A Lictor and a bunch of genestealers seems pretty fluffy for a kill team game. however, at that point we're just playing space hulk, amirite?!

I don't... See what the problem is?

One side has guns that denies armor saves for Genestealers and Lictors so they'll be taking break tests by Turn 2 as 5 base Genestealers is over a third of your 200 points. And due to KT force org you could take a single Lictor. So if you can fit it you'd have 11 models that can't return fire and will likely be dead before they get the chance to engage. Better hope the terrain is set up like Space Hulk with plenty of corners and LoS blocking terrain. Cause that's the only chance the Nids player would have and the Lictor will be taking Synapse checks at the start of every Nids turn. Due to KT rules he would just have to fail once and if he's falling back he's removed.

Why are you trying to bring nids to a 30k themed narrative KT game?

......and why aren't you playing in the "real" 40K 2000pt GT? It sounds like the game you been wanting to play.

Yeah. I don't even want to play space hulk now.

On that note, I'd rather play on the big board or the side missions. I've got Loyalists or Heretics... and a bunch of Xenos stuff I can bring.It doesn't matter to me. On a further side note, I can even bring my box of space hulk if someone wants to play that for side missions.

Edit:

Well, really I just want to go to have a good time and drink $2 beers at the table. I don't really care if it's KT or APOC as long as I can throw dice in a relaxed environment. I also don't particularly care about competitiveness in the narrative track. If you're looking to "win" at the narrative tables, you're signing up for the wrong event.

Winning in the narrative is making sure you and everyone else playing is having fun. sometimes you hafta charge let your Terminators get charged by Abaddon and crew and have an epic throw down. Sometimes you hafta throw a squad in front of a stompa just to get in the way and give the other guy something to shoot. And you're probably going to be picking up most, if not all, of your models.

So ya...I might just play nids, even though they are "terrible" - cause i'm going to have a great time.
