1850 Competitive attempt

Hello all, Kenji here looking for comments on a list I have been running lately. I am hoping to run it in a tourney at my FLGS. It has DE allies in it for the psyker bomb (Thanks Core)

Flyrant- dual dakka, e-grubs

Yup, Psykers within 3d6 inches take an LD test and if they fail they are removed from play, my meta is somewhat heavy with them. Combining that with shadow in the warp has awesome effects lol

[gigasnail]

yeah that's pretty ugly lol. let us know how it works out.

How has it worked for you so far? How are you applying the rules for brotherhoods of psykers?

Its pretty brutal, for brotherhoods we just remove the justicar. I use it to mainly hunt high point psykers so the squads are just gravy, farseers and librarians are much higher on my list^_^

Well after a few games the number of psykers has dropped dramatically! A daemon player conceded on 2 from me gutting the summoning core of his army. I was thinking of running this as well but I'm not sure which one would be more effective:

1850-Solo bugs

Flyrant-dakka e grub-240

Venom-45
Venom-45

Rippers-Deep strike-45
Warriors-BS-100


Skyblight-977
-Flyrant, 2XHarpy, Crone, 3X13 Gargoyles-AG

Living artillery-390
Exocrine, 3 warriors-BS, 3 Biovores


So I'm basically trading the DE, some Gargoyles, and a flyrant for LOTS of pinning blasts (4 at S4, 2 at S6, 1 at S7)
Vehicles have diminished at my FLGS since the beginning of 6th and haven't totally made a resurgence in 7th, I'm a bit nervous about the AT ability of this new list but I have only Theory-crafted it, the list hasn't seen live play YET.
As usual Hive I'm looking to make our beloved bugs even more feared^_^

Any list with both Skyblight and Living Artillery should always do well

You could add in a malenthrope unless you have plans for both venoms. This would probably let you switch to two rippers instead of warriors for a total saving of 60 points.
