Topic: seeding swarms!

[attila the hun]

i have the new chapter approved and MAN, seeding swarms are sooo cool, a whole nid army that can deepstrike,models that can KEEP on coming back via deepstrike! :owhoa......now i dont play nids but i have a friend who does, and have u guys noticed how genestealers never seem to get into close combat, or when they do your squad is a third of the size? well, thats what happens to my friends nids, well, with he seeding swarm rules, you can have them deepstrike, and if they all die, they can deepstrike again...an again....and again...and again...etc etc etc...deadly, im just wonderin what you guys think of the new army list variant?

I dont know the rules for the seeding swarm but i dont think you would keep getting the units again and again and again and again and again and again and again. And if they do get to keep coming back there must be a down side to it.

[attila the hun]

yea, well, the only downside i can think of is that they then take up a heavys choice if u want em to keep coming back, and it IS by deepstrike

[Andie]

Would you have to wait 2 turns then deepstrike. They get killed. Wait 2 turns then deepstrike again? It probably says in the rules so dont tell me otherwise GW will get mad or something.

no they come back after the turn they are wiped out!!

and you can also make them frenzied wich gives the unit a bonus on certain parts of its statline making the genestealers really nasty !!!!!! the down side is that they occupy fast attack choice and that they risk a wound every turn.
