1500 point list idea

[andrewrox96]

Hey I am wondering how this list would fare. It has answers to fliers, some answers to armour and infantry.

Flyrant with 2 TL Devs with BL
Flyrant with 2 TL Devs with BL


Malanthrope x1
Malanthrope x1
Zoanthrope x2

Termagaunts x30
Tervigon

Hormagants with toxin sacs x20

Dakkafex x1
Dakkafex x1


I also have a decent number of warp charge points 6+D6.

C&C please!

Flyrants: check
Dakkafexes: check
Malanthropes: check

plenty of gaunts/gants for bubble wrap.
Tervigons are pretty decent, certainly tough to shift with ObSec.
Looks decent, possibly a bit too much heavy lifting on the Flyrants/Dakkafexes. I like that your actually using Hormagaunts to do some killing but I have a soft spot for them and I think for pure competitiveness you are probably better off with Gargoyles, shrikes or a Hive Crone.

I am kind of just using stuff I have aside form the second flyrant and malanthropes and I needed something in the list that can take down big MC's and I didnt feel like using a toxicrene is this list even though I am buying one.

[sneggy]

Since its a straight swap, I personally would prefer the Toxicrene. If for no other reason than it confuses the target priority.

20 gaunts get gunned down pretty easily(even with shrouding). A big shrouded MC takes some proper focus fire. Which is focus fire your Flyrants and Dakkafexes should be taking.

Ooh never thought of it like that, my only concern with cthulu is he can be bogged down by blob squads, no?

[sneggy]

6 attacks at ini6 and wounding on 2+'s? he's going to chew up most blobs fairly fast. Unless its someone elses gaunts or ork boys the unit likely numbers around 10.....wouldnt take long to chew through. He can always toxic miasma as well for extra chaff killing.

[andrewrox96]

I forgot he had that woah. 6 mc's, 7 synapse creatures, seems like a solid list dropping tgants for toxicrene.

[sneggy]

Gotta drop the hormagaunts for the Toxicrene not the termagants. Termagants are making your tervigon troops, lists illegal without them.
But yeh, welcome to Nidzilla, its fun. Make as many godzilla/alien/starship troopers references as possible.

[andrewrox96]

Whoops I meant hgants not t's. Ive played nidzilla before but it wasnever as strong as it is now (not counting 4th ed)

[sneggy]

I did think it might have been a typo but thought it would be worth mentioning just in case.

Looking forward to hearing how the list does.

[andrewrox96]

I will when I eventually play it. I will need to proxy the malanthropes for a little bit.
