Tournament 1850 list with LoW

[arnestig]

Hello fellow hiveminds,

I'm deciding between two lists to bring to a tournament which allows the use of Barbed Hierodule, but I can't decide on what to bring.
Here are the two lists I'm thinking of.

List 1:
3x flyrants with double devourer + e-grubs
3x 10 termagants
1x venomthrope
1x Barbed Hierodule
1x Living Artillery Node (Biovore brood, tyranid warrior brood, exocrine)

10 points left to spare.

List 2:
2x flyrants with double devourer + e-grubs
2x 10 termagants
1x venomthrope
1x Barbed Hierodule
1x Living Artillery Node (Biovore brood, tyranid warrior brood, exocrine)
2x Mawloc

10 points left to spare.


What do you think? Is having two mawlocs for that double tapping S6 AP2 blast worth loosing 10 cheap troops and a flyrant?

What are the Army creation rules for the tourney? No limits on Detachments and self ally? I haven't heard of tourneys like that, so I'm curious.

I generally like the LAN, but I'm not sure if, with the Hierodule, it's not limiting you a bit too much. Also, the Warriors are your only Synapse that will be hugging your mobile castle and holding it together. If you could find the points to replace the venom with a Malanthrope I think that would definitely help out.

The dule is great especially if he has a venom tag along, and don't forget his fnp. If there are no d weaps on the table be aggressive with him to get those stomps out.

If you swap the gaunts for DS rippers, it lightens you need for synapse quite a bit.

List 1 needs another troops choice for second CAD for the third Flyrant.

Unless they allow self ally....

but good to double check.
