Biomorphs on gargoyles?

[groundpounder]

My gargoyles seem to work well screening the rest of my force as they move accross the table. Their speed keeps them out in front of the screenies. But by the time they get close to the enemy they a thin line at best, shooting off a fleshborer shot for the heck of it. I just can't see sending them into an assault so bever by biomorphs.

Can someone tell me a tactic (I'm not too original) that would get the gargoyles to the enemy in enough force to make charging and buying biomorphs worthwhile?

Take more Gargoyles. If you've got 10, they're just a screen. 15-20, a few might make it across to tie something up for a Turn or so. 30+, you're going to start having enough making it across the board that they're really going to do some damage, and the upgrades really start being worth it.

Also, if you are using them as a screen, spread out in front of many other broods, they are going to take more damage.

If they are in more of a 'clump', then other broods share the pain and the gargs survive.

Or take a screening brood of vanilla, and a second brood with biomorphs.

Also casting endurance and/TK dome can make them last twice as long in some cases. Only really worth it with big threatening broods though.

I'm going to add my voice to the "take more gargoyles" tactic. The simple fact is, for jump infantry they're dirt cheap. The more you have, the better they work. A brood of 30 can ruin a lot of player's tactics. The only issue I have with them is they're somewhat awkward to transport.

Thanks all! I'll second the "awkward to transport"
Got another box last night.
Maybe I'll eventually have enough that I don't have to use my 8 metal models. Those were the worst to put together.
