I did 'nids for a time.... It really bugs me as to how they're being sold, actually. It's not a good deal at all.... Hormugaunts are awesme with two attacks and a 19"-24" possible charge range (fleet of claw adds +d6, 12" charge, 6" move). termagaunts are the exact same, except that have a s4 shooting attack with a 12" range. of course, if you GET to within 12" without being shot to hell, you'll WANT to be in combat so as they dont shoot you to hell in the next round. also, tell me which is better - two attacks hitting on (usually) 4's at s3 (3 attacks on the charge) for hormugants or one attack hitting on fours at s4 for temagaunts.... hormagaunts are better. plus, the fact that they have lower armor saves would lead you to wish to be in combat, where you wont have the entire army's guns, just one squad to deal with. anyways this is getting bit off topic. i dont like how gaunts are sold because you're technically paying for eight models which you probably won't even use. quick question: the red terror can only be used in 1500+ point games. Old one eye can only be used in MINUS 1500 point games. in a 1500 point game could you take both

@singthescreams: yes you can use both... i think- unless there is a FAQ somewhere. @darkangel: Stick with one ARMY! you have little enough cashflow as is. But if you insist, get the nid dex, all your Qs will be answered there. |

This is how it goes... Mom buys me Warhammer stuff Dad (and my very nice bro) buys me 40k stuff lol. My bro always gives me a little money! ![]() But I will use hornaguants and stufd turnaguants.. pardon my spelling. You just need correct tactica. |

personally, when it comes to termagaunts, IMO there IS no tactica. you can't screen because then your hormagaunts won't have as many charge options, and it's a waste of points. You can't shoot them at close range what they can't either shoot more or charge you instead. they have a slower charge than hormagaunts, and if they use fleet of claw they cant shoot, effectively making them 2/3 the speed or less of hormagaunts. again IMHO, unless you wish to do some bizzarre (and doomed) all-shooting nid army, termagaunts are a waste of points and money. It's not worth the money to order in enough arm sprues to convert them, either.... |

Guants are AWESOME! Never underestimate them. 20 of them can take out a squad of Imperial Guards, and a command unit... Beyond that, as a meat shield, they are excellent. Otherwise, load up on Genestealers. |

But Scream says that the tarmaguant suck.... and that the only good part of the Guant box is the Hormaguant so the box is a waste of money so I should just buy genesteelers acroding to Scream. |

Termaguants are good as well. Use them as a first wave. Have Hormagaunts right behind them, and the moment they all die (The Terms that is), destory the enemy with the jumpers. Additionally, Genestealers are good. But they are usually too slow to get to the battle (Only 6 inches a turn...) |

whoa, i never said gaunts were bad. i just meant to say i prefered hormagaunts over termagaunts, and i thin it;s a shame they make you buy both in the same box. Genestealers rock, but they should act as your second wave alongside your carnifexes and hive tyrants and other big nasties. gaunts gargoyles and raverners make up the first wave. |
