At 2000 points, swarmlord HAS to have at least I've tyrant guard, otherwise you can consider him dead turn 1 if the opponen understands target priority. You're also extremely light on troops. Remember 5/6 missions are objective based.

I'm confused though. Title of your thread says 1000 point list, your OP indicated you have made up 1999 points....but I count 999.

Which is it?

[Nightmare20]

My bad. 1000 points. So do I still need a Tyrant Guard at such a low value and if I were to add more troops what should I take out?

[FTGTEvan]

Could drop a Tervigon and add 15 devilgants + 5 more vanilla gants or 14 devilgants and fully upgrade the crushigon (and shift it to troops). That's if you didn't feel the need for a Tyrant Guard. If you did, could drop the vanilla terv (and move crushigon to troops) and add the guard and either 10 devils + 3 gants or load up the crushigon and add 15 hormagaunts.

Just some thoughts if you're willing to go with just 1 terv, which I think is reasonable at 1k. Of the options I suggested, I like the last by just a hair; I love a souped up Terv, and the extra hormagaunt squad can act as a shield/fire-sponge as the terv moves up, while the gants and first spawned gant squad camp on objectives in your deployment zone/backfield. My second choice would be bringing devilgants as they bring just so much fire and, at this level, even 10 can be very hard to move off an objective in cover without template weapons, as my friend's Logan Grimnar has discovered more than once.

I ended up dropping a Tervigon and upgrading the terms with devourers and a pod. Added a single barebones Tyrant Guard and good thing because it went down to CSM Rapid Fire and a twinlinked Lascannon Hellbrute. Saved my Swarmlord long enough to get him into assault with his Sorcerer and I wiped out him and his squad in 2 turns thanks to Warp Speed and Endurance. Game was majorly in his favor until my Hive Guard glanced and wrecked his first Rhino, stop-gapping the terrain next to the relic and bought myself enough time for my reserves and then I tabled him.

Congrats on the win!

I only count 989 pts, so 11 points spare, plus two yealers could get you a third hive guard.
