1500 gantish GSC list. CC plz

[royalecheez]

GSC Auxiliary detachment x2--

Primus
20x genestealer

Nids battalion--

Malanthrope
Tervigon
15 devilgants 10 fleshborer gants(with tervigon)
15 devilgants 10 fleshborer gants(with tervigon)
20 devilgants 5 fleshborer gants (come in with trygon prime)
Harpy Heavy VC
Trygon prime adrenal glands

Total 1497

I know it's only 4 cp but more like 5 because of the one I get back for re rolling ambush with the primus. I feel like the tervigon and friends can control a lot of real estate and help prevent deep strike/hold objectives/be a pain in the ass due to malanthrope with them. Included the harpy because I face IG flyers a lot. If not I would probably shuffle some things to get an exocrine in there. Let me know why you guys think!!

Would you not be better off putting the GSC into a vanguard detatchment rather than auxiliaries, and splitting the two PS squads into 3 slightly smaller ones? You would gain 3 command points, one of which you could use to reroll the CA result for the 3rd squad.

Problem is splitting them into 3 smaller squads is then it's 2 units of 5 and 1 unit of 10 which I don't think has the combat impact of a single unit of 20 mainly due to the smaller units not having flurry and the larger one losing flurry with the loss of only 1 model. Which is a pretty significant source of damage for them.

Not to mention genestealers are still somewhat fragile. I don't see 5 man genestealer units good for anything except giving up first blood.

[No One]

I think he just misinterpreted as 2x20 man (i.e. 40 total, totally able to be split into 3). List isn't bad - could maybe do with some tweaking on gaunt numbers/load outs? Also would be a bit concerned about the harpy being focused by the flyers its supposed to counter...not sure how that'd pan out.

Yeah I saw auxiliary detatchment x2 and assumed you were taking 2 of that detatchment, totally agree that anything less than 10 stealers in a unit is pointless, I question this myself every time I see that in a battle report.

Out of interest, what is that x2 for?

One for the primus one for the stealers. Trying to denote 2 separate aux detachments.

Ah ok I see.

Ya I was already leaning towards replacing it with exocrine. I feel like it's a better fit being able to sit back with tervigon core and malanthrope. Any suggestions on tweaks for the gants?

[royalecheez]

With the exocrine it looks something more like this

Primus
20x genestealers

Malanthrope
Tervigon
15x devilgants 5x fleshborer
15x devilgants 5x fleshborer
20x devilgants
Exocrine
Trygon prime
