1750 Point Nidzilla List

Nick speaking,

I am always thinking about new fun lists to play and surprise my opponents with, so here we go with a Nidzilla themed list. It all came about when I got thinking about my three Mawloc models, they are all magnetised, but so far I have only ever used them as Mawlocs! So, with those thoughts in my head, I went ahead and made a list for three Trygons and lots of other MCs. I was limited to the models I actually own, but with using two detachments and Rippers for troops, I was able to get eight big gribblies into the list...

Nidzilla (v1) 1750pts

Primary Detachment

HQ
1 x Flyrant/Devourers (230)
1 x Flyrant/Devourers (230)

TROOPS
3 x Rippers (36)
3 x Rippers (36)

HEAVY
1 x Trygon Prime (230)
1 x Trygon Prime/Regeneration (260)
1 x Trygon (190)

Secondary Detachment

HQ
1 x Old One Eye (220)

TROOPS
3 x Rippers (36)
3 x Rippers (36)

HEAVY
1 x Carnifex (120)
1 x Carnifex (120)

1744 points

The plan will be to stick the three Trygons at the front with the Fexes behind them and push forward from the off, along with the Flyrants swooping forward on turn one. Basically charge and have fun, leaving the Rippers to reserve for objectives!

Tyranid Time #8

Nick speaking,

I am gradually wading through my Tyranid Challenege to paint my entire unpainted Tyranid force by the end of the year. This time I have completed my magnetised Trygon/Mawloc. This is my third Mawloc and I have to say, it is one of my most favourite minis of all time, I think it's awesome...

Trygon to Mawloc Conversion

Nick speaking,

In preparation for finishing my challenge to paint my unpainted Tyranid minis by the end of the year. I have managed to come up with a way to convert my totally glued together Trygon Prime, into and interchangeable Mawloc and Trygon! Sadly, I forgot to take any pictures of him before I started painting it, so here is a video I made over on my YouTube Channel, showing you the conversion in detail...

Tyranid Mawloc on the table

Nick speaking,

As many of you already know, I use two Mawlocs in my Tyranid armies quite a lot, but it always bugs me that I only have one of them painted! So guess what is next on my painting table? For some reason there has always been something else to paint, so I am feeling very happy to know that I am going to finally get it painted, and as usual it is fully magnetised, which I have a tutorial on here, if your interested.

Hopefully it will end up something like this...

Stinger 'T Nids' Battle Report

Nick speaking,

With my 'T Nids' potentially being the only 5th Edition list that would still work in 6th, I thought I would give it a go in this game against Blood Angels. I did make a few tweaks to the list as I can't see any point keeping Adrenal Glands on the Trygons anymore, there is now no initiative bonus with them and they have the smash ability anyway!

Tyranids Vs Grey knights 1750pts Battle Report

Nick speaking,

Time to get my newly painted Trygon and Doom of Malan'tai on the table against Grey Knights. This Annihilation game was very exciting to play in, I ended up being so many kill points down, the only way I was going to win was by tabling the Knights, but could I do it? If you want to find out more about Grey Knights and in particular, the Paladin build, then go and check out the posts over on Embolden 40k, and don't forget to press the follow button...
