Spawnstar?

[hungerer]

Has anybody else ever thought of the possibility of adding the PoM to the Swarmstar? On a good day that's 4 T9 models, all of which have the potential to cause instant death, and one having the potential to spawn Rippers.

Sure, it takes away from some of the mobility of the PoM, but you can hardly deny that it gives it a lot more staying power.

Four t9 models? I assume you mean in a double force org list, which very few people play, and the star is pretty dang resilient as it is.

2 bonesword Guard for lower price does more damage and a tricked out regen prime is better defensively.

If you have 2 force orgs, I'd be adding another deathstar to be honest, or at least 1+ Flyrants.

PoM is T5 right? So is the Prime...then your units majority is dropped to T5... The only way you could do a 4 model majority with SL toughness is if we had a T4 IC.

Hmmm, not the worst way in the world to try to keep him alive. I suppose you could keep a 30 strong group of gargoyles within joining distance as well and he could break off and go with them when the opportunity presents itself? I might try this in the spirit of trying everything in this edition possible

Swarmlord, guard, Parasite. What a motley crew indeed.

The parasite is T4 guarddog78.

My mistake...i'm in a hospital waiting room...going from memory. Viable build then...lot of points in one basket...although I'd be curious to try it against my buddies SoB army...T3+Enfeeble from SL = high ripper potential from PoM...

Unfortunately the parasite shares its WS with the guard, so you do lose majority 9.

I was under the impression he would break off the turn he planned on entering an assault if that were the case? I thought this was just to get him from point A to point B without being smeared on the pavement?

You could replace the Prime with a Parasite, I suppose.

Swarmlord
Parasite
LW Guard

It's a little more expensive than if you use a Prime, and you lose out the utility of a Prime's LW and Regen, but it could work.
