Kronos and Kraken

[harleyxjguy]

Made this list for the last battle of our basement escalation league.

I know I would not want to play against it.

80 models all up in your business first turn while the Hive Guard and Exocrine rain death down on you from the back field.

All the while stupid hard to kill Distraction Dakka Flyrant shoots, psychic damage and charges your ranged stuff to tie it up.

Feels pretty dirty to me.

Any ideas how to fill myy last few points? It is a 2k game.

[No One]

Probably drop some stuff from the gaunts for a kronos biovore, just for a spore mine wherever for the strat. Also, toxin sacs on a dakkaflyrant? Umm...If you want the option to melee something, just take adrenal to help the charge go off.

20:10 devs on a footslogging unit feels risky to me, thought the other infantry threats does make it more relevant.

Similarly, you've got only a single stealer unit and a single exo (as sole starting MC) on the board: I'd be worried about them getting alpha struck off the board T1 for no contribution. Consider swapping the horms for another stealer unit: the 6" pile in isn't needed, 3" is usually enough, especially if you've got more ability to kill things to make consolidate (or overrun shenanigans) easier.
