Hive Fleet Hydra @ 500,1000,1500,2000,2500

[riverzora]

So I finally figured on my fleet... I wanted to use a range of all the (somewhat useful) models and monsters, and came up with this. It all progresses quite nicely, adding more and more on as you go. I look forward to building it all. All points totals exact.

Ta da! Let me know what you reckon.

[riverzora]

Had a little edit to the lists- just a move around to get me some Biovores and a third HG in the big force, whilst preventing anti-dual-force rules.

In terms of what is already purchased:

Swarmlord, 2 Tyrant Guards, 12 Terms, Broodlord, 5 Genestealers, DoM, Tervigon, Trygon.

I plan to buy up in points, so next will probably go Zoans and HGs, then Gargoyles, then make the spore(ideas welcomed), then another Tervigon, then another Trygon, then more terms and Genestealers and Warriors... Finally Biovores. Then Ta Da!

[bugpunk]

While that is impressive and actually helps out a lot, I am trying to figure out why there is no Mawloc love? I like that you added Biovores at the end too! Lol I always add them as an "Oh yeah, them " force in dream lists. What's your success with the toxinstealers + BL?

[riverzora]

Because Mawlocs are half as good as Trygons for eighty percent of the cost?

Haven't had a chance to use Broody yet- hoping to get some games booked in soon. Still in the painting phase!
