Besides being a **** I can' t really see too much that can fight this list, the Tervigons are going to destroy vehicles, flyers can be ignored as they will have to go to hover mode or go into reserves because I will literally control the board, monstrous creatures will go down to poison, I'm going to proxy models to see how it goes. The fleshborers can even glance rear armor. Only drawback would be purge the alien.

Another thing I was contemplating was dropping one Tervigon to give the rest Catalyst which would be sweet I think.

To top it all off ......All the Psyker Powers

A maximum of 1080 Gants spawned in a perfect 7 round game

Spammy as hell, but for some odd reason I like it. An I'm one of those folks that aren't big on Tervies....it would be amazing to see though.

[N.I.B.]

I like it, it would be a hard counter to Flyer spam as the table would be swamped by turn 2. A shame games would take forever.

[blindmage]

You'd get very good and fast at moving models though. Like some kind of 40k endurance/olympic event.

There are 2 massive drawbacks to this list
A. The insane number of Termagants you need to purchase and paint.
B. The insane amount of time your turns will take to play. I hope you enjoy games that you never get to finish!
While the list sounds hilarious, it would also be an immense pain in the butt.

[blindmage]

I think it could be doable, only due to the inherent self limiting factor that is dying Tervigons. You'll loose alot of gaunts when one dies, as well as loosing that synapse node and the buffs.

Yes there are 10 of them, but if the opponent focuses everything on them, even if they kill 5, that's 15d6 hits on gaunts, not counting any killed in CC or otherwise.

[t⊗theark]

There isn't a table big enough!

It would be hilarious, not even Orikan has the time to play against you. The games wouldn't reach turn 3 by which point you probably have the objectives/no one is bothering to kill all those units. And even if tervigons start dieing the'll be enough to go around. I don't think games would be very fun after a while.

I would just love to see the face on your opponent when you put 10 tervies and 60 gants on the board...especially if they're fielding a small/elite easy to tarpit GK list...Draigo i'm looking at you...

[superchum]

I am not seeing a way around 60mm's drawback A with the exception of getting pre-painted models from ebay.

For drawback B - put the termagants on square bases and then use the Fantasy model trays would allow you to move them around faster

Can you even fit that many bugs in the standard mission deployment zones? Else would be a great list to see in action.

[squidy]

Already thought of it. Needs more tervigons and gaunts. ;D

[lordbob]

Yeah I think that dropping atleast one for catalyst would be a large improvement, because with the ease of getting cover saves for monstrous creatures and the benefit of being able to use fnp for low ap weapons will make them much more survivable.

Now the time limit might be a factor, but really only for tournaments, for any games where you have the time to play a leisurely game I see no problem. The trouble I see is with the huge amounts of gants you'll have on the board, the moment any one Tervigon goes down the number of gants dying goes up.

But with fearless improvements you can swarm everything down and even take those great assault units and keep them there for the entire game.

And another great benefit is that your tervigons are characters!

Huge amounts of money in the real world, but it sounds fun

[blindmage]

I can't wait to see this vs the Chaos Zombie horde...it would be so epic!

I wrote up a similar list the other day...

HQ:
Tervigon (TS/Scything Talons/Cluster Spines/Catalyst) - 190 (Warlord)
Tervigon (AG/TS/Cluster Spines/Catalyst) - 195
Tervigon (AG/TS/Cluster Spines/Catalyst) - 195
Tervigon (AG/TS/Cluster Spines/Catalyst) - 195

Troop:
Tervigon (AG/TS/Cluster Spines/Catalyst) - 195
Tervigon (AG/TS/Cluster Spines/Catalyst) - 195
Tervigon (AG/TS/Cluster Spines/Catalyst) - 195
Tervigon (AG/TS/Cluster Spines/Catalyst) - 195
Tervigon (AG/TS/Cluster Spines/Catalyst) - 195
10 Termagants - 50
10 Termagants - 50
10 Termagants - 50
10 Termagants - 50
10 Termagants - 50

2000 points

Of course, figure 36 Termagants for each of your Troop Tervigon (10 + 26 Spawning) and 24 for each of your HQ Tervigons = 276 Termagants

Tervigon = $57.75 USD x 9 = $519.75
Termagants = $29.00 USD x 23 Boxes = $667.00
Total = $1186.75

E-bay would cut that cost down quite a bit!

Oh sure, LOL... I was just putting US retail prices out. Think about what it would cost the people in Australia at the Retail GW prices...
