The strategy is to run forward hugging cover, and trying to get everyone in close and then unload stupid amounts of firepower, and overwhelm the enemy with numbers, while my MC's deal with characters or Vehicles

Rerolling to hit and miss with preferred enemy.

Question:

If you have twin linked weapons, and preferred enemy, do you reroll your 1's to hit after you reroll your first set of misses with twin linked?

Such as: roll 12 dice. 6 hit. 6 miss.

Reroll 6 misses, 3 more hit

but there's a 1 in the reroll.. Do I get to reroll that?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Perhaps dropping the trygon, putting the fexes in pods? and getting a biovore or two?

I dunno.

To answer your question, no, you may not reroll the die again. I don't have my rulebook on me, but the rule has always been that you may only reroll a die once, no matter how many modifiers apply to the roll.

As far as your list, I would probably ditch toxin on your termagants to free up some points...if they are going to be in range of your tervigons, they will benefit from toxin/adrenal anyway. How many termagants do you have? Starting 80 on the board is a lot, plus you have 2 tervigons that can pop more out. Fine as long as you have enough to spare. You might as well fill your 6th troops slot with your other tervigon as well, so it can be scoring.

Podding the fexes may be worthwhile, as they can easily get bogged down in this list. Just make sure to keep them near synapse when they drop so that you can shoot with them for more than one turn. Not sure that you'll need biovores in this list, but I am a big fan...

Ahh okay. One can hope though!

I have around 120 termigants. Enough for this list.

So remove toxin, and 3 gants = 80 points freed up = 2 spore pods.

And they can get behind enemy tanks and waste rear armor.

I'm going to plan on the tyrant being there for turn 2 for the benefits of reroll 1's to wound. and hopefully by turn 3 the tervigons are close enough to provide synapse!

*So remove toxin, and 3 gants = 75 points freed up + 5 points left over from previous list. = 2 spore pods.

This list is very similar to what i run
only difference is i take 1 dakkafex and another flyrant at 1850 my list is your with these differences

no toxic my 1 fex is spored so the 190 for the lost fex and the 80 freed up points(1 40 for my 1 spore) = my flyrant wif las whipa and bs( i usually keep them in case i need to go into combat) and TLBD
