2k reallysorry list

[reallysorry]

HQ's:
2x Flyrants 2xTL Devs / OA / Regen

Elite:
2x3 Hive Guards
DoM / Spore Cluster Spines

Troops:
2x19 Devilgants / Spores Cluster Spines
2x Tervigons AG/TS/CC/ Catalyst / Onslaught

Not sure if DoM or 3x Zoans would work best and i was tempted to use Barbed Stranglers on the pods also.
Only 3 units in reserve so i guess Hive Commander is not a necessity and i took 2x OA which is awesome with Devilgants!

The cluster spines on the spores are going to scatter and in cases where they land on your gaunts you could be out a lot of points quickly. Also the spore has to attack the nearest target which can easily get close to your gaunts small 2" deployment radius.

Other than that I don't see anything. Overall I think it would be a decent list...especially against someone not ready to handle the two flyrants. Horde armies would also have a lot to deal with in a list like this...

[reallysorry]

Well I thought of Twin-linked Deathspitters also but Mycetic Spore being BS 2 hitting on 5's with rerolls, 3 shots in total, is not going to do a huge deal of damage.
On the other hand Cluster Spines would be a boost versus infantry so I'm happy taking the risk.

Shoot with the gaunts first though.... just to be safe.

Your list runs my 3 favorite units in 6th, the flyrant, the tervigon, and devilgaunts. I can't argue with that

My luck has been rather.... lacking when I use DoM. Unless your greatly attached to him (or you play vs horde armies a lot), I'd recommend dropping down to 3 HG in one brood, dropping doom, and getting some zoans in there. You also have enough to double your FOC if you want to further split up units.

[reallysorry]

I've had DoM in the past kill 3 units of Blood Angels (5 model each) or something like 2 Daemon Princes and a unit of Havocs.
I know if I'd be facing something like the Scythe Spam DoM wouldn't be able to do much but I've never had the Zoans do much either. They get one round of psy attacks on the same target and sometimes get to use their powers twice until a unit charges them and they're pretty much dead.
As for double FoC nobody uses the double FoC rules around here so that's not a choice for me.

concerning the pod with TL DS:
BS2 is meh, but they are still great when you're up against enemy FMC's as you need 6's to hit anyway, provoking lots of grounded tests with your pods is vital - but if you won't face any FMC I would spare the points

@zoans: I used them with mind shriek against chaosdemons but they did NOTHING, and their codex abilities... well, I'm not a big fan of these guys but I may have used them wrong up to now
maybe better to walk them up near a tervigon and use their psy for BUFF spells and not for offensive purposes, so it depends on how you want to use them in your list

[reallysorry]

I have 3 psy powers on each Tervi for buffs kai 2 on each Tyrant so I don't think I'm lacking psybuffing powers...

[hellhammer]

then I would leave them out

[reallysorry]

I thought of the Zoanthropes for the extra AP1 lance shots...

[killme304]

The lance is still the best way to deal with heavy vehicles we have (without charging a MC into them). If I see landraiders, I don't roll powers on my zoan, just because its that much easier to get rid of it.

[drummerboy]

Yea, I think in todays game having something that can get up to S10 AP1 is very beneficial. It's really one of two options we have for ranged av14 support. I guess you could technically wait on your MC's to pound on a land raider, but that certainly doesn't help you not get shot. Another downside to this is that you will most likely get charged by something nasty (in teh case of land raiders) that will be at full force. If you pop the land raider, the terminators (or whatever it is...) walk to you and you can gaunt them to death.

I think for 60 pts with their versatility, the zoanthropes are a strong unit. You can always steer away from the stock powers last minute and really adjust to your opponent without list tailoring or doing anything "cheezy". This is just my opinion of course.

[reallysorry]

Ofc I understand their versatility it's just a case of whether or not the 3rd Elite slot in the list would be better off with Zoanthropes instead of DoM and I'm leaning towards the DoM at the moment.

[reallysorry]

Just an update I've won with this list : CSM , CSM + Daemons (3 different setups) , Blood Angels (mostly infantry) , Orks (one setup with trucks and one with infantry,bikes and lootaz) , Nids 2xHarpies+3xTervigons+2Flyrants. I have something like 8-0 with it and I'm planning a game vs SW next
