2k list

[jmg202]

2 flyrants with 2 TW devs old adversary

2 harpy with HVC
5 biovores (2,2,1)

15 devilgaunts in pid
10 regular termigaunts

tervigon scything talons
2 powers

tervigon
1xtra power
talons

3 hive guard
2 hive guard

idea of list is obvious the flying circuis is the main threat keeping opponet distracted while biovores cause an annoyance. deepstriking devilgaunts behind light armor or light infantry, using tervigons and other gaunts for tarpitting and capturing.

This is truly a terrifying list, jmg202. I like the concept of using 2 waves. Bringing your flyers in quickly will allow your slower units time to situate themselves. The number of MCs you're putting on the board it scary too.

From what I know about harpies and flyrants, they are relatively fragile so you'll want to be careful. From my own experience, when I field a small number of gaunts as a squad they are usually targeted quickly and eliminated, giving the opponent an easy Victory Point. Personally, I would cash in your squad of 2 Hive guard for another 12 gaunts.

Send us a bat rep when you play this. It looks really exciting and cinematic.


Best of luck to your game, jmg202.

im really looking forward to it, just curious as to why i should drop the 2 hive guard? the termgaunt units are mainly for harrassing, would consider droping the
two hive guard for a pod and more gaunts for my deepstriking goodness.

would you think more devigaunts?

[Ragged Warrior]

small units of gaunts are easy to pick off--it's not until you have large numbers of them that they are effective. What I was worried about was that you were potentially offering your opponent 2 easy Victory Points. Perhaps just consolidating them into a single brood would be more effective. Just thoughts.

Field what you are going to have fun playing and see what happens.

I would drop the harpies for a lot more stuff, probably gargoyles and another devilgaunt pod. I tried the harpy a lot and have not been impressed. It does not do any one thing good, but instead does two things half ass. (anti tank/infantry).

If the harpy is what you are going for then ofcourse use it. I would suggest bringing regular gaunts and no pod and adding gargoyles to get more of a flying wall while tervigons set up shop midfield. Oh ya, and dropping one biovore for another Hive guard seems worth it.

[Jabberwocky]

Have you had any luck with the HVC? I've always found it a let down.

For me, the Harpies are more about FMC saturation and the threat of pinning/penning, via large blasts and smash.

I'd probably also drop a biovore for a Hive Guard just to even out brood sizes.

I'd use the points from dropping HVC to beef up either/both gant broods or have both Tervs the same (can't tell if they are the way you've listed them?)

[jmg202]

for the moment im focussing on the harpies because i just converted some and using the flyrants. i really do hate gargoyles even though im aware of
there effectiveness.
