There it is for all you stealer fans...

Looks like a good list. I would put your raveners in three separate squads so one volley of fire can kill them all

yeah and when you play again and don't have tha models go ahead and proxy them don't just play short of models... and yes he was playing short on points yesterday!!!

JUst make sure you have the models for the tourney.

Damn Ronnie how many points did you play short?

Did you still hold your own?

I had success by gearing Warriors towards super Raveners (ExCarp, +1WS, +1S, Scyth, Rend, etc) If you go shooting, I'd go Devourers over Deathspitters any day.

Get that Carni a 2nd weapon while you are at it.

Don't try to shoot with your Raveners. You'll find the opponent will remove the models in your charge range and then you're sitting in the open.

What is the dakka tyrant combo?

Is it two sets of twin devourers or deathspitters?

Either way I would drop the gear you have on the tyrant and run him dakka. Any competent player will avoid hand to hand with him.. meaning those cc weapons are wasted. Plus in dakka form he is getting all re-rolls to hit and re-rolls to wound... nasty.

yea I was playing 277pts short but I was there more for an idea of what troops could do what and found the stealers to be pretty affective. and besides who's not going to be intimidated seeing 48 stealers sitting across from them

Two twink Devourers w/ Toxin Sacs

Gives you 12 18" S5 shots which reroll hits & reroll wounds.

Add Wings for full effect

Yeah I've seen people run two tyrants, 1 with a full guard and the dakka and the other with wings and the dakka.

Works wonders.

yea I've kind of used what I have here but who knows next week could make changes, but I did change up the carni by adding adrenal Glands (WS), 2 sets of Scything Talons for the 2 extra attacks and Bio-Plasma, extra attack with Ix2, 4+ to hit and S+1 for wound, bad news if he gets to you, and decided to take Steves advice and making the Ravs stand alone.

Carni will never see combat Ronnie. Very avoidable. Might as well sit on an objective and shoot

yea good point he is kind of slow but would make good D for search and destroy. I'm just trying to use up the resources I have and lower point cost for other Ideas lol

Thinking about dropping gaunts all together and go with a second Tyrant or Lord if I juggle the points around.

keep the gaunts.. as the enemy will more than likely spend all shooting possible on your big bugs and your genestealers..

I have extra sprues of stuff for you that you can use to adjust your list for WYSIWYG.

I don't care for gaunts, they really are useless even when they get there against MEQ... better to load up on the big bugs and genestealers.

so who wants to play me on Sat.?

I left the original list on the first page so you guys can see your influence on the list.

I can give you a rematch so you can see if you like the changes.

Sounds good to me and this time I don't have to worry about the Synapse

Hey Steve,

sorry bout last week some sudden change of events came up that prevented me from showing up but I will be there tomorrow if that rematch still stands..

Only changes to my list are no Deathspitters on Ravs for enhanced senses on the warriors.
