vs Flyers

[Mystery.Shadow]

We play many large games. Some of them Apocalypse. Problem some armies have difficulty, or even NO way of taking care of Flyers.

What does a Tyranid do vs Flyers?

Worse yet,

A Chaos Daemon Army....

How do you deal with that? Or, do you have any suggestions (House Rules?) which may work?

[Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer]

I guess I'd house-rule some units to be able to attack flyers in close-combat. Gargoyles and Screamers, perhaps? Still, gargoyles wouldn't be too much use, maybe give Biovores AA for free? That'd give them more of a reason to be taken.

Allies!

IIRC flyers can be assaulted by jump infantry, Flyrants, daemon princes or either of the flying greater daemons would be my choice. They both also have some guns, nids have venom cannons and devourers (if you can get close enough) and tzeentch daemons can be quite shooty. Yes, niether is a perfect solution but flyers generally have low armour values anyway.

Having said that, you could just ignore the flyers and chomp on something else?
