Adding 250 points to list

[KrakenGenesi]

Hi guys,

this is my 500 point army:

HQ:
Tervigon ST, CS, Cat

Troops:
warriors x3 Deathspitters, BStrangler
Genestealers x5 Brood Lord, (ST)
Ripper Swarm x3

Elite:
Zoanthrope

498

To push it to 750 I was going to add a Dakkafex and another Zoanthrope.

Is this a good idea? or would you recommend more troops?

<------new to gaming so any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Edd

I am aware that my model count is quite low at 500 points. so at 750 would a dakkafex and extra zoan work? or would a whole mess of gaunts be better?

750 point nidzilla will either destroy or be destroyed with no issues, base on what army you are against.

I wouldn't say your additions are bad for what it looks like your going for. The only thing I have issues with is what your going for

Going from 500 - to 750 (then potentially higher and higher as I get more models).
Is it not possible to start building a list with a view to having a balanced 2500 at the end.
What would you add to my 500 point list to make it better at 750?

I would suggest buffing your Genestealer unit adding 2 or 3 more just to make it more of a punch, if not at 750pts then definitely at 1000pts. I prefer Trygon over a Carnifex in almost all situations, and would get a lot of anti-tank fire off your Tervigon. Adding a few gaunts to make your Tervigon a troop choice can be a good idea as he is one of our most durable troop choices. If you go that route adding a Warrior prime will fill your HQ and buff your warriors quite a bit.
So enough rambling there's a few ways you can go...

#1 Warrior Prime 110pts
Lash whip, Bone sword, Devourer, TS

Zoanthrope 60pts

Gaunts 14x 70pts

#2 +3 Genestealers to your unit (i cant tell if your genestealers have ST or just your broodlord, if its just him then put TS on the trygon)

Trygon 200pts

#3 Your DevilFex and Zoanthrope (is NOT that bad).

So i hope i gave you some ideas to think over.

Excellent thanks!
Just the sort of answer I was after

Gives me a nice target to work towards!

I will work towards this and have practice games in my lgs - will learn how to play as i go along I guess

I will probably be back looking at tactics section no doubt though for Trygon.
