2012 tourney list

[jackshrapnel]

We have an upcoming tourney that is 2012 points (in honour of the end of the world ;D ) and after a break from nids I've decided to return to my first 40k army (and my favourite!)

been a bit, so not sure if this is viable or not but here goes:

HQ:

Hive Tyrant: wings, double devourers (take biomorph discipline)

Prime: whip/sword, (runs with fexes for support and wound allocation fun)

Troops:

Tervigon - cluster spines, toxin sacs, catalyst
Tervigon - cluster spines, toxin sacs, catalyst
10 termagants
10 termagants

Elite:

9 ymgarl stealers
2 hive guard
2 hive guard

Heavy:

2 carnifex with double devourers (flyer defense with the tyrant)
Trygon
Trygon


thoughts?

Not a fan of fexes in 6th - would rather see more hiveguard. The choice of flyrant + tervs seems to be the only viable core these days, so that's good. Trygons are solid enough.

Since it's above 2K points you might inquire about wether they allow dual force orgs, you know, like the actual rules say. 4xflyrant would be hilarious

incidentily, would it be wrong to bring dual FOC to a 2K+ tournament when they haven't specified single FOC? Seems everyone assumes 2K = 1999+1, which isn't exactly something I approve of, but I fear I might be considered an asshat (or just not allowed to play) for following the rules to the letter.

Our tournament is 2k no double force org... as much as it might be nice to run four flyrants, I certainly wouldn't want to face six annihilation barges or six psyflemen dreads...

I use to hate the fex's in 5th, but they do a decent enough job of flyer defense with the TL S6

here's the alternative version I'm planning on testing out next:

HQ:

Swarmlord (warlord) with one tyrant guard with lash whip - biomancy

Hive tyrant: wings, toxin sacs, double devourers - biomancy

troops:

tervigon - cluster spines, catalyst, toxin sacs
tervigon - cluster spines, catalyst, toxin sacs
10 termagants
10 termagants

Elite:

5 ymgarl genestealers
2 hive guard
2 hive guard

Heavy:

Carnifex with double devourers, toxin sacs
Carnifex with double devourers, toxin sacs
Trygon - toxin sacs

2010 points

could also drop the ymgarls and the toxin upgrades (although rerolling to wound is awful nice) for doom in a pod
