Minsk winter - 2013. Game 1 vs Daemon (Eldar+Tau)



I took part in a 1500 pts local tourney “Minsk Winter – 2013”. We had 16 players at the tourney, so only 8 tables with a lot of terrain – Ymgarls were pleased with that.

Here is my army list:

Hive Tyrant – 2 x TL Devourer, Wings, Paroxysm, Leech Essence, Hive Commander = 285 pts.
Hive Tyrant - 2 x TL Devourer, Wings, Paroxysm, Leech Essence, Old Adversary = 285 pts.
Ymgarl Genestealer Brood (8) = 184 pts.
Tervigon - Stinger Salvo, AG, Toxin Sacs, Cat, Onslaught = 210 pts.
Tervigon - Stinger Salvo, Toxin Sacs, Cat = 185 pts.
Termagant (20) with Devourers in Mycetic Spore with TL Deathspitter = 250 pts.
Termagant Brood (10) with Devourers = 100 pts.
Total = 1499 pts.

Collecting tyranids in 6th. Part 5 - Hard-Drop

You can stop the hammer with your shield, but don’t try to stop the anvil that falls from the sky!
taken from invulnerable40k.blogspot.com

The other variant of a reserve tyranid army is a monster-drop one. The main idea of the army is to target overload the big guns of your opponent! Edition is mostly anti-infantry? Bolter drill is more popular? We have the answer to your hundreads of bolter shots!

The Past and the Future of the Hive-Fleet Hyenna

Year 2009. Actually, I bought my first starter “Battle for Macragge” when my son was born, in August 2009. It took about 5 month to paint 10 gants, 8 spore mines and 6 genestealers!
Year 2010. I did a lot of painting with no game played. I just painted, converted and discussed my army ideas via the internet. I had 71 fully painted models for my first game of 40k at the end of the year, including tervigon conversion;)

Tyranids read FAQs v 1.2

I waited so long for these and I got it! Now gants deploy 6" from spore!!! Yeah, anti-blast deployment! No more punishment from blasts and flamers!!!


Once a Mycetic Spore has landed, all creatures within must immediately deploy – place the unit such that every model is wholly within 6" of the Mycetic Spore.
