Hi all,

Come on people! First game tomorrow! Input greatly appreciated.

Maybe 2+/2+ rerollable is too much? Better take a Trygon instead of a Morgon? Old Advisory on the Tyrant?

[ragnarok]

If you take Old Adversary on the tyrant, try to find the points to upgrade your guard’s scything talons. OA already allows the reroll of 1s to hit.

Lash whips are cheaper, but Bonesword gives the brood 4 S6 and 6 S5 attacks that ignore terminator armour.

I am worried about the killing power of the list. You are spending a lot of points on strong units, but you don’t have that many claws on the ground (never trust spawning to help you).

The tyrant and guard and two ymgarl units will kill what they attack, but the rest wont.

Tervigons lack the killiness.
Doom will be annoying then IDed.
Termagants are just bullet shields.
Devilgaunts will demolish one unit then die.

The Mawloc could be useful, never used one.

[hellhammer]

tervigons lack the killiness only if they are as measly equipped as the OP did
crushing claws on them seems to be the way to go nowadays or was the smash+crushing claws thing already errated?

[Jabberwocky]

Mawloc seems a bit pointless, especially his TS. What is he looking to fight?

I'd swap that out for something else, maybe raveners. OA would certainly be nice on the Tyrant but then I'd also want more combat upgrades on the Guard and Tervs.

Tervigons should be run with Crushing Claws as standard now IMO; they are already going last in combat most of the time and they really help with Smash attacks.

Thanks for your help, just one Game in 6th Edition and I know I need to reconstruct the list. Your comments are a good help for me!
