Help with my HQ options..

[Sinny!]

Hi Guys I dont want to change my troops choices just trying to decide what hq options would be better..

So here is my army list so far..

TROOPS

6 Tervigons
and
6 x 10 Gaunts

Now here are the 3 hq options I am considering

OPTION 1

4 Tervigons
All have extra Psychic powers and 1 has crushing claws

OPTION 2

2 Tyrants
both have wings and 2x twin-linked Devourers

1 Tervigon
crushing claws and extra psychic powers

OPTION 3

Swarmlord
2 Guard with lash whips

2 Tervigon

Im leaning more towards the all tervigon list or possibly swarmlord.
I like the Tyrants but besides gaining average anti flier abilities it seems i am losing up to 10 T6 wounds and the ability to spawn more gaunts..

Any other ideas?

I mostly vs chaos with no fliers except 1 flying Prince..

I dont really see the Swarmlord as that handy, sure he will smash a Prince but so will a billion gaunts LOL! only thing i benefiet from him seems to be some more anti tank.



Otherwise I could go 3 basic Tervigon for hq then add in a Tyrannofex which honestly I dont know how well they do, they look bretty bad on paper

Well... I think you have Tervigons plenty covered with your troops choices.... I'd go for dakka flyrants persionally. Even if your opponent isn't spamming flyers, it is good to be able to cross the board quickly and deposit pain on their doorstep. Also you can outflank a tervigon and that is always fun ;-)

the other thing I am considering is hive guard,
I can still take 4 standard tervigons as hq and fit in 2 hive guard or go 3 tervigons and 5 hive guard..
at least this way I will get some anti tank shooting and hopefully one of the tervigons roll enfeeble that way my hive guard can instakill those pesky daemon princes

The Swarmlord isn't just the most powerful close combat model in the game, he also acts as a force multiplier, giving you 18 inch synapse, 2 psychic powers per turn, preferred enemy or furious charge to a nearby unit (including his own) and +1 to your reserves. And once you give him some bodyguards he's a really difficult warlord to kill compared to a flyrant. For your list as it is though you wouldn't really benefit from that, so I'd recommend taking the flying hive tyrants, While Tervigons are great the versatility of your list suffers when you max them out.
