1,500 All Comers List

[merkmon]

I've recently picked the game back up after a pretty long absence. I used this list against a friend's CSM army (mostly footslogging) with great success. My buddy is new to the army though, so I don't know how effective it was.

Flyrant - LW/BS [] Wings [] TL BL Devourers [] Hive Commander [] (Rolling on biomancy for psychic powers)

2x Hive Guard
2x Hive Guard
2x Zoanthropes (Rolled on biomancy in this case, was sort of ineffectual as they had a few turns in order to get in range to use what they rolled [Hemmorage and enfeeble in this case])

Tervigon - Cluster Spines [] AG/TS [] Rolled once on biomancy in lieu of dominance
12x Termagant
12x Termagant
10x Genestealers (outflanking)

Trygon Prime - Regeneration
Trygon

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Flyrant, along with both trygon's deepstriking into the midst of the army, and the genestealers outflanking provide plenty of imminent threats for the enemy to fire at while the rest of my army moves across the field to begin securing objectives, popping tanks, and providing support in general. My game against the CSM saw him tabled in the fourth turn.

PS : With a squad of zoeys, if I swap their powers out for rolls on a chart, do I get two rolls, or as there are two models, do I get four? Unsure how this works.

I'm not 100% sure, but i think you re roll your powers per Zoanthrope. Each Zoanthrope can choose which power to use each turn, and each Zoanthrope has to make it's own psychic test. By these logic's I can only assume each Zoanthrope gets it's own powers, and you can even choose to keep the basic powers on one Zoan, and roll on any table with the other.

For your list, I think I would drop the Genestealers, 2 Gants from each squad, and add another Tervigon. The Genestealers just don't pack the punch they used to, now that you cannot assault the turn you outflank or infiltrate. And with the second Tervigon on the table, you won't need the prime upgrade on your Trygon, saving you another 40 points for regeneration on both Trygons and some buffs for the second Tervigon.

Happy wargaming

Excellent suggestion; I sort of took the genestealers as an afterthought. I like the idea of them, but they're just taking hit after hit as the editions go by.

This is a great chance to buy the new tervigon model, which is beautiful. I have a nice conversion I've been using for my one thus far. Cheers!
