Nice list! Shame you don't have malanthropes instead of venomthropes.

[blackswarm]

It's the next thing on my list tbh. I have proxyd them before but I prefer venomthropes as you can hide them behind units etc. I want to make them work as they are a nice looking model. I think once I have one ill use them more

[jimmyp]

Yeah malanthropes are harder to hide out of view. With the barbed hierodule it's a lord of war so you can only have one is that right? Can you use it in normal games?
Have you had a lot of success with your tervigon I have not used one myself it seems like a lot of points for it's purpose

[blackswarm]

Yeh you can use him in normal games. I love using tervigons! Free scoring units = win

[jimmyp]

ah ok cool yeah i might give a tervigon a go some time maybe proxy my tyrannofex as one and see how it goes. its a shame you do not have enough points to put on elecroshock grubs on the other flyrant or tervigon for those high armour tanks etc

[blackswarm]

Tbh tanks haven't been an issue with this list as of yet. I came up against 3LR last week and made light work of it lol.
Defo try tervigons mate! Stick with them though. I have 80% success rate with them. Even if they spawn out, you still have a 6w MC with OS sat on and objective oh yeh, never take them as a hq choice, you'll only be disappointed :/

[jimmyp]

Wow 3 LRs! What did you use? Carnifexs??

[blackswarm]

A mix of shooting barbiedule, electro flyrant and combat fexing

[blackswarm]

Oh and a smashing tervigon lol

[jimmyp]

lol cool mate

Hiding venoms is great, until you have to move them, face anything with SMS, or hiveguard, or face mobile firepower. Malanthrope is very, very good and much more durable.

Do you not value the E grubs enough to drop a couple devourers from the termagants to put them on the other Flyrant or even the Terv?

I have thought about it tbh, but until I start struggling to deal with tanks I'm just gunna keep it the same for now. The only thing I struggle with is LR but the past couple of games they haven't been an issue. 90% of tanks I just out manoeuvre them with flyrants or blast them off the face of the battle field with barbiedule
