1850 tourney next week

I played a list tonight in preparation for an 1850 tourney coming up here at the LGS...after playing, I wanted to make a few tweaks, and here is what I came up with:


HQ

Hive Tyrant wings, 2 pairs of twin-linked devourers 260 (warlord)

Elites

3 Hive Guard 150
3 Hive Guard 150

Troops

10 Termagants 50

10 Termagants 50
Tervigon with stinger salvo, catalyst, scything talons 190
Tervigon with stinger salvo, catalyst, scything talons 190
Tervigon with stinger salvo, crushing claws, catalyst, onslaught, toxin sacs, adrenal glands 235 (trading powers for biomancy)

Fast Attack

20 Gargoyles 120

Heavy Support

3 Biovores 135

Total 1840


I used 3 broods of 3 Hive Guard in the game, but felt it was a bit unnecessary, thus the inlcusion of the biovores. However, I am not quite sure how to round out the list (don't feel like adding 2 gaunts). The solutions I came up with, based on the models I have:

Add 1 biovore, going 2 broods of 2 (adjusting tervigons/gargoyles as needed)

Add 1 Hive Guard, going 3x2x2 Hive Guard (again, adjusting tervis/gargs)

Have 2 "crushigons" and 1 support Tervigon (removing adrenal glands to save points...not sure scything talons would be that necessary)

The tournament itself is a 3-round affair with Purge the Alien as a "secondary mission", with one of the other 5 missions being the primary throughout. Thus I need to keep in mind minimizing kill points for all missions. Any thoughts/suggestions/pointers?

If kill points is secondary in all missions, I'd be worried about having 3 minimal broods of gants plus spawning more. I'd certainly not split up any more units.

It looks solid as is, so maybe just add the gants.

Actually I had thought about giving the non-warlord Flyrant old adversary, to create a nice preferred enemy bubble with the gargs and the other Flyrant. Just have to drop the talons on the tervigons and 1 gargoyle. And I forgot to mention it but all the tervigons have toxin sacs.

I figured starting 12 kp on the board wouldn't be too outrageous...I plan on using my spawns wisely and not just sending everything in to their deaths. But I did try to minimize the number of broods of gargoyles, hive guard, and biovores for that reason.
