout on turn 4:)<br /><br />2. Second game against orcs+orcs on wagons w/bikers. Dice were really bad. We won roll-off and deployed aggressively, but then orcs stealed the initiative. On our turn 1, 3 zoeys, oblits and havocs did nothing to the closest battlewagon, but lashed nobs on bikes were cut down by stealers. In two turns orcs almost wiped us out, but outflanking stealers killed lootas on the marker and we tied on mission. The result is a tie.<br /><br />3. Game 3 was against CSM on landraider + platoon IG. I managed a first turn charge and small genestealer brood wiped out a 30-man squad of IG in 2 phases. Zoeys stopped LandRaider while large genestealers brood engaged CSM troops in preparation to assault last IG platoon. Opponents gived up on turn 2.<br /><br />So, we received a bit of team-tourney experience and going to participate this year too, cause it was a lot of fun:)Erlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03093689673521332325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260829252124595446.post-10464716516289604312011-03-31T11:54:06.233-04:002011-03-31T11:54:06.233-04:00Ok, I'll talk with my partner about this.

By dropping the dread, adding 2X2 Oblits w/ the Vindicator, he'd also up his vehicle popping ability. Tactic wise, pop the other teams transports, Lash the guys inside towards your close combat hitters, and you'll be entrenched in your opponent's deployment zone by turn 2. <br /><br />In terms of a small comment on his list, instead of putting a combi melta on the rhino or on the champ, give a regular dude in the squad the melta. You'll still be able to fire out of the top hatch, and it's not a one shot wonder. It also costs the same pointswise.Crispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375051330599916521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260829252124595446.post-34255991738592508872011-03-30T23:38:26.904-04:002011-03-30T23:38:26.904-04:00It's kinda funny- I love the NOVA format an...It's kinda funny- I love the NOVA format an' all, but the 4 way event from last week's posts and now a discussion regarding a Team Tourney kinda has me missing these sorta things...SinSynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12352693991857976930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260829252124595446.post-45912224873000789512011-03-30T02:50:44.619-04:002011-03-30T02:50:44.619-04:00I awaited the words “play aggressively and deploy ...I awaited the words “play aggressively and deploy everything” :) I see how it work and I like the list. Nevertheless I have to make some changes.<br />You know… Belarus is a strange place, where you can’t just go to the nearest market and buy something you like:) It’s the real headache for all the local wargamers. And today morning a good news was your post on the blog, the bad one was that balrog wings for my Flyrant is still somewhere in Sweden (I ordered them 2 month ago and awaited to obtain them tomorrow evening) and will arrive somewhere after the tourney (middle of June). Also, I’ve bought the last hive guard in our local store (I mean that I’ve bought the last one in Belarus for now… whoops!). So… I have to use the minis that are already at my disposal (of course I can borrow some minis from my friends, but I don’t like this idea).<br />So, what I have:<br /><br />Tyranids:<br />2 x Primes (on magnets so any upgrades possible)<br />Tervigon (TS, AG, Scytals, Cluster spines)<br />3 x Zoa<br />1 x HiveGuard<br />16 x Devgants<br />34 x Termagants (mostly for Tervigon purposes)<br />14 x Stealers with nothing<br />1 x Broodlord with scytals<br />22 x Stealers (unassembled and unpainted – any upgrades possible)<br />1 x Broodlord (unassembled and unpainted – any upgrades possible)<br />3 x Ripper swarms<br /><br />What my friend has:<br /><br />CSM:<br />3 simple termies<br />DemonPrince with wings<br />Chaos lord on bike<br />Sorcerer<br />4 oblits<br />Dreadnaught with lascannon<br />Vindicator<br />3 x Rhino<br />40+ marines with different gear (2 meltas, 4 plasmas, 2 lascannons, 2 fists etc.)<br /><br />So, I’m looking at the list like:<br />== HQ ==<br />Tyranid Prime (1) - Devourer, Pair Of Boneswords, Toxin Sacs, Regeneration = 110 pts.<br />== Elites ==<br />Zoanthrope Brood (3) = 180 pts.<br />== Troops ==<br />Tervigon (1) - Scything Talons, Cluster Spines, AG, Toxin Sacs, Cat = 200 pts.<br />Broodlord Brood (388 pts.)<br /> Broodlord (1) - Scything Talons, Toxin Sacs = 65 pts.<br /> Genestealer (19) - Toxin Sacs = 323 pts.<br />Termagant Brood (12) - Devourer = 120 pts.<br />== Total ==<br />998 pts.<br /><br />Deploy centrally, using Zoans+Prime instead of Hive guards… Maybe onslaught for Zoans unit for turn 1. Zoans are great firemagnet but still they need a lot of missiles to put them down (16.2 missiles in average to put down 3 Zoeys in comparison to 14.4 missiles to kill the flyrant in cover looks quite tough). <br /><br />P.S: As I run my blog in russian, I’m gonna translate batreps for you. Hope, It’ll be interesting practice:)Erlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03093689673521332325noreply@blogger.com
