Goatboy’s Warhammer 40K: I Like Big Bugs and I Cannot Lie!
I won’t lie – I love Tyranid big bugs. But let’s make something scary that ISN’T Crusher Stampede – whose days may be numbered…
Today I want to write up a Nidzilla list that isn’t Crusher Stampede because we don’t know what is going to happen to that army of Renown (hint, hint). This means I want to just use the new NID book to create my monster army. The fun thing is I will make sure to keep it built in a way to fit the Army of Renown builds just in case it ends up being viable for that type of army. Let’s get he Big Bug party started!

Stomping To Victory
This is a pretty simple list with 9 Screamer Killers to bring back the old feelings of 40k mixed with enough back up to keep them going. The plan is to add stuff to a unit of Screamer Killers and send them barreling in to cause some massive damage. I figured with this many big bugs there is no way you can escape. The table is only so big, and the chunky boys are fast enough. I am sure you have some friends with a ton of the old Metal ones too so you can rebase and send them onto the battlefield ready to do the good work of the Hive Mind.
~Looking forward to our new Big Bug overlords!
