Goatboy’s Warhammer 40K: I Like Big Bugs and I Cannot Lie!

I won’t lie – I love Tyranid big bugs. But let’s make something scary that ISN’T Crusher Stampede – whose days may be numbered…

Today I want to write up a Nidzilla list that isn’t Crusher Stampede because we don’t know what is going to happen to that army of Renown (hint, hint).  This means I want to just use the new NID book to create my monster army.  The fun thing is I will make sure to keep it built in a way to fit the Army of Renown builds just in case it ends up being viable for that type of army. Let’s get he Big Bug party started!

I Like Big Bugs!

Stomping To Victory

This is a pretty simple list with 9 Screamer Killers to bring back the old feelings of 40k mixed with enough back up to keep them going.  The plan is to add stuff to a unit of Screamer Killers and send them barreling in to cause some massive damage.  I figured with this many big bugs there is no way you can escape. The table is only so big, and the chunky boys are fast enough.  I am sure you have some friends with a ton of the old Metal ones too so you can rebase and send them onto the battlefield ready to do the good work of the Hive Mind.
