Tournament tomorrow, last minute advice

[Kyokii]

Okay, so I'm going to a 1500 pt tournament. It'll be my third ever and I have no real Idea what I'll be up against other than at minimum one IG player. this is what I have:


[HQ]
Hive Tyrant - Wings, 2x TL-Devourer, Hive commander, 2 Biomancy

[Troops]
Tervigon - Cluster spines, Regeneration, Adrenal Glands, 3 Biomancy
Tervigon - Same as above
Termagant brood x10 Devourers, Mycetic spore
Termagant Brood x15 Fleshborers

[Elite]
Hive Guard x2
Hive Guard x2
Doom of Malan'tai w/ Mycetic Spore

[Heavy]
Trygon - Toxin sacs
Total - 1500 pts
Thoughts? Anything I should look out for?
And the Tervigon can't get crushing claws since I didn't magnetize that stuff.

[Ragged Warrior]

Looks like a solid list. I wouldn't worry too much. Are you planning on outflanking one of those tervigons? I hope so. Looks like you are going for an alpha deep strike strategy, which is what I myself like to do. There's nothing so sweet as throwing a bunch of aliens in your opponent's face.

Good luck on your battles.

I say ditch the regen and you gain 60pts!. Personal choice. Some people swear by it but I have never found it to make that much of a difference unless I get lucky. With the points you could get a 10man gargoyle screen which could easily save the same number of wounds that would be regened by granting cover saves. It also adds a turn 2 threat which means it will take fire on turn 1, saving your other units from taking the same fire. Alternatively you could add to your devilgant squad. Right now it is a little light to be an effective alpha strike.

I like toxin sacs over adrenal glands on my Tervigons since I send my gants against troops more often than against vehicles and the poison is usually more valuable than the str pop. Maybe AG on one and TS on the other if you will be advancing them together?

Just some thoughts. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

[Squire]

Yea I probably wouldn't bother with the regen either. I'd rather have 12 gaunts for the same price. I'm not a competitive player though

Let us know how you do!

[Kyokii]

Alrighty, I went ahead and added the Gargoyles, shaved the filler gant squad down to 11 to bring up the devilgants to 12. So, 6 more shots of fun. And, of course, a 10-body gargoyle brood for screening and threat-range.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm pretty cautious with regeneration - It works on my Trygon sometimes, but I've not used it anywhere else.

Also yes, I will likely attempt to outflank my tervigon. though there's still that awful chance of it ending up in exactly the wrong table endge so I'll let that depend on what I'm facing and such.

I'll be sure to let you guys know how I fare.

So inregards to that tournament, this is what happened:

We show up at 11:30, thinking it'll start at noon. The shop owner wasn't there, so it's 10 people standing around outside until his wife shos up at about 1:30.

They decided not to do a tournament and just one big ass battle between 'chaos' and 'order'
8000 points both sides...

It went okay, then it was going great but so much (please do not swear) is going on at once, people messing up rules, and they added some apocalypse elements to it, then it turns out our side was 3000 points over the enemy's.

So, first time and last time at that shop. it was just.... No.

[bigpig]

Too bad . I am not a fan of big games with many many unknown players. Too much going on, too many people muffing rules and maybe getting attitude. At least you got to roll dice though. Day wasn't a total waste

[Kyokii]

Yeah, it wasn't too terrible. I only lost a gaunt brood and two Zoanthropes.
And new experiences and such. But the disorder and lack of thought was just not good to me :T
