Imperial Guard. Too squishy to crunch properly. Also, their tanks are bigger.irishdelinquent said:
meh, as a tyranid player, chewiness and cruchyness isn't a big factor for me. One time, I was playing a Chaos player, who was rambling at length about how proficient his Daemon Prince was with the nasty killy-squish-death-causing. In response, I simply told him "No matter how many points he is, he still tastes the same in the end". I then proceeded to charge him with my Broodlord and accompanying 'stealers, and rended the pants off him.GenHellspawn said:
hehehehehehe oh, but how I love rending
The Necrons are slightly different from space undead, in that they are made of cheese*. Their weapons are made of cheese, and fire cheese string ammunition. Their special rules are written in cheddar ink on swiss paper. Their vehicles are powered by high-tech Havarti Reactors. And the C'tan have bodies made from a flowing Gouda-like substance.GloatingSwine said:No, the Necrons are just your ordinary run of the mill Space Undead. Tau are clearly the logical interpolation of stuff like Gundam into 40k.Saskwach said:Did you just call the necrons anime? Or were you talking about the tau, who really aren't robots even if they use very anime-like mechs?
If 1 please die a horrible death. If 2, fair enough.
* "Cheese" or "Cheesey" refers to rules being seen as unfair.
And you can even use maths to make it cheesier. I think it was something along the lines of "Oh, you've given my Monolith -1 Attack, right? But look at this! It says you subtract -1 Attack from it! But subtracting a minus is adding a plus! Thanks for the extra Attack."
The monolith is just pure wankerness. "Hey there, mister Eldar! Know that super-special-awesome brightlance rule you have...well, screw you and your brightlance rule!"Blayze said:
As an Eldar player, I know what you mean. Luckily, I have backup in the form of my friend Lewis's Imperial Guard. It's ever-so-satisfying to team up with him against a Necron player and watch them protest the roll, reaching for their Codex, before we drop the true bombshell on them.
"Augur Shell. Look it up."
"Augur Shell. Look it up."
Ahhh, special rules. How they screw over so many people. Like the time I played my friend's Iyanden army with my 'nidsBlayze said:
"Alright, a six on my Wraithcannon! Your carnifex is dead!"
"Nope"
"Huh"
"My warriors are within 12 inches, so he's in Synapse Creature range"
"But...but..."
(P.S: some people will say that synapse doesn't protect against special weapons like a wraithcannon. Check the online errata FAQs)
Best quote I've ever heard.irishdelinquent said:
I love the tyrinids manly because I'm a huge fan of all ranges of xenomorths: Aliens, Zergs, Antlions, Rachni, those ones from Starship troopers. Mmm mmm, goes down well every time. And by that I mean a pain filled screaming death for your foes as they get torn limb from limb by spiky creations.
I've always wanted a 'nid army, and this forum seems to be drawing me into the time-and-money-vacuum that is painting and building the 100+ models it takes to have a respectable force...You people gotta stop, my willpower is waning...I can feel the urge to get out the new codex.
But John Galt...the 'nids...they call to you...can't you hear them? They cry out for you. The Genestealers saying "John! Don't you want to put the fear of the hive mind into people? Don't you love the idea of buzzsawing your way through entire armies?"John Galt said:
Sorry, had to do it. If you're worried about the time-and-money thing, try looking at a different style of list. A box of Genestealers is the same price as a box of Gaunts, but in the game, those same genestealers are worton average twice as much points-wise. Also, never overlook the Nidzilla list...not only do six monstrous creatures take up the points cost quickly, but they're also quicker to paint than large broods. Also, it requires your opponent to make what I like to call a "Bug Shock" test...he rolls 2D6 in his head. If he gets anything greater than a 1, he soils himself in terror.
Necropost =D
So over the last month or so I've been getting back into 40K. Im a few things of my 1500 space marine army and I know a few people who play so ima try to get a campaign running (Chaos vs imp guards vs Dark eldar vs me =D)
It'll be quite fun indeed
