I really really really really really hate Tyranids, its the gayest army in the game. It was 1500 points sieze ground. I'm not going to go into detail, just the highlights of the game.
1.) First 3 turns I managed to whipe out all but 4 of his gaunts, leaving him with virtually no troops to capture objectives.
2.) My lascannon teams, in the 6 turns, only hit 3 times, and caused a single wound.
3.) My battlecannons scattered only a few times, but utterly destroyed just about everything he had.
4.) After turn 3, things turned for the worse becuase of the nid ultra-gayness rules(5 wound, regenerating, 2+ save carnifex?)
5.)By the end, I had a single JO as part of one of my platoons holding an objective.
6.) A platoon command squad assaulted some of his remaining gaunts, and murdered them.
7.) Beating the ultra-gay tyranids with the 'weakest' army in the game.
Apperantly, I played the sore winner and sore loser of the group. I celebrate everytime a nid player loses, even though they have the gayest army in the game.

Not a fan of Nids then......
Still congrats on your win. My lascannons never hit anything too and I bring a bucket load to the table!

I take two anti tank lascannon squads with sharpshooters and they still can't manage to hit the broad side of a baneblade and then when they do they only ever roll ones to damage.... oh well.
And yes. Nids suck. The last time I played nids I killed 1500pts of them with only losing four guardsmen. I didn't even have any damaged vehicles. Most one sided game I've ever seen. Ever.
Congrats on your victory. I too rejoice at the downfall of every nid zergling wanna-be.

I have had little sucess with my Nids, I think the tendency to go over the top with the monsterous creatures is their downfall, the need lots and lots of gaunts supported by as many synapses creatures they can get, I can see a very large swarm with lots of warriors being pretty effective, the super fexes and hive tyrants are more or less just a point sink, too bad, I have two talon/crusher fexes and fancy winged hive tyrant who never pulls his weight (though the Fexes are super death if they manage to assault just about anything on the table.)
some day I am going to overdose on warriors and gaunts, until then I feel like my Nid army is incomplete as the swarm itself is not large enough to justify the huge monsters.

Sounds like the Nid player didnt know what he was doing, and only the beard-ness of his Godfex was effective. I play nids, and find them challenging as hell yet really really satisfying. Guard likewise, only in a different way. 4.) Made me laugh a lot  Nid ultra-gayness rules ;D Perhaps find a more experienced Nid player and you wont find them so 'gay'. |

If you do, then don't take HW teams. Such concnetrations of heavy firepower in such vulnerable squads are simply an incentive for him to use that pinnacle, epitome and highest achievement of beardiness: The Lictor.

Lictors aren't too beardy, they have a tendancy to break very very easily if used improperly. The feeder tendrils benefit is great though, I love it when gaunts hit on a 4+ ;D Other than the special abilities theyre actually quite fragile. I saw one of my friends lictors get hammered by a squad of fire warriors once. Very amusing |

anybody can have a crazy 6s killing streak, it is a thing of pure beauty, or absolute horror, depending on which side your on.

Yep. He took it well and laughed/groaned it off. It was very comical for all of us. There was some strange, very luckly/unlucky rolling though by both parties. I've seen plenty of Lictors minced by lasfire though. And beaten to death with lasguns/bayonets. |

nid use in right way bad for ig, there gayness factor can change. I ran one with flying hive tryan and fyling warriors with a brood lord and lagre amount of stleers, with lictors in support, the warriors and tryan for shooting and the rest for eating up the left over, yes gayfex were out there cause a mess too, use the models from fw, if i ever rebuild nids i would use the fw modles for nids, those are badass looking
