2000 pt list

[milkybarnid]

Hey Hive,

This is my 2000 pt list, i am likely to be facing Imperial Guard but this may change.

HQ
Hive Tyrant - TL Dev x 2, Toxin Sacs and Wings

Troops
Warriors x5 - Talons, Rending Claws, Toxin Sacs
Warriors x5 - Talons, Rending Claws
Termagaunts x12
Tervigon - Crushing Claws, Adrenal Glands, Toxin Sacs, Catalyst, Onslaught
Hormagaunts x 20

Elites
Hive guard x 3
Zoanthrope x 2

Fast Attack
Ravener x5 Spinefists

Heavy Support
Trygon - TS
Biovore x 3

The plan is to harass any vehicles that may be bought to the table, thus the Flyrant. The Trygon can cope with russes and draw fire away from the tervigon. Im not too worried about big blob squads, small IG squads are easy kills but to put them together means more meat for the biovores. The raveners will hopefully charge a squad that has been shot at to finish it off, i will try to avoid larger squads as 5+ can only get you so far. the warrior squad with TS will go up with the tervigon which will spawn gaunts (hopefully that make it to cover) to contest/claim objectives. the warrior squad without TS will sit back with biovores on babysitting duty and claim a backfield objective if i am lucky to get one. Hormagaunts will act as a screen for the tervigon/warriors. warriors are armed with RC so that they may deal with a variety of enemies.

Your thoughts and comments, Thank you

The warriors are not as good as some of your other options. A second tervigon is great for 2000 pts, and you can put it as either an HQ or scoring unit. Also, ditch the hormagaunts, add more termies or even a 2nd trygon. I find that gargoyles are a better screen, simply because they are a larger threat (can move faster) and are cheaper for full upgrades. Raveners are great, rending claws are better i find against most armies.

TS on the Trygon is a waste since he'll be IDing IG. I'd drop the Hormagaunts and add another Biovore, splitting them into 2 broods of 2. Then use the spare points to get HC on the Flyrant and outflank a squad of Warriors with DS and BS. You can do all the and have points to spare.
