First list since 6th edition

Hello Hive

So, it's been a while but have put this 2000 points list together. Appreciate things like the Tervigon are probably not the strongest but are in because I like them. Playing for fun rather than must win but all and any advice appreciated..!

Tervigon - crushing claws, adaptive biology

Winged Hive Tyrant - lash whip, bonesword


20 Termagants - fleshborers
20 Termagants - fleshborers
20 Hormagaunts
20 Gargoyles

6 Warriors - deathspitters, 2 venomcannons

Carnifex - talons, bioplasma
Carnifex - talons, bioplasma
Old One Eye

3 Zoanthropes
3 Zoanthropes

Maleceptor

Exocrine


Exactly 2000 points. Was wondering whether to go claws or talons on the Carnifexs and Tervigon? And whether to not buy the Exocrine and go for another 20 Termagants to hang out with the Tervigon? Love the look of a swarm on the table. Appreciate any thoughts.

Hi

If you are playing Invasion Fleet detachment (and you should) this list looks ok.
Warriors can have a Venom Cannon AND a Barbed Strangler per 3 in unit so 6 of them can get 2 VCs, 2 BSs and 2 DSs. BSs have better range than DSs.
Carnifexes with OOE are good with quad Deathspitters. Full rr’s with Sustained or Lethal hits are juicy.
Claws or Talons on Tervigon is irrelevant - she’s bad in melee either way.
If you want better performance - switch Flyrant for a Walkrant, Warriors and Hormagaunts for more Malceptors or Exocrines.

Thanks for the reply. And yes, invasion fleet. Models I already own are the Flyrant, Termagants, Gargoyles, Hormagaunts, Warriors, Tervigon and Old One Eye so the wallet says they have to be in the list! Will go for the Exocrine though rather than more Termagants.
