2000PTS allowing 6 Fast-Attack slots has opened my eyes.

I'm tempted to field 3x Gargoyles broods, 2x Harpies, 2x Tyrants, and 1x Shrikes.

Yes, None of those can score, but perhaps a couple of warriors or termagaunts in pods can land on objectives once the dust settles from the beat of hundreds of wings.

Anti-Tank might be a problem, yet while i'm podding I might as well add some zoanthropes into the mix.

In all the all reserves list is dead, but the sight of 90 gargoyles should be just as impressive on the board.

what's your thoughts?

Sounds fun, however 90 gargoyles is a pain to move. A guy at my FLGS runs 60 Gargoyles with two Tervigons casting FNP on them. He does ok in fun games, but he is always running long on game time.

I'd drop one brood of Gargoyles, add a 2nd unit of Shrikes and just run two flanks for your Flying Circus

I have thought about running 90 gargoyles alot. Ive have lots of time to sit and think about different list builds. If you were going to run 90.. I was thinking strech them out like 2 rows of 15 or the whole table. yeah your going to lose some but 3 waves hitting the front lines. Multi-assault would tie up everything. @ at point i wouldnt upgrade them at all.

And its not always about whats in the list... its how you use it.

I wanted to attempt something similar, except I wanted to play around with a PoM. Yeah, I know he's a bit "eh," but their's just something about having rippers tear their way out of my enemies bodies that makes me smile...

Probably a 60 goyle screen, a few shrikes, and something to screw with the ground (probably a DoM in a pod or a DL as psychological warfare).

Just a thought or 2.

I just played a game against the new Chaos dex with a Flying Circus, but it was only 1/2 of the Circus.

One Flyrant
18 Gargoyles (TS/AG)
Harpy
6 Raveners (RC/Deathspitters)
5 Shrikes (Dual BS/ TS)

Supported by Tervigons and Devilgants for Scoring.

It was really fast and hit hard, but it lacked staying power. Also, against Noise Marines, they ignored my cover & armor saves on all of those units so they were thinned out quickly to shooting.

It would be better with more bodies probably... Maybe like you said, 2 large units of Gargoyles, Two Dakka Flyrants, Two units of Ravs/Shrikes and just drown them with bodies. Of course, without the extra spawning from the Tervigons, we may find ourselves sorely lacking in bodies.
