1750 list - Double Flyrant, 6 MCs

[polkadragon]

The armylist below has performed quite well against some tough opponents (Space Marines, Daemons and Space Wolves), but could always use some feedback.

Since my last game, I've removed the Doom of Malanthai because he's just too unreliable and replaced him by Deathleaper. I've also split up the Carnifex unit into two seperate Carnifexes, as I found that two of them were sometimes *too* much dakka, especially when you want to pop multiple vehicles per turn.

The random regeneration and implant attacks upgrades on the Flyrants are because I had 36 points left and didn't know what to do with it, I'm open to suggestions what to do with it instead.

Critique welcome!

Dump those random upgrades on the tyrants and pick up a third power on the Tervigons for meaty rolls on the biomancy table. That's funny that you traded DoOM for Deathleaper, I actually did the opposite. I found that 140 was just way too many points for a leadership debuff and a marginal and highly fragile close combat critter.

Well, I haven't played with Deathleaper yet, so there is a possibility he'll get dumped as well In which case I'll probably revert to 3 Hive Guards, can't go wrong with them

Do your carnifexen end up being jaws bait? I always have space wolves ruin my favorite MC's I'd be interested to hear some of your tactics using this list versus them.

I would drop the regen/IA and put CCLaws on one of the Tervs, really ups their Smash Attacks.

I would stick with DoM. Yes he is unreliable, but when he works, he can be *really* devastating. And it should be kinda rare that it is a complete flop.

Otherwise, think of Zoans, being able to toss an extra Endurance or Enfeeble can really help.

I'd personally drop the deathleaper and put the dakkafexs in mycetic spores and get hive commander on a dakkaflyrant. Those spores combined with Ymgarls will mess up the backfield.
