knife&fork Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 @knifeandfork I have similar problems there was a short thread on our best anti air options versus those exact flying bugs. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298239-only-angels-may-fly/ It was very helpful if those ideas hadn't occurred to you already. R Unfortunately forge world is out of the question since the only tournaments that allow them are the one I organize myself. :) For casual games I'm already winning, these days I just tend to leave the tyrant for last and concentrate on everything else. He's not a game winning unit on his own. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285142-what-2014-will-bring/page/52/#findComment-3863208 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaweda Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I think it just happens to be in the path of the hive fleet. They aren't targeting it per se, but it's in their flight path and it has some biological matter. Therefore, they'll attack.

GrunTeufel Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I wonder if there will be any mention of tyranids dying of skin cancer...grimdark I don't think biologically engineered killing machines care much about radiation. I mean, cockroaches certainly don't. And I am fairly sure tyranids are stronger than cockroaches. And I don't think the radiation levels are that bad. Baal is still populated after all. Sure a mutated population but sill... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285142-what-2014-will-bring/page/52/#findComment-3863313 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrunTeufel Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Thank god you pointed that out (self note I still need a sarcasm font) lol Ha! All in good fun man. It would be funny if the tyranids made planetfall and giant scorpions which are native to Baal started kicking their butts. Now that I would like to see. We might get a scorpion cavalry you never know!

GrunTeufel Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 :-O Can you imagine it!? Lol I certainly can. Only thing is, the scorpions will get absorbed eventually and then we will have turbocharged tyranid scorpions of doom making planetfall in about a month.

That said, they wouldn't be the only arm of the Imperium to rely on something alien. We have Jokaero weaponsmiths, and don't the Tallarn ride on giant lizard-camel things? But I just don't see it for the Blood Angels.

Does that make them xeno... There are no wolves on Fenris. It's so weird to be talking about Space Wolves on this thread... you know, I almost played Space Wolves. If my mother hadn't been abusively controlling, I would have probably started 40k with my high school buddies back in '97-'98, and I was torn between Space Wolves and Ulthwé Eldar, but leaning towards the Wolves when I finally realized that it was never going to happen...

Guest pandion40 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 A thought has occurred to me about this campaign. Baal is a radiation blasted desert world yes? Why would the tyranids want anything to do with it? Unless they are only after the other worlds.Baal is one of the harshest death worlds in the imperium. I'd imagine the DNA of such creatures as the giant scorpion and the baalite thirst water would be of interest to the nids. Quality over quantity so to speak. I'd laugh my arse off if the nids landed and had their arses kicked by the local wildlife.

sockwithaticket Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I'd laugh my arse off if the nids landed and had their arses kicked by the local wildlife. Is Baal the planetary equivalent of Australia?
