1200 point tervigon tangle

[royalecheez]

Just tossing about a few ideas for smaller point lists on my way to a larger one so all CC is appreciated.

Broodlord
Tervigon

20x genestealers
30x termagants (10x devourer 20x flesh borer)
Ripper swarm

Trygon prime
Tyrannocyte

Tyrannocyte pods in genestealers And adds forward fire support. Brood lord comes up with trygon to ensure they are at least in his 6" to hit bubble. Tervigon and gants spread out and just try to cover as much ground as possible to try and stop reserves and maybe sit on an objective or 2. Was also considering shifting some things around to make room for a malanthrope. Let me know what ya think please!!

How can you guarantee t1 charge with genestealers in a tcyte?

They disembark like they would from a transport just 9 inches from enemy models. This would lead me to believe that they could still move shoot and act normally just like any other unit that disembarks from a transport. No?

I see the rules as stating that the unit is essentially deepstriking as they disembark at "the end of your movement phase."

Hmm ya I was reading the rules off of BattleScribe and they are worded differently. You are right. Thanks for that.

Of course man! That's what these threads are for!

I love the use of the Tervigon, regardless of the size of the game. For smaller games, keep in mind that people are no where near as equipped to handle swarm lists and can easily find themselves overrun. I wouldn't bother with the Trygon or the T-cyte, letting the Genestealers and their Broodlord foot it across the table, while adding in another brood of 30 Gants as well as either 30 Hormagaunts or Gargoyles. The Broodlord will be rushing up to provide Synapse for the Stealers, Hormies, and Gargoyles, while the Tervigon also marches up with her 60 babies in tow. The Stealers can easily handle any vehicle brought along while the rest can simply mob down and tie up the rest. Remember, if you throw enough dice at something, eventually they will roll poorly. I'd also think about changing the balance to 15 and 15, devourers to fleshborers. Just from the two units of Gants alone you're laying down 90 shots from devourers and 30 from the fleshborers. That will create about 12 dead MEQs, while it doesn't seem like much, that is about 170 points, over 10% of the army before you even get into assault or shoot anything else.
