You don't really have an option to outflank the tervigon as you have no other synapse.

You could mess with your troops enough to fit in a artillery node as another option.

[gigasnail]

remember all the flyrants have dominion, and you don't have to move them the full 24" every time (and in a list like this, you don't want to because your flyrants will be out there unsupported for return fire).

[Kwodd]

I've been hit hard in tourneys where my reserves didn't arrive early enough to get in the fight and the round ends. In a full game I'm still a big fan of outflanking tervi but I think starting her on the board is a little more crucial for target saturation. Pulling her miasma and outflank also gave room for my second venom.

[FTGT-BeeCee]

if you wanted to squeeze another unit in there you could cut down your devo count on your termagants. otherwise, I like the outflanking tervigon. If she gets spawn happy you are looking at a 6W MC and like 30+ gaunts in your opponent's backfield.

I am running something with the same premise at Renegade in November. Let us know how you do!

[Kwodd]

I hear ya BeeCee, I'm torn on keeping 20 devs or ditching 5 for the second hive com. I'm excited to play this list even though it could really use the malanthropes I haven't finished. I'll update this with a bat rep.

Good luck

[thatguyoverthere]

I want to hear the results! I have three heirodules so I'd love for one to serve you well at the event.

[jaysic]

Show us the results!

[shadowfinder]

I know he some luck killing IK's with his LoW. But his last game was vs 3 IK with that formation that allowed re-roll to the ion shield. That game didn't go so well from what I heard. His game 1 and 2 he almost tabled the people he played. They had one Bike hiding at the end of the each game.

I loved his army colors and he gave me a great idea for converting heirodules.

From what I could see from the games. It did very well and was a force to be reckoned with. I will try to make one for my self to play with for next time. The tourney we went to is very IK heavy and the need for the heirodules is great I feel.

[Kwodd]

Sorry for the late follow up, first and foremost the heirodule was golden. It was a force to be reckoned with and only died in the 3rd round after the 3rd knight in the admantium lance formation got to him and rolled a 6 on his d results, promptly sawing the beast in half. This particular tourney was a real lesson in 7th meta for me. Modified maelstrom caused a draw first game, had to learn the hard way and that was that. He was a dark angels player with a real in depth knowledge of the game and tyranid codex.

I was ready for blood the second game against white scar/ knight combo. Looked like a really good army but he didn't know what to do when I plopped my 30 guant squad across the front line. He took the bait and tried to dispatch the blob. My non WL tyrant rolled warp blast and by 3rd turn I had a flyrant in his backfield on each side of his knight and the dule pounding on his front. Dropped a lance into the knight and rolled an explode to finish him off. The board was cleared pretty quickly after the knight died and that was my one win.

3rd game was the admantium lance opponent with thunder wolf allies, relic primary, hammer and anvil deployment. I started everything on the board and basically tried to kill him before he cornered me. I destroyed 2of the 3 knights and by that point the 3rd was hopping around stuffing the d in my babies.

What I learned this tourney was that knights are very real, very deadly and here to stay. The heirodule is phenomenal and very fun to play. His stomp was amazing and got me slay in game 1and 2, he is a permanent addition to my list whenever he is permitted. Outflank didn't really pan out first game with the tervigon and so the hive com wasn't used game 2or 3. The BAO FAQ in which spawned gaunts don't receive OS really put a damper on a major tool in my kit and that also hurt. The venoms did great but malanthropes would've done better.

Mugu was an awesome shop and I plan on attending more tournies out there. Great to meet you shadow and I'm sure we will meet again soon.
