Dakka Dakka Spam Spam Spam 2000pts Unbound

[skymango]

I'm entering an event in a couple of weeks which is allowing any kind of list, with a restriction of allowing only one Lord of War.

I thought I'd take an Unbound list and had the following in mind:

2000pts

Dakka Flyrant

I've had great success with all these units so thought why not spam in single units for even greater success. With this list I've got 14 warp charge points, 72 T/L Str.6 shots, 4 large blast barrages and plenty of synapse.

I plan to have four self-reliant mega units, each comprising a dakkafex, zoanthrope, biovore and a shield of gargoyles. Three of these units will also have a Venomthrope to add useful cover. The spare zoanthrope will float around in the middle somewhere, ready to cover synapse duties where needed. The hive crone is there for AA duties or to act as a distraction unit. One flyrant will cover each flank.

I normally start with everything on the table on Turn 1, ensuring that each Venomthrope also covers a flyer, ideally behind cover.

Are there any obvious weaknesses with this list that I have missed?

Why would you want so many Zoanthrope? Why only 2 HT?

I only have two flyrants and don't have my wife's permission to buy any more at the moment.

I love zoanthropes. They have synapse and a large number can provide some great buffing spells (catalyst & onslaught) and maledictions (paroxysm & horror) in the early couple of rounds before getting within range with Warp Blast. Later in the game they can save you making IB tests by extending their synapse with Dominion. They have great mobility as they can run after casting psychic powers and I've also had them tie up something nasty in combat for a couple of rounds with their 3++. In all, they are an excellent utility unit and are very versatile, so I'm more than happy to run a large number of them.

I like the idea of it, sounds pretty Nasty....and the crone will be great for the aa. I like the idea of grouping things together like you did, getting the best of everything and giving them a cover save. Looks awesome
