Tervigon Spam.

[carlisle25]

Hello all, I would like to see what the group thinkes about Tervigon Spam Lists ie 4 Tervigons, 3 Termagant Broods and Support Units. Is it a Tourament Build or Not? I have been looking at it more and more.

Thanks.

I run 5 Tervigons, with 3 Harpies on a regular basis and it's pretty tough. It is however a very one dimensional build, and if you're the kind of person that likes variety, then it's not the build for you. In the lists section, I posted a thread about a month ago that had a survey. How many is too many Tervigons and the majority of feedback was to not spam Tervigons since it would be boring.

I really like my list and plan on running it for a while. I am also considering dropping the Harpies and adding 3 more Tervigons for a total of 8. Most people just can't handle that many bugs.

Of course there is also the financial commitment, since that's a large number of Termagants that you need. Figure 20-24 for each HQ Tervigon and 32-36 for each Troop choice.

It's a pretty bland list. But you have all the components there. Tervigons are psychers, smash vehicles, fight tough units. The gaunts can sort infantry.
Unless you need to consider flyers?

with that many gaunts flooding the board , you can use area denial to crash flyers if they can't move properly

@ rpicew, how are the Harpies working for you? i have never used them. Also yea the money side is part of the reason for this post as apose to running down to GW with a suitcase of money lol

@ baconslice yea i will be facing Flyers. One of my mates who played necrons at last years ETC. Has a few Flyers in his list. My plan for this is to get into cover and take the kicking then hopefully at the end i will have enuff models left to win the mission.

The Harpies are pretty good in this situation. I use them as harassment units, character killers and Tank busters until the Tervigons get into position. I run the HVC on them, and when they focus fire they can usually hurt a couple of vehicles turns 1-2.

If still alive, they are almost always in assault turn 3 and by then the Tervigons are all over the place. Don't even think about trying to win a kill point game without tabling your opponent. I am an aggressive spawner and really try and spread out quick. You have to take advantage of the spawn, move and run tactic for the little guys to get them midfield quick.

I also run Devilgants as my 3 core Termagant units and use spawned Gants as screens. It brings a considerable amount of firepower hiding amongst all those bugs.

Also a quick question. Can a Tervigon with Gate of Infinity use the power to move forward then Spawn?

No, because gate acts "as if the unit is deep striking", the deep strike happens as part of movement.

Same thing as wanting to spawn before outflanking. Outflank is the initial part of the move, therefore you can't spawn.

It can beat many sort of armies, but maybe some flamers would destroy you.
