The tactic is actually to "hope" I pop the deamons rather quickly, to keep the objects behind me secure, while the rest of the army moves into position to attack and conquer.
Lord with raptors.

For the tactics i would try to engage in close combat as quick as i can. Have the guants and termaguants engage in close combat and provide any needed heavy support with the carnifex and zoanthropes. The warriors and tyrant guard will make there way to the enemy and provide fire support or engage in close combat.

I've got to go with Chaos because unless the nids can wipe them off the board it won't be easy to regain the kill points they lost because of their small or weak units.

[ArchonFarseerGuy]

I initially was going to vote Nids, out of their superior numbers and troop choices, but then I realised how Bolter-prone the gaunts are, which will come into play once the 'Stealers are bombed by those battle cannons.

After that, the power fists/meltas should be able to bring down the big things, giving the Sons of Simon Magus the win.

Remember this is capture and control not annihilation. :act-up:

I think the nids will win by virtue of keeping the chaos player on the back foot. I don't see the chaos army getting close to the nid objective.

[Slim21]

I think the Nids are going to win because they have more troops and they will be able to take over more adjectives.

[Slares]

The nids have numbers in the troop category yes how ever those troops are very squishy went bolters start rapid firing and the battle cannons on the defiler will make thos genestealer vanish. Im going to go with Chaos

D'oh well the chaos have superior troops so my vote stands.

[danjones87]

I agree with the above posts, the marines should make short work of the nids weak units.

Dan

[Warlord Zaktoznaz]

The nids will be able to cover and stall the chaos player and still have a good chance to take the chaos objektive. The amount of fire power the nid player have is quite amazing and that will help them too.

My vote goes to the nid player.
