I'm sorry... I can't stand looking at the old nids... well mainly the warriors and the carnifex (excuse me, screamer killer). I see those models and almost want to puke. Paint job I like cuz it's highly distracting, keeps your eyes looking around so you can't focus on any specific unit.
i just started this game..i bought battle for macragge.... and im thinking about using the nids it came with, and adding about 20 gaunts, about 15 more genestealers and about 10 gargoyles, and 2 tyrant guards.... but thatll take me a while..and a lot of money...does anybody think thats a good idea?
@aapch1 Take if from a nid player that has been at nids for about 3-4 years now. Don't expect to get the entire job done with just the small guys. With the meta game leaning towards mech these days, you need either some shooting potential to kill tanks before you go in for the assault or some big guys to weather the fire after the tanks are popped or you will charge your stealers in, pop a tank and watch them get gunned down b4 killing the models inside.
@aapch1 not that I have anything against luring new players into 40K, but if you don't have alot of money to spend on models, you should either look at a MEQ army or look at Warmachine. You can get a pretty deacent sized warmachine army for $200-300 where as a 40K army at 1500pts is usually $500+ these days, unless you use just the battleforce models which don't tend to make armies that competitive unless you are playing as marines.
People stop being mean. Sure the old nids look bad and you're a bum if you don't have the new nids and you're a lazy hobo to paint and pay for it and you can't afford for crap and you fail at life cause you have a low pay job and suck at life and you can't support your family so you use the old nids like a bum and you are gay. But the fact is that these nids are ugly but you can still the game! :D
Been watching your battle reports and those of your gaming buddies I guess?
Firstly great job, they are all nice quality and consistent for entertainment/tactical study (maybe not the slideshow type like this one as much) but anyway. I wanted to know particularly how long you've been playing? was eldar your first army? Do you have any others besides them and BA? whats the best club/bunker you've been to? and what is the name of this song/what group is it by?
im pretty sure WayofSaimHann is an Eldar army builder, those tyranids are wierd looking, but i highly doubt their his. What are those tyranids anyways, are they from the like 2nd or 3rd edition because ive nevr seen them b4.
Not a fan of the particular song, but not everything Warhammer related has to be full on, windmill hair swinging heavy metal. Imo, it's kind of cliche at this point. :P
Why doesn't that Tyranid player own a single model that's up-to-date? That's just wrong. I couldn't even play if my opponent had that ugliness out there.
agrred that they look bad but maybe the person is going through a tough time economically, like a lot of us are, and doesn't have the money to re-furnish his army but would still like to enjoy the great game of warhammer 40k. You should give that consideration.
take into consideration how old this vid is 2008 so the economy wasnt nearly as bad as it is now so he could've afforded it just saying : P some like the old models hey whos to judge he is playing a game not in a painting compatition where you ask for people to judge your models but ive seen alot worse ive seen people prime white put a diferent wash on models and say its done yea just one wash hideous i know ( mind some spelling i am sure i made a few errors lol)
You do realize that using alot of Fritz's strategies, the eldar are almost unbeatable. 5th Edition is perfect for them, and with the right talent guiding them....its a nightmare.
woot nice to see another hive fleet that hasent abandend the old genes :=) i have alot of those old gaunts,warriors,carnifex etc in my army as well :=) after spending all those hours (and sanity points) painting them there is no way i will let them be forgotten
UseVisine, yes Jawaballs is the Blood Angels player I play against in my blog and a good friend. I got him into 40K and he has really come a long way in playing and painting in such a short time. He was my padawan, but is now quite the master.
I'm sure you have checked out his painting space marine series and we are both working on a video series on how to play 40K 5th edition and a video of a game played between his Blood Angels and my Saim-Hann.
That would be so awesome! Especially since I while I was deciding on what army to play, (although I favored SM's more) I really only considered the versatile SM's or the specialist Eldar. But after careful consideration, just decided to go with versatility. Eldar are just too unforgiving to beginners (according to what I've read).
Hmmm, padawan huh? Well I guess you're partially to thank for his painting vids.=)
Good luck on those vids! For sure they will be appreciated.
Old school Lictors > New ones. The only thing that i really like the looks of is the New Hive Tyrant. Its bigger....i always thought the old tyrants should TOWER over everything because lets face it they ( in the old text Idk about the new ) lumber over Carnifexs so yeah go new tyrants!
Im only familiar with the PC version of war hammer, but I can tell that you have to be very rich or at least a patient collector that you have all those figures lol.

That would be so awesome! Especially since I while I was deciding on what army to play, (although I favored SM's more) I really only considered the versatile SM's or the specialist Eldar.
