In answer to Paul's question,my drop pods were the star performer in my first game with them, dropping in early on Turn 2 next to an objective (gotta love that Hive Mind targeting control) and disgorging the Tyranid Warriors straight into the thick of it...the Ripper Tentacles on top had a field day hacking into any Guardsmen that strayed too close...
The second pod dropped in on turn 4 and unloaded 15 screaming Termagaunts armed with 3-shot Devourers right into the thick of it....the Ripper Tentacles on the pod managed to tear a hole in the nearby Imperial Guard Hellhound , stunning the crew for a turn (well, you would be)...sadly it felt the full force of nearly every IG Lasgun the following turn, and collapsed in on itself, huge holes torn through it..
Will be a few more weeks before their next encounter during which time I might even paint them......any tips on what colour the ooze should be? My base colour for the pods is dark red....

Nice one mate! Massed flashlights are nothing to sneeze at eh? :-)
ReplyDeleteI reckon a nice pussy yellow would contrast well with the red base colour.
