1500 pt list for review

[lostminds]

Stepping right into 6th edition with a tourneyment. This is what I came up with for my 1500 pt list. Is it doable... or too many tervigons?

HQ
Tyranid Prime : Lash whip & bonesword, deathspitter, regen

Elite
Hive Guard x3
Zoan x 2
Zoan x 2

Troops
Termagaunts x15
Termagaunts x15
Termagaunts x15
Tervigon : Adrenal Glands, Toxin Sacs, catalyst, Stinger
Tervigon : Adrenal Glands, Toxin Sacs, catalyst, Stinger
Tervigon : Adrenal Glands, Toxin Sacs, catalyst, Stinger

Heavy
Carnifex : 2x Twin linked Devourers
------
1500

My other thought was to remove one tervigon and change the Termagaunts to be 19 each, and add in a unit of 3 biovores. So what do you think?

If you drop a Tervi, definitely grab some Biovores but instead of bolstering your Termagant numbers get some Devourers on a brood. If you get 2 Biovores you can have a good brood of Devgaunts in a Spore

I am not very pro adrenal glands this edition. Dropping them and 2 gants goes you a spore for the fex. Adrenal glands this edition really don't mean much without the initiative, in my opinion, and the spore can really help with particular threats.

Then you could use the larger gant squads for extra wounds on the prime.

I you were trying to make a fex star, I don't think a single fex works anymore. Cover is on a model by model basis and they can jut focus fire the fex not in cover. Look out sir is only good with 2 fexen, giving then more overal durability

Thanks I had forgotten some of those points. I still like the AG, though at this low of points I could probably drop em. So some slight changes

Though I'm not really sold on devilgaunts (even if I gave them a spore) Though I don't mind giving them another try I guess.

I say keep one adrenal gland. if you're going for three tervimoms you could even keep two but only if you don't have anything else you really need for the list. they can make or break a game (or tank!)

Looks a lot better, you should consider dropping both the 16 man fleshborer termie groups to 15 each and using that extra 10 points to give your Prime back his LW/BS. Will come in very handy for challenges! I doubt you'll miss 2 termies with two tervigons about

Hey lostminds, just a couple thoughts I had looking at your list:

- Mobility: I run a 1500 Tervigon list frequently too, I find that having a special deployment unit or two is essential to getting objectives. (Genestealers, Ymgarls, Trygon, etc) Especially if you find yourself in a Hammer and Anvil deployment - you'll be hard pressed to reach areas of the board. Carni pod isn't bad, but one more would be ideal.

Even just a paltry 7x unit of Genestealers w/ toxin sacs runs at 119pts.

Devilgaunts are GREAT! I love em in a Pod w/ Cluster Spines, could compliment the Carni Pod well.

-Tervigons: I know some say lose the Ad Glands, but they let you reroll your wounding rolls combined with poison versus most enemies. Plus Tervigons wounding on 2s rerollable vs most is pretty sweet.

2 Tervis is ideal at 1500pts, thats already alot to keep track of.

Just something to consider.
