Topic: Nid's in Combat Patrol

[Windowlicker]

OK im just doing a list el quick as my friends coming over.
How are nid's supposed to play Combat Patrol?
No more than 1 wound means we have 0 synapses.
Do we just modify this rule?

You've read that wrong, you get up to 2 wounds.
Personally when I play combat patrol I have used 3 shooty warriors with a vennom cannon and devourers, supported by two groups of genesteales with extended carapace. However I will say that tyranid find combat patrol harder to play well than other armies, mainly due to the lack of high powered fire power we can lay down at the low points level and unit constrictions in combat patrol.

CP is brutally hard for tyranids.  You have pretty much two choices: Genestealer heavy, or warriors and little things.  Genestealer Heavy doesn't have enough models to make it to the enemy EVER, and warriors+little things just doesn't have much of a punch, and will be shot up again.

My suggestion is to do 500 points (which we're still bad at, but not as awful) if you need a quick game.
