Alright so tomorrow Sunday I got a game scheduled versus some buddies of mine.
4,000 pts Tyranids (me) vs Raven Guard (main detachment) + Black Templar (allied detachment)
This is double force org.
I am expecting to face their typical key units, for the Raven Guard player these are
Storm Raven
Storm Talon
Land Raider Crusader
Assault Centurions
Terminators
Librarian (though he prob might not use it since it always fails him big time lol but he always seems to field it anyway, think last game might've been the last draw for the libby tho)
Scouts
Predator (AC; Las-sponsons)
Chapter Master on foot
The Black Templar player whom is more experienced than the Raven Guard dude typically fields
3 Dreadnoughts (multimelta)
Terminators
2 Chapter Masters (1 on bike with hammer and shield eternal the works; one on foot with armour indomitus and burning blade)
Emperor's champion
Chaplain
3 Attack Bikes (wielding Multi-melta; usually paired with chapter master on bike)
Razorbacks (TL-lascannon)
2 ADL (icarus-lascannons)
Black Templar Crusader squads with some power weapons
The Raven Guard player has never faced my nids before and he's somewhat starting out in the hobby (has yet to defeat any of my armies), The Black Templar player got me into the hobby, plays much less than me, but I'm who he usually faces whenever he does play and knows my style of play very well and usually does pretty good against me. Plus i've helped him built up his black templar forces (the entire BT army he owns used to belong to me) and he's gotten pretty good at using them to the point that our games always tend to be super close. Hasn't faced my nids in 6th much because they've sat on the shelf for most of 6th ed, beating me on my first game back with Nids but being demolished in the 2nd game.
They are prepping to see the following list :
HQ:
Swarmlord
2 Winged Tyrant - 2x devourers
Troops:
2 Tervigon - crushing claws; ag; ts; full psychic powers
2 termangant 10 man units
Heavy Support:
3 Trygons - ts
They saw me play this list and demolish imperial guard w/space wolf allies. And are most likely planning to counter all those units
So now that i've got all the background info out of the way I want to show you guys the 3 lists I came up with to run against them and hopefully get some ideas advice that might make it more interesting.
For the record I am NOT looking for tournament quality as you will notice with my lists I spam a lot and not necessarily only the 'best' choices. I simply like to give all my stuff some play time, but I do like to remain competitive so the idea is to keep a competitive edge while playing for fun and laughs.
I can expect them to do the same.
So in my next 3 posts I'll post up the lists I got planned with some general idea of what I'm planning with it knowing that i'm facing marines and you can give your opinions.
