1k Balanced

Hey hive, I'm thinking of hosting a mini 40k tourney, 1000points, three rulebook missions, 3 games. The list I'm thinking of at the moment:

-HQ-
Tervigon, toxinsacs, catalyst, onslaught - 200

-ELITES-
3x Hiveguard - 150
Doom of Malantai, spore - 130
6x Ygmarls - 138

-TROOPS-
6x Genestealers, Broodlord (scything Talons) - 132
10x Termagaunts - 50
Tervigon, toxinsacs, catalyst, onslaught - 200

Total = 1000 points

Lots of troops (minimum 5 after first spawns), average anti-tank as everything but the termagaunts have a reasonable chance if they get into combat. I'm not sure how the ygmarls will do with such a small brood but together with the Doom they should be a distraction while my stealers and tervs/gaunts get into place.

Should be fun rolling with the new psychic powers charts if the enemy has no psychic defense. Any suggestions or feedback?

I would attempt this. Drop 1x Hive Guard and the Genestealers. That is 182pts.

Now move the Tervigon to the Troops, take 50pts of additional Termagants and then take a Prime HQ that with walks up the board with the Hive Guard or in a unit of Termagants.

This gives you 2x MC's for holding objectives and also makes the termagant units a threat with the Prime in there for CC carnage and challenges.

I will have to try this out, I've a feeling I'll be having an even harder time vs armour with this list:

-HQ-
Tyranid Prime, Lash and Sword, Toxin Sacs 105

-ELITES-
2x Hiveguard - 100
Doom of Malantai, spore - 130
7x Ygmarls - 161

-TROOPS-
10x Termagaunts - 50
Tervigon, toxinsacs, catalyst, onslaught - 200
10x Termagaunts - 50
Tervigon, toxinsacs, catalyst, onslaught - 200

Total = 1000 points
