Redtoof Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Hello! I thought I’d make a new topic for my Battle Reports now they are over on a blog, so that you don’t have to trawl through loads of image-less Battle Reports to get to the new stuff. In addition feel free to add links to your own Tyranid Reports here, or ones you have seen and liked on the internet. That’d be cool. Anyway, I recently played a game, Tyranids against Chaos Marines and Renegade Knights, using the Open War deck for a change, it was pretty fun. https://redtoof.blogspot.com/2018/08/battle-report-tyranids-vs-chaos-marines.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtoof Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 We had another games with the Open War deck, again my Tyranids against the Chaos Marines, but no knights this time. The special rules and deployment for this one seemed kind of crazy but it turned out to be a very close game. https://redtoof.blogspot.com/2018/08/battle-report-tyranids-vs-chaos-space.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azekai Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Always enjoy reading your writeups, Redtoof. The pics/armies are easy on the eyes, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are Verlo Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Thanks for taking the time to post the reports. I like your style of battlereps. They have the perfect level of detail and at the same time they present the flow of the battle as well as your (and opponent’s) thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, this is exactly what I go for, focus on the interesting stuff and be too lazy to write about the rest. :D Anyway, this one isn’t a report yet, just a preview for a game that I won’t need to write about... https://redtoof.blogspot.com/2018/09/hive-fleet-goliath-prepare-for-winters.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtoof Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 So I’ve played a couple of games with the Tyranids (and allied Genestealer Cults) since the site went down. Firstly a regular classic report against John and his Emperor’s Children: https://redtoof.blogspot.com/2018/10/battle-report-tyranids-and-genestealer.html Secondly, I went to be filmed in another video Battle Report, this time with SorcererDave. He mainly does let’s play videos, but he has recently started filming some narrative focused games of 40k. I previewed our game here: https://redtoof.blogspot.com/2018/09/what-kind-of-sorcery-is-this.html and then posted a link to and minimal comments on the game here: https://redtoof.blogspot.com/2018/09/video-battle-report-with-sorcererdave.html. Finally, I’m expecting the game with Winters to hit YouTube on Sunday. So I’m pretty excited for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtoof Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 My battle with Winters SEO is live! I talk a bit about it, and link it here: https://redtoof.blogspot.com/2018/10/video-battle-report-with-winters-seo.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clingy Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Duuuude. Just randomly clicked on YouTube and heard winters mention “Redtoof” thought hmm I wonder if that’s our very own b&c hero....it must be. And lo and behold it is. Right, back to watching your match but brilliant mate. Good to see you on the channel. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont-Be-Haten Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 played a 2,000 point game against Thousand sons today. Was a pretty good game. We ended up in a tie 9 to 9. But had we gone to turn 7 I would've tabled my opponent. His Renegade knight had 1 wound left and he had three rubric marines.I had just spawned 2 spores, I had 3 biovores and 9 gaunts and a malanthrope left.My opponent had20 Tzangors20 Cultists 2 Daemon Princes of Tzeentch with wings and claws6 Rubric MarinesAhrimanMagnusQuad-Las predRenegade Knight with dual avenger gatling cannons and an icarus las cannonI had2 Flyrants with Devourers and Monstrous Rending Claws1 Flyrant with Death Spitter and Monstrous Rending Claws1 Swarm Lord2 Neurothropes 1 Malanthrope 1 Exocrine 3 Biovores1 Hive Crone40 termagaunts in 4 squads1 squad of ravagers 1 squad of warriors with devourers and a venom cannonIt was a very good game.

The Malanthrope survivor is a pretty consistent theme for me, was he the warlord? Yeah he was. Shout out MVP though is the lone Gribbly, "Termaguant Frances." He stuck a 5+ to hit Magnus, and a solid 6 to wound and Magnus failed his last save with a 1. I cant stress how scary the horror can be for us. And the Nuerothropes are fast becoming a favorite for late use smites. Being able to re-roll 1s is clutch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont-Be-Haten Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Played 2 games with Nids this past weekend. 1st in Open War against Death Guard. Drew a crazy Map with no boarder, Acid Rain, and had to burn 3 objectives. Having a Daemon prince and Morty on one flank and 2 Bloat drones in your face on turn 1 is brutal. I should have lost, but my opponent charged a biovore thinking he would still be in range of the last objective but was outside of an inch. I had to kill 20 pox walkers to burn my final objective. It was so close I was 2 wounds saved from losing! Second game was a bit of a let down. We were playing Maelstrom's 1st mission. It was an extremely strong IG gun line. However; Kraken was so horrifyingly fast and did so much damage. That my opponent conceded after the first turn. Which was very unfortunate because I really wanted to see what would happen in later rounds. Take aways; Kraken Swarmlord is my current favorite model. It does rely on onslaught going off, but he is absolutely devastating when it does. The Horror is an absolute amazing spell. And it should always be taken on your Neurothropes. -1 to hits and -1 leadership is amazing. Being able to stack onto of Chameleonic Mutation, Spore Cysts, and Malanthrope bubbles is crucial to keeping the gribblies going. 2CP for +1 Cover is still useless and overcosted. After 2 more games of it either being ignored or spent to only block 2 extra Pathogenic Slime Exocrine shots on a plasma executioner, which still took it to the 2nd bracket isn't worth it. Honestly, Open Wars twist cards do such an amazing job with its boon deck that it really makes you wish some of that was incorporated into the main game. Also Metabolic Overload on Ripper Swarms is clutch when combined with Swarm Lord's ability to move in the shooting phase. Having a 36" movement to cap line breaker and an objective with ObSec is really great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
