Cancon fast approaches and I'm madly painting. Some of my list choice comes to what I have painted and I am lacking in the rippers and biovores department but I have lots of other choices. Just want to theory hammer some of this out:
Kraken Battalion
Flyrant HVC, Boneswords adrenals
Swarmy
19 stealers
30 devilgaunts
3 rippers
Trygon Prime with adrenals
15 gargoyles with adrenals (to try to keep swarmy engaged in cc by stopping enemy withdraw)
Egg
Kronos battalion
Neurothrope
Neurothrope
Rippers
Rippers
4 warriors with death spitters (extra synapse and backfield protection)
5 hive guard
Double taps with either devilgaunts and/or hive guard, caustic blood ok the devil gaunts and a kitted out flyrant who can shoot and do cc damage should chew through my CP doing max damage. I can choose whether to deploy stealers or swarmy in the egg depending on terrain (if there is good LOS blocking terrain for swarmy I could hide him to drop the stealers and auto charge. It's not a huge number of drops for a nid army at least, and the gargoyles give me a good chance of keeping swarmy in combat when I alpha strike him. I did consider dropping the flyrant for old one eye who is excellent at shredding T8 and remarkably tough to bring down. Kronos of course gives me psyched defence also.
Thoughts?
