Thanks Xavian, these Infos help a lot. I have the Nid Codex, but mainly for fun. I guess i'll study it a bit before the game although i can't say what he's going to field. I know he owns two of the old Army Boxes and a couple of Tyrants. Everything else will be a surprise. I didn't realize Nids have poisoned weapons en masse so that's a good reason not to field Dual-WLs.
As you can tell from my collection, i'm not a big fan of mech-lists. My Faloncs were used as Serpent proxies mainly when there was no model available for them and since then, they have seen next to no play. I'm a big fan of armies with lot's of infantry. I use Transport mainly because they have become a necessary evil.
Irisado, you're right i guess. I gladly post a list, i just didn't quite know where to start. I guess my usual plan will have to do here, with some major alterations. This is a 5-minutes build without too much thinking into it. A problem i have while designing a list for a such a big game, is that at 1800 or so points, i feel like adding 'extrastuff'. A couple more specific questions, in case someone can share their insight:
- What do people think about Hawks vs. Nids? I bought them a couple of months ago on ebay and i'd really like to try them.
- Dark Reapers worth it?
- Double RoWa? (Errata)
- Harlies or Scoprions (if Scorps, Fortune?)
