* Mawloc


So basically the Prime will team up with the Devilgaunts and out flank with hive commander to deliver a side assault and keep the enemy busy while the Mawloc provides a bit of paranoid confusion while the falls gets laid down

Thoughts ?

You have a lot of support in there and only one flyrant at 2k. I'm not a fan of the out flanking prime and gaunts but some folks like it. It's just a lot of S4 and still dies hard to blasts. No need for 3 single zoanthropes. Malanthrope is best in slot there. Tervs can do ok backed up with a shrouded cover save, but realize you're paying through the nose for troops when everything already scores.

I am definitely experementing with different things at the moment and I take your advice well thanks

Mix some fleshborers into the guant squad to eat up enemy fire.

^ What he said. 10 x fleshboreres and 20 x Devoureres are a good split as I can garuntee that at LEAST 10 will die before they get in pewpew range.
