New Army for the New Year!


Hello it's been awhile! My eBay store has almost sold out of its yearly haul, but there are a few random Eldar and dark Eldar items still up for sale.  Check out the link on the right if you're looking for some good deals!

Since my last post I went and started writing articles for Bell of Lost Souls.  I've only written 2 so far, but will write more as I get some more free time.  They were on The Art of Mental Training and touched on the psychological / mental components of gaming.  They may not appeal to a wide audience, but I think there are some who appreciate them.  I will repost them here for my own reference after the new year.

I've also started a new army.  Things got a little stagnant with my Eldar and Dark Eldar.  I played Dark Eldar almost exclusively during 5th, and Eldar since the new Codex came out.  It was time for a change!  So I made a pretty big change and started up ..... TYRANIDS!!!


Here is the army I've been running lately:  

Hive Tyrant: twin-linked devourer with brainleech worms; twin-linked devourer with brainleech worms; wings; electroshock grubs 240
Hive Tyrant: twin-linked devourer with brainleech worms; twin-linked devourer with brainleech worms; wings; electroshock grubs 240

3 Ripper Swarms: Deep Strike 45
3 Ripper Swarms: Deep Strike 45

Malanthrope 85

Dimachareon 200

Tyrannocyte 75

Barbed Hierodule 565

Hive Tyrant: twin-linked devourer with brainleech worms; twin-linked devourer with brainleech worms; wings; electroshock grubs 240

1 Mucolid Spore Cluster 15

Void Shield Generator: 2× additional projected void shield 100

1,850 points

This army packs a pretty nasty punch.  I've tried variations with 4 or 5 Flyrants, and those are pretty nasty too.  I'll post some battle report summaries as they come in.  This army is such a far detachment from Eldar and Dark Eldar - I think it'll be a nice counterbalance for them.
