You got to spread it out. All anti-infantry sucks, so does all anti-tank. For this reason Space Marines are normally good against a classic Nid army. With Nids you just have to spread it out, but it depends on unit choice. On an all tank army, you can shoot the big ones. It depends, nothing always works against nids.

I have never used them in an actual game. I don't own any. They are however, first on my Tyranid buy list. (third overall, after Planetstrike and Assault Marines.)

lol. I hate the Assualt Marines. Their damn pistols. They jump in out of nowhere, fire off a volley, and THEN assault you with a large number of those chain swords. So uncool. Wiped a unit of 12 Fire Warriors clean off the board.

Could that be why i want them? No. Couldn't have anything to do with it.
Or in Planetstrike they can deepstrike, shoot you up with Plasma Pistols and then assault you? No, that couldn't be it either. Why would I want those guys anyway? :?

Because sarcasm is so original :)

Original? Who cares if it isn't original? You are just as dead when the assault phase starts!

Ah, but being original about it is SO much cooler. And much less likely to piss people off.

Good point. I should give them Assault cannon! Maybe put jump Packs on Terminators! And Cyclone missile Launchers!
Wait, thats original, but I have a feeling it is actually MORE likely to piss people off...

lol. Depends on the extent of the originality. If you can make them LAUGH as you slaughter them off, it tends to reduce stress levels. Thus why BrikWars is so popular.

Unfortunatley some people will cry when there first ork Boy dies, or a rhino explodes, then will quit. I hate it when people do that. But hopefully you will laugh when my Land RaiderCrusader and a squad of terminators inside, all 10 with assault cannons, wipes out 30 fire warriors. Would you laugh then? Even if you don't, I think I will laugh enough for both of us.

Fine. I love how much this thread is derailed, despite being somewhat related to the original discussion. Plus, this thread is 4 pages long, although only a day or two old.

We win like that. Plus, you and I are both pretty much constantly on the forums anyway...
