2000 points of Nids (No Guants)
« on: September 24, 2003, 08:59:34 PM »
  I have been toying around with the idea of a ripper swarm based army.  I decided to show the concept list to the 40k.ca community before I start contemplating how I'm going to get so many ripper models.  Any advise and constructive criticism will be appreciated.
 
HQ
 
  Dark Tyrant (mutant) - 181
    2x scything talons, adrenal glands (WS and I), toxin sacs, Wings, extended carapace, Flesh Hooks, Implant Attack

  Flame Tyrant (mutant) - 141
    Same as above, but no wings.

  2x Tyrant Guard (with Flame Tyrant) – 102
    Implant attack

Elites
 
  3x Lictors - 240

Troops

  12x Genestealers - 264
    Scything talons

  10x Ripper swarms - 100

  10x Ripper swarms - 100

  10x Ripper swarms - 100

  10x Ripper swarms - 100

  10x Ripper swarms - 100

Fast Attack
 
  The Red Terror - 104

  3x Raveners - 135
    Scything Talons, Rending Claws

 Heavy Support
 
  3x Zoanthropes - 177
    Warp Blast

  3x biovores - 156
    Poison mines


TOTAL: 2000

  The Dark Tyrant, Raveners, and The Red Terror will rush ahead and soften up the enemy, supported by the hidden Lictors and infiltrating Genestealers.  The Biovores will provide cover fire, and the Zoanthropes will take care of tanks.  The Rippers and the Flame Tyrant plus bodyguard will clean up the remaining survivors.

good ideas there mate, tell us how it goes?! yeah should work very well, exept maybe ur ravaners/red terror and winged hive tyrant will be too far infront of your army (rippers and other tyrant) to be effective. wat im saying is that there could be too bigger gap between your two waves of attacks. <-- this is the reason that people take gaunts and gargoyles etc, etc. anyway, good luck with it an evrything

give some swarms rending claws, so your not compleatly wasted if a dread or similar cahrge u.
and give both your tyrants catalys so your ripper may charge S6 things without letting their low I make them totally usless.
say you have some rending rippers, if they are catalysten it is worth chargen even grey knights as it is 3 dead rippers on each grey knight.

In the 2003 UK Grand Tournament Rippers are being treated as Genofixed species...

Should be very funny to watch a game involving this army...
