Interesting list with Swarmlord, the Parasite, Tervigons and lots of gargoyles. What is the Hives opinion on his perfomance?

interesting list .
kinda counter to standard math-hammer dogma .
he is using his tervagons like a hybred carnifex .
and he is making maximum use of the new 6th edition psychic powers .
I can see it being a tough list to play against .
i like it .

I really like his use of Gargoyles supported by Dome and Endurance, makes them a fast threat that takes a fair bit of shooting to take off the board.

A great read there and the comments touched on a few interesting points I agree with.

With allies (who can't share transports) we are seeing more infantry/character based deathstars which is good news for us as an infantry killing army.

Also it's reassuring to see someone else running Swarmlord solo like me and it not being particularly targeted.

His TK dome/endurance screen is also what I try to use on my stealers!

I would perhaps have toxin sacs on the one he dropped and drop crushing claws instead to be at least one back field synapse creature not being used agressively, and have the gargoyles at 30 with no adrenal glands .(swarm lord and all). Other than that it's a pretty good list and thank god he didn't didn't get owned by flyers.

Anyone else notice he was using Trollforgred Alien Brains for Zoans? Nice they didn't give him problems with it, I like them more than the GW ones and an on getting some soon.
