I am playing in the Michigan GT in 5 weeks, and have decided to run my bugs. I initially planned on running my Sons of Russ, but a few wonky detachment rules made my list invalid. I'm not a WAAC player, and instead of running 3xKnights or Centurians in SW Pods, I'm dusting of the swarm! Here it is:
Hive Tyrant: twin-linked devourer with brainleech worms; twin-linked devourer with brainleech worms; wings; electroshock grubs 240
Hive Tyrant: twin-linked devourer with brainleech worms; twin-linked devourer with brainleech worms; wings; electroshock grubs 240
3 Ripper Swarms: Deep Strike 45
3 Ripper Swarms: Deep Strike 45
3 Ripper Swarms: Deep Strike 45
1 Lictor 50
1 Lictor 50
1 Venomthrope 45
Hive Crone 155
2 Biovores 80
Skyblight Formation
Hive Tyrant: twin-linked devourer with brainleech worms; twin-linked devourer with brainleech worms; wings; electroshock grubs 240
Hive Crone 155
Harpy: twin-linked heavy venom cannon 140
Harpy: twin-linked heavy venom cannon 140
10 Gargoyles 60
10 Gargoyles 60
10 Gargoyles 60
1,850 points
7 FMC will be rough. The Lictors are there for fluff, to guide in the Gargoyles, grab opponents objectives, and mess with Thunderfire cannons and other backfield objective holders. They have released the terrain pieces for the boards, and the biovores will be parked in my corner completely out of LoS so they won't get blown up being one of the few things on the board. Is there any reason to put them in one unit as opposed to two units of 1? Rippers will DS onto objectives, or hide on mine. There will be 5 games, 2 of which are a modified Maelstrom (discard unobtainable missions). Harpies have HVC since I'm bringing biovores. Venom is there pretty much for first turn only for a 2+ jink if I don't go first. Thoughts? I will be updating this thread after I play test!
