Me vs Tyranids... Have I mentioned how much I HATE Tyranids. It's just a bad matchup for me. I need to kill like 10-15 of them for every 1 of my models that go down. Then when your planes get lost on the way and don't show up till Turn 4. It's not going to be your day. Lots of things didn't go my way this day, and me not being very good didn't help me much either. If I had to pick an MVP, it would be the terminators. They were beasts when it came to making those 2+ armor saves and killing bugs. LVP were the pilots of the storm talons. Once they finally arrived they were doing damage, but I needed them another turn or so earlier to have made any significant difference.
As much as it pains me to say it, I think from now on when I play the standard Psychic Chorus style Tyranid list, I need to play with a tie in mind. I think if I just hang back and pray to survive I'd do better than my usual "kill em all" style. (Once an Ogre player, always an Ogre player) I'm really trying to remind myself that 40k is my play for fun game, and Fantasy is where I become a competitive asshole, but that side of me is always there.

Yeah that's right. 4 Flyers and 2 TFC. I know there are def flaws in this list. Bikes are prob not the BEST troop choice for this list, but I did throw in another unit of scouts and increased their sizes to 6. This meant buying more scouts.
Thank god for Bitzbarn. I know I've went on and on about how much I love them so I'll spare you that rant again. My bitz arrived in the mail yesterday and before the end of the night, I had assembled, primed and did some painting.
I wanted to make the Scout Sergeant different looking that the rest of the squad, and I've found these Bretonian bowmen bodies.
Just something to make them look a little different. I might decide on something else down the road, maybe something that looks a little more native americany but for not it'll do... plus it was like 50 cents for the whole body.
The yellow facepaint didn't really photograph well.
