Problem with Nids is that you never know what you will get. That\'s the reason why space marines usually get their asses kicked in tournies: everyone knows what to expect and builds their armies to defeat space marines, as they are so common and have little variation. Nid stats vary widely, they can have lots of soft targets, hidden troops, be focused on speed, armor, melee or shooting and have experts for any task if you want. thus a nid player always has an advantage, as he can tweak his army a lot and since the point costs are relatively low there\'s lots of wriggle room. And a dedicated anti-nid build sucks against almost any other army.

A well played Nid army is very scary. However, it seems most starting players use Ultra-smurfs. Not that there\'s anything wrong with that......

It\'s just you never see any real variation in such armies. However, something like IG is harder to play, but you can set up a wide variety of strategies (and vary the number of Baneblades you have :P)

Just sharing my opinion (not that anyone cares.....)

WAAGH

Chaos? Powerful?

Pfffffff!

Your 'great' Abadon the Despoiler is trapped in the Eye of Terror by the Imperial Guard. The Cadians no less.

Also, what do you call a lasgun with a laser sight?

TWIN-LINKED! ;P

Angry men with red flashlights FTW (IG and cultists)

I\'m not sure to take that as an insult (Being and Imperial Guard) or a compliment! You\'re implying us guards are weak!

I play IG, so it\'s a compliment?

IG are pretty strong, but the stats for the lasgun SUCK! >:(

Don\'t get me started on the Hot-shot lasgun (3 AP but only 3 Strength? WTF?! >:()

It was mainly meant as an insult to the Unholy Heretics. You know, the crazies wielding the power of the Chaos gods yet trapped in a reverse space wedgie by a single planet of Guardsmen/women (although they are Cadians......)
