My friend is building a 'nid army in preperation for the new Codex. He's got around 40 stealers, a Broodlord, x3 Lictors and x2 Carnifexes backed up by Warriors and 'gaunts.
I've played against 'nids before but not with my current army. I seem to remember using templates and to keep moving.
The army I have includes (we play 1850 -2000pts):
x6 Assault Terminators in a LRC (led by a Chaplain)
An Ironclad with a heavy flamer and Drop pod
x7 Sternguard: Power fist, x2 Heavy Flamers, x2 Combi Meltas, Rhino
x10 Tac Marines: Plasma Pistol, Plasma Gun, Plasma Cannon, Rhino
x10 Tac Marines: Melta Gun, Multi Melta, Rhino
x2 Land Speeders: Heavy Flamer, Multi Melta
x1 Land Speeder Typhoon: Missile/Heavy Bolter
Vindicator: Extra armour
The general plan is to keep in the rhinos, drive by and flame where possible, using the Terminators to take on the Carnifexes.
Ideas, thoughts, suggestions would be appreciated. But bear in mind that I don't have many other models to select (I've a 'dakka pred, x6 Sniper scouts, a Terminator Librarian and another tac squad - sans rhino, left in the cabinet) and wouldn't really want to buy units to simply handle 'nids if at all possible.
Thanks in advance.
