What you know bout' Bigbug?

So this is my current Tyranid build for 2000 pts...

Hive Tyrant w/ 2*Talons, Adrenal Glands, Leech Essence, Paroxysm
2*Tyrant Guard
2*Zoanthropes w/ Pod 160
2*Hive Guard 100
8*Ygmarls 184
10*Termagaunts 50
10*Termagaunts 50
Tervigon w/ Cluster Spines 160
Tervigon w/ Cluster Spines 160
5*Genestealers, Broodlord w/ Scythes 118
5*Genestealers, Broodlord w/ Scythes 118
Trygon 200
Trygon 200
Trygon 200

I really feel this list is a re-envisioning of the old 4th ed. Big Bug list. The biggest reason is the scoring monstrous creatures, and their ability to create more scoring units. But also, in keeping with 5th ed. being more BADASS, I have made sure they are all 6 wound monstrous creatures. The exception to this being the Broodlords, who really are almost monstrous creatures themselves. It really sucks in KP games...

Bloodsnakes of Khorne

This unit should be a fun addition to the Daemons. I wanted to use some Fiends, but I didn't like the metal guys (plus these ones are a lot cheaper). I thought about converting some sort of blades onto them, but really like the aesthetic of the original models, so just gave them a red job and called it done...

Methalor: The Unconventional IG

So I have had a huge problem finding an IG army list I like to play since the new book came out. The thing is, with the old book, I used to field a whole lot of Last Chancers. It was a very elite Guard army. The same thing isn't really possible with the new book. So I figured the thing to do would be just to fully embrace my theme. I field a Penal World force, so Penal Legions squads all the way. Just have to put in enough support to help them out. Here is the list, which I think should be alot of fun... the Command Squad w/ Yarrick ride in the Valk....

Yarrick 185
Company Command w/ 2*Meltas, Power Fist, Plasma Pistol, Melta Bombs 100
Storm Troopers*5 w/ Meltas*2 105
6*Penal Legion Squad 480
2*Banewolves w/ heavy flamer 260
2*Banewolves w/ heavy flamer 260
Valkyrie w/ Rocket Pods 130
Demolisher 165

What Flavor of Baals Do You Like?

So my Lamenter army lists usually have a hefty set of Baals to get the job done. I have almost always gone with my trusty Flamestorm version, but when playing against meched up lists they are almost useless. The Assault Cannon option, though the same strength, greatly benefits from multiple shots and rending against vehicles.
I definitely did not want to take out both Flamestorms so went with the compromise of 1 and 1. I'm not sure this is the way to go. By splitting the difference am I making my army less effective then going full on one way or another? I'm not sure yet, but since I got that beasty above done, I'll be getting some tests in shortly.

1850 Lamenters for Area 51 RTT

So the same weekend Goatboy and Darkwynn (and Brent, didn't forget about you) are going to Da Boyz GT there is an RTT in Grapevine, Tx. A bunch of us Austin folks are heading up there, probably about 20 of 50 available spots will be our crew, so that should be cool. This army is a variation of what I have been playing lately. The combination of the Chapter Banner, Sanguinor, and Reclusiarch on the Sanguinary Guard makes them pretty bad ass. I have some decent scoring elements plus lots of support coming from my Fast and Heavy slots. It has played pretty well so far, getting plenty of practice is key though...

HQ: The Sanguinor (1#, 275 pts)

HQ: Reclusiarch (1#, 155 pts)
Jump Pack

Elite: Chaplain (1#, 100 pts)

Elite: Sanguinary Guard (5#, 250 pts)
