1850 tournament list

[roxor08]

K guys, got whooped up on the other day, mostly due to tactical error but I've taken a disliking to a few of the units.

List 1 (the one I've used so far)
HQ
Flyrant w/dual BL devs, hive commander

Elite
3 Hive guard
9 Ymargl stealers

Troops
10 termagants
10 termagants
Tervigon w/stinger salvo, toxin sacs, three powers, crushing claws

Fast Attack
20 gargoyles

Heavy Support
3 Biovores
Trygon
Trygon

Total: 1850

List 2

Hive tyrant-Dual devourers, Hive commander, Armored shell
-1 Hive guard

Elite
DoM-Mycetic spore
x3 Zoans-Mycetic spore

Troops
10 Termagants
10 Termagants

Tervigon-Stinger salvo, Toxin sacs, all 3 powers, crushing claws

Fast attack
20 Gargoyles

Total: 1850

Very different lists, I am aware. I didn't like how the Biovores were limited to shooting a single round in the 2 games I played (either due to my gants too close to the target or couldn't shoot due to being locked in combat) nor did I like how the Hive guard performed. The HG only took a total of 4 hull points off of drop pods between both games.

Let me know if I'm thinking about things wrong but with the new list I'm hoping the Tyrant can attract missiles and increase average toughness with Iron Arm, while allowing Flyrant to be more aggressive (and I don't have to worry about losing Warlord). Tervigon's will try to fill in for Trygons...

i like your first list better personally i would drop the ymargls and add zoans instead and possibly drop crushing claws on both terv's i found mine never made it into CC since they were more at the back and tried to avoid CC for the most part with so i could keep support up and move them where i needed them.

i would say drop doom on the second iam not sure how well he would preform agaisnt now horde armies but i never really use him to much so i could be wrong

The first list is more threatening So potion I would do is drop the ymgarls down to a 7 man squad and drop one biovore. For some points to fill out gargoyles with TS and AG. Making them a threat in themselves. Or you could drop the gargoyles or hive guard for the Doom in a spore pod.

I read about your SW game and that list seamed to be a paper to your rock you could say. I would not give up on your list over that one game. The list is solid and you know now what to expect from it.

Yeah I agree. I also attribute my massive loss to leaving some things in reserve....I know the list is strong, but I also haven't seen a few of the units I expected to do well, to do anything useful at all...

We'll see, I've got some more games coming up that I'll give it a try again.
