2k Competitive 50 T6 Wounds

I've been struggling with a way to expand my 1500 list and still field units that appeal to me. Thinking about adding Trygons to my list.

Solid, very similar to what I'm considering taking to a tournament. I see that it's exactly 2000 points - be aware that in many regions, 1999 is the new 2000.

Mostly 1999+1 I believe

At ours, it's 1850

Looks good to me, I would maybe try and fit OA on the flyrants though. But that's just a personal preference

Using this list as a template, I have two other options. How do people find the swarmlord working for them? I was thinking about making one of the flyrants into a swarmlord and dropping a trygon for 3 lashwhip guards. It would be another tough unit with t6 saturation, but I'm wary of it being useless as it slogs across the field. I just think flyers are getting more vulnerable with increased skyfire commonality.

The second option would be to remove the psychic powers, one set of devourers, and adrenal glands for 3 more hive guard. I'm not sure if its worth sacrificing the chance of getting iron arm and endurance.

Isn't the concensus now that we run just one tyrant guard to use the 50%/majority rule? You could also look into running a dakka-Tyrant together with your Hive Guards for giving them all Preferred Enemy. I'd be interested to hear how your list works out for you, whichever direction you take it in.

Good call with the single tyrant guard. After a little playtesting, I agree. Not only is the unit cheaper while still providing the necessary protection, but you're right, majority toughness after iron arm and the huge jump in WS are a great difference. Excited to try out this list, think I finally may have found what I'm looking for.
