850p Tournament

[Cherubi]

Dear all,
The tournament up ahead will be 850 points, no doubles besides standard, max 1 flying.
5 Missions: Crusade, Purge the Alien, Cleanse and Control, Tactical Escalation, Control quater of Board for VP.
Pretty much all factions there. Very little LoS-Cover

My first guess is
1 Flyrant + TLDevourers + EGrubs
1 Venomthrope
2 Zoanthropes
3 Warriors with Rending Claws, 2 Devourers + Barbed Strangler
15 Hormagants
3 Rippers, deep strike
1 Dakkafex, TL Devoures
2 Biovores

I think about exchanging 15 gaunts & Rippers for 2x12 Hormagounts to shield the warriors as first squad and Dakkafex + Zoans on the other.

Any ideas or inputs from you guys?

Thanks and Best Regards,

[Jabberwocky]

By absorbers do you mean rippers? 3 without deepstrike seems a bit pointless.

That would be 1 Swarm of 3 deep striking rippers (Absorbers was a translation error from the german Absorber Schwarm)

In that case, keep them in :-)

Will be running another Testgame against GK this weekend with the updated list.
Warriors and Biovores were pretty disapointing in the first run, so I've exchanged those for an additional Fex and a bigger pack of Gants for Scoring/Bubble Wrapping the evil stuff.
If they are able to handle the MC's I'll run into trouble, but I hope they don't bring the tools to kill those easily.

1 Flyrant + TLDevourers + EGrubs
1 Venomthrope
2 Zoanthropes
2x12 Hormagants
1x3 Rippers, deep strike
1x2 Dakkafex, TL Devoures

I hope to go Lucky with the Strategic Table and Infiltrate my Fexes/Zoans within shooting range, joined by a Venomthrope or Gant-Wall.
