Another 1500 point tourney coming up

[oneeleven]

Hello Hive Mind. I had a 1500 point list two weekends ago and I went 1-1-1 with my list which put me in 6th place (can't remember exactly) out of 15 people. I've been rethinking the list and trying to tweak it to make it more streamlined. This is what I've come up with so far.

HQ:
Hive Tyrant
-wings, TL devourers x2, HC
285

Elite:
Hive Guard x3
150

Doom of Malan'tai
-spore pod
130

Zoanthropes x2
-spore
160

Troops:
Termagants x10
50

Termagants x10
50

Tervigon
-catalyst, TS, CC
210

Tervigon
-catalyst, TS, CC
210

Fast Attack:
Gargoyles x15
-TS
105

So, this puts me at 1350. For the last 150 points I had a couple options I was considering.

Option #1:
1 zoanthrope
2 biovores

This fills out the zoanthrope brood and gives me a little bit of long range fire support. This strengthens the synapse the zoanthropes provide when the drop in and allows me more flexiability with my psychich powers when switching them out.

Option #2:
Change one unit of termagants to 15 devilgaunts in a pod.

This option takes more advantage of HC on the flyrant. Gives me the ability to hit a flank hard with another unit dropping in or to pressure a hard to reach unit that is harrassing my army.

Option #3:
Warriors x4
-deathspitters, BS

Gives me a bit of ranged shooting and another synapse hub. Not sure I really need it, but it can't hurt really. I know they suffer from their T4, but they can help contribute in a couple different areas.

Right now I'm leaning towards option #1. It seems to benefit my army the most and I think it gives me the most flexiability to my army. What does the rest of the Hive Mind think? Also, any other suggestions are welcome as well as critique of the list. Thanks in advance.

I like options 1 or 2. Biovores can definitely be nice, but I've come to be a big fan of devilgants in a spore. Not sure you could go wrong with either.

I would take 2 biovores but then add another 10 gaunts to ur squads

[oneeleven]

Thanks for the responses so far. I am leaning towards option #2 of the devilgaunts in a spore. Mainly because I don't own any biovores yet and I won't have the money beforehand to acquire any. Thanks very much!

get rid of CC on the tervigons and get rid of the gargoyles and add a flyrant

[oneeleven]

I decided to go another route as I got some models cheap from a friend. The reason for the CC on the tervigons is because that's what they are modeled with. Here's the reworked list.

HQ:
Hive Tyrant
-wings, TL devourers x2

Hive Tyrant
-wings, TL devourers x2

Elite:
Doom of Malan'tai
-spore

Troops:
Termigants x10

Termigants x10

Tervigon
-catalyst, TS, CC

Tervigon
-catalyst, TS, CC

Fast Attack:
Gargoyles x15

Gargoyles x15

Shrikes x3
-LW/BS

This should be 1500 even. I wanted to give the army a mobile presence with strong support. The gargoyles, flyrants and shrikes are a highly mobile element that can zoom around where they can cause the most damage. The shrikes can keep up with the gargoyles and provide them synapse so they don't break from casualties on the way in. They also provide some ability to help with TEQ outside of the MC's.

The doom and tervigons help to provide strong support to the mobile elements. They also help with psyker defence and the tervigons help strengthen the synapse web. Any thoughts on the new list or ideas on how to change/strengthen it more? Thanks in advance.
