Got invited to a local tourney this weekend and wouldn't mind some input on the bugs I will be bringing. I haven't touched the game since 5th edition (I have some catching up to do.)
1993 points
HQ:
Prime; Bonesword and Lashwhip, Scything Talons
Prime; Scything Talons, Deathspitter
ELITE:
Hive Guard x2
Ymgar Genestealers x7
Doom of Malan'tai; Mycetic Spore
TROOPS:
Tervigon; Crushing Claws, Adrenal Gland, Toxin Sacs, Onslaught
Termagants x15; Devourer, Mycetic Spore
Hormagaunts x25; Toxin Sacs
Genestealers x5; Broodlord; Scything Talons, Toxin Sacs
FAST ATTACK:
Gargoyle x10; Adrenal Gland, Toxin Sac
Sky-slasher x5; Spinefist
Shrike x3; Scything Talons, Bonesword and Lashwhip, Toxin Sac
HEAVY:
Trygon; Prime, Toxin Sac
Biovore x3
First draft of the list so far. I don't have any tyrants or i'd take one of those.
The current 'plan' is to utilize the flying units to distract/tie-up the front lines of whatever i'm facing to give the main ground force time to move up. I don't have many flyers though. Those FA choices are literally my only flying option at the moment.
The Biovores would hang back and lay down artillery fire on any of the more bulky infantry groups I might run into. The Trygon would either walk the table or come in from reserves, again depending on the situation. Probably throw him at the enemies heaviest hitter.
The melee prime will the running the field attached to the hormy swarm, with the Tervigon bringing up the rear.
So to sum up.... I don't really have a 'plan'... I'm just going to throw all my bugs at whoever I fight and hope they go "nom nom nom"
I can probably drop the genestealers, i'd just need to figure out what to replace them with. I don't have much.
So like I said, first time i've touched this stuff since 5th edition, so i'm not entirely in-the-know on what to expect from my opponents.
And before i'm asked, no I do not know what i'll be facing. Apparently there are some people from the city coming in for the tourney so i'm going in blind. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.
