Age of Strife

Ok, so what's the verdict?. We must have a nid player here who has read the dex and formed some early opinions?

my brother got it its allright, swarm lord not eternal warrior and cant go for boimancy in the powers
his warlord trait is 18" synaps
the new models are cool
and the pycic powers are cool to

My reading is that it won't stand up to Eldar, Tau or individual "power lists" (eg Screamerstar, Nurgle Flying Circus), but is otherwise on a par with the rest of the 6th Ed line.

THE DEATHLEEPER CAN ALSO ONLY BE SHOT AT WITH SNAP SHOOTS

Can you go with a horde list then? Most nid players I hear moaning, always say they can't make an effective horde list to play?

Yep they've changed terms to 4 points each and Homs to 5 points each with monsters only cost at most 200 points so a horde is easy achieved

just got mine tuesday morning ( thanks Gav and Nige!) but its still in the cellophane. I've been too busy to read it. I'll report back later after a thorough digestion of its contents and re-pointing my master list.

Cool,

Okay my brother just had his first battle with nids against me
And my opinion don't vs them I just say there a shot and hack as they came close and was having really good dice and then he ownd me it ended at 12 - 0 to him the mission crusade I was horrified

he used your nids against you? did I follow that correctly

No his nids vs my chaos

Ah, I think I have you two mixed up then. It was your brother who I was talking to in the shop, no?

Ye it' was haha

lol so his force was good... how did it differ from your games before the dex came out?

He can now field a lot more for a lot less making shooting harder as there's more to worry about and the fact his trygon prime can take an upgrade to make it I7 makes my units dwindle in numbers before attacking back
