Pretty in Pink Nids escalation League Army

[wh33lz]

In a few weeks I will be entering an escalation league at my local flgs. The league starts at 500 points and climbs another 500 every 4 weeks till reaching 2000 points. I did not want to start a new army but wanted to stay in spirit with the event. So I decided to utilize only units I have yet to model or use. This is my list for the first 500pts. Progress pics to follow. As well as update of next 500pts.

Hq:
Tervigon with catalyst

Elites:
Lictor

Troops:
10 termagants

10 hormagaunts

5 genestealers

More bodies. Not sure how well the lictor will work. Get more taunts.

Only real men play with pink armies :P

More bodies? He has quite a few with the horm/gaunt units. Don't forget the fact that the tervigon will be pumping out more?

I would swap out the lictor for a hive guard, personally. You'll be encountering some light transports, and they need poppin'.

I've been thinking of doing a Necron army in pink, I'm curious to see how your 'nids turn out, though I think it may look better on them...

I agree with Merkmon. Are there any restrictions beyond points? At 500 you could encounter vindicators or a russ.

I think you should try to find a way to squeeze in some hive guard, man. There's a pretty good chance you'll run into some vehicles and the genestealers can't eat all of them.

#1. I have hive guard and I am playing this "list" with models I have not played/use in my other "normal" 2500 list...
#2. I am planning on using the lictor later in the higher point games for the teleport homer :)
#3. I'm a girl bro pink is awesome :)

Suggestions are awesome though!! I see the issue in the being able to kill transports... any other suggestions besides Guards/Zoeys

[Charybdis]

This army can only be...

Fabulous.

[Dragonlv8]

This has quite a lot of potential. Go for it!

I have seen this done. It was the "Nightclubber" instead of the Nightbringer. The "Manolith" instead of the Monolith. All done with boas and glitter. Very disturbing.

that all sounds verey...terrifying.
did the troops have leather ***-less chaps?

The Pink Tendril approach-eth! Looks like you'll have fun painting up those beasties. I would have thought a white base coat would work better for pink, but I'm not any kind of a decent painter myself, so there's that...

[wh33lz]

yea i tried with the white paint but the skin *warlock purple* looked better with the black underneath.. i only do one coat.. then i drybrush heavy with a light pink... then wash with red... it looks killer IMO...

[Hokiecow]

You should do a scheme similar to Phil's but pink instead of yellow http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m2310040a_large4.jpg That way you can pump out an army really fast.

I'm liking the pink nids. They just look so... fleshy.


This escalation league wouldn't happen to be in Indianapolis... would it? If so, I'm the tournament organizer.

[wh33lz]

TY! Nope Colorado heh :)

[Neb08]

You could check out some pink horror tutorials out there to get a good idea of how to speed through some of the gaunts and still have em look nice! gl

last saturday I played my first game.. 500 pt list.. played grey knights... he had 2 rhino chassys filled with 10 death cult assasins and 5 grey knights... and a special char i cant remember!... i did change my list a little.. i took out the termagants and put in one hivegaurd.. i got super lucky with termagant rolls.. 1st i rolled a 13.. next a 14.. next a 13.. without any doubles! he finally killed my tervagon... but my gene stealers wrecked everything and took the objective with my lictor...

finally i started painting my army this week.. this is what ive gotten done so far... (the camera i took it with makes everything look kinda shiney.. and it is not lol)... so.. i got the tervagon and genestealers painted....
