2k Dakka Spore Fun

[nazaradine]

Here’s some dirty cheeky fun for hive mind approval.

Been playing with list ideas and come up with this. 2k pts on the nose with no less than four detachments, for a total of 10cp. All Jormungandr (although I did play with the idea of Kronos but want the cover save, plus I want the biovores to miss!)

Battalion Det
Flyrant with twin Devourers x2, heightened senses, Catalyst, The Horror.
Neurothrope w/Norn Crown
4x Ripper Swarms
22x Termagants w/devourers
22x Termagants w/devourers
6x Hive Guard w/Impaler Cannons

Outrider Detachment
Neurothrope
Mucolid Spores
Raveners x3
Raveners x3

Fortification Detachment
Sporocyst

Spearhead Detachment
Neurothrope
3x Biovores
2x Tyrannofex with Rupture Cannons.

So the idea is pretty simple. The Spearhead sits at the back with the T-fexes plugging away while the biovores ping spores everywhere to act as roadblocks to prevent charges/deepstrike, etc and dish out some mortal wounds. The ripper swarms and Mucolid Spores do the same job - speed bumps and board control. The Raveners drop off the Gants for that sweet, sweet 132 s4 shots (or 198 with single-minded annihilation) while the hive guard just hide and kill. Drop the sporocyst in the opponents’ back field/mid table for yet more speed bumps/mortal wounds (think that this can still happen turn 1?) The hive tyrant just does what he does. Oh and I dropped the norn crown on a neurothrope to stop the Gants going crazy if the Flyrant isn’t close. All the while the Neurothropes are smiting and screaming away happily.

So - frustrate the opponent with spores and speed bumps everywhere, preventing charges/deepstrikers, while the Gants (who can act as objective grabbers), Hive Guard, Tyrant and T-fexes murder everything from range. Sounds pretty fun to me. What say you?

Jormungandr is a good choice that +1 cover real good

Termagants w/devourers they are a glas cannon you know that right? your opponent only has to kill 50% and the rest die from moral checks.

Norn Crown is not going to change that . only having 1 synaps creature to support them is a big risk. and you can only bring them turn 2 now days so they dont shine so good any more.


if you want to have fun deep strike 6 Hive Guard with shock guns and tap them twice you will take down tanks with mortal wounds alone no they will not last long but will change the target prio off your opponent

you can put one of the neurothropes in the tunnels with the gaunts cant you? (for 1 more cp)

22x Termagants w/devourers
22x Termagants w/devourers
Raveners x3
Raveners x3

so yes you can but you would lose out on deep strike an other unit. it you deep strike a trygon yes you can deep strike 2 units with jorm but ravengers only get 1 unit

Raveners can take multiple units in the tunnel if you keep paying the cp.
