1850 pressure list attempt

[Silegy]

So... Ive been envisioning something like this in my mind for some time. The impulses for this were:

a) My discussion about Hormagaunts with coredump

b) The release of Dimachaeron



I know this list is currently not the best option of ours, I just wanted to make a pressure list (just as I love tempo decks in HearthStone, I love pressure in 40k) and I was wondering if something like this would work.



Double CAD



HQ

Flyrant, Dakka, Egrubs x3



Elite

Malanthrope x2



Troops

16x Hormagaunts, AG

16x Hormagaunts, AG

15x Hormagaunts, AG



Elite

4x Shrikes, AG, TS, Flesh Hooks, ScyTals, RC



Heavy Support

Dakkafex, dakka, AG

Mawloc x2







So... This list has only one Carnifex. Aka I am not too happy, but I just dont see room for him.

Big thanks to coredump, jaysic, gigasnail and all of you guys :-)


EDIT: Devourers, no brainfartfists, of course.

Where are the Dimas and the 2nd cad? I assume you mean self ally with the 3 troops.

Also why bother with spinefists on shrikes? Losing an attack for a gun when you could just shoot your flesh hooks anyway...

a) Do I really need to write down the 1 Flyrant and one gaunt pack separately? I thought its fairly obvious...
b) There is no Dima, why would there be?
c) Eh, I wanted to say Devourers, not Spinefists. I guess my brain was full of some.. Spiny fisting...  Two questions though: 1) is the trade really worth it?  b) I get an extra attack for RC+SC? I never remember which edition is which for this

Sucks you can't take your LOW, but I'm kinda feeling your new list. Good to see the gaunts being used, good list for them too

[almostmercury]

Jab is right. You've got it set up as 1 CAD and 1 Self-ally. If you need to have 2 CADs, then you need 4th troop choice (you only have three).

Read your original post, first few lines. You said the release of the Dima drove you to try the list but aren't using it.

Double CAD is different to self ally and they really aren't interchangeable. Different regions will use different rules.

The shrikes are spending a lot of points on combat upgrades so should have 2 combat weapons to gain the extra attack. The flesh hooks already give you pseudo-devourers without stopping you taking the scything Talons which also save you some points.

Besides your fly rants the only synapse you have can be bufued by small arms fire.

[gigasnail]

Malanthrope has synapse as well. You have any idea how much small arms fire it takes to kill 3 flyrants?

[jaysic]

I'd run 1 group of horms with ag. One with ts, one naked. Also I'd swap the Devourers for SC on the shrikes

[Silegy]

Jabberwocky Well, the release of big, fast looking CC monster inspired me, not his rules Pornstars "inspire" me too, but I dont have sex with them



Ill take your advice guys and swap the Devs for ScyTals =)

[Silegy]

(please do not swear) this list, I can deepstrike OPyrovores now!

Just a quick note - if you go msecond those flyers are quite vulnerable - easy to mlose one/two turn one. This is why I use skyshield or bastion.

I thought this is why people use terrain
Anyway, I feel like SSLP is just bad option for our army and bastion... meh, maybe for the... what you cal it... well, Venomthrope in a bastion. And Im not that keen on that either.
