Book Your Hotel Rooms - Block Closes Tomorrow; Plus ...

We extended the room block date range already, and we won't be able to do it again.

We've crushed our numbers this year, and the block is both nearly full and nearly out of time.

I just had  a few staff members even comment that they should probably book their hotel rooms at some point, and I have to reiterate to the slackers out there - if you wait until tomorrow night to try and book, you'll have to pay full Hyatt rates for the Labor Day Weekend of 109+

So, book today or tomorrow and stop slacking:
Pay $85/night (and yes, the NOVA gets room night credit, hooray!)

Book tomorrow night or after:
Pay $109+/night (and the NOVA still gets room night credit hooray!)

Save yourself $25/night please, like everything I'm only belaboring it to make life and travel happier on ya'll


In other news, I'll be posting up some thoughts on Psychic Choir Nids this week ... why I think they're good, why they still do well with the right list against Runes of Warding and Runic Staves, and why people who say Tyranid are bad make me sadface. They're dramatically improved (even against flyer spam armies, mech spam armies, etc.)!

That list, and this should kick in some negative nancy responses (maybe?) =

Swarmlord - 280
Parasite of Mortrex - 160

3 Zoanthropes - 180

26 Gargoyles - 156

Input / commentary guessing at how exactly it's used, why it's good, and why it's even good against lists toting runes of warding / runic staves ... most welcome :)

  1. I liked your version with the parasite better. Changes to fearless rules means that rippers can actually do stuff useful now and it helps the gargoyls crack tough nuts.

  2. I like it !

    Some questions if you don't mind me asking:

    A) Are fortifications worth using in your opinion? Especially things like skyshield for the 4++ on the big TMCs.

    B) If you don't mind me asking how would you cut this down to 1850? I'm tempted to drop a unit of gargoyles or a tervigon but its a tough call.

    C) How do you deal with runes of warding? That crap just makes me sad.

  3. Haven't you found Swarmy a bit easy to kill without any guard?

    1. He gets Iron Arm almost always, and then I buff him with friendly units using Endurance and Telekine Dome. He is then extraordinarily hard to kill.

  4. Personally i would take out 1 of the Adrenal glands for a toxin sacs and take out 8 Gargoyles for 3 more Tervigon psychic powers. But I'm by no means excellent (2 wins and 4 losses in the tourney) but i have great success with 3 biomancy powers on each tervigon.
