750 point list advice

[hadriel]

hey everyone I am seeking advice on list for a campaign.

so far at 500 points I have been cleaning up going 3-0 and tabling a necron and IG army and wrecking a BA army.

but we are moving up to 750 and I am kinda of stuck what to use, I have a few list ideas and just want to get your opinion. The missions are coming from the battle missions book

list 1.

HQ
Hive tyrant- T/L devours and bs/lw


Troops
10x devilgaunts
10x devilgaunts
1x tervigon - catalyst and onslaught
1x tervigon- catalyst

I like the large amount of t6 and MC but what scares me is that there will be some av 12 leman russ and av13 with the tau hammerhead, until of course my MC get there and get them in CC.

my other list goes as follows

hq

Tervgion- catalyst, onslaught and ts

elite
3x hive gaurds
1x zoan

troops
10x devil gaunts
1x tervigon- catalyst, onslaught
10x hormagaunts

any thoughts on this on these lists or even your own lists I have pretty well the codex for models to choose from so any ideas would be great. the armies I could be facing are 1 traitor guard, a guard army, 2 ork armies, necron, BA and tau

bump, any advice?

How about:

HQ:
Prime; BS,TS,RG; 110

ELITES:
Hive Guard x2; 100

Zoanthrope x2; Mycetic spore; 160

TROOPS:
Tervigon; ST,SS,AG,TS,Cat; 200

T'gants x10; Devs; 100

H'gaunts x10; TS; 80

Gives you some decent light/medium AT with the HG; zoans to drop in early drawing fire and option to use Warp Lance against heavy armour; nice scoring potential from the tervigon/gants, h'gaunts to get across the board and engage where poss works with zoans to give enemy choices to make on who to shoot, prime to provide synapse or join HG/t'gants or wreck face with a challenge or two.

'Nids & Marines

Well, of the two lists I'd go with the first, but only have one power per Terv and make one brood of gaunts regular. Then I'd use those points for crushing claws on the tervs, and ts+ag if you can afford it.

HQ
Hive tyrant t/l devours bs/lw
Elite
Hive gaurdx 2
Troop
10x temagaunt-
10x termaguants-
Tervigon- catalyst toxin sacs
Tervigon- catalyst scything talons

750 points.

thanks for all the advice it help, after thinking and a couple games this is the list I am going to try on Wednesday, the campaign is the planetary empire campaigns so I am going to use this as a base and if I get extra points for what I hold I am going to use them to add to this list, which will probably involve making at least 1 squad devilgaunts. I will let you know how It goes.

now do you think the armored shell is worth it for 40 points if i can get them

Dont bother with synapse for the Hguants. they get 1+ attacks on the charge because of rage. and they have to attack the closest unit. Should be fine because they are heading for the flank or the front line anyhow. I let them just do there thing... besides, the codex says the are the 2nd wave / main wave. The require little direction from the Hive mind. Once the assault begins they are mostly left to their own devices. ( yeah i just hit nerd status )
