Man, that's a lot of marines and armour! I built a pretty tough list but I'm still feeling apprehensive.

Shall we start taking bids?

I don't know how August can win without the Vulcan Lysander combo

Lurker for the win, sry Chimera. Just too many marines.

Hope its a blast

Chimera gets my vote. I believe in his solid tactics and keen eye, as well as being able to show everyone that 'Nids are a competitive army!

Awww, thanks. *sniff*.

I suppose I should add that we're going to play 5 objectives (evenly spaced), pitched, 6 turns. Seeing as he'll be able to combat squad everything to have six stationary scoring units putting out heavy weapon fire and six highly mobile units putting out rapid-fire anti-infantry (or anti-MC with all that plasma) fire I don't feel quite so optimistic. And that's just the tactical squads! The one advantage I have is that we'll only be playing on a 6x4 ft. table so he only has so much room to stay away. Still, every time I compare our lists all I see is heavy weapon/plasma and flamer/rapid-fire deaths. But maybe all he sees is blown up rhinos and eviscerated combat squads.

Lurker for the win, sry Chimera. Just too many marines.

Hope its a blast

I have to agree.

[Berserker]

I dunno but the power weapons seems kind of redundant I mean Nid's will 95% of the time attack in CC 1st so knowing that I would go a powerfist and strike with double base strength instead.

I know a power weapon is 15 Pts while a powerfist is 25 Pts so you probably have around 50ish points to free up so it might not be worth the trouble but that is my 2 cents.

I think Cleary's hijacked your account there, Graeme.
