2.000 pts for Tourneys 1 FOC

[eariwin]

I tried to create a balanced list, with a good mix of amount of insects and CM.

HQ
Hive Tyrant armoured shell, heavy venom cannon, Old Adversary Tot. 260[Biomancy]
Tyrant Guards x2 scything talons Tot. 120

Elites
Hive Guards x3 Tot. 150

Hive Guards x3 Tot. 150

Troops

Tervigon scything talons, toxin sacs, Catalyst, Onslaught Tot. 205[Biomancy]

20x Termagant spinefist Tot. 120[mounted and painted, I can't change]

20x Termagant spinefist Tot. 120["]

20x Hormagaunt toxin sacs, adrenal glands Tot. 200

20x Hormagaunt toxin sacs, adrenal glands Tot. 200

HS
Tyrannofex rupture cannon Tot. 265

5 pts left...

The Tyrannofex is in mainly for the Sv 2+. The rupture cannon, with Old Adversary, is a small chance do do something at long range.
With the 6 Hive Guards in the only reliable AT.

Hormagaunt as light assault troops for enemy shooting units units(saturation). Gant with Tervigon for everything else(saturation and AP 2 hits).

With 8 rolls on Biomancy I can have the powers I need(mainly Endurance and Debilitate, plus 1-2 Iron Arms).
With 2 Tervigon I think I can create about 30 Gants, for a total of 70(9-10 Valid Units).

The walking Tyrant, with Sv 2+, is tough. The Flyrant is too fragile for me.

Any other suggestion??? I've a Elites free: was thinking about Zoathropes or Ymgarl's Genestealer, but I must drop something(1 Tervigon or the Tfex)...

[GuardDog78]

I'd drop the t-fex and use those points for 2 zoeys in a pod...then use the leftover points for a Prime you can use for Synapse, attach to a gaunt brood, or attach to the tyrant for damage mitigation...

[rpricew]

I'd drop a Tyrant Guard and the Tyrannofex. That's 325 points, plus the 5 points gives you a total of 330 points to work with.

Add a Tyranid prime to the Tyrant for 100 points (Toxin sacs, dual bone Swords)

If you have 20 Gargoyles... Then do all of this:
Drop one unit of Spinegants (-120 points)
Add 2 units of 10 Gargoyles to screen your Hormagaunts (160 points)
Add 7 Hormagaunts (70 points) to make 24 & 23 in your broods.

If you don't have Gargoyles... Then use either one of these combos:
~You can use a Devilfex in a Spore Pod (230 points)
~Trygon with Toxin Sacs (210 points) plus 2 Hormagaunts (20 points)
~Doom in a spore pod (130 points) plus 10 Hormagaunts (100 points)

[eariwin]

I have 20 Gargoyles, but are not yet painted. I tought of them, but without a fast synapse I don't know if they work properly.
If I drop 1 unit of Spinegants, 1 Tervigon must be HQ or I must make 2 brood of 10 Gants, too small for make anything...

The Trygon is in effect the other option I tought of for HS, Primus if I need more synapse. Stronger, but less resistant.
I was only thinking about T-fexs, if they could be useful(I have 2, never played).

[rpricew]

My buddy runs this list with the Gargoyles and uses the Swarmlord instead of a 2+Tyrant for the extra powers and the 18" synapse bubble. It's about the same points, and with some tweaks, you could pull it off.

Prime, Swarmlord/Tyrant (run this unit forward), and two Tervigons that's a pretty stable synapse platform

[eariwin]

After a few tought I decide that a Ymgarl's Brood is a must. They are very useful.
So I drop a few Gants(10), some upgrade and swap the Tyrannofex with a Trygon...

Total 1.999

Or I can play 7 Ymgarl and with 24 pts 4 more Spinegants.

I ran this list last night against Chaos Space Marines. It was almost overwhelming. I tabled my opponent in 4. In his defense, he wasn't prepared to accept the Horde and I rolled good Psychic powers and spawned strong numbers. You can read the Battle Report Here or in my signature (page 3).
