I am putting together a Apoc game for Feb 3rd. The general idea would be to break the game into 2 stages. - Stage 1 is before lunch and would continue through the first turn after lunch. In stage 1 the largest unit allowed would be a knight or its army equivalent. Big guns come out around 3PM.
- In addition to the primary table there will also be two artillery parks, 1.5 foot by 2 foot tables that are positioned above the board giving full vision and range to the battle. To counter them flyers can leave the board and arrive there and there will be space for deep strikes with reduced min ranges. This should allow for the game to not just become a titan slug fest.
We would start setup around 9AM and look to throw dice at 1030. Tables get set up the night before and help with that is also nice. |

You always need more than 1 Eric. So I'm also in.
(I can bring lots of marines or lots of nids).

Does a heirodule count as the Tyranid version of a Knight?

I think the dules are nid knights and the hierophant is the titan

I'd be totes down for a Nid side (I think I'm at 5-6k full box now? Would have to check).
Dan - the question is more "What qualifies as a 'small' Lord of War?" - I actually don't know the full stats of a Knight for reference (or points/PL, or whatever qualifier we're looking to use?)

Id assume it's under 600 points? Knights are 450-550. Heirodules are like 440.

Mind you, I don't actually have a 'dule (only the 'phant), but I kinda always wanted to convert one from a Tervigon/T-fex chassis... I'm way more a fan of the sloopy-bug look rather than the 'chunk of mortar' feel that I get from the scythed/barbie.
Maybe this will get me to finally start painting the Heirophant, though.... hmmmm

Depending on kid duties, yeah I'm in! Might have my knight porphyrion by then too, for someone to pilot, or to bring with Genestealer Cults
