Limited choice 1000pt

[raylorne]

Hello again. I've invested in some more units, and I think I can try playing some 1000 point games. This is what I've come up with.

HQ

Hive Tyrant
2x Devours with worms
Old Adversary
Shell and Wings

Elite

1x Hive Guard

Troops

Warrior x3
Lash+Sword

Gaunts x30
Sacs

Gants x20
Devours
Spore with venom cannon

980 points.

I can probably throw in 3 ripper swarms and hit 1010 without argument.

I've got a unit of genestealers and a few more gaunts and gants, but this list uses pretty much everything I have. I'm fairly limited in what I can substitute, but the store I play at I could probably sub the genestealers for ymgarl's without much fuss or modding.

you can't have a tyrant with both shell and wings. it's either or.

Seems I need to work on my reading skills.

At least with 40 extra points I can replace the ripper swarms with 12 more gants I suppose.

try to free up another 10 points for another hiveguard. you almost can't have enough of them.

I agree with getting another HG, 2-3 is great for 1k. I'd also look at giving the Warriors DS instead of LW+BS. Since you only have 2 synapse in this list, you'll want to keep the Warriors free to move and not stuck in CC, will save you points as well.

I'd drop the VC on the spore. If you want anti-infantry on your pod go BS. If you want AV, go DS. VC cannot pen-wreck unless vehicle is open top, terrible AT weapon.

Also, you really shouldn't go over a point limit by any amount that could be used for something in your list. Going over 10 points is basically, "I want 2 Gants for free". If you are over by 2 points and you have a 2 point upgrade . . . cut it out. The changes I mentioned, plus dropping AS, would save you 90 points which would let you add 2 HG and have a bit to spare.

HG are beast at 1k, for sure.

Awesome, thanks for the pointers. Just need to buy some more hive guard now.
