im starting up and i wanna play a bug army (cause there cool)
ive scene both starship trooper movies (mi eyes bleed on the 2nd one) and i saw the animated series wich i thought was alright but ya.
i wanna play a big horde so mi first buy will probly be the mega warrior swarm (18 bugs aint bad) and the rule book (that comes with another 20 bugs) but i wanna know wat other bug players out there use and wats good to add to these units, i wanna get lots of hoppers to :D anyway
cheers
 
think it has already been suggsted to get a tanker and they are very cool and idea for a bug army.
I'm a fan of hoppers over rippers, but either ones work well and allow you to hit hard into the enemy lines.
When I first started, I had 40 warriors and 3 hoppers, got hte tanker shortly latter.
have fun :)

PS welcome
 
Since you want hoppers anyways, its good to know that they are a solid choice, and 38 warriors is a great start!

Get 2-3 boxes of Hoppers...

Tankers can be great! But you may want to consider a Brain Bug as well, as having one in your army is pretty much standard.
 
wat about cliff mites?? i bought mi firt blister of em today and i thought they look pretty cool (not many bugs that arnt) but since i wanted a swarm i was thinkin
loads of warriors
1x brain
9x hoppers
20x cliff mites
etc the horde goes on :P
 
I play 'the cloud' and thus most times I don't field a single Warrior.
My regular list comprises of Ripplers (including variants) and hoppers only, with sometimes two Overseers and two Controll Bugs (to keep the Overseers in reserve until the Ripplers arrived) in addition.

For a horde Warriors are always good, add a (thorny) tanker or better two (tunneled).
Hoppers are a solid choice though I prefer Ripplers - they are more effective against medium & light infantry and can stay airborne while they attack.

Brains are also good, in fact one of the ugliest army lists consists of two Brains pushing forward a massive Warrior-only horde.
 
It's all good depending on what tactic you're choosing.

I'm a Brain, Warrior, Tiger Warrior, Hopper kind of guy. Riplers and Tankers are fun. I also like Infiltrators and Mantis Hunters or Assasins. But I'm also a completionist, so I've got a lot more stuff. Buy it all. Guess I'm no help. :lol:
