1k Jormungandr for returning player

[b0b0lyne]

I recently got back into 40k after a long absence and I'm really digging 8e 'nids so I dug up my old models and I'm in the process of repainting them. I've tried to create a list that uses as many of my old models as I can so I can minimise the number of new ones I need to get. I was hoping I could get some advice before I go ahead and pick some more models up!

Hive fleet Jormungandr



-Spearhead detatchment

--Hive Tyrant--188points
---Monstrous rending claws
---2 devourers with brain leech worms
---Wings
---Toxin sacs

--Trygon--168 points

--Biovore--36 points

--Biovore--36 points



-Patrol detatchment

--Broodlord--162 points

--20 Genestealers--240 points
---5 acid maws
---Rending claws+scything talons

--19 Hormagaunts--95 points

--3 Raveners--75 points
---Rending claws+scything talons

-----
1000 points exactly

The hormagaunts are there to fill out the points really, I'm not sure what to put there besides them right now. Maybe 3 more raveners?(4 if I can drop 5 points elsewhere on the list) That would mean having to pick up a few more and I'm not entirely sure how good they are anyway, I picked them more for fluffy reasons than competitive.

If I were to use the deep striking capabilities of this army, it would mean I would most likely start the battle with only the biovores on the table, which might get them blasted away turn one. I'm not sure how effective of a stratergy that would be.

I'm not sure how this list would fare against certain army builds because I haven't had the chance to playtest it due to it being unfinished, so if there are any glaring weaknesses feel free to point them out!

hey there, welcome back. Playing is the best way to learn strenght and weakness of list. first thing : you have to start with 50% of your units on the board, so you cant start with just your biovores. since you probably want your flying hive tyrand, raveners and trygon with stealers in reserve the rest have to footslug. if you take 2x10 termys instead of the hormagaunts you can start with those 2 on board, and your biovores then you need 1 more to get the broodlord also in reserve (I guess you want that to keep up with stealers.) so get 1 unit of rippers for that. to pay for that use the extra points you saved on horms and drop 2 genestealers. leaves you with 6 points so get adrenal glands on hive tyrant.

your list would look like this (tried to leave as much intact as possible :

Hive fleet Jormungandr



-Spearhead detatchment

--Hive Tyrant--193 points
---Monstrous rending claws
---2 devourers with brain leech worms
---Wings
---Toxin sacs, adrenal glands


-- ripper swarm--33 points

--Trygon--168 points

--Biovore--36 points

--Biovore--36 points



-Patrol detatchment

--Broodlord--162 points

--18 Genestealers--216 points
---4 acid maws
---Rending claws+scything talons

--2x 10 termagaunts--80 points

--3 Raveners--75 points
---Rending claws+scything talons

999 points


now you use 5 units on board and 5 off.

hope it helps
