Firstly, it's against forum rules to post upgrade costs so you want to edit them to just show unit total costs.

Secondly, do you find no one is shooting the tyrants? No shell or guard seems a bit risky for walking tyrants. Also why have one expensive and one dirt cheap? Double devourers might be better.

The AG on the Trygons is pretty worthless now. TS will be better in most cases and barebones is probably more efficient.

Good to hear it's working for you, who are your strongest performers in the list?

[Mearl]

O yeah I forgot about that..I actually just copied/past of my notes and wasn't paying attention..

Umm well the list was really for OFCC 5th ed. 2 day tourny in Vancouver WA...96 players in 4 man teams
(awesome) where pushover list are the theme I guess but over the last 3 years it seems the hardcore list are working there way in. I wanted the list to be good all round but not crazy so if you rated the list 1,2, or a 3 it would be between a strong 2 or weak 3 even though it was rated a 3 at OFCC. I went 4,W/0,L/1,D
Everyone uses the dakka and it's all great and stuff but to watch him tear things down before it even gets to attack is just awesome (and the look on people face when they don't remember or know what they do) as for shell and guard that stuff costs way to much for me..you ever see what a squad of Space wolf dog riding dudes do to that squad.. yes they do get shot at a lot but if there not shooting my tervs or Trygons which in the end are going to win the game for me the better. If anyone was going to say anything about army selection I thought it would be about the Tyrannofex which I should take out not that it's a bad choice it's just he rarely makes his points back if at all any though he has won games for me turn one like anything that shoots a str 10 weapon.

Yep AG on a trygon does suck now and it is coming off. Bare bone is probably the way to go which in turn helps my decision of lash whips on the tyrant to get the multi assault with both and boom trygons attacking before space marines again which i do all the time.

Strongest I would say the tyrants....you can take down the biggest guys with a tyrant with lash and a few gaunts. Every model in the list has it's moments though just matters what's sitting across the table.

The real question is without the AG on the Trygon and no Tyrannofex that gives me 285 pts to do something with but what would you do?

[Jabberwocky]

Probably best to add another MC, any could work really. Another Terv is probably best though.

[Mearl]

I want to take out the tyranofex but sometimes he's just that good like sundays game against guard he took out a demolisher, russ, chimera, and a medusa... but sometimes he does nothing.

[Jabberwocky]

Just keep pushing him forward and remind opponents of what he can do. The best way for him to earn his points is absorbing a lot of firepower and giving cover to your other MCs.

[Lanesend]

^ That's a pretty good tactic vs a lot of players actually.

One of my friends complains about Hive Guard a lot. I never stop to tell him that they're probably the last unit to go, because they can stay hidden so well. It's funny how he dedicates a big chunk of his army into killing a 150 point unit.

Though on more serious battles, like tournaments, it won't work, because your opponents usually have a firm battle plan. In case of a T-fex, they will probably just ignore it.

If the T-fex works for you: Use it. If your opponents dedicate their weapons into destroying him, instead of the Tervigons, all the better.

[Mearl]

No ones mentioned what would be a good replacement for the tyranofex plus some points in the list (285pts to be exact)
