Barbed Hierodule

[valdrog]

Hello all, looking for a solid list so i can fit my new Barbed Hierodule, no idea how to fit the big girl in a list.

Thanks

3 Flyrants,
Malanthrope
VSG
30 Gants

1590, you'll need to fill a couple more troops slots but that's the core. Barbie's bigges threat is deep striking grav cents, the VSG will protect her from that, the Gants are to bubble wrap for 1st turn assaults and box deep strikers out of the VSG protection bubble.

Sporefield formation might be great along with the barbed heirodule for 2 reasons:

1 - You can infiltrate mines to threaten scary heavy weapons units like devastators / centurions. They either have to divert shooting or risk taking casualties. 

2 - You can use the mines to block other gargantuan creatures or super-heavy walkers from charging her. Because an Imperial Knight for some reason is unable to step over a spore mine . Just make sure they don't bog her down when you want to advance.



Skyshield landing pad is quite nice as well. Just place it about 24-36" from your furthest objectives and with a clear view of the battlefield and enjoy a 4+ invuln while she uses the dakka to mow down your enemies. The fortification is pretty cheap and quite tall, so she'll have a great view of the battlefield.
